“Our second time using Janet and Finn came home just as happy and healthy as the first time! Finn loves staying there and we’re happy to have found a great sitter for Finn!”
“Amy and her lovely family took Dude, my 1 yo male Lab, for a week. They assimilated him into their pack from day one and made him happy. She shared updates and pictures at least once a day. He’s a handful but they took it all in stride and with aplomb. I’ll def use them again for any of my dog sitting needs!!”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Atlas! She was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs, and I loved that she sent me updates throughout his stay. It made such a difference being able to see him happy and settled, giving me 100% confident that he was in great hands and being well taken care of the entire time! 🤍 Would recommend and book again.”
About: I have always loved animals and understand the importance of compassion, responsibility and trust when caring for pets. I volunteered for 10 years fostering lost and or abandoned pets. Fostering gave me valuable experience of understanding routines, medication instructions, providing companionship and attention to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take pride in being responsible and trustworthy. Pets are safe, cared for and treated like family. Available full time! Retired, no children. Neighborhood park within walking distance. Feeding schedules and medication instructions followed. Photos of your pet provided during your absence. Fenced yard. Child free home. Crate provided if needed. Retired, now spending the next chapter of my life doing something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about-caring for animals.
“I am so happy to have found Jessie last minute and she did not disappoint. She gave me updates on my puppy both days. And sent pics, I will be definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Rodeliza was amazing! Our puppy Marshmallow had the time of his life. She treated him just like one of her very own. I got some many amazing videos and pictures through out the day. 10/10 I would recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Very nice guy! My dog seemed to have a good time and had plenty of time to run and play. Sent me videos daily and very responsive communication.”
“Rebecca & Stephen went above and beyond to take care of our pup. I was actually getting married this past weekend and it was such a piece of mind to know that our pup was in the best hands. Thank you Rebecca & Stephen!”
“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away. Her house setup is perfect for dogs, especially dogs that enjoy hanging out with other pups. I truly appreciate her care for Reagan while I was away and recommend her services for anyone else looking for a reliable sitter to provide loving care for their pets.”
“Jaclyn was great! When I picked Yuri up, he seemed happy and very comfortable at Jaclyn's home. While he was in her care, she sent me photos and little tidbits of what he was doing and how he was adjusting to being with her and her girls. I was able to enjoy my trip because I felt that my Yuri was in good, loving hands. Thank you so very much, Jaclyn.”
“Had the best experience for my first time using Rover! Could not have asked for a better match for me and my fur children. Melissa sent pics and videos to keep me updated which I appreciated. I do think my dogs are ready to go back and see her and her pups already!!! I will definitely be rebooking with them again soon!”
“Davis took AMAZING care of our pup!!! He sent us so many pictures of our dog living her best life, going on walks, and getting belly rubs. She looked so happy in every photo. 100000% recommend Davis!!”
“Another great stay with Letty. I never worry when my pup stays with her. He always comes home heathy, happy, and tired from all the fun. Recommend 100%!”
“Rocky loved staying with Chris and Tommie!! He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing with their pup! I appreciated the daily photos and videos of Rocky. He had a great vacation with Chris and Tommie and will be back for more fun.”
“Ruby is the best pet sitter I’ve had. Ella had such a good time she wasn’t all that excited to be leaving! She loved Ruby and made friends with her little dog. I will definitely take her back to Ruby’s when my next trip comes up.”
“Mengqi has boarded my dog Donny many times since I’ve moved to Memphis in 2023 and she has been wonderful! She sends photo updates and my dog loves her dog. He gets really excited everytime we pull up for boarding. She was able to accept my request for Thanksgiving last minute this as well which I was grateful for. I would recommend her as a pet sitter!”
Lakeland dog parents share their Rover experiences
I wish it was possible to leave six stars because five is not enough to describe how GREAT Shelby's service was. Shelby was very nice/professional and very communicative. She sent many updates and pictures of Ocho while he was boarded in her home. Unfortunately, we ran into unexpected traffic/rain on our way home which delayed our pickup for Ocho and she was VERY understanding. Ocho actually seemed a little sad last night when we got home, I can tell he really enjoyed his stay. There are not enough thanks that we can send to Shelby she is so AWESOME. We will DEFINITELY be booking again!
auntie ty was amazing from the start and asked plenty of questions about my dogs to make sure they would be comfortable during their stay. she is very reliable and communicative, she sent lots and lots of pictures and videos. she made me feel very comfortable and i was at ease knowing my girls were safe in her care while i was out of town! will definitely book with her again :)
