“Amazing sitter! Our puppy loved her, and she was great to update us with pics of him enjoying his "vacation". Will definitely be using her for all our trips moving forward. Knowing he was taken care of and she was sticking to his at home schedule, allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. Thank you so much!”
“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”
“What a great experience! Wrigley felt right at home, he loved playing with Dan and Joys kids. I received daily updates and pictures. I would give Wrigley’s stay and the friendly atmosphere a 5++. Thank you for treating Wrigley as family. Cathy Gonzalez”
“CoCo had a wonderful time at Cathy’s! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and truly passionate about their care. She exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to booking her again.”
“We will definitely be using Jordan again! We have a very high energy dog and he came back exhausted after a weekend of fun at her house! It was exactly what we needed coming home with a newborn baby. She sent lots of pictures and updates letting us know our pup was doing well! She’s awesome!”
“You guys were excellent thank you thank you thank you for taking wonderful care of my baby. I love all of the pictures and the videos will definitely use you guys in the future.”
“Nancy was amazing and very accommodating. We took Axel for a meet and greet and when we went back for his overnight stay he was clearly excited to be there and ran right up to her without looking back at us when we left. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog to stay. We will definitely be using Nancy again in the future. It was a big relief knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping your pet safe and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved while you’re away! I am a graduated high school student with lots of free time and am able to give your pets the most attention and care possible. I care for pets how I would want to be cared for with love and respect and I would give them lots of play time!
About: I’m currently employed at a local animal hospital, working specifically in the boarding department! Meaning my whole job is to be responsible of 20+ animals at a minimum. I have 3 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs throughout my experience, including sweet, energetic pups, reactive or fearful dogs, strong pullers, and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and understand how important it is to stay calm, confident, and attentive in every situation. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or needs a slower pace, medication, or gentle handling, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated and reassured. I’m pretty flexible! With school i’m mostly not available during the day but weekends and breaks i am happy to stop by and care for pets! I prioritize animal care above all! I am very aware of all animals needs and how i can meet them! I’d be honered to take care!
“April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!”
“Thank you Bernice for being so sweet to my little Peach! It was a really enjoyable experience from start to finish. Bernice communicated well and helped ease the transition to her care. We were able to book, meet up, and confirm the boarding within the week. I knew it was a good sign, when Peach started alerting us as we pulled up to Bernice's home. Peach seemed pretty excited to be back. During Peach's stay Bernice sent great pics. It was apparent that Peach had a great time in Bernice's big back yard and made good friends with Bernice's dog. I really appreciate the time and patience! Thank you again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad I found Jesseeka. She was very responsive and sent us photos and updates. When we picked up Bella, she was super excited and I can tell she loved Jesseeka. I will definitely use Jesseeka's services again. Thank you so much.”
“This is the 2nd time Cassidy has sat for Honey! I loved her so much the first time I couldn’t think of anyone else I’d want to watch her. She sends updates and pictures or videos every day and takes really good care of my fur baby! Thank you Cassidy for taking such good care of my baby!”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have three dogs of my own. Two girls and one boy. I also have worked at a pet store for the past 2 years providing pet care to 40+ puppies on a daily basis. Each of them are loved and cared for as if they were my own and I’ll be sure to do the same for yours! ❤️🐾 Because I work full time I only have two-3 days available for my provided services. Those days are usually Tuesdays and Fridays each week :) My pets free roam the house but I have a doggy gate blocking the steps or any “unsafe” areas. I also have pet cameras placed in the main parts of my home. And bedroom doors are always closed for their safety 💖
“Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. I enjoy building trust with each animal and tailoring care to their individual personality. We lost our beloved boxer Duke on Black Friday 2025 after a bout with an aggressive lymphoma. I miss having our buddy around, but I'm not ready to own another dog yet. I need some time to heal. I figured I would bridge the gap, by walking and watching other people's pups. I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and dependable availability for walks and drop-ins, including daytime visits and occasional last-minute needs. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. During visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and attention based on your pet’s personality and energy level. On walks, I prioritize safety, consistent pacing, and giving your dog a chance to enjoy exercise and stimulation. I also make sure your home is secure before leaving and will provide updates so you know how your pet is doing.
“Jasmine was wonderful! This was my first time letting anyone keep my baby and she did an excellent job. Golden loves her. She provides him with a loving environment and great care. I am recommending her to all my friends. I am definitely going to be using her again to care for my baby. THANK YOU SO MUCH JASMINE❤”
“Alisha was great with our 7 yr old coonhound, Beau!! Highly recommend. We had a situation where we needed to book an overnight boarding last minute and she was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our pup got along great with her and her pets. We could tell he was very comfortable there. She kept us updated throughout his visit, which is always greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely be rebooking when in the area :) thanks Alisha!!”

Lake Station dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Serena and her family while our dog, Stella, stayed with them for eight days. From the start, it was clear Stella was in a warm and welcoming environment, and she quickly settled right in. Serena and her family were incredibly kind and gracious, and it really showed in how happy and comfortable Stella was during her stay. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for and treated like part of the family. One of the highlights was that Stella even came home having learned a few new tricks! It’s obvious that Serena goes above and beyond, not just looking after the dogs but actually spending quality time with them. We’re very grateful for the care Stella received and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Serena again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!
