“My dog,Sallie, had a great time with Shalyn and Scout and the rest of the family. She was well taken care of. My dog can be a bit much so I appreciated her and Scout dealing with her. 😁 She is a great person on Rover to use for boarding.”

“Great! Thanks so much for helping us take a spontaneous trip to visit with a family member in Charleston. This was clearly a loving and wonderful environment for our dog. Again, many thanks.”

“Dana was very detailed about what to bring for his stay, which we really appreciated. She sent regular updates and pictures, which kept us reassured and informed about how he was doing. It meant a lot to see him settling in and making friends with the other dogs she was caring for. Overall, we felt very comfortable leaving him with her and would definitely recommend her.”


“Wow! Susan was SUCH a wonderful & genuinely caring provider for my 14 year old blind/deaf boy Harvey. She was a tremendous communicator, sending us photos and updates every day while we were on vacation. I felt 100% at ease knowing that he was in her care, enjoying her clean & peaceful home while we were out of town. Thank you so much Susan, we’re so grateful for you!”
“Rosemary took great care of our Peaches and is a delightful, caring person! Great communication and sent pictures daily. Will definitely have her watch our dog again!”


“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our little buddy Zeke for a couple of weeks as we have never left him with someone we didn't know. When we met Judith for the first time, we were so relieved to find someone who treated him like her own. Judith also kept in touch with us and our comfort level only grew from there. Thank you Judith for taking such great care of Zeke and providing us with peace of mind.”

“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“This is our second time having Ilanna watch our two dogs in the last couple months, and we had a great experience with Both stays. We were constantly kept informed on how the dogs were doing and when we picked them up they were just as happy as we dropped them off. Ilanna was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Their house had a fenced in back yard to allow our two doggies space to get exercise and have fun.”

“Anne was attentive, communicative, and reliable. My baby Bella was exceptionally cared for and loved while I was away on my trip. I recommend Anne to anyone who needs their fur baby cared for.”

“Tawni took very good care of our Daisy and kept in touch throughout her stay. I felt comfortable and confident that our Daisy was in good hands and appreciative Tawni being available each time I reached out to her”

“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”

“Our beagle was very happy with Yevheniia and her family. She sent us a picture of our dog letting us know she was doing good. All the process went smooth and she would quickly reply texts. I would recommend her services.”

“Chewy had a great time with Katherine and her family. I always have a hard time leaving my furball behind but after our meet and great i felt so much better. Chewy always keep following me when i leave but this time he went straight into their home. Tank you so much for taking our booking on such a short notice and making us feel so comfortable during my trip with text and pictures. I will definitely use Katherine again when I leave town.”

“Lauren was truly exceptional! I was pretty nervous about leaving my 13-year-old dog with someone new while we were out of town, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond in every way and completely exceeded our expectations. Lauren provided frequent, thoughtful updates that reassured us our dog was happy and comfortable. It was clear she made a genuine effort to create a calm, loving, home-like environment for Leila, which meant so much to us. You can tell Lauren genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and her attention to detail and compassion really stand out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind sitter. We’re so grateful for her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I go by Celeste and I’ve been dog and cat sitting for years and am comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, including pets with special needs. I provide a large, comfortable indoor space designed to keep pets safe and relaxed. I’m also located within a 2-minute walk of two dog parks, allowing for easy access to outdoor time and exercise. For convenience, I offer simple drop-off and pickup with the ability to stay in your car. My focus is always on creating a safe, consistent, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. I work from home full time, which gives me flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening needs, including late pickups when necessary. I can follow your pet’s routine closely and accommodate longer walks, provide alone time if needed, and providing them ability to roam large apartment. I can handle specific timing requests. While I have no back yard, I have access to multiple dog parks within 2 min walk from my back door. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and stay fully attentive during walks and visits. I follow all instructions closely, feeding, medications, routines, and stay aware of surroundings, other animals, and any risks. My goal is to create a space where your pet feels secure and you feel confident leaving them in my care.
“Cody is super communicative! He kept us updated on the pups and sent tons of pictures. We felt super comfortable having him watch our dogs and would definitely use him again!”

“I was delighted to recently have Michelle a pet sitter for my sweet cat, Chloe. I found her extremely collaborative to work with and caring for Chloe's needs. She was also good in providing me frequent updates and pictures during the pet sitting stay. I definitely plan to use her again!”

“We were extremely pleased with Monica taking care of Walter. She did a wonderful job, and had no concerns the whole time we were gone. I would definately recommend her and would use her in the future.”

Governor's Square dog parents share their Rover experiences
What a wonderful experience Cabot and I had with Dominique and Peter! Every communication was prompt, personal, and included a precious photo. It was easy to see that they were treating Cabot like their own puppy and making sure he was happy. It is a stretch to leave Cabot for such a long time , but Dominique’s style of communication made me know that he was in the right place! Now Cabot will want us to plan another trip so he can return to their house and be treated like the prince that he is! Many,many heartfelt thanks!! ❤️

Booked with Maria last minute due to an unplanned trip, she accommodated me and treated my dog like her own. She sent me updates every day and pictures of my happy dog. I don’t want to even think about that Maria one day won’t dog sit anymore because I don’t want anyone else to take care of my old dog. Amazing service will book only with her every time

I’d give ten stars if I could! Allison and her family treated our high-energy lab, Chip, as if he was a member of the family. They provided great care, lots of exercise and activity, and peace of mind for us knowing he was in such great care. Chip came home tired and already looking forward to his next visit!

Lauren was my second Rover sitter I've used, but Knox's first experience. During our meet and greet, she put us at ease and I just got a good sense she was the right sitter for us. Now that I'm back, she did exactly what I was hoping for...and more. He's a cuddly boy that just loves to be with you. She sent pictures of him relaxed and being loved so I could enjoy my trip (as much as I could without him), walked him and included him in activities. She even notified one of a potential concern (just a lab, being a lab). Just a good experience overall and I will book with her again.

Kerri is excellent! She and her entire family are dog lovers and take really good care of Kobe! Kerri sends regular updates and photos which is especially lovely! Kobe gets lots of walks and playtime with Kerri’s dog Aspen. And we see that Kobe loves going to Kerri’s very much! That speaks a thousand words!

We had the absolute BEST experienc! She took such amazing care of Bentley and treated him like he was her own. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bentley looked so happy and relaxed in every picture — and when we picked him up, it was obvious he had been well loved and cared for.
