“Another awesome stay with Stacey! My poodle Syd had a great time and was not all that excited to see me upon return!!! She is so social and loves playing with other dogs and evidently had a blast at Stacey's! My two kitties who stayed home were checked on by Stacey and given fresh food, water, litter and lots of love and lots of professional photos for me! So very happy to find Stacey, for my fur-babies and for me! Thank you, Stacey!”
“Kate was great and very accommodating! A true dog lover! I was very comfortable leaving my baby with her for a long weekend and he seemed to have had a good time as well :-)”
“I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough! While visiting New Orleans, I had to fly to Los Angeles for 4 days and needed a trustworthy dog sitter. Elizabeth’s reviews stood out, and after our meet and greet, I knew I had found the right person. She asked thoughtful questions and was so attentive to my pup’s needs, ensuring his best interests were top of mind. Her communication while I was away was excellent—she sent frequent video and photo updates, which put me completely at ease. I wish I lived in the area because I would definitely be a repeat client. Highly recommend!”
“Julia is amazing, she had everything ready when we arrived and was an excellent host for our doggie. She kept us up to date on Moo's days and made her feel at home. I highly recommend her. Will be going back to her when we come back.”
“Aja was great with my 3 month old very active pup. She is very patient and dealt with him professionally. He was happy when we picked him up. She sent very regular updates and pictures which I much appreciate. You are made aware of everything and can go ahead with your day assured that your pet is in a safe and happy care. I would send my pup back to Aja whenever there is a need again.”
“Chayanne was great with my best friend Phil. He came home happy and healthy and appropriately tired. She was super flexible with my schedule changes and a good communicator. Recommend!”
“My dog was so happy at drop off when he saw Mike again! Mike went above and beyond as usual, playing with my pup daily and making sure he felt so loved. I have already booked him for future trips. Thank you so much for always sending plenty of updates/photos!”
“Madison was amazing! She kept our sweet girl and sent lots of pictures and videos to let us know how it was going. We'll definitely be reaching out to Madison again in the future.”
“Amazing Experience with Damaris! Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more grateful for Damaris and the care she gave to my sweet Cavachon, Bella. Bella is a 5-year-old bundle of energy. Damaris went above and beyond! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a genuinely kind and sweet person who loves animals. Bella warmed up to her instantly, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in Damaris's care. Throughout the stay, Damaris kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. Bella had a blast with her, and I could tell she was in loving hands the whole time.”
“Cheryn was amazing! You could immediately tell she was really caring and passionate about dogs. Huey had a great time and we loved the great communication and pictures. Highly recommend Cheryn!”
“Our dog had a blast during his stay with Liz! She is thoughtful, communicative and we loved the daily pup photos. We are so appreciative and would recommend Liz in a heartbeat.”
“Katherine and her family were great with my shy little chihuahua. They were also super flexible with pickup and drop off when my flight times kept getting changed. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
About: I’m a dog trainer and former veterinary technician, which means I bring both behavioral and medical experience to every dog I care for. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy working breeds, and dogs with special needs or medical routines. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs I understand them, structure their environment, and keep them safe and relaxed. Every dog in my care gets individualized attention, exercise, and consistency in a calm, secure home environment. Pet care is part of my daily routine and I structure my schedule around the dogs in my care. I provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and supervised play throughout the day, along with calm rest periods so dogs stay comfortable and relaxed. I adjust my routine based on each dog’s needs, whether that’s more exercise for high-energy dogs or a calmer environment for older or lower-energy dogs. My goal is to make sure every dog is safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. In my home, pets are cared for in a structured, safe, and calm environment where their well-being comes first. I’m a dog trainer and former veterinary technician, so I’m experienced with a wide range of dogs, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and high-energy working breeds. Each dog is given their own kennel for rest and to ensure they feel secure and comfortable when not directly supervised. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and enrichment throughout the day based on their individual needs and routines. I also have a large fenced-in backyard that allows for safe off-leash play and structured enrichment activities. My focus is always on maintaining a stable environment where dogs feel safe, trusted, and understood while reinforcing good behavior and consistency.
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“Amy has been so kind and understanding with my new journey of being a puppy mom. She’s very patient and I feel safe to leave Santiago with her and her family. I’m so grateful that we found her through Rover!”
“Melissa was the first sitter we used on Rover and we are very happy with our experience. She kept us updated and was easy to reach. She is very nice and was very sweet to our dog. We will definitely use her services again.”
Elmwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dog received from Stacy this past week while we were away. From the updates and photos to the love and attention given every day, we had complete peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. It’s clear how much care and dedication goes into what you do. Our dog came home happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter — truly a 5-star experience!
Madison did an amazing job, I loved how many pictures / updates I received. Knowing my boys were safe and having the best time while I was away on my trip reduced a lot of the stress of traveling. She is very good at what she does and would absolutely book with her again.
Julia is the absolute best! With very short notice, she was willing to take in my dog for a medical emergency and cared for her with above and beyond being an understatement. I recommend her for the care of your dogs. She sends photos, gives updates, asks questions, and truly loves them! Such a terrific person all around.
Lynn was absolutely wonderful! Sent daily videos of Sally showing her having a fun time running around the yard. Lynn is always quick with communication in setting up booking and with pick up and drop off logistics. I will continue to use Lynn as my dog is in good hands.
Beth was a great sitter. She agreed to a last minute dog sit after a quick "meet and greet". I was happy to have the meet and greet, since I had cautioned her that our 86 pound puppy was very, very, energetic and loved to jump on people. After meting Hank, she accepted the challenge. Hank came back from the 2 night stay happy and tired. Charlie, Beth's small dog, was a great playmate for Hank. I will be using Beth again
Parnay was absolutely amazing with my pug, Zeke. From the moment we connected, it was clear how caring, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful he is with animals. Zeke was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Parnay kept me updated, treated Zeke like his own, and went above and beyond to make sure all of Zeke’s needs were met. It’s obvious he has a natural way with dogs and truly understands their routines and personalities. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust Parnay again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and exceptional pet caregiver. Thank you, Parnay, for taking such great care of Zeke! 🐾
Aja was amazing! She was attentive to all the details- sent photos daily of our fuzzy babies. Aja is punctual, great communicator and outstanding pet sitter. I would give her 5 out of 5 in every way. Plan to use Aja for all of our animal care needs!! Thank you & Mom so much!!
Our dog Mona Lisa had a great stay with Natalie! This was our first time using Rover and it was super. Natalie came to do a meet and greet before boarding at her house. She made sure she knew all Mona’s schedules and routines. We got daily updates and photos and I think the dog had as much of a vacation as we did! Highly recommend Natalie and we will seek out her services again the next time we need boarding for Mona Lisa.
Liz cared for my senior, ailing fur angel just the way I hoped she would be treated! Not only is my Daisy girl blind & elderly, but she’s also recently challenged with what is likely vestibular disease and therefore requires not only extra care and attention but also must be administered medications. Liz seemed to handle all of this with ease despite other animals presence during the boarding at Liz’s home. She was sure to separate Daisy from the other animals when she felt the need to do so and she also didn’t mind giving her the extra pets and snuggles she so needs to be kept comfortable and at ease. Her daily updates with photos kept ME at ease while I was away working. I have already joked that Liz can’t get rid of us now LOL & will be rebooking with her on a regular basis.
