“Lina and her daughters were fantastic! They took great care of our two dogs over a long holiday weekend, providing numerous photos throughout each day. We would highly recommend them and have already scheduled additional stays!”


“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”


“Gracie is truly the best! She is so kind and is amazing with my puppy!! She’s who I always go to first! Will keep using her! Highly recommend”


“I board Winston with Michael every time I go out of town. I get pictures of all of the activities they do together and all of the new doggy friends Winston makes. I feel entirely confident that my dog is getting the best care when I’m away.”



About: Your dog deserves some time outside. I want to be that person to bring some fun in the sun (or rain/snow) for your companion in chief. I have been around dogs all my life. I grew up taking care of a Lhasa Apso (15 lbs) and lived and cared for a few other smaller dogs throughout my life. I currently have two large dogs, a Lab and a German Shepherd (you can imagine the shedding), and I love walking them and exploring the city together. I have experience using prong collars, ecollars, gentle leaders, and harnesses. My Lab is not a dog park type of dog, and that's okay we have plenty of fun exploring and playing fetch. My German Shepherd does like dog parks and other dogs, people not so much. I know one size does not fit all. Whatever you want me to with your pup just let me know. I want them to have a good time and will treat him/her just like my own. Note: My dogs will not accompany me during rover booked walks. Medicine? No problem. I regularly administer ear drops, have done injections, ointments etc. Solo play? Dog parks? Can do. Over the years with my own dogs, I've learned to recognize body language when a dog looks uncomfortable, anxious, fearful or just wants to play. Let's just have fun.

“Kamil did an AMAZING job caring for my sweet little Oreo. She sent lots of videos and photos to keep me sane while I was away. Definitely one of the best dog sitters I have found on Rover. She even included a little care package for me and Oreo. So thoughtful and sweet. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!”


“Luna had a great time! She came back happy and content and I felt at ease knowing that she was well cared for. Stephanie was great to send pictures and keep in touch while Luna was with her.”


“Zara always has the best time with Shanti & loves her dog Nico. Shanti is very communicative and accommodating. Repeat bookings and very happy!”


“I could not have been more pleased with Boxer’s stay with John. He has a dog, and we walked them together before our actual sitting dates, just to make sure they got along. They did. John was kind and welcoming, provided daily (and encouraging) reports, and lots of pics. The best of all: I didn’t worry about Boxer’s safety or well-being AT ALL. I’d use John again in a heartbeat!”


“Amber was great! She and her daughter really seemed to click with our dog, which helped. I definitely recommend. She was available exactly when she said she'd be, and was very flexible with us.”


“Ana looked after our dog for 3 nights and 4 days. This was Jack’s longest stay away from us. I was so nervous to leave him, and Ana gave many updates and made me feel sure that Jack was happy and safe. I am so thankful for her care and love towards my dog so I can leave the state and know my dog is in good hands.”


“This was my first time using the Rover app. I needed a sitter within a day and Johanna was my first request. She responded immediately. She took great care of my senior shih tzu. She sent pics and videos to ease my worries. I was overly pleased! Johanna was a life- saver and I look forward to using her services in the future!”


“Elena was very easy to coordinate with, was conscientious and reliable! My pup seemed to be well cared for while at her place. I'd recommend!”


“10/10!!! What an amazing sitter. Our shy/difficult dog was so comfortable during this stay. We felt she was well understood and well cared for. Would definitely book again!!!”


“I can not recommend Robyn enough! My dog Sophie had such an amazing experience boarding with her and for a day sit. I went away and had her stay with Robyn for 4 nights and the level of care, love and communication were exemplary. If there were an option to give even more than five stars I would! My typically anxious rescue pup was SO happy and relaxed. I got daily updates and questions about her care and could see (literally) how well she was doing by her body language in photos and the fact that she ate all her meals while I was away. Robyn is so lovely and warm. She has such a kind spirit and I am so glad I found her. I’m literally already thinking of ways to book her again so my dog gets to go to the equivalent of dog Disney land again. She is a GEM.”


“Julio took great care of Wesley while we were out of town! He picked him up and dropped him off, which was a huge help. He made sure Wesley got his meds twice a day and sent regular updates. It looked like they had a great time and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Julio again.”


“EJ was very professional with my 2 kitties : always communicate smoothly and easily, send many pictures of them and took great care of them. Highly recommend her !”


“This was our second time having our Golden Retriever stay with David and she always comes back so happy! He is so attentive to her needs and we love the pictures and updates he sends. She is the most comfortable with him while we’re away! So happy to have found him and his family!”


“Mayka had an amazing stay with Kelly and her kids. Kelly understood that Mayka can be easily scared and took her time to introduce her to her kids for Mayka to feel comfortable. She also kept updated daily on Mayka stay. We will definitely use Kelly again!”


“I felt at ease the whole time I was away from my dog, I received photos and videos daily, which really made me feel comfortable with being away for so long. When I returned home my dog was calm and was clearly well taken care of.”
