“This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!”


“I appreciate Jennifer’s help so very much. She treated Tony the dog so very well and even let me know how he was doing day to day. She really helped us both out so very much and I hope to get her help in the future!”


“Chisato was a great dogsitter! She sent multiple updates every day with how Juni was doing. She followed Juni's care instructions and reached out if she had questions. Juni seemed like she had a lot of fun with Chisato! Thank you, Chisato!”


“This is the fourth of fifth time we used Patricia to watch over our dog. We've never had any concerns or worries once we've dropped him off. Patricia is wonderful to work with and loves our furry companion. Thanks as always!”



“Dee is incredibly responsive and reliable. She was warm and welcoming at the meet and greet and again when we dropped off Stella at Dee's home. It was nice to get consistent communication and photos while were away, and we appreciate that Dee gave Stella so much attention.”


“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”


“Outstanding caretaker, loves the dogs in her care and takes excellent care of mine for the week. I am so happy to have found her and completely confident she will provide the best care. Stays in touch, checks in to see how things were going while I was recovering from surgery. Thank you Kristal!”


“Tessa and her husband took very good care of our dog Gus. We were very happy with the first visit and did an overnight stay which also went very well. Gus seemed very comfortable in their home. Tessa is very responsive and sent us pictures of Gus.”


“Deidre took great care of our beloved beagle and sent us nice updates and photos along the way. So glad that he has a safe and comfortable place to hang out while we are away!”


“Norm and Mary watched our golden retriever over the weekend and really made us feel comfortable with his first Rover experience. If we need someone to watch him again they are our first choice! Made the transition from our home to theirs seamless as possible for Kobe. Thanks!”



“Jayne was great. She sent us multiple updates a day, including pictures. She was quick to respond. It was very easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times. And our dog Conrad, seemed in great spirits when we picked him up.”


“Karina took great care of Paisley so much so that she felt at home. The whole family is very welcoming. As Paisley is a fussy eater, she made sure to hand feed her daily and allowed her to be on the bed. She was well fed, provided bath when she got dirty, taken out for walks, sent us timely updates with photos and videos, which kept us relaxed during our vacation. We are extremely happy to have found a perfect place for Paisley in the future. Overall, a great experience and there is no doubt that we will continue to use Karina's services going forward. Thank you, Karina for taking care of Paisley and for keeping her happy throughout her 2+ weeks of stay!”


“Anita provided excellent care for our dog Jax.🐾She sent regular updates with pictures of Jax and responded timely to our messages. She even gave Jax a little treat and a bath before we picked him up 😊 Jax had a great time with Anita.”


“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Veera! You looked after him wonderfully, and we really appreciated your prompt responses to all our questions. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend your pet care services!”


“There aren't enough stars available to give Yesina. She was awesome. Stoney loved her. She was just what he needed. She was very kind, good, stearn and loving with Stoney. Stoney loved her friendly and playful dogs and became one of the pack. She gave him the training he needed and he responded wonderfully. I trusted her right away. She gave me great training tips to continue with Stoney at home. When I first met her I knew it would be a great relationship! Thanks Yesina (and your hubby too) for everything!”

“Highly recommend boarding with Juliana! She took great care of our dog, Benny, sending frequent updates where Benny seemed to be having the time of her life :) Most notably, Juliana was totally flexible when flight delays required an extra night of boarding last minute. Will definitely rebook!”


About: I have taken care of various sorts of pets including hamsters, dogs, cats, fishes and birds. I absolutely love animals! I have been involved in animal rescue and foster work. I love taking care of them. I own a Persian cat and four fishes, I look after them like they are my own kids. I have plenty of experience when it comes to taking care of cats, dogs, birds, and fishes. Your pet will feel at home when staying with me, I will make sure to love them like my own and play with them and look after them sincerely.

“Patricia was wonderful with our yorkie! She worked with us to get to know his quirks and took excellent care of him. We received updates throughout his stay. When I picked him up he was very relaxed which is says a lot! We are so lucky to have found her!”


About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

Knollwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexis is absolutely AMAZING! Our boy Diesel absolutely loves her we’ve used her a few times now since moving to the area and she’s a true rockstar. Diesel whines and gets all excited when we pull up to drop him off. He’s so spoiled and loved when he’s with her. She always sends pictures and updates of him she has been hands down the best sitter we’ve ever worked with. She’s so sweet and flexible when it comes to pickup and drop off just down right easy to work with 💕
