“Percy was well cared for and greatly enjoyed his stay with Deana and her husband! We are so glad we found them. They went above and beyond to care for my dog and make him happy.”
“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“Matt and Jill took great care of our dog Luna! I was happy for her to be in a home where she was walked, had a nice dog friend, and I received daily updates. We will definitely book again!”
“Rachelle loved our dog like her very own while we were away on vacation! She cared for her so well, in fact, we’re going to have to step up our game now that we have our baby back home! 😊 Our dog also has a new best friend in Rachelle’s dog Sassy-a sweet, gentle, hospitable dog friend. Highly recommend Rachelle!”
“Shauna watched Luna last summer and did such an amazing job, we thought we’d ask her again to watch her and our new addition, Koda, for this summer vacation. Beyond satisfied again! Shauna treats our babies just like her own every time she watches them. It’s like they are on a vacation of their own at her house! There are always other dogs for them to play with, and a loving family, of course! Shauna sends “pupdates” at least every other day, sometimes more. We are so happy with the service she and her family provides! Would highly recommend her services!”
“Karen was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our puppy with her! Not to mention that our pup came back even better trained! I would definitely recommend Karen!”
“Glad we met Johangely! Highly recommend. We were provided regular updates and photo's each day, including videos. It soon became clear our pet was in a safe and comfortable place. Regular walks, feeding, and playtime! Our minds were at ease knowing all was ok while we were away. Thank you!”
“Second time my dog stays with Cori and her family and certainly will not be the last! (she’s going back next weekend!) Cori is the best and will truly care for your fur baby.”
“Excellent...We were very uneasy about leaving our fur babies at a business..We looked online for a home sitter, found Chrissy and it was the best decision from start to finish. Very professional, knowledgeable and kind..Can't wait to use her again!!!!!”
“Jessica and her husband were amazing! Left our babies with them for a week while we went to visit family, and they regularly updated us/checked in. Will 100000% use them in the future if the opportunity comes up! 🔝”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Ike spent another great weekend with Lisa. They have developed a great bond. Ike knows Lisa by name and he gets so excited when I tell him we’re going to her house.”
“She was a great sitter very affirmative sent photos kept in contact, transportation issue arises and she was very accommodating and kept him another night i highly recommend Payton as your next dog sitter”
“Leann is wonderful! She watched our Denali almost immediately after we lost our Drew. Denali came home happy and a much more social dog than she had ever been. I think Leann helped her with the loss of her brother. Leann did a great job and exceeded our expectations.”
“Rachelle is an amazing provider! She is compassionate, confident and runs her doggy-business as a skilled professional. Her dog, Buster, is as loving as Rachelle is! Perfect companion for King while being away from home. We enjoyed the daily updates on how King was doing and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. King came home to us healthy and happy. The comfort of her home and massive fenced in yard was a highlight. We’ve already rebooked for our next trip!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I dog sit for my aunt all of the time and I care for my sisters dogs often. She has a full bred German Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd Mix. I am very dependable and will take great care of your pet! I’m not working anywhere at the moment, I am a full time nursing student. I have classes two times a week ( Mondays and Wednesdays) and I have clinical once a week currently. I live in a condominium community; there isn’t a yard per say however there is plenty of space to walk your dog outside in the fresh air!
Elsmere pet parents share their Rover experiences
Patricia truly loves dogs and did a wonderful job watching our two dogs while we were on vacation. It’s so nice to have a good person who lets us know the dogs are well taken care of and helps us to enjoy our vacation knowing they are being loved on and taken care of. Patricia communicated and sent lots of pictures of the dogs every single day! My brother previously used Patricia for his two dogs and is using her again this summer. He’s the one who recommend her to us and I’m glad he did.
I had to find a sitter for my dog and cat at the last minute and PJ said she could take them! She was a life saver! She took such great care of my babies and even clipped my dogs nails! She went above and beyond to make my babies feel at home and loved! Thanks again, PJ! You are the best !
Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!
I had an amazing experience with them both. We were in town from NC for a wedding so not as familiar with area but i’m so happy I found this wonderful couple ahead of time. They took such great care of my english bulldog and were incredibly kind and always so attentive. My dog was on medication and can be a bit stubborn about it, but they made sure she got everything she needed without any issues. They communicated so well the entire time. They sent me lots of pictures and videos, which really helped my anxiety while I was away. I never felt like I had to constantly check my phone during the wedding reception because I genuinely felt like my dog was in the best caring hands. You can tell they really love animals and take their job seriously. They asked all the right questions and were so understanding and just overall the kindest people. My dog looked so happy and relaxed with them. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their pet.
Our anxious doodle did wonderfully on a long stay with Ruth. She went above and beyond making sure our pup was comfortable and cared for, and was great on giving us updates. We also had the best transition back home we have ever had, so I know our pup truly felt at home with Ruth. Highly recommended, Ruth will be our first choice for future trips!
My dogs are very particular with people and usually take time to get used to new people, but when I tell you, they both immediately took to Dani and her Husband as if they have known them for years! I was so relieved that I could enjoy my week long vacation knowing they were more than happy to be with Dani. Definitely will have Dani sit again!
Destiny did a great job with my kitty Lia, though on the third day it took an unexpected turn (not destiny’s fault in the slightest) my kitty is very skiddish even when I got her and that causes Lia to get into a hard to reach area where it took days for her to come out, thanks to destiny’s dedication and patience my kitty came out the day I was supposed to pick her up. She was well fed and got to socialize with other kitties, and I also got an update every morning and evening which was very nice, thank you destiny for such an amazing job with Lia.
