“Susan took great care of our 9 month old puppy. Our Sunny is full of energy and playful and Susan kept up with her!! Lol. She had her overnight/24 hours. She sent lots of pictures and communicated great. Thanks again!! Would recommend her to others!”
“Iris was accommodating and pleasant to deal with. She provided photos of our dogs throughout their stay. She provides the majority of things your dog needs and has a nice home to board your pets in.”
“Our 2 dogs (9yo black lab & 1yo golden doodle) have stayed with Holli three times. Every time, Holli has sent us daily pictures and updates of how our dogs were doing. She is a great communicator and we can tell our dogs LOVE staying with her. I highly recommend Holli for your pups!”
“Rosie had the best weekend with Brittanie and her family! She was loved and cared for like she was their own. Brittanie sent pictures every day to show me how much fun Rosie was having and communicated with me with how she was doing. I felt so comfortable having Rosie with her and knew she would get lots of attention and cuddles. I am already booking another stay. 100% would recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their fur baby.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends pets plenty of times when they are away, never really done an arranged agreement such as rover, but have been dog sitting for friends since I was 15! I generally walk my own dog twice a day, so if that’s something you would usually do for your dog I would be happy to do the same! Otherwise I can let them out frequently throughout the day. I love dogs so I try to be as loving as I can to them. Whatever the owners need for their pets I’m happy to do. I would only treat your pet with the care that I do for my own!
“Lisa and her nephew Eli were incredible. She updated me daily with lots of pictures and even a video! By the pictures, I knew I had chosen the right sitter. He was so comfortable and relaxed. They pampered him and spoiled him like he was their own. The updates far exceeded what rover requires and it allowed me to enjoy our family vacation. Thank you Lisa and Eli. I feel so much better now that we've found you!”
“Love love love Karla! This was the first time using this app and trusting our 3 fur babies to a new person. Karla is very sweet and caring person and our dogs loved her. We were away for a week and during this time we stayed in contact to check on the pups , she sent us pictures almost daily with updates. Our dogs love her and so do we. Will be staying our dogs with her again! Thank you ❤️”
“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”
“Megan is wonderful! Definitely we will see her again soon! She gave me updates and pictures of my baby’s! We find the right place for when we go on vacation our dogs have vacations too! Thanks Megan!”
“Mikalyn was a great sitter to my little girl Molly. She was open and honest about the stayover. Don't hesitate to use Mikalyn as she is everything advertised by her biography. Thanks again Mikalyn for being a great sitter!”
“As always, my kitties and my Chorkie - Henry - loved their visits with Cyd Marie. They are well-loved and cared for when I have to leave town. No worrying for me while Cyd Marie is taking care of my "kids".”
“Deanna is fantastic! She is very kind and really cares about the dogs she sits. I really liked that she wanted to meet our dog Charlie before her stay to ensure she is a good fit. Charlie had the best time with Deanna and her pups. Deanna sent lots of pictures and updates and even helped work on Charlie’s puppy school homework. We cannot thank Deanna enough, Charlie misses you!”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
“Kimberly did such a great job with Buster. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. Very good communication. He received lots of attention and was happy and tired when I picked him up! Would highly recommend and will use again!”
“Maria was so amazing with our little Paris. She treated her like a child. Took her to the park, gave her a shower, snuggled her and sent pictures daily. Highly recommend :)”

Lakeland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Piash was an absolutely amazing sitter for my two cats! He kept me updated with constant pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cats are usually very shy and hesitant around new people, but they warmed up to him quickly and clearly felt safe and comfortable in his care. I truly appreciate the patience, kindness, and effort he put into earning their trust. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommended 100%
She took my dog in last minute and made him feel right at home. She was incredibly sweet and caring, and it was clear my baby felt comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the updates she provided throughout the stay — they gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.
Kevin has been wonderful….He keeps me updated, and even in my exhaustive busy time traveling it puts a smile on my face and an added relief knowing Maxx is in good hands! Maxx even got a buddy in the way of Kevin’s husky and they go to the dog park to play and also share fun with Kevin’s family!
