“Jennifer has watched my pets a handful of times now & every visit is awesome. This time she stayed with my animals for 8 days and I came home to extremely happy babies. I even have a chihuahua who suffers with anxiety and typically doesn’t come out of my bedroom, but she even slept with Jen & barked when Jen wasn’t in sight. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU JEN ❤️”

“Nicole was great with my dogs. She stayed with them for a weekend. When I returned, they were calm and happy. She checked in with updates and photos while I was away and took them on many walks. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve consistently taken care of dogs for the past four years. I have two pups of my own, both male pugs, that I love very much and will take care of your pups with the same amount of love and care. My goal is to communicate with you so that your dog, no matter the age or energy level, has the best time while their owner is away! I am a student and in the summer work part-time, so any Rover job can be tailored to my schedule as needed! I work for small chunks at a time in the afternoons, so I can see your pup before and after (if needed). Let’s work something out together! I love my own little pugs very much and understand the love that dog parents have for their pups. Communication is extremely important to me so I can prepare for your dog before hand and can communicate back to you how they are doing!
“Day was amazing. It was the first time I had someone come in for my 8 pound Chihuahua and I paid her for overnight for a week and she was phenomenal. My dog was so happy I would highly recommend her.!!!!!”

“Lauren was AMAZING! She took great care of my fur babies sending me photos and updates throughout her stay at my home. Came home to a clean house and a sweet gift too!! Thank you Lauren!”

I’m available Monday through Sunday and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of love, belly rubs, and walks. I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in every environment.

“Charity and her husband, Jeff, took great care of our dog! Our dog is suffering from a progressive disease that has affected his hind legs. He is only able to stand with the use of his dog wheels. He also requires oral medication twice a day. I had contacted Charity last minute after an unsuccessful overnight stay at a kennel. At our meet and greet, I could tell she was a person that loves dogs, and George took to her instantly! When we returned home George was happy and not stressed at all. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my fur baby!”

“We are incredibly happy with Willow. She took such excellent care of Bella and sent us photos and messages every day. I would definitely request Willow again and highly recommend her to others. She is intelligent and friendly and great with our Bella!”

“Megan was great. Very easy to work with, excellent communication, and our Bonnie was very happy to host. We would definitely have her house sit again in the future. Thanks again for the short notice too!”


“Carrie was an absolute gift to our home and dogs! Two very spoiled doodles with one that is a rescue from an abusive home who is very fearful and anxious around strangers. She handled them both beautifully. She sent us photos and updated frequently to relieve our worry. Hopefully Carrie will always be available to assist with our future house and dog needs. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“First time using this app and using a dog sitter I didn't know. I felt very at ease knowing Katelyn was here to take care of Montana for 8 days. We came back to a clean house and a VERY happy dog!”
“Cara was very prompt to respond to our inquiry about taking care of our Shih Tzu. She was sweet and kind and stayed in touch with us the whole time. She is such a sweet girl. We would highly recommend her to anyone. It’s hard leaving your 11 year-old child at home but we didn’t worry about him one minute. She stayed in contact with us the whole time. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than it was before she got there. We felt very trusting of her Thank you sweet Cara. Harlee Ray had so much fun with your visit. He hopes that she’ll come back soon to stay with him. He told us he was not bad that he was a good boy. Thank you again for taking care of our precious Precious Angel. So this is a review for her.”

About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.
“Susanna is the absolute best!!! She is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and loving human. There was an instant connection with her and I. And her and our pets. I felt safe and comfortable with her and my pets in a way I have never had. She gave updates. And I felt like i was talking with my friend. I never had to worry once with our precious cargo. I knew they were well loved, and well taken care of. She’s just the most magical human. Bringing a sense of calm to our entire household. ❤️”

“Mallory is wonderful with the cats. Showers them with pets and love. They miss her. She also is very meticulous abt updates and pix to me and very OCD abt the cleanliness of the home.”

“Zane is an exceptional person. He treated my very old dog with dignity. And my cat appreciates the mega treats Zane gave him. 😏 Anyone who who needs a conscientious person to look after their animals Zane is their man”

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! From the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving them in her care. She was attentive, caring, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Nicole kept us updated, gave our dogs lots of attention, and treated them like her own. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and Nicole exceeded all expectations. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole, she truly goes above and beyond!

Lauren did a great job for our two large goldendoodles, Addy (8 months) and Mae (6 years)! She stopped by a few days beforehand so that I could meet with her and she could meet the pups. Lauren took such great care of the girls and kept in close contact with me the entire time. I would definitely recommend Lauren!
