Very flexible and understanding. I had a significant flight delay and couldn't pick up as planned and she allowed me to pick up the next AM with no issue. Prompt communications!

Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!

This was our 2nd time leaving our now 14.5 year old dog with Gretchen and John, and once again, they were great! Sent updates multiple times a day which was reassuring for this nervous dog mom and followed by overkill of directions perfectly : ) will definitely continue to use them!

We have two large dogs that are still young and full of energy, but Beth & Evan handled them with ease. They sent us regular update and photos as we took our first family vacation away from our dogs. They were kind and friendly at drop-off and pickup. Highly recommend.

Brenna was super confident about taking care of my slow to warm up dog and I felt very reassured that he would be in good hands. She was patient with him and helped him eat which he can be hesitant to do, and send lots of pictures of him lounging at her house. He was very relaxed when I picked him up! Would definitely book again and I recommend Brenna for anxious dogs.

Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Roxie! She was very upfront in warning us that her dog, Elliot, can come on a little strong at first (which he definitely did lol) but he and Roxie became best friends almost immediately after. Emily sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and having fun. It was obvious from every update how much Roxie loved her. We would absolutely trust Emily with Roxie again and highly recommend her!

We feel very lucky to have found Cassandra and Eric through the Rover to board our puppy while we were out of town. They were very flexible and accommodating to our requests, kind, loving, patient and attentive, and their entire family did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. The communication was great, we received updates every day with a lot of pictures and videos, and our puppy always looked very happy, playful and comfortable at their home. We are very grateful! Highly recommend!

Piper seemed to have a great time with Joey. I got pictures regularly along with updates on what they were up to. My only complaint is that she forgot to pack up Piper’s bowl. I messaged stating that we needed to figure out a time to get it back and I got no response. ☹️ I don’t think that I should need to chase her down to get it back.

We left our dog with Brittney for a full week while we were on vacation. It was our first experience with Rover and we were beyond pleased with our experience and the care Pippa received! We will absolutely be choosing Brittney again for future dog sitting needs we have.

About: If you’re looking for someone dependable to drop in on your pup or take them out for some fresh air and exercise, I am here to help! Working from home gives me the unique ability to step away and dedicate my full attention to walking, check-in services, and boarding for your furry family members. Dogs have been the center of my family's world since we got our first puppy 25 years ago. After our beloved 14-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback passed away in January 2026, we realized just how much we missed the routine of caring for a dog. I love interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Through fostering numerous puppies, I have mastered the art of leash training and high-energy play. Furthermore, because our own dog was deaf and lived to a ripe old age, we are uniquely equipped to provide gentle, specialized care for elderly or disabled dogs during drop-ins, walks, and some boarding. I promise to bring peace of mind with plenty of updates and love! Working from home full-time Monday through Friday gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week. Because my desk is just a few steps away, I am able to seamlessly structure my day around your dog's needs—taking regular, dedicated breaks to provide refreshing neighborhood walks, interactive playtime, and frequent outdoor potty rests. Your pup will enjoy consistent companionship and routine care without me ever having to leave the house for an office commute. I live in a rambler with a walk-out basement and a large yard. We live near a couple of parks, and I love taking the dogs for walks.

About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!

Jeremiah (and fam) were an awesome match for our Luna girl. After the meet and greet went well we knew their dog Shadow and Luna would play well. Jeremiah communicated when needed and accommodated Luna’s needs (medication, quirks, etc). 10/10 would recommend Jeremiah for dog sitting again!
