“What an amazing family! Our 1 year old doggie spent 10 days with Ashley while we were on vacation !Piper was so well cared for….. just like ishe was their own doggie! We just picked her up and she was so happy! We highly recommend Ashley to care for your doggie!”
“Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.”
“Corrine was great , she sent pictures every day of My dog . He always seemed happy with the other dogs she had there. Was an easy process and we will definitely use her again when we go to the shore !! First time we ever used Rover ! Thank you Corrine for taking great care of our pup !”
“Joanne did an amazing job ? caring for my Roxy. I felt 100% comfortable from the onset. She was very communicative, accommodating and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog. I would hire Joanne again in a heart beat. This stay included at home boarding.”
“I can’t talk more highly about Cindy, Franklin‘s sitter. She treated my Franklin like it was her own dog. I highly recommend her and you will have no worries. She sends updates and pictures.”
“Danielle came through last minute to care for our dog when our other options fell through. She was extremely responsive via messages and made booking a breeze. She provided updates with pictures during the stay. I would 100% book with Danielle again in the future.”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“My Leah is a wonderful dog but can become sad when we leave her. Joanna was amazing!!! She was very interactive with Leah the whole time she cared for her. Took her out on walks and played with her in her back yard. She also kept me updated the whole time. Sent pictures and updates. She really cared for Leah. I would give her more stars if I could. My best experience with a Rover sitter.”
“Nena was so “at home” and relaxed with Thomas. He is obviously a dog lover and he pampered our girl. We trust him to leave our Nena in his hands and will definitely be regular clients.”
“Kristen was amazing with our Pup! First time ever leaving him in anyone else’s hands and she gave us such a peace of mind! Very communicative and we appreciated all her daily updates :)”
“I hesitate to brag on Kristen so much because I want to keep her all to ourselves!!!!! She is AMAZING!!!! Kristen will treat your pet like they were her own. She’s extremely communicative, so kind, and really gave us such incredible peace of mind while we were away. Kristen, we thank you immensely for being so fantastic to Nellie!”
“Avigail was great with our dogs and they loved staying with her! She sent us pics throughout the day and kept us posted about everything. They came back home so tired from all the playing 😂 Definitely recommend her :)”
“We had a wonderful initial meet and greet with Carol. Our dog doesn't take to everyone but immediately took to Carol. We dropped our dog off feeling very good about Carol. While we were away Carol sent pictures of our dog relaxing on the couch looking very happy and healthy. When we returned our dog was obviously happy to see us. Carol said the two of them had a nice time together. I would definitely recommend Carol and we will use her again in the future when needed.”

“This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!”
“Paola was a great pet sitter. My dog looked so happy from all pictures Paolo sent me during her stay. Paola and her husband took Ellie to parks every day since weather was great and took her out when they went to the market. Many thanks to Paola and her husband!”

I can't say enough how wonderful it is to be able to spend time away knowing that Melissa will be looking after our Misty. Misty loves her and is ways so excited to see her, and she is very responsive to our communications. We couldn't be more grateful to have the peace of mind we do when Misty is in Melissa's hands!
Anne was fabulous with our senior dog Nelson! She was so kind and warm. He absolutely had a fabulous time with her, her grandkids and her lovely backyard. She did such a great job taking care of him and giving him all his heart meds on his crazy schedule. We will absolutely be back! Thanks so much Anne 😊
