“Our pup Amidala had the best time with Marissa! With plenty of walks, play time, and pictures of her having fun, we knew Ami really enjoyed her stay. Communication and everything else was so great, we would have enjoyed more daycare days if we were staying in the area! Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.

“Litzy was very good! This was the first time my yorkie stayed away from family and I was nervous how he would react. Litzy was attentive and gave plenty of updates and pictures! Relieved to have someone I can trust with my buddy!”

“So grateful for the wonderful care Lesslie provided for my two doggies. Everyday I received adorable pics and videos that put my mind at ease. Highly recommend Lesslie’s services to any pet parent!”


“Camille and Joe are wonderful. They are sweet people who are conscientious of both humans and animals. The updates I receive are relevant and spunky, they are flexible to work with, their home is tidy and spacious, and the way my dog runs in and makes himself at home every time we drop him off shows me how comfortable they make him feel as a guest. Thank you, Joe and Camille!”

“Our dogs had the best time! Karen and her daughter were phenomenal sitters. Our dogs had all the amenities! We were worried the dogs wouldn’t want to come home because they looked like they had so much fun. We’re excited for our dogs to go back!”

“3rd time that Liliia took care of Louis and she did a wonderful job as always. She frequently provided updates to let us know how he was doing. We’ll definitely be retuning customers.”
“Courteous, competent, really helped in a pickle with our challenging puppy. Words can't express how much I appreciate his care for dog. He sent us pictures of how happy she was while we were gone and she very clearly missed him when she got back home. I would definitely ask him to host her again in the future if needed.”


“I was so pleased with how well Jonelle took care of my Mello. She can be a little shy at first so I was glad to see her warm up and appreciated the pics and videos of my dog having a wonderful time! Highly recommend!”


“Chelsea did a great job with Bleu! He had so much fun with her & Winston! Received lots of snuggles & playtime! She sent lots of pictures & communicated the whole time! Will be booking again!”

“Frankie is a rescued breeder dog and has some head noise from his previous life, especially when it comes to cages and restraints. He also has separation anxiety when he spends time away from his new family. But every now and then we all need a vacation - right? Soooo happy to have found Suzanne, she was perfect to watch Frankie while we were away. Gentle, kind and patient, I could tell she really cared. She regularly sent pictures and corresponded. Couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience!”


“Carey really enjoyed staying with Pamela and her dog over the weekend. She literally ran straight to Pamela when I dropped her off. I also see my dog is very happy and taken well care of through the pics that Pamela shares. I will be using her again in the future!”

“Camilo was great! Had a rough first night with Wren between the rain and a new place. He was willing to still watch her for the weekend and even found ways to keep her attention occupied. Flexible with drop off/pick up times and had great communication. I would definitely recommend.”

“I can't say enough good things about the care Teddy & Bear received. Teddy & Bear can be a handful, but Mariana handled them with so much patience and love — they came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely great with the boys. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book again — highly, highly recommend.”


“Barbara is a great dog sitter! Kaiser had a wonderful time with her. She was always in touch, kept us updated, and made us feel very comfortable while we were away. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
Annette and her husband did a wonderful job with my dog Teddy! I had adopted him just a few weeks before I had to leave for a few days, so I was worried about him being anxious while I was away. But they took great care of him and sent adorable photo updates every day! He also enjoyed playing in their backyard.

Malchom provided great care of my girl while we were away for 2 weeks. They treated her like a member of the family and I know she loved being with them! Thru sent daily updates and photos, much appreciated, and she came home happy and worn out- the perfect combo! Will certainly book with them again!

Harlem had the best time with Haley and Skipper. He got to play in the yard, go to the dog park, and he got lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I received numerous photos and videos each and every day, and it let me enjoy my trip without worrying one bit about his well being. Haley is the absolute best person to care for any dog.
