“We found Yan at the last minute when another dog sitter fell through. She was able to take on our 3 dogs so we could salvage our roadtrip! Our girls are timid and very high energy, but she had them walking along her happily and playing lots of fetch. She sends lots of updates and photos to keep you in the know. Our girls came home happy and wore out from all the play. Yan is a very good sitter and we will be using her again.”
“Kristen was great! We will definitely use her again. Very easy meet & greet, immediately felt at ease leaving our pup with her. We got plenty of updates on our trip and everything went great.”
“My little one had such a great experience with Polina. She was very kind and her family was welcoming. Throughout the stay, I was updated and sent photos. I will definitely work with her in future.”
“I had a surprise hospital stay and needed to find a safe place for Minnie for a week. Leah and her family were so cooperative, sent pictures every day along with some delightful comments. And she was so good to accommodate an early drop off and a few extra days. Such a nice home. Minnie went right to Leah which doesn't happen often so I knew she was in the right place. Will definitely use Leah again...it was a relief not to worry about my Zen pup.”
“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”
“Teresa is very friendly and has a very nice area set up for the dogs. It was a clean place with lots of room for Shadow to run in the fenced area! Will book with them again!”
“So glad I found Donna for my Millie girl! Great communication thoughout vacation. Highly recommend Thanks so much again! Virginia and Millie”
“Thank you again Erix! In town for family weekend and Erix was able to accommodate us at the last minute. Erix said our Coco is awesome and we think Erix is awesome too!!”
“Stacey provides great care and a comfortable "home away from home" for our senior dog. She provides timely updates and we do not worry when our dog is with her.”
“Susan takes great care of my dog, Gemma. This was Gemma’s longest stay with Susan and I truly appreciated the updates and care while I was out of the country.”
“Georgianne was a great sitter. She posted picks regularly and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She also responded very quickly whenever I messaged her. I would definitely leave my cat with Georgianne again.”
“She was Fantastic”
“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”
“Eden went above and beyond when she took on a last-minute request to care for our sausage dog, who's known for her larger-than-life vocal personality. Her passion for animals was evident in every aspect of her care. Throughout the day, Eden kept us updated with adorable pictures of our dog, which reassured us that she was in good hands. What truly impressed us was the thoughtful extras: Eden provided a detailed report card on our dog's behavior and even sent us home with a sweet goodie bag. Having someone as trustworthy and passionate as Eden to care for our furry friend was a true blessing. We are grateful for her dedication and will definitely be relying on her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Maypud was absolutely great. She kept me informed about Zeus and sent pictures and Zeus was able to play outside get water whenever he wanted. I would absolutely use her again when we go out of town. We can tell that Zeus had a great time.”
About: Hi! I’m Semaj, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Indee, my sweet and social pup who loves making new friends! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and have become the go-to sitter for all of my friends and family. Your dog will be treated like family here. We offer a safe, cozy, and playful environment with lots of love, attention, and experience including basic training support. Whether it’s for daycare or boarding, we can’t wait to welcome your furry friend into our home! I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully secure fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Great dog sitters! Adorable home in a convenient neighborhood just a few blocks from my house. Tana is pleasant, quick to respond and somehow got my busy Bentley to sit still for the perfect picture while I was away. Great experience.”
“I was nervous using Rover for boarding and worried about leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. Kelly was awesome! Her house is set up perfectly for dogs and my lab did fine. She has plenty of shade and doggie pools in the yard. She sent photos and was flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Our dog Moose was really happy and had a great stay for 3 days. Kristin was in touch the whole time and made everything smooth and easy for pick-up and drop-off. Excellent experience. Highly Recommended!”
“Lisa and Jon took care of my dog for a full week and they were excellent. Great communication, and regular updates with pictures, and our dogs seemed to get along great. We had no issues and I’ll definitely be coming back to Lisa and Jon the next time I have to leave town :)”

Lakeland dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was nervous using Rover for boarding and worried about leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. Kelly was awesome! Her house is set up perfectly for dogs and my lab did fine. She has plenty of shade and doggie pools in the yard. She sent photos and was flexible with drop off and pick up times.
Kristin was an absolute delight of a River! So unbelievably accommodating and a perfect fit for our pup! She sent daily photos and took the best care of him. We will be using Kristin for our next dog boarding needs!
Wonderfully attentive with Bella's care, feeding and meds. She has a wonderful pet friendly home with nice large fenced grassy yard for roaming and exploring. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
Mike and Liz were great, as were their two kids! Very communicative, flexible, and my two pups came back happy and healthy after an enjoyable long weekend. Thanks!
