“Daysha was amazing! The first time she met our dog(who barks a lot) he fell in love with her! Her energy was very calming and positive with no show of fear. She communicated with us while we were on vacation if there was anything that was happening around the house. I would hire Daysha again, she is definitely someone who can be trusted.”
“I had never used Rover and I can’t say enough about how great Mark is! My father died last year and his last words were to take care of his dog. “Blue” refused to eat and walk and I was so worried. Knowing the story Mark performed a miracle basically by connecting with her through kindness and cuddling and true caring. He got down on the ground and speaks to her and she squeals when he comes to the door. My mom is unable to walk her so it makes her day to see Blue so happy again. It’s been a year now and he’s been reliable, responsible and great in every way! Mark is THE BEST 💙”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and adopted my own dog at 10 years old. I’ve cared for puppies and seniors and love all of them. **I am a full-time student now, so I have limited availability. Mondays - Thursdays I am available starting at 4pm until 8pm. On holidays, Fridays, and the weekends I have open availability :) There are two dogs in my home who enjoy roaming the backyard and are always going in and out of the doggy door. While my dogs do not go in crates, I can put your dog in their crate if you wish.

“Justina is fantastic! I have three rescues, medium sized, who are strong willed. Justina was able to make a quick connection with all three, overcoming anxiety and caution is my spoiled dogs. She easily handled them on an hour long walk, understanding their preferences and patterns and managing their behavior. I think she has a gift in connecting with animals, and I feel fortunate to have found her. She is also good with overindulgent dogs parents.”

Tatianna L.
“Tatianna and I met almost 5 years ago while traveling Mexico. She was offering wellness services near my home and I'd regularly come to her for counseling and wellness service. During that time I made an emergency trip to the states and asked her to watch my home and two dogs for 3 weeks. I'd offered to pay and she refused. When I returned she organized and the house was so fresh. I insisted on giving her more than I originally planned. Since that time she is my first choice for sitting in both my home in Mexico and in the US. I'd recommend Tatianna 100% everytime, not just for home or pet sitting but for her wellness services. She has such a unique ability to calm the soul. 10/10”

Antonia A.
“Took my dog to the dog park, turns out we have the same breed of dog and they both got along great. She was friendly outgoing and really cared for dogs and animals. I trusted her enough to watch my dog when I'm busy and know my dogs in good hands. She's my dog sitter to this day and definitely recommend her!”
Kimia Y.
“Kimia really loves dogs and feels into their individual needs. Her maternal instinct extends to our furry friends and dogs respond to her in kind, even when she needs to be firm. It is a very lucky dog indeed to be walked and cared for by Kimia!”
Marianna K.
“I can't recommend Marianna enough! She took amazing care of my two pups while I was away. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how tender and caring she is—my pups took to her right away. She followed all of my directions perfectly, including their feeding schedule, and even went above and beyond by giving them long, fulfilling walks each day. Most importantly, she showered them with so much love and affection, which really gave me peace of mind while I was gone. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I’m so grateful. Thank you again!”

Fernwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am so grateful to have Eric in my life and that of Andi, my pup! He's kind, present, and thoughtful, giving Andi all she needed in their time together. Andi is sensitive and very scared of new people. Eric has a deep history with dogs and a sound understanding of them. She settled in with him and was so happy when I got her. He's one of the best animal communicators I've encountered—and incredibly thoughtful, creative, trustworthy. Cannot recommend his enough. Thanks, Eric!
