Highly recommended! Kerri and her husband John took such great care of my senior dog and puppy together for a week! The communication was always quick and we were sent updates and pictures regularly. I felt safe knowing my dogs were with people who would care for them as if they were their own!

Gretchen and Marc are the best. They took great care of our dog while we were away. She absolutely loved the space (and the birds) in the back yard. They treated her like she was their own. Thank you!

Amy did a fantastic job! We had a very last minute trip and the day of she accepted our puppy. She took sooo many pictures and videos. She did exactly what we asked at night time because our pup gave separation anxiety. Our pup seemed SO happy but also worn out from play with their dogs (who seem so sweet). We will definitely be hiring her again for future boarding.

I booked with Heather last minute and it was my very first time using the app. Let me just say that Zeus’s stay exceeded my expectations. I received pictures of him playing, relaxing and just being part of the family. It felt so much like a home away from home for him. Needless to say, I will be booking again.

We have an anxious Great Dane that hates when we leave. We left him for a few days with Savannah and it was amazing! She sent tons of pictures of him playing in the backyard with other dogs and when he slept comfortably in a dog bed at night. She really eased any worry I had. We will definitely be using her from now on when we have to go out of town. Thanks Savannah! You’re amazing!

Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of my Chorkie puppy Max! She was in constant communication and sent the cutest pics of Max each day. He looked to be having fun and feeling at home which was great as it was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I know that she could’ve handled any issues that came up, will definitely call her again next time I need a dog sitter!

Ryan and his family are lovely people and took excellent care of my dog. They have a young Aussie who was also sweet and my dog came back to me very relaxed and happy (and very tired after all the fun!). Ryan offered to bathe my dog after he got dirty on a hike, which was very thoughtful. He sent frequent photos and kept me in the loop with everything, which put me at ease after having a poor experience with a previous Rover dog sitter. I couldn’t recommend this family enough! Thank you Ryan and family!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kathryn while we were away for a week! Leaving Zeus for the first time was honestly nerve-wracking, especially with his medical needs, but she completely put our minds at ease. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and understanding, making sure he got all the care and attention he needed. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, comfortable, and in great hands the entire time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we’ll absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] highly enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind throughout the entire stay. She treated my pup like her own, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. One thing I especially appreciated was the daily updates. She sent messages and pictures every day, letting me know how my dog was doing and sharing little moments from their time together. It made being away so much easier and reassured me that my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time. I am so grateful for the excellent care and communication, and I would absolutely trust her to watch my dog again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️

She is very responsive and flexible with scheduling. I would definitely recommend Virginia and will use her again when we are in the area. Thank you Virginia!

About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.

Stephanie is truly amazing! She’s easily my favorite sitter on Rover. My dogs absolutely love her, and that alone says everything. She’s the sweetest and always keeps us updated with pictures and messages, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats my dogs like her own. I would book her a thousand times over without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive—Stephanie is the one!

This was a really good experience. My Nova had never gone to a dog sitter before so we were a little nervous. Helena was amazing! She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. We were running behind schedule on our way back and she was accommodating. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Helenia, we really appreciated you and all you did!
