“Courtney and family were awesome watching Carly! She looked like she was having a ton of fun when updates were sent and she came home happy and so clean! Can’t thank you enough for everything. Carly will be back!”

“This was the first time we ever used a sitter on Rover and we will definitely be using Michelle again in the future. She made us feel so much better about leaving our pet with a stranger with the constant updates and photos. She’s responsible and loving and treated our Winnie like her own. Highly recommend!!! Michelle we can’t thank you enough!!!”

“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”

“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”

“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”

“Mindy was amazing with my fur baby! She was able to accommodate me very last minute and kept me updated with cute pictures and videos the whole time. My dog can be rather anxious with new people and he settled in super fast with Mindy- 20/10 recommend her for your pet needs!”

“Jenn & Brian did an amazing job with our puppy! She loved playing with their 3 dogs in their backyard and going on walks with them. They took great care of our puppy!”

“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”

“Alexis is extremely responsive and reliable. I’ve had to board my dog for several days at a time and every time have come home to a very happy and well exercised puppy. 😊”

“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”

“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”

“beverly. you are the best sitter ever! our Lilly just loves you and ur husband too. it’s been such a comfort and blessing to have her available to us for vacations or whatever. i’m so grateful for her!”

“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”

“Kash always has a great time staying with Annalisa. Annalisa is understanding, patient and attentive. She accommodates Kash’s food diet and even gave the bowls I used back to me lol That’s a first. Nonetheless, we will continue to use her services for in home boarding whether I’m traveling out of state or the country or just need a few days to myself! 100% recommend her.”

“Melissa was very professional and communicated well! Took great care of my Dash and he was comfortable in her care. Thank you Melissa, Dash and I are very thankful for you and look forward to booking with you in the future.”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Amanda. Our shy and anxious Dachshund had little experience being left with an unfamiliar person. Amanda’s calm and gentle demeanor was a great match for our dog. She was patient in allowing Luna time to warm up to her, which she eventually did. We highly recommend Amanda and will not hesitate to leave Luna in her care in the future!”

“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was fantastic with Charlie! She was very communicative, quick to respond, and sent regular updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was also very kind and easy to work with. I could tell when I picked Charlie up that he was comfortable, happy, and had a great time with Amanda!

Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.

Cecilia & Amy and the kids were fantastic. As a husky owner it’s never easy to just leave your dog with just anyone. Huskies need to be understand. They tell you exactly what they need and want if you listen. As soon as I touched base I knew this was the perfect place for my Shia for 10 days. All of her favorite things: other husky friends and kids. I received frequent updates and she had a blast. I almost thought she wouldn’t want to come home. Highly recommend. I didn’t worry for a moment whether she’d escape or anything. All the right intake questions were asked. We will be repeat customers.
