Sarah was so amazing with our puppy! She snuggled, played, and took such great care of our sweet girl! She also is a very kind person and was super easy to get in contact with! I really appreciated all of photos and videos she sent me! If we ever need to have a sitter again, I will be asking Sarah!

Amazing! Absolutely love Amber. We’re so grateful to have been able to go out of town and not worry. She took great care of our pups and our home. We’re looking forward to booking her again in the near future.

When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!

Ryan did such a great job watching our two pups. He was great about giving us daily updates with pictures to let us know how things were going. He was very patient with our more shy/stubborn pup as well which was very appreciated. We could tell our dogs were well cared for, and we are already planning to rebook with him!

McKenzie does an AMAZING job with caring for pets!! She has cared for my two cats, Stella and Winston, many times, and they both love her so much!! She has also watched my parents' two dogs (French Brittany Spaniels), KoKo and Kirby, and she did a wonderful job! They are very high-energy pups, and she went out of her way to make sure they got plenty of exercise and love!!! She communicates well and is so kind!! I never have to worry about my fur babies if McKenzie is caring for them! I would HIGHLY recommend her as a rover!! :)

Xanadu is the literal BEST! 10/10 would recommend. She stayed at our place while we flew out for a weekend wedding trip and was extremely flexible when things went awry as hurricane Ian approached. Our trip was canceled and then back on and she came in clutch. Lots of pics and pets for our pup and floof, our minds and hearts were at ease knowing she was here.

As someone who unexpectedly had to leave for an out-of-state funeral, we truly can’t thank Bri enough for the amazing treatment of my of my dogs & bunnies! She not only operated flawlessly in an ambiguous environment, but the energy couldn’t have been more settling/pure when I returned home. She truly over-communicates every step of the way! Thank you & God bless you, Bri! Pardon the delay! Love, Rene, Sam, Oliver, Boaz & Noah-Thumps - muah!

Emilie has been the best sitter I've ever had. The visits were timely, reliable, and complete with many pictures of my pets having a wonderful time with her. I truly could not find a bad thing to say if I tried. Her communication and flexibility was outstanding throughout the entire process, even as a first-time Rover user. I will absolutely be booking with Emilie again in the future.

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work part time and go to school as well, on my off days I lie to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

Kara is absolutely amazing! She is so caring and shows our little one so much love and affection in our absence. It is incredibly comforting allowing us to vacation without worry knowing that our dog is in such great care. Kara’s communication and pictures she sends us of our dog let us see for ourselves how much fun they are having together. We can’t thank Kara enough and definitely very highly recommend her if you are in need of a truly wonderful pet sitter.

Paola was excellent with our senior JRT (14 yo) who takes medication and is severely anxious. She provided continual care, excercise and cuddles to him. It also gave us peace of mind that she is a professional in the veterinary medicine field, that if something were to happen she'd take the appropriate steps to care for our furbaby. He really enjoyed his stay with her. Absolutely wonderful service, if you need to know your pet is in the best hands then Paola is your gal.
