“I was a little hesitant in leaving my 17 month old golden with strangers. Best decision I made. Nala had so much fun with her furry friends. Haby and her family were so great with her. They sent me pics throughout the day and kept me informed on how she was doing. So blessed to know I can leave her and have peace of mind she is being well taken care of. Best thing ….she came home super tired from the days activities. Thank you Haby and fam !!’”
“Becky and Ravid were absolutely amazing dog sitters! Our dog was so happy with them, and they sent plenty of photo and video updates, which we really appreciated. We truly enjoyed our experience with them and felt completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. We will definitely continue to leave our dog only with them!”
About: I have 18 years of experience taking care of dogs and my experience with them is the same as in the photos: always happy and well I'm almost always at home so I have time to take care of the dogs, play with them, walk them, feed them, pay attention to their hydration, etc. I have a garden, it is a spacious 2-story house, and I am always attentive to their well-being, that they eat, hydrate, play, run, do their needs (pee and poop), rest, be happy, and even if they need some kind of specific help I am also attentive to that
“Amy is the best! We took our little Kobe there two days in a row. She sends pictures and updates all the time and when I picked him up after the first day Amy said “I loved having him and will watch him any day, he plays great with the other kids.” It made me so happy to hear her refer to them as “kids”. She is a true animal lover. Upon returning the next day Kobe was so excited to see her, which reassures me that he had a great time the day before and she treats him so well. I will be using Amy for all off my future dog sitting!”
“Blue was very happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use Darvis again in my nexts trip. He has a nice patio, the place is very clean and his mom is lovely too. Thank you Darvis”
“Miss Denise is the best thing that’s ever happened to us! My dog is finicky and they bonded since day 1. True romance! I trust her wholeheartedly. Nice long walks and lots of TLC and picture updates. We couldnt ask for anything more, we are blessed to have her in our lives.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that i actually love the whole job not only the cute parts. Im patient when it comes to puppies who are still learning and are very playful, gentle with older dogs who need a slower pace, and calm when pets are anxious and shy. Im great at following the routine like giving pets meds and sensing when something is “off”. Basically I treat every pet like theyre my own with lots of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very open, which allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship as needed I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At my home, I have a friendly cat and a fenced yard where pets can run around and play safely with supervision. I stick to their normal feeding and potty schedules, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and make sure they’re always comfortable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so pets feel relaxed and at home. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care as instructed.
About: All my life I have had dogs of different sizes in my house in Colombia, I have also taken care of other dogs of my family and friends when they went on a trip and had no one to leave them with, I am very loving with them I love animals and I like to take care of them they. I have taught some to do tricks I am a student in the mornings from Monday to Thursday, my afternoons, nights and weekends I can take care of them, give them walks and they can also stay with me if necessary. They take two to three walks a day, to exercise them, they will always be supervised while they are in my care, I will teach them tricks and the necessary meals provided by the pet owner.
About: Hi, I'm Arturo! I've been loving on animals for as long as I can remember puppies, big dogs, guinea pigs, cats you name it. After losing my dog, I found myself missing all the love, tail wags, and little moments that come with being around animals. That’s when I decided to turn my passion into a profession. For the past four years, I’ve been caring for pets full-time, and I couldn’t be happier doing what I love. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I run my pet business from home full time, so I'm around throughout the day to give your pet all the love, walks, playtime, and attention they need. I have a fully-fenced backyard with toys, bowls, treats, beds, and a calm, safe space to relax. We live in a lovely neighborhood with lots of space for calm walks and sniff breaks.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We've plenty of time to play with your pups! It is important for us to know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and is friendly with kids. We would also want to know if your pet has a tendency to dig or chew on furniture or shoes so we can make the necessary accomodations. Also it’s important to know if your pet has any preexisting medical conditions and/or requires any medication or supplements to be administered We have a fenced in front and backyard. However, dogs are allowed both inside and outside our home. We also believe in taking dogs on multiple walks a day to give them the exercise they need.
“Andrea was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and it exceeded our expectations! Our dog is very anxious, nervous l, and particular about who he stays with, so we were hesitant to leave him with someone he wasn’t familiar with. Andrea offered to meet him before which was great! When we left him with Andrea for a few days, he warmed up to her quickly! She sent us pictures throughout his stay and kept us informed. We will definitely be leaving our dog with Andrea again. She was wonderful!”
“So if he had another amazing visit with Alex and her family. We received photos and videos, and they took her out for several walks. We recommend them to anybody and their fur babies.❤️”
About: All my life I have lived with dogs, from a very young age my parents gave me a wonderful gift and it was a Creole puppy as they call it in my country, I loved it with all my heart, it died of old age. and from there I felt the need to give time, love to animals. I have 12 years of experience. By profession I am a nurse and Ergonoma Currently I dedicate myself full time to the care of pets, I am available 24 hours a day, weekends and nights, I can also take care of them without any problem. I live in an apartment located on the first floor, it has a large space for your furry, we have green areas and a park for your pet.
“Our 18 month old dog had never stayed with anyone other than my husband and me and had tremendous separation anxiety. Ekaterina communicated with us prior to the first visit in order to be prepared for his needs. She made every effort to comfort our dog on his first stay, keeping him by her side most of the time. She also sent updates and photos. The 2d and 3d visits went very well. She is very caring and gentle and has an excellent manner with animals. We can't wait to have our dog stay with her again-he feels the same way!”
“Chloe is so sweet and caring! Hugo really enjoyed a chill day with her. Chloe really helped us out in a pinch because I teach and my son got called for jury duty. We’re so grateful he enjoyed his stay with Chloe!”
“Very responsive, answered all my calls and questions in a timely manner. Checked in with me when I requested. Sent pics and texts throughout the day. No complaints. Pretty straightforward.”
Lake Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
I'm very overprotective of my dog especially since he's never in s crate or kennel at home but Bertha put me at ease that she uses them for safety reasons and explained to me when she would be using them for Mochi. She's very responsive and proactive about sending update photos and videos throughout the stay and letting you know little things she notices about your dog. In every update I received Mochi looked like he was having the time of his life socializing and clearly being supervised by Bertha who was patient and present. Clearly Bertha is dedicated to the safety and happiness of the pups in her care which and is very transparent about how they'll be handled during their stay. Mochi had a wonderful time =)
I was in such a pinch as Leo isn’t allowed on lot of tourist stuff around Miami and also on the hop on hop off bus and I was hoping that my family from out of country don’t miss out on what Miami had to offer . Karen came as a saviour where I could leave Leo behind and I was surprised . The way she took care of Leo kept us updated of his every schedule and even Leo loved staying there. I am going to use her for boarding Leo whenever I am in town . Highly recommended.
Bey was amazing with Roxy!!! I felt very comfortable and happy from the moment I met her. She was always transparent with her communication and kept me updated about where my fur baby was 😄. I loved that she organized a treat and play afternoon, and she even asked me beforehand if she could give my dog some treats. The best part was that when I went to pick up my baby, she didn’t want to leave! 😆 Without a doubt, I’ll contact her again!!! Thank you, Bey, for taking such loving care of my Roxy and all the other dogs , they all looked so happy.
Rita is amazing with our dogs. We have three catahoula leopard dogs who have a pack mentality. She understands this and is the one person who gives us peace of mind that our dogs are in good hands. She even gave the dogs extra padding in their crate to keep them comfy. Rita sent me with photos and kept me updated so our family could enjoy a vacation together. We truly appreciate Rita!
Leaving our boys, Rex and Remington, for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Penelope was absolutely amazing! She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the day, and it was clear they were having the best time. She even did a back-to-school photoshoot with them! We were so worried to leave them, but Penelope made us feel so comfortable, and we now feel great about leaving our boys with her. We can't thank her enough!
Emily is the best! I was a little nervous my first time using Rover but Emily was very communicative and had a great vibe when I entered her home. It was clean and welcoming & she's such a sweet person who really cares for animals. My baby loved her and had a great day. Emily sent me a bunch of pictures and video throughout the day & my girl even had a great day with her cat! When we said goodbye, my girl gave Emily a big kiss which showed me how comfortable she felt. Thank you Emily for making such a positive first experience! I hope to see you again next time I visit South Florida from Orlando!
Michael was amazing!!!! Took amazing care of Oreo and even catered to his skin(he's hairless and well it's Florida,don't need a burnt dog!🤣) super flexible with my schedule which is a must for us!!!!! Won't hesitate to book again next time I'm in Florida!!!!!!
