“Kayce took great care of our little guy. My dog can be very anxious with new people and places, but really enjoys Kayce. She’s incredibly caring and sent updates throughout our trip. Will be using again!”
“We left our doggie with Ari while traveling for two weeks and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after him. Our special boy is a senior Schnoodle that we rescued last year from a breeder situation gone really bad. Ari and her family welcomed him with open arms and treated him like he was one of the family. She sent daily updates and we thought our boy may not want to come home after seeing how much fun he was having in the photos. Also, he made a new best friend with the family dog Apollo. I would recommend Ari to anyone that is looking for a home-away-from home for their fur babies.”
“Amy and Grant are wonderful. They were welcoming and flexible with Ollie’s needs, especially as their own pup was recovering from an injury. They have a nice big yard for play, communicated regularly, and it was obvious they cared to make Ollie’s stay comfortable for him and their family.”
“Kelsey is very flexible and responsive. My dog looked sad to leave! Oddly enough, we are excited to drop our dog off for our next vacation because we knot she'll have a great time. We highly recommend Kelsey!”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“They were incredible with sending lots of pictures and updates! My dog had the best time with them! Will definitely be booking again for future trips!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive person who understands how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m comfortable following specific routines or instructions. I will treat your pet with love, respect, and care—just like family. 🐾💛 I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and worry-free. I work from home running my small business, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. The only times I step out are briefly to drop off and pick up my daughter from school. Because of this, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and walks, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel at home. I always prioritize their comfort and well-being, following any specific routines, feeding schedules, or instructions you provide. I supervise pets closely, keep a clean and secure space, and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and attention as my own. 🐾💛
“I had a great experience with Dylan & Alex B. during my boy Hugo’s boarding stay. They were professional, responsive, and clearly cared about making sure Hugo was comfortable and well taken care of. Communication was consistent throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I appreciated the updates and could tell Hugo was in a safe, welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend Dylan & Alex B. to anyone looking for reliable and attentive dog sitters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“First timer! Jay provided an excellent experience. She sent me photos throughout the entire stay and kept me updated on details; that helped calmed my nerves as a first-timer. You see how much she enjoys what she does. I would recommend Jay to any and everyone.”
“Kendra was GREAT! I am skeptical about leaving my girl but knew Kendra could be trusted when my girl was eager to enter the house during our meet and greet session. During Demie's stay, Kendra sent morning and afternoon check-ins with photos daily. She took GREAT care of my baby! I will be booking my her next stay immediately.”
“They’re always amazing great communicators and they treat Penelope just like she would be if she was their dog. They truly are wonderful family that also our friendly and nice.”
“Abby was super awesome. We did one overnight and our pup was well taken care of and was returned to us happy! She was really flexible on pick up and drop off times which is always helpful. We will definitely be coming back, thanks Abby!”
“Our Ace enjoyed his stay with them. Since it was his first stay, they assured me he would be fine, and he was more than that. We loved the adorable moments caught on camera. Ace will be back!”
“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”
“Lisa was great with Charlie who can get a little anxious when I leave him in new surroundings. She kept me updated as he adjusted and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time!”
“Adam was an EXCELLECT sitter! You can tell he has the patience and passion to engage positively with your dog!!! Great customer service and communication! Would rebook again!”
“I can never say enough about about her wonderful services. My dog is older and has some special abilities that need to be tended to. She has dogs herself that are gentle and playful that supplies my dog with a plenty of playmates. She also never kenneled my dog which was a big worry for me. Time and time again I would never choose anyone else to take care of my sweet boy.”
“Andrea was great! Our dog seemed to feel right at home! Andrea sent pictures and kept us updated. She was so communicative, patient and kind! This was our first time using this service app and she made the experience fantastic!”
Ettrick dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with our dog sitter. He took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated, and made sure everything went smoothly while we were away. It was clear that he genuinely cared and was attentive to our dog’s needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pet was in good hands. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 🐾
This is the first time I have used a sitter for my pups and the experience was amazing because of Courtney and Lilly! I would recommend them to anyone wanting to find a sitter in the area regardless if they have used sitters before or not. They were great overall and even sent updates daily on how they were doing! They will be our go-to anytime we need a sitter moving forward!
Sara and Jakob were great with Kingsley. They seem to really know animals and how to handle them as well. We needed someone who will provide just the right amount of play and rest for Kingsley as he is a Big Energetic puppy. Sara provided pictures and videos daily and let me know Kingsley's schedule everyday at "winter camp" with her own doggies lol. Two days before the end of our boarding period, I asked if they would give Kingsley a bath at extra cost and they happily said yes even though it was kind of last minute and Kingsley is a big dog! Kingsley came back very clean and happy. We felt good during our time away and was able to enjoy our trip knowing that Kingsley was being taken care of. We are definitely going to take Kingsley to Sara again the next time we are away! Thanks guys!
When I say Angel, I mean Angel. I was all the way across the Atlantic when the person I trusted to keep our fur-baby was not able to care for him properly. We were really contemplating returning home. Rover has held me before; but not like this. It was 4:30 a.m. in the morning when I DESPERATELY reached out to several providers. I don't know why but Taijah responded almost immediately. After a few text messages back and forth, she agreed to pick Mylo up from the house and board him. She picked him up by 8 the same morning, and when my flight came in late, she kept him for us. Her calm spirit, her professionalism, and her bond with Mylo, allowed us to enjoy the rest of our stay knowing he was in good hands. She sent photos, kept me updated and it almost made me jealous to see him so comfortable with her after just meeting her. I am SO grateful and so blessed to have found her at such a critical time. She allowed Mylo to snuggle with her and I believe that allowed him to recover. She will forever be my go to. I thank Rover so much for this service...but most of all I thank Taijah for taking such good care of our baby and coming through in a traumatic clutch.
