“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home. Pickup was easy and dogs were happy and safe which is what we love!! Very satisfied with the whole experience. We will definitely recommend Achara to friends and will be using her again!!”
“Our dog Max had a great stay with Danielle for 2 nights; he was reluctant leave when we picked him up which is a great sign. She was quite responsive when we needed to amend our pickup time and we really appreciated how she contacted us for some guidance when she was unsure of what Max was needing to settle him down near bedtime on the first night. Highly recommend Danielle”
“Thank you Debra! My dog Cleo had the best time running around her yard and playing with the other pups. I got updates through our the day and photos. It was so nice knowing my baby was in good hands! 10/10 would rebook and recommend😊”
“Grisel was wonderful. Was available even though the booking was last minute. Constantly gave updates and images of my dog so I knew what was going on with her while away. My dog seemed to be very happy and comfortable while there. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to after your fur baby.”
“This was Mochi’s first stay. Kazue took Mochi for a walk every morning and sent us daily pictures and videos. We enjoyed the updates and felt at ease that Mochi was adjusting well.”
“Davis was great with Lulu! He was super attentive to her needs and sent lots of updates on her stay. I especially appreciated that he gave real updates & photos. Lulu got plenty of walks and exercise. I will definitely rebook!”
“If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family while you're away, look no further than Miya! From the moment I dropped off my fur babies I knew they were in good hands. Miya has a genuine love for dogs, and it shows in the way she interact with both of my dogs. The cozy atmosphere of her home made my dogs feel right at home with multiple beds and even a staircase, and sent me so many videos and photos during my vacation which always made my day! I highly recommend Miya to anyone in need of a caring and reliable pet sitter :)”
“Jennifer was awesome as always! I trust my pet baby with her. This is his 3rd visit with her. This was his second overnight stay, this stay was for two days. My boy is blind, takes insulin shots twice a day, a very old senior. I always worry about him when I’m away, but with Jennifer I can relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you Jennifer. 🥰”
About: Hi, I’m Martha! I’ve had dogs and other pets since I was about 8 years old. I’ve dog sat for friends which works perfectly since I am home full time. That said, I can provide your pet with specific needs — from several walks a day, playtime (which my kids with my supervision would be happy to oblige), and a lot of love and attention. I am a full time homeschooling mom with a flexible schedule and can offer a lot of time to spare to care for your pups! I have a fenced yard and dog-friendly home, a friendly pup to keep your dog company, and a loving family that would also give your dog lots of attention.
“Kashay was an incredible caregiver for our dog, Al. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt loved and cared for in our absence. Kashay recognized that I was nervous and made sure to send constant communications and cute pictures - by day two, my worries were gone and I was confident that our Al was in great hands. She even gave Al a bath, so he came home nice and shiny. I would definitely book with Kashay again!”
“I just can’t say enough nice things about Jared and Andy. They take such wonderful care of our little pup and are great about sending daily pictures of what they’ve been up to. I feel lucky we found them!!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Martha as our dog sitter! She was incredibly flexible with the booking process, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Throughout our time away, she sent regular updates and photos of our puppy, which we really appreciated. Martha also took him on walks and gave him lots of attention and care. He came home happy and relaxed. We could tell she truly loves animals. Would I recommend her to others? Absolutely, without hesitation!”
“Sabrina watched my pups for 4 nights and was incredible with them. I was really able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in such good hands. She communicated clearly and frequently the entire time, sending pupdates and pics also, which I loved seeing. Pickup and drop off was perfect also, following some specific requests I had for that with one of my high energy pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to have my girls stay with her again.”
“Megan and her family were absolutely fantastic with Shay over the weekend! I really appreciated how communicative Megan was, sending regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It's clear they treated Shay like one of their own, and I could tell Shay was happy and well-cared for. I plan to rebook with Megan for my next trip – highly recommend!”
“Katherine was a fantastic sitter for our senior pup Amara and I would happily be a return customer! She was available to accommodate Amara super last minute, which was life saving, and she really understood the needs of a senior doggo with a particular personality. She was very thorough, even communicating which vet she would use in case of emergency (don’t worry, no emergencies occurred!). They had a great time hanging out in her back yard, going on strolls and snuggling on the couch. Amara was a very happy girl at the end of her stay and I would definitely recommend Katherine as a Rover sitter!”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Bari is the best! She is the only person who’s been able to keep our skittish dog calm and happy when we are gone. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s being loved and spoiled while we are gone! Thank you Bari!”
“Thank you Reginay for caring for Queenie. She had a great time and I knew she was in the best hands. Lots of walks and play time. Pics and prompt communication. Appreciate it!”

Gateway Center dog parents share their Rover experiences
Roxy was wonderful. She was very easy to get along with and so of course my pup liked her as well. My doggy liked her and her husband right away and I felt comfortable having them watch her for a weekend trip. The apartment complex she is in is dog friendly and I saw maybe 6 people walking their dog around the complex when we first went to go check out the boarding situation. Although my dog doesnt like other dogs ,I felt comfortable that if she were to escape out the door [trying to find me ] that another dog lover would have seen her right away and she wouldnt get very far. Roxy was very cautious with my pup but im just saying IF my dog got out some how ,the area seemed sercure and dog friendly. Roxy and my dog bonded well and Roxy even crushed up my dogs food for her to eat it easier [she has teeth issues]. Roxy gets a 5 star from me and I will be using her service again for my next trip.
Kirsten and Jake took great care of Roxy! They were accommodating about our need for a last-minute booking and made time for a meet and greet on short notice. Communication was great and we were assured daily that our girl was safe and comfortable during her stay.
Julie was amazing! From the very first contact she asked if I was interested in a meet & greet. This is the first time someone on Rover has asked me that. From my visit and conversation, I know that Julie would take great care of my pups. This was the first time I left Benji with someone else so I was extremely nervous. Every day Julie sent an update along with pictures. My pups looked extremely happy and cared for when I picked them up. I will definitely be rebooking. Thank you again!
Danielle is the best! She is friendly, kind & hospitable. We did a meet & greet a few days before my dog’s scheduled drop off. She welcomed us in her home with her dog and we got acquainted. Her home is cute and comfortable. Danielle was a great communicator and even sent me a couple of photos during my dogs stay with her which helped alleviate some of my kids apprehension about our dog being with a new sitter. I know my dog was under the best of care and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. 💕
