“Always s great experience for the dogs when they stay with Kelly & Maurice, my dogs never come home stressed out or with anxiety. The pictures taken they always look happy and content, especially Recci she loves their daughter, have the biggest smile on her face every time. This is why I will be a returning customer for this sitter indeed, Thank you,”
“Jackalyn did great with Wilbur, who needs a lot of exercise and stimulation ;). She was responsive, kind and helpful in coordinating drop off and pick up. And she sent pictures and updates on how he was doing the whole time we were gone! 10/10 will work with Jackalyn again!”
“Crystal was phenomenal in every way for our little guy! Very professional and offered personalized service for our "fur baby" as she called him. Would definitely recommend her service and will use her again. 😎”
“April is a great dog sitter! This was a mutual first experience for both of us and she made my dog feel more than comfortable in her home! April spends a lot of time with the dog and made sure that she got multiple walks a day. She also kept me updated with how things were going and sent multiple pics throughout the day so I could see how my baby was doing. Every single picture my dog had her mouth wide open with a big smile! She eased all of my anxiety about leaving my dog with a stranger and I caught myself not worrying about my pup for the couple days I was out of town. This was a great relief and I’m thankful April was able to do a great job with her! My dog is very particular when it comes to trusting people but it looks like my baby has made a new friend and I can’t wait to book with April again!!”
“Lynette and Vincent took awesome care of Bella. She made friends and had a lovely holiday. I would highly recommend their services and look forward to booking them again.”
“This was Balee's first boarding stay with Mady. She and her family were Ah-Mazing! I felt bad leaving because of an ear infection that he was diagnosed with a day before our departure. Balee received lots of TLC during his visit and Mady kept me updated about his adjustment daily (which was comforting).”
“This lovely couple is my fur baby’s preferred boarder. He’s stayed with them now more than 3x and when I use this app, I always rebook with them. They are kind, share updates and have a clean and safe home. My little guy - typically shy - is excited when he stays with them. 5 out 5 stars”
“Donna was very accommodating. I initially had to change my booking and then I had the wrong time entered in for drop off. She did her very best and took them earlier than planned to help us make our flight. My Lab had also recently had surgery between the time I booked and dropped off which then required him to take medication and to be watched extra since he really doesn’t like the bandage and hates the cone. She was very responsive when I checked on them and sent pictures. Would absolutely use them again. Thank you again for taking good care of our fur babies.”
“My dog Deuce had his first stay with Shawonika and she took excellent care of him. She checked in every day, sent tons of photos, and made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Mark and his adorable family welcomed and cared for Yukio and Pojke like one of their own! We received daily photos of our pups having THE BEST TIME, it's apparent they loved being there!! Thanks to Mark, his family and their dogs; we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying!”
About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.
“We’re so grateful for Danielle! She took amazing care of our dogs, Skye and Java, while we were away. She stayed in regular communication, sent plenty of updates and photos, and gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our babies were comfortable and well-loved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“Estela watched Walter for a whole week and sent me a pic almost daily. Doggy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I will consider using her services again whenever I need dog boarding.”
“Top-notch Dog Sitter. Her home is perfect With the front and back yard most importantly, she’s so kind, caring and loving. Rita called me with a question, I appreciate that. I highly recommend Rita.”
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“As always, Branden did a wonderful job with my dog. Sage is older and has a new medical condition, so I was naturally a little nervous about leaving her. Branden was incredibly attentive—carefully monitoring her symptoms, making sure she received her medications on time, and keeping me updated on how she was doing. He even gave her a bath after noticing snow melt on her paws from their walk, which I really appreciated. I always feel at ease leaving Sage because I know she’s in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Diego you did a great job taking care of my baby. Thank you!! And I appreciate kept me updated for his whole staying! Would definitely look for you for boarding my dog again!!”
Kettering dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sabrina will definitely be on speed dial! Our usual sitter had an emergency and canceled the day before scheduled to provide care. I reached out to Sabrina and she was available to help! She was very attentive and responsive. I usual do not book without a meet and greet but I did not have time to do so this time around. Sabrina made me feel comfortable and I am grateful for her.
Linda was perfect! Extremely timely, communicative and my senior doggy loved her. She sent photos and video updates Drop off and pick up very smooth My dog did not want to leave her when I picked her up. Perfection!! Thanks so much, will absolutely call Linda again.
Ashley is super amazing. She gave constant updates when watching my dog Scooby and even took him on a pup cup visit which I've never heard of but will definitely start taking him after seeing how much fun he had. I will definitely recommend Ashley to watch your fur baby and if I could would give her more that 5 stars. 10 out of 10 recommend
Ms. Rita was amazing! from our first initial meeting greet, she was very warm and welcoming, my dog met her and got very comfortable so to me that was a great sign. She kept him for four days, and I was given around the clock updates and pictures. She is so sweet. My dog was very comfortable and enjoying his stay being by Ms. Rita’s side.
Trayonna was great with Hunter. She communicated very well and left my mind at ease when it came to leaving him with someone new in such short notice. She took him out to play regularly and sent me so many updates which I loved. Hunter seemed very happy in each picture & enjoyed his cuddles. He came home happy and tired lol. I will 100% be trusting her with Hunter again.
Alder & Kathy make leaving my boy so much easier when I have to make arrangements. They are extremely responsive and always provides updates during his stay. They are my go-to sitter as my very shy-guy gets along famously with their dog and warms up to them. They treat him like he’s theirs. Happy to know he’s with them and I love rebooking with them 🫶🏽🐾
Taiwo communicated throughout caring for Chloe. She sent pictures and asked questions as needed to make sure Chloe was properly cared for. Chloe has separation anxiety and refuses to eat when not at home. Taiwo was able to comfort Chloe and she actually ate! Chloe had difficulty with bedtime since she normally sleeps with us- she had to adjust with sleeping in her cage while with Taiwo. We will use Taiwo again in the future.
