“Being a first time user of Rover this experience couldn’t have gone any better! After meeting Robin I was at ease. She sent pictures/videos. I’d definitely use Robin again!!”
“Jessica is amazing! She took Parker on so many walks and kept me updated with photos multiple times a day throughout the weekend. Her dog Kota was great with Parker! Parker had such a great weekend with Jessica and her crew. I will definitely use Jessica again- she’s an A+ Rover sitter!!!!”
“Rachel was so great to work with. Great communication and very responsive, from intros to meeting to dropping off etc. Beautiful house and big fenced in yard - perfect for an active dog. Rachel was amazing with our sweet 8mon old puppy, who was a little timid at first but warmed up quickly to their little puppy. They became fast best friends! We would definitely recommend and we will be using them again!”
“Michelle kept our dog over the holidays and was so nice and easily worked around our schedule for drop off and pick up. She kept us posted during his stay and had other dog guest to keep our pup entertained! Will be using her again!”
“My family and I were in town for a couple of days and we needed a last minute dog sitter. Cait had some good reviews and so we decided to move forward and have her dog sit. She was awesome! Our dog had a great time and Cait said she enjoyed playing with her dogs. If we’re in town again, we would definitely reach out!!”
“Absolutely so grateful for her service. She was able to keep our Charlie boy for 4 nights while we spent time with family vacationing. She kept us notified of any and all things that had to do with him and kept him happy and safe. Couldn’t be more thankful. 10/10 would use her service again.”
“Ellen and her husband were amazing. Found them on Rover last minute after our other options fell through she was very accommodating and value of service was incredible. She stayed in contact with us during the week and sent pictures of Bodie throughout our 11 day vacation. They have a great property for dogs to run around and I will definitely be using them again!!!”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“Best sitter I could have ever asked for. I received pictures and updates on CJ the entire time. Stacey provided the care and attention my dog needed. Will always look to use her first anytime we may be away. Thank you Stacey!! ❤️?”
“Myra is took great care of my grandpup Ollie! This was his first time staying with a dog sitter so I was not sure how he would behave but Ollie was so happy & playful when he met Myra and stayed with her. Myra also sent me pictures of Ollie and provided updates often which I really appreciated . I highly recommend using her services !!”
“Vy was great! She sent photos and videos of sailor everyday and we didn’t question for a minute if he was having fun! Also, special thanks for Forrest for being the sweetest companion this past week!”
“Our dog, Scout stayed with Julie and her family for a week and she had an amazing time! They took great care of her with lots of walks and playing with Julie’s kiddos. We will definitely be using Julie again in the future if and when needed! Seriously appreciate the care given to Scout and the updates we got throughout the week made us miss her just a little less!”
“Jen is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is so good with handling dogs, even when mine has an attitude sometimes, and she always communicates with us very well and sends lots of pictures. Our dog loves her and we will rebook her again!”
About: I've owned pets my whole life. My gentle composure and empathic nature make them feel loved and safe with me. I fostered a puppy from the Caribbean that nobody else wants to deal with. Within a month, she let me pet her and take her on walks. I train dogs with care and lots of pets! I am a freelancer and work from home. Dogs that stay at my house can go in and out and be protected by a fenced-in yard. I will ask about diet, routines, and special needs for your pets. I will come to your house for free for a meet and greet and see if we connect with your pet.
“Tawny had so much fun staying the weekend with Jennifer and her dog Wanda. She enjoyed her fenced in back yard and her trip to the dog park too. Jennifer sent pictures and texts to keep me updated which I enjoyed receiving. When I was delayed due to a major accident on the local highway enroute to Jennifer’s house to pick Tawny up at the end of her stay, Jen was very accomodating and took it in stride which eased my mind tremendously. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
