“Ashley and her family were AMAZING hosts to our fur baby! We received pictures and videos throughout his whole stay and we are SO grateful we found them on Rover. It’s good to know your family member is safe and loved when you’re gone. They will definitely be our go to dog watchers from now on!”
“Amanda was awesome! And super flexible to last minute changes in our schedule. Hank had a great time and was well cared for, she was super patient with him and his recent pickiness with his food. We look forward to Amanda babysitting our pupper again.”
“Diane was wonderful and we are so happy that we found her! She was so nice and welcomed our dog into her home on short notice. My family felt very comfortable knowing our dog Sebastian was having so much fun and getting lots of love!”
“I am so grateful to have found Sarah. My boys absolutely loved visiting with her and Halle and will be seeing her again soon.”
“Clayton cared for my 2 dogs for a week & it was amazing being able to enjoy a holiday not worrying about my babies. He’s well educated & very responsive. We unexpectedly had to add an additional day to our board because of travel delays & he was very accommodating & reassuring. One of my pups is a border collie, could be hard to love if not your own but Clayton gave him amazing care & also when asked to give training advice was completely willing to help in any way necessary. Recently moving to NC it’s very comforting to have found a boarder that I feel 100% comfortable using again. 10/10 recommend.”
“Gabrielle and her family took amazing care of Nash. I received so many pictures and could tell he was having a great time! He came home a very happy and tired pup!! We will definitely be using Gabrielle again!”
“My pup had a fantastic stay and felt right at home immediately! Michele was so great and flexible it made our trip so easy knowing that Hooch was getting loved on and playing with new friends. We'll definitely book again!”
“I’ve been having Julia watch my Belgian Malinois, LUCY, off and on for the past year. Lucy is a high energy dog, but she almost always comes home and sleeps for hours, worn out from playing with the other dogs. I’m going on a three week vacation soon and I’m sure that Julia will do fine taking care of Lucy. 😎😘🐕”
“This was our first time using Rover and it definitely won’t be our last. Raquel was fantastic! She sent pictures and updates to reassure us that our baby was in great hands while we were gone. Her kids treated our pup like he was their own. We will absolutely stay in touch with Raquel!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years. My family and I often pet sit for friends. We love opening our home to furry friends! I am currently staying home with my kids for summer break, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! During the school year I will move to a part time work schedule, which allows me to have time for pet sitting as well. I offer a smoke free home with multiple pet safety features including pet gates up and only pet toys allowed in the designated pet areas. I am able to provide plenty of leashed walks on my quiet neighborhood street and large yard! I do have chickens that remain in their fenced in coop during pet sitting. The families bearded dragon Spike will remain in his terrarium.
“Miranda did an amazing job with consistent communication (daily videos) and Milo seemed very happy and content at pickup! Will be using her in the future!”
“My two senior dogs loved their week with Maydia. She truly went above and beyond the entire week we were away! She sent updates every day and cared for our dogs as if they were her own. Highly recommend and they can’t wait to stay with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years, starting back in California where I regularly walked and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight boarding and weekend stays. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll, a trip to the dog park, a hike, or a good bath after playtime, I make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to match their energy and needs; whether that means a lot of activity or lots of snuggles! I work weekdays from 6am to 2pm and am usually home by 3pm. I’m available for boarding after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. During the week, your pup will still get plenty of love, attention, and walks once I’m home. Weekend stays are even more flexible—I’m fully available for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day! I live in a clean, comfortable 2-bedroom apartment with access to two dog parks right in my community, which makes potty breaks and playtime super convenient. I’m also happy to drive to nearby trails and parks so your pup can enjoy more space to run, explore, and get their energy out. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Keeping routines consistent, giving lots of affection, and making sure they feel secure and loved.
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, Bruce and Ellie. I work mostly from home and have a fully fenced yard, so your pup will get plenty of attention and safe outdoor time. I'm available on weekends and holidays to care for your pets. I mostly work out of the home and am flexible on drop off and pick up times. Whatever works best for you and your pet, I can generally facilitate. I mostly work from home so they will be supervised. If I am out of the house, I can either crate them or leave them out with mine, your preference!

“Larrisa did an amazing job with our two pups Bailey and Madeline. She did especially well with Madeline who is a senior and has mobility issues. She also had meds that she needed twice daily and soars on her feet from the way she lays. Larrisa changed and kept the bandages clean. She also trimmed both dogs nails. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
