“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family and we’re very happy with how things went! From the moment we dropped her off I could tell she was in great hands. We will definitely book with her again. She’s great at sending updates and pictures which always eases the mind.”
“Stephanie is simply wonderful! She watched my elderly dog named Cosmo for 2 days on short notice, when he had just started on meds and he had limited mobility. In just a few days with her support and making sure he received his medications, he had much improved. She watched Cosmo like he was her own and shared updates all through the day including pictures. It was as if I had never left him. I feel Cosmo and I were truly blessed by her kindness. I highly recommend Stephanie to watch your fur baby. They would be loved and cared for like their owner would, if not better.”
“Crystal was absolutely wonderful and amazing while taking care of my dad's dog for three days always kept me posted with messages and photos on how Jackie's day was and how she was enjoying her time with rose I would highly recommend her to watch my dogs or any other dog without a doubt in my mind.”
“She was so nice and friendly. I hate leaving my dog anywhere and I’m so attached, she really helped with the walking out the door problem, she immediately noticed we had a hard time leaving each other and crouched down to distract her so she didn’t watch me leave and I didn’t have to watch her give me the look of abandonment. When we picked her up, she was happy and energetic. I believe she had a great time with Aisha. Will definitely continue to use her as a doggie sitter for every time I need one. Thank you so much for taking care of my baybay. ?”
“Chris, Has been amazing thru this whole experience. From me messaging a bunch before as a first time using this service. To the whole booking. We received pictures, texts everything for the whole weekend. The dogs didn't 2 craps that we was dropping off somewhere new. Our dogs have never been boarded. This has been a amazing experience and we will continue to use Chris when we travel.”
“Megan was wonderful to my older dog and made sure he was comfortable and happy! Highly recommend her to take care of pups and Potato can’t wait to go back and see her again!”
“This was Koa's second stay with Megan, and he seemed to be more comfortable the second time around. The pictures we received showed him opening up to Bruce more and playing well together. Koa is 1/7th the size of Bruce and Bruce was gentle playing tug of rope with him. Megan was communicative, and we received updates and a photo most days. Her teens seemed to love on him and he got all the snuggles he could want.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.
“AJ was wonderful with Lady! He kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. When Lady got sick he contacted us right away and was able to adjust her food type. He was also flexible when we needed to add a night. We would 100% use his services again.”
“Lauren was an outstanding pet sitter! She took care of my two large dogs while I was away, and they had a great time while at her house. I could tell that Lauren treated my dogs just like family. When I arrived to pick them up, they were enjoying their stay with Lauren. In fact, Even though they were excited to see me when I returned, they seemed perfectly content at Laurens house. I would highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely be sending my dogs back for another stay with Lauren!??”
About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. I am new to Rover, but have references from friends that I have pet sat, watched and walked. I'm pretty flexible at the moment, but do occasionally have conflicting doctor appointments. I can come to your house for walks, feedings but cannot stay the night. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Call me and see if we're a good fit!
About: My oldest is Bubba 16yr 100 lb black lab mix and my youngest Harley 1yr 65 lb lab shepherd mix. Ive taken care of dogs/cats for over 20 years. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible for boarding, daycare or just to drop in to make sure your furries are exercised and fed. I have a fenced in yard and a playful little girl doggo who will make sure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. My dogs are spoiled with walks, playing frisbee, daily brushes, homemade food and treats. There is nothing better than getting to spend time with them everyday and would welcome the opportunity to look after your pup. Feel free to ask Bubba and Harley on how well they are treated!
“Gus came home exhausted! He came home just as he was dropped off. Her kids hugged on Gus before we left which can only make me think they loved on him and treated him as their own. This was our first use of Rover and we will more than likely use it again. Gus hasn’t ever really been around other dogs and she allowed him to adjust and said he did great with them. Highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs as family for over 20+ years. From puppy to senior they have all been loved well. Your dogs will be well cared for with me. I am a stay at home mom, homeschooling my child. There will be plenty of time for walks, play, snuggles, and scratches. I would love to help my community this way by providing a safe caring place for your furry friends to stay while your away. I have a fenced in yard for them to run. I have two dogs of my own for them to play with, they are very friendly. We can crate and separate dogs if needed as well.
About: My family is always traveling and have relied on me for their mini furry loved one. I love taking dogs on walks and if not walks, laying by their side, or playing along with them, doing what they want to do. I have much time currently, so I will be able to take care of your pups however you need! I am available mainly weekdays at what ever time you are wanting. I always make sure your pets are comfortable where they are at. If you have any preferences, for example if you are wanting your pet to be crated, I would gladly make them feel safe no matter what.
