“I had no worries with Shanna, every interaction showed her care for my pet was her first concern. Great communication and pictures while I was away, I truly could not have asked for more.”

“This is Obi's second time with Arlene and I can't say enough positive about her. She loves her pups and they love her. She treats them like they are her own, with so much care and attention. She sends loads of pictures and videos. It's clear how much Obi trusts her and enjoys being with her and her husband. I am so thankful to have found Arlene!”

About: I have done it all: walks, playtime, training, overnight stays, house breaking puppies, etc. I am excited to meet your pup! My goal is to be respectful, fun, and kind. I currently work partime so am free in the afternoons! I will have my 7 month old daughter with me as my little helper 😉. I have the skills and knowledge to know how to respect and earn respect from your pup. Will make sure they feel safe and enjoy some time playing as well! As a mother and personal dog owner I have a nurturing spirit.
“Rachel took wonderful care of our Miller while we were on vacation. He got an upset tummy and she went above and beyond to make sure he was okay. Miller seemed to really enjoy his time with Rachel and her dogs! We will def be using her again!”

“Carrie and Brian were amazing with Bear. They both are very kind and easy to talk to. Carrie sent many daily updates that kept my mind at ease and I had no doubt that Bear was well taken care of. I would most definitely book again!”

“Kim was absolutely wonderful. She showed so much care and interest in my two Pomeranians. She was highly interested in making sure she knew and took care of all my doggie needs. I would highly recommend her, especially if you have older dogs requiring special attention.”

“Danielle went above and beyond taking care of our Lab and kept us updated each day included photos and videos. She spoiled him with treats 😆 which I know he loved. I know he loved all the play time and he came home tired! I highly recommend her!”

About: Experienced with energetic and strong willed dogs. Experienced with structured care, consistent routines, and happy dogs :) Will love your pup like it’s my own Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. My routine revolves around making sure my dog is walked, fed, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Feel free to message me about availability! I typically am available whenever you need!! I have a very friendly and energetic Husky in my home who loves staying active. We go on walks around the neighborhood about every 2 hours for potty breaks, as well as mental and physical stimulation. We also occasionally enjoy car rides to the dog park for extra fun and exercise. Since my yard is unfenced, I have a secure outdoor lead available. If your dog enjoys spending time outside like mine, I’d be happy to accommodate that upon request. For safety and comfort, I also have a crate available and can crate your dog or mine as needed.
“This is my second time hiring Brooke, and she continues to be amazing. She takes excellent care of my dog, Bella, and truly treats her like her own. Bella is always happy and well cared for, which gives me complete peace of mind. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend her. I just want to tell you how amazing you are at dog sitting. You take such great care, and it really shows. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Bella is with you. Thank you for everything you do!”


About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
“Debora was amazing. She was very kind and caring. You can tell right away that she truly loves animals. She took great care of our dog Cali. I am so thankful that I found her on Rover. She was great with communication. This was our first experience using Rover and I would do it again. I would recommend Debora to anyone looking for a great care giver to your dog. Thank you Debora.”

“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”

“Kathy is top notch! Bella obviously has a good time with her dog, Bruno, and her cat. Kathy is just as obviously an excellent caretaker. She's so cooperative when we need to rearrange times, or anything else to make things work. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“This was the first time we used Rover and Leslie. Everything went very smoothly for our 10-day trip. Leslie was very responsive, and Charlie was well cared for. We would use Rover and Leslie again.”

“Brittany provided exceptional care for my two dogs, Renzo and Lolo, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. She was attentive, caring, and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while they were in her care. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys working with animals and treated my boys as if they were her own. Renzo and Lolo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciated the communication and attention she provided throughout their stay. I would highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. The boys can't wait to spend time with her again! 🐾💕”

“Itzel did a wonderful job with my high-energy puppy & older dog. She made sure they were comfortable and safe during their stay, and sent daily updates wittr pictures. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation:)”

“We are extremely pleased to have found Norma to be our forever dogsitter. She truly loves dogs and I can tell our Adrian loves staying with her and her furry friends. I am very confident my dog is in good hands when I drop her off. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful sitter for our dog. Thanks Norma!”

High Rock dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shanna is absolutely amazing and an easy host to work with. Scheduled last minute for a week long trip, and she made everything super easy to understand and process. My dog is quite timid, but by day 2 he was completely comfortable and at home, speaking to the work and care Shanna has for dogs. Definitely will be using again!

We are beyond grateful to have had Shanna and her wonderful family care for our three yellow labs over the Labor Day weekend! Leaving our pups behind is never easy, but knowing they were in such loving and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Shanna treated them like part of her own family, making sure they were not only well cared for but also happy and spoiled with attention. Her genuine love for animals truly shines through, and that made all the difference for us. She went above and beyond by sending us beautiful pictures from their hikes and keeping us updated on anything she felt was important. That extra care and communication gave us such comfort while we were away. Thank you so much, Shanna, for allowing us to enjoy our time out of town worry-free. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Our labs can’t wait to see you again!
