“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“Ellen did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs! She followed all instructions and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“We were super nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger, but Alexandria immediately put us at ease with her amazing reviews and thoughtful profile. From the very beginning, we felt confident our dog was in great hands. She sent multiple updates and pictures every day, which truly meant the world to us. Honestly, after a few days, I was worried our dog wouldn’t even want to come back home! 😄 We would absolutely trust Alexandria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.”

“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”
“Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.”

“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”

“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”


“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”

“Stacey and her family took great care of our pups. She sent photos and gave regular updates of how they were doing. Both dogs were happy and comfortable in their home.”

“Emily is fantastic! My pup is 10 and never been with a sitter before but was happy as can be. I recieved daily updates with pictures, and when I had travel delays or questions, she was fast to respond and say to get ahold of. I will definitely reach out to her in the future if I need a sitter again. ?”

About: Lifelong dog enthusiast and proud paw-rent to two goofy Goldendoodles! With years of experience caring for pups, I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and cozy in-home boarding. I am patient, loving, and dedicated to giving your dog the best care possible. When your dog is with me, they’re family. Let's get those tails wagging! I love dogs and have been taking care of them for more than 8 years. My neighbors enjoy leaving their fur babies with me while they are away. I work part time but mostly home for frequent potty breaks and playing time. Your pet will be taken care of like they are my own. I have a big fenced yard for playing and running around!! Your pet is free around my house unless you have a a preference. My 2 doodles love to snuggle on the couch 😂
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”

“Nevaeh was great with Kiowa! She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent messages about what he was up to during the day, which I really appreciated. It was nice knowing how he was doing and that he was being well cared for. She made sure he was well fed and spent a lot of time playing with him. When I picked him up he was a happy puppy and seemed really comfortable, which says a lot about the care he got while he was there! I would absolutely trust her with Kiowa again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to watch their dog. Thanks, Nevaeh!!”

“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”

“10/10 recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a trustworthy fur baby sitter. Lucy highly enjoyed her time at her house and we enjoyed the daily updates and pictures. I will be bringing her back whenever we have the need for an overnight stay!”

“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”

“Rachel took wonderful care of my dog River over Christmas, lots of updates & photos & very individualized care, River seemed to love hanging out with Rachel’s family & came back very calm and happy!”

“Thank you for taking such amazing care of Olive! The pictures of her were so beautiful and it’s clear she felt right at home with you. She’s already looking forward to her next slumber party!”


“This was our first time having someone that wasn't family watch our furbabies overnight while we were out of town and we were more than happy with the care Karen provided. She loved our two bulldogs, Bella and Ace, like they were her own and kept us updated with pictures during the two days we were away! They obviously had tons of fun there as they were passed out within the first 30 minutes of being back home! We will definitely be using Karen again whenever we need a sitter for them!!”
Far South dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lisa was absolutely amazing taking care of my 12-week-old puppy while I was away on a work trip. As anyone knows, puppies require a lot of time, attention, and energy—but she handled it all with ease and such a positive attitude. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my puppy was in great hands and being very well cared for. I’m so grateful for her attentiveness, reliability, and kindness. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Lisa!
