“Janay was amazing!! Our boy really enjoyed cuddling with her and her son! Janay kept us updated with photos of walks and relaxing in the home. She even had his bowls washed and packed when it came time for pick-up. Even though we needed help on such short notice, Janay was very responsive and great to work with. We’ll 100% be booking with her again. 12/10 recommend. 🐾❣️”


“Finn had another wonderful stay with Melanie! We loved the picture & video updates and felt at ease while we were away. My dog seems very comfortable at her house and loves playing with her pup!”


“Whitney and her family were absolutely amazing! Her fenced in yard provided plenty of space for the dogs to play. My dog, Finn, received so much love and snuggles! Finn will definitely be back. Thank you, Whitney!”


“We love Amanda! She’s and her family are so great with our very spoiled dogs!! 😉 She sends daily texts and photos which is so wonderful! Her home is perfect for them with a large back yard with lots of shade! We are so thankful to have found Amanda!”

“Raven is so awesome! She was the perfect sitter for my anxious dog! He even made doggy friends and is usually super particular about who he associates with. Thank you so much for the communication while we were away and for being the best care giver to my little fluffball!”


“This was our first time using Rover and we were so fortunate to have found Sarah. From our initial contact it was clear - she was all about dogs. Our Trevor was a rescue who is still very anxious. He hasn’t been boarded in 4 years, so we were very apprehensive about the experience. But Sarah put us and Trevor at ease. He fit right into their family. He stayed 12 days and every report was positive. Thank you Sarah and family! We will definitely use your services again. Sorry for all of the white hair that your house is likely covered in now. Theresa, Rodger & Trevor”


“Nathaniel was friendly, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile. Seems to have a great home with a fenced-in yard, and gave our pooch the attention she needed. We’ll be calling on Nathaniel again!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and right now I share my home with three dogs and a cat. I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else—I’m super protective of mine because the idea of them feeling anxious or lonely while I’m away really weighs on me. That’s why, if I’m caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. Our pets’ lives are short and precious, and I believe every moment should be filled with comfort, care, and joy. I’m available every day of the week, including weekends. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, so your pet will have my complete attention and care. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard and I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be left alone. If they stay with me, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have my own pets at home, but I’m happy to keep them separated if needed—I can easily set aside our downstairs living area just for your pet’s comfort and peace of mind.

“Jessica and her family were wonderful with my dog Tango during her recent doggy daycare and boarding. She came home exhausted from a couple days of fun! Jessica exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely trust her to take care of Tango again!”


“Sarah was very responsive to questions and accommodating to my dog’s visit. She sent pictures and let me know he was adjusting to his first visit at her home. I can certainly recommend her and I will be using her again.”


“My pup had an amazing time with Keysha and her family. I got daily updates and pictures of how much fun she was having. A lot of walks and even a car ride for a pup cup. She came home happy and tired. I would definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”


“The best sitter we’ve found on Rover so far. Very communicative and definitely goes the extra mile to make sure you feel safe and happy while you are away from your pet. Would use Ryan 1000 times over!”


“Shannon was wonderful! She provided frequent updates and sent pictures/videos of our dogs. The care was fantastic. She treated our Goldens as though they were her own fur babies. :)”

Joppa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Pat and Bee were fantastic! We booked them on short notice since we were going away for 4 days and needed a sitter. They set up a meet and greet with our pet and agreed to watch him. They sent us pictures daily to ensure us that he was doing well. We will definitely look to book them in the future.

Alessandra was quick to respond to my initial request for a sitter. Jesse enjoyed his stay with Alessandra and her family. She gave me daily updates with photos of his little vacation, car rides and all. Thank you Alessandra for taking care of our special needs sweet dog. I’m sure he was a challenge but I felt confident that he would be taken well cared for and he was. Please thank your daughter as well.
