Ashleigh and Bill we’re absolutely fantastic! I originally selected them because they are comfortable watching large dogs and okay with dogs on the furniture and bed, this seemed like the perfect fit for how we wanted our lab to be taken care of since this is exactly what he is used to at home. This was my fist time using Rover to take my dog to someone else’s house. Ashleigh and Bill were great with the meet and greet prior to the stay, which made drop off a breeze. We received daily updates with pictures of him playing with their dog and relaxing on the couch. We would definitely recommend them and use them for our pup in the future!

Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko

Bella was well taken care of and loved. I was kept up to date on how Bella was doing and received pictures daily. Bella adjusted well and seemed to have enjoyed herself. She felt at home with Carol and Jessie! Will definitely use again. Thank you Carol and Jessie for loving on Bella while I was out of town and giving me a peace of mind knowing she was well taken care of! 😊

Amber and Michael took great care of my dogs while I was away! They were very attentive to each of my dogs individual needs. I was at ease, knowing my fogs were in good hands! My little dog loved the walks!! I plan on using them again, in the near future!

Always a great choice! I know my pup is in great hands with Karen, Noir gets so excited to see her. The dogs stay active and entertained all day and even get to take a dip in the pool! So fun; a true Doggy Oasis.

I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.

Katherine did an amazing job taking care of our two French bulldog boys for a week. Im a worrier and one of those crazy frenchie moms and she made it possible for me to rest and relax for a week knowing that they were well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and videos and they had the best week. If you are nervous about using Rover, choose Katherine. She will love your fur babies!

Amber was so easy to work with. I requested an appointment the day before I needed to have my dog watched for the weekend and she very kindly accepted. I ended up cancelling because my last minute trip also got cancelled, but Amber was very understanding. I will definitely keep her in mind for future dog sitting opportunities.

Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!

About: For the past eight years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience in fostering dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility where I learned about dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from timid to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring so much love and joy into my life every day. I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton, and I'm switching careers from early childhood education to dog training. I'm currently taking online courses and getting hands-on experience at the local animal shelter. My schedule is flexible, and I'm excited to spend my days surrounded by the happiness of wet noses, tail wags and purrs I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them to give your fur friend peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your guidance and make sure the little paws has everything he/she needs

Sierra watched our puppy that decided he wasn't going to like his crate. He destroyed a bed and started chewing the crate. She reached out and expressed her concerns for his safety and found the perfect solution for him!

They took great care of our pup. The communications were fantastic. We got daily updates. Due to a major flight delay we would have been very late picking our dog up. Mahamat was very helpful both offering to figure a way to extend the booking or getting our dog ready early so our son could pick him up and take him to our house. I would 100% use them again and recommend them.

Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!
