“Rebecca was exceptional!! She kept us updated with consistent updates/photos. I could tell my boys were well taken care of. She was really flexible and accommodating of our needs. She gave our boys lots of love and snuggles. Rebecca is extremely reliable. It was very comforting knowing the dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Thank you so much Diego for taking care of the girls. Without your help, I would not have been able to take the very important trip. Gertie and Gretchen will definitely miss having you here with them!”
“Alayza was great! My husband and I had to leave town quickly for a funeral and Alayza came over the same day I put in my request to Rover so we could meet each other. I have a 16 yr. old Border Collie with kidney disease and a complicated diet and a need for two good walks a day. Alayza was willing to take our request and stayed at our house for some nights. When we returned after 5 days, the house was spick and span but more importantly, we have never seen our dog in such good spirits on a return from a trip!! We are so grateful for Alayza and plan to use her again in the future.”
“Dee did a fantastic job house sitting with our cat and dog! She left the house better than when she came and sent lots of pictures. Our pets were clearly well taken care of.”
“Tanaysia was so good with my shy boy Gumbo! She recognized his anxiety and checked in with me and we had a plan of action. He warmed up to her so quickly too, which made me feel a at ease! She was communicative and asked questions when needed. Will def have her back again when I need someone!”

About: I have had at least 1 dog and/or 1 cat at any given time during my life. I currently have 2 cats who are friendly with other animals and frequently sit my brothers dogs—one is a high-energy large puppy and the other is 15 years old. I am highly attentive and will provide personalized care so that your pet feels loved while you are away. I have experience in giving medications (orally and via syringe with and without needles) to both dogs and cats. 1 of my cats has been diabetic for a year so I’m experienced in administering insulin, monitoring blood glucose levels, etc. and also had to tube feed my cat for a month. I work from home during daytime hours so my schedule is fairly flexible. Afternoons/evenings are the most flexible but I can do daytime bookings with advance notice. I will always come and meet you and your pet in your home prior to confirming bookings so that you are comfortable with the match. If providing care in my home, I have a large fenced yard that is loved by my dog friends!
“Just days before our booking we found out that we would need to make a change to one of our dogs food and slowly start adding a kidney care food with his usual food. Of course this can be difficult for the dog as they adjust. On top of that the Vet prescribed an antibiotic to be taken twice a day for 14 days. We communicated the updates/changes to Steve and he said it would not be a problem. He sent daily updates and photos to show our dog was eating and taking his medicine which was such a relief. We really appreciate Steve and feel we are lucky to book him when we can. His willingness to adapt to these last minute changes really shows how much he cares for his furry clients.”
“It was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous but Denai was excellent with Robin. She kept us posted daily about her stay in our home and her outings with Robin. She communicated with us about her schedule, to make sure Robin was getting what she needed. She took excellent care of our girl. I definitely look forward to working with Denai again.”
“Randy is a superhero. I had to leave out of town with a laundry list of needs for my furbaby. She recently was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, reactive, and has separation anxiety. Randy not only ensured her proper medical care with insulin injections, cared for her, and kept her company… he allowed me PEACE OF MIND. Randy kept me updated every day through the day with pictures and videos. I’m so grateful. By far the best pup sitting experience.”
“Krista did an excellent job with taking care of Jackson. She provided plenty of photos to assure me he was ok. She even brought in a package I forgot was being delivered. The house was kept in great condition. I would recommend her for her services plus I will be definitely going to use her again.”
About: I am an honest, hardworking, trustworthy pet lover I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 and I can't wait to meet yours🤗 Feel free to book me anytime my schedule is OPEN! I am available anytime or day of the week for boarding services all other services not available not Saturday's & Sundays I have a fenced yard, doggy treats,and there is always a place inside for your dog to get comfortable.. I also have 3 sons from age 9-15 that loves pets 😊
About: I've taken care of pups since my daughter brought home our first baby, Cookie. We trained her to give her paw, sit, lay, and to kiss at "kiss" command. It's the cutest thing ever. She has been the Queen of the house ever since and then came along, Cinamon which is Cookie's daughter. They are best friends! Cookie had pups a while ago and we held her paw during birth and cared for her babies until they left us to our family members. Cookie is now considered a Senior but I always find ways to accommodate her needs so she can keep being the queen! We take constant walks around our neighborhood and also hang out in the big backyard. I'm currently not working; therefore, I have plenty of times to board and do drop in visits. I leave out occasionally to do grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and/or church services. I do not have a fenced yard but we do have secured long leashes to the soil which makes them feel like they are freely roaming around. We prefer to crate overnight but if your pup cannot do training for special reasons, we can accommodate. We currently have two small pups, a Yorkie and her daughter. They can be timid at first and will bark until they come down and get over the first couple minutes. We can put our babies away in separate rooms if needed be.
