“Fantastic time for my pup! We learned she loves cats and now has a new best friend! My dog was having fun being chased around the house by a cat. Catherine was super flexible and very attentive to Cami as well as her whole family.”
“Second time Temisha watched brandy for daycare.. excellent sitter and brandy had a wonderful time.. always keeps me updated with plenty of cute photos and I would highly recommend Temisha”
“Joanna and John have been amazing with Peanut. I’ve been to many sitters around the area, in and out of rover, and I’ve never had a better experience than here. They are extremely friendly, super flexible, and will make sure your dog gets all the attention they need. They are very detail oriented to make sure my dog got the best experience and ensured that he will be very comfortable during his stay. Joanna kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and a breakdown of how he’s doing so far. She’s is also attentive and very responsive if I ever had any questions about how things were going. Another plus is that they have a very big yard for peanut to run around in. Joanna will take him outside multiple times a day to run around and makes sure he gets a lot of exercise. She makes sure to create a safe environment for all the dogs to play together as well. The house and yard are kept extremely clean everyday for the dogs, so I know I can feel comfortable every time I bring him over for daycare or to stay the night. All in all, I’m super happy I found them, Peanut has been having a blast. I will definitely be booking more stays with them in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend!”

She accepted our Rover request within minutes, was super communicative and flexible with our schedule, and provided updates and pics of our pup throughout the day!

About: My husband and I have both had dogs our entire lives. I have been dog sitting for over 15 years. Our dog, Miles, loves other dogs and welcomes the company. We also have two kids, 7 and 5, who look forward to playing with your dog. We have a townhouse with a small fenced in yard. I work from home and take Miles for walks every 3 hours. We live close to a park and enjoy walking the trails. I work from home so your pup will spend almost no time alone. We do walks about every three hours and can go out in the back yard more frequently if needed. Dogs are welcome on furniture and beds here. Whatever makes their stay more comfortable. They will receive plenty of attention from everyone in our household.
“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”
“JR was fantastic! He sent multiple videos throughout the day as well as detailed updates. I was very impressed with his ability to watch Rumi and six other dogs. All seemed to be well behaved and getting along great. Rumi did so well and was so excited to be there. I will definitely take him back when in need.”
“This was my first time using Rover.com for dog care services. Rachel did an amazing job watching our two senior dogs for 5 hours. She asked all the necessary questions to prepare for the appointment. We met her dog Stella before entering the "pack".

“This was Remy’s second home! Plenty of yard for him to run around in and to be chased by the puppies, pool time during the hot weeks, and as many walks as his heart desires. By the time we were home for the night, he would be exhausted.”
“Benjamin took great care of my dog! He was very responsive and will definitely use Benjamin for future stays.”
“Awesome care of my fur baby!!! Dee is very accommodating and communicative. He provided me with updates along with pics/video, which confirmed what a great time my dog had there. Dee’s dog Miso is super sweet and played really well with my dog. Will definitely be booking again!!”

About: I've owned dogs most of my life!. From newborns to seniors with different needs. I love their unique, resilient, playful and grateful personalities. Through the years I've helped mommas during labor, cared for newborn puppies (2 with cleft palate), cared for my sweet girl during her last weeks with cancer, I've cared for a wonderful blind dog over the years (I still do! He is a Poodle❤️), I've rescued a stray dog without knowing she was pregnant and took care of her and then made sure her puppies went to good homes. Having their company is like chocolate to my soul! Then unfortunately my son developed a dog allergy when he was little :( so we couldn't have a dog but lately he is been getting better allowing him to be around "hypoallergenic" dogs. This why we would love to care for your hypoallergenic doggies. I am a stay at home mom who enjoys the company of dogs specially when my kid and teen are in school. I'm ready to spoil them and go for walks or running with them. Our townhouse has a high fenced patio. The neighborhood has a dog park if that's what they like. Our area is quiet and safe to walk around. Starbucks is close by in case they are allowed a puppuccino ;)

I always have peace of mind leaving my dog with Miranda. Biscuit has the time of his life and I get some great pictures :) special thanks for giving him after a muddy play session!!
JR is a dog whisperer! He is truly attune to their behaviors and needs, and was totally comfortable with our dog Charlie and his idiosyncrasies. He was patient, kind, communicative, and took very good care of our boy. We will definitely use him again!

Bridgeth took Nalu in last minute on my part, and I’m so grateful that she was patient with her and updated me throughout the visit! Definitely recommend booking with her 🙂

I just want to say Virginia (Joyce) and Pete were truly amazing and godsend. I had a sitter but she fell through twice which left me in a predicament and since I had to be at work. But finding them is amazing and I don’t have to worry about him. It’s like sending your kid off to daycare or school for the and I was extremely nervous however they have made this experience amazing and I will definitely highly recommend them.
Kevin took excellent care of our dog Stockton. He took the time to do a proper meet and greet beforehand, provided plenty of updates and pictures of Stockton and took him on walks. Kevin was also punctual and asked any clarifying questions. His dog Bailey is very well behaved and Stockton seemed to get along with her too. Would recommend Kevin and plan on using his services again.
