“Jessie was great. She and Stitch got along very well and she sent us tons of photos. On a one night visit she took stitch hiking, to a dog park and on a run - great for a high energy puppy. We have already scheduled Stitch’s next visit with Jessie.”
“Albina is amazing! 🥰 Her space is peaceful and perfect for dogs, and Midna looked so happy in every update she sent. Communication was easy and clear, and I could tell Midna was in great hands the whole time 💖. I’d definitely book with Albina again—she’s attentive, warm, and clearly loves what she does. Thanks for hosting my baby and being sweet and kind to her! 🥰🫶🏻”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our love bug. Great communication. Great updates on his walks, eating habits, nap times, and play times. We love that he gets socialized with other pups. Drop off and pickup was easy and smooth. Highly recommend. Great sitters.”
“This was such a great boarding experience! My pup is elderly and requires some patience and attention, and they were so kind and thoughtful with her. She got a bit sick on the first day and they let me know right away and were happy to make changes to her routine to work with it. I got consistent updates with pictures and felt totally certain that my dog was well cared for the entire time. Definitely one of the best dogsitters I've used through this site.”
“Jenna took fantastic care of my little epileptic dog while I was gone for a week. It can be nerve wracking to leave him because his medication schedule is complicated, but she was kind and communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing he was having a fabulous time with her. Thank you Jenna!”
“Danielle is so patient with our new pup! He had an accident and she gave him a belly band with no issues at all. They took him to the beach for his one night stay this time. Chili loves Danielle and her fam!”
“Hanna took amazing care of Chief! She helped him meet new people and ensured he got all the love and attention he asked for. Hanna is also a really good communicator. She asked good questions when his behavior seemed off, and sent timely pupdates.”
“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”
“Patrick is very caring and my fur babies were very happy when I picked them up. Patrick notes the needs for both dogs and they came home happy and tired! Also Sofie is a very sweet dog and Mimi loves playing with her!”
“Chris was a wonderful sitter! I felt strongly that he really cared about and enjoyed Scrappy, and I could tell when I picked him up how comfortable Scrappy was with him. He also returned all of Scrappy’s belongings in the bag that I provided, which doesn’t always happen with sitters. Chris has a very relaxed demeanor and was very flexible and accommodating when I needed to adjust the length of our stay. Highly recommend!”
About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“David and his wife were so great to my dog, Pig, during our 4-night trip. There was constant communication throughout and so many picture updates! We loved being able to see her chilling with them ☺️. Pig also had lots of walks during her stay, and was well-taken care of, especially since she has to take meds daily. We will be back! ☺️”
“Nasreddine was great! I had a last minute trip and luckily she was available to watch my Peaches. She sent daily pictures and updates and treated her like she was her own. Peaches came home happy from all the walks and play time with her new friend. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Zay was exceptional. She was kind enough to agree to meet with Bruno before I boarded him with her, and I was immediately surprised by how good she is with dogs. Bruno stayed with Zay and her dog for 6 days and I could tell Bruno was relaxed and enjoying himself. Many of the pics I received were of Bruno asleep or enjoying a snuggle session under the blanket, or him exploring on a walk. I received constant updates and Zay replied to all my texts promptly. I was very nervous as this was the first time ever that I boarded Bruno but Zay made the whole experience reassuring: while I was gone I never felt anxious about him not being comfortable at Zay’s place. I will definitely contact her again if I need help in the future!”

Alexis was wonderful to work with and I’m grateful we were able to leave our pup in great hands! This was our first experience with Rover (though not the first with sitters) and everything was smooth, straightforward, and easy. Alexis was attentive and responsive, and sent photos every day so we could see how our dog was doing. Will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Alexis! 🙏💕🐾
We are grateful for Leonard's care and very engaging messages and updates regarding The Best Boi Champers! We appreciate Leonard's experience with OG dogs, and it was clear that he was comfortable with caring for our special needs dog (needs meds, picky eater, health issues). Very communicative through the entire booking and that helped us feel very secure in our choice to book with him! 10/10, would book again.
Haley did an incredible job with my pup Nyx. From the moment we met I could tell she LOVED dogs. She made me feel comfortable about leaving my girl for a few days. It was my first time using Rover and I would highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a caring/ compassionate dog sitter.
Our pup loves Michelle, She’s great with him. she’s sends us regular updates when she’s watching him. She communicates well and is very flexible when co-ordinating pick up’s and drop offs . I’m so glad we found Michelle, I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to worry less about their pups and only focus on missing them when they drop them off with her :)
Natasha took good care of Kona and gave us a detailed update multiple times with photos for the night we had Kona over at hers. She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!
If you are looking for a pet sitter that will care for your animal as if they are one of your own, look no further. A selfish part of me wants to not leave a review at all so that we can keep this lovely couple all to ourselves and our dog, but that would not be fair. Robert and Brian- thank you truly for taking such incredible care of Athena and all the updates, especially the photo dumps. We (me, my partner, and Athena for sure) appreciate you both so much!
Chester and Lazlo had such a great time visiting Claudio again. I feel so good leaving them with him because he does such a good job keeping them entertained and making sure Chester gets his meds. And i.b fact, when it was time to leave this time, Lazlo didn't want to! 😆
Stephanie is an absolute D R E A M of a boarder. This was my first time leaving my first born son with a stranger and Stephanie really took the time to thoroughly address all of my concerns. Stephanie is patient, caring, thorough, awesome, possum, blossom. How lucky we were to find her. She doesn’t know (until she reads this hehe) that she has provided the best experience for my guy. Stephanie, I appreciate you and your family - thank you immensely. Hands and toes down, will book again!!! You won’t regret it!!!!
