Our dog Winnie had so much fun with Michelle! Michelle was very accommodating to our pick up and drop off times and she has a great space for pups to play! Would highly recommend!

Melissa went above and beyond with my dog, Buddy. She sent daily pictures with their itinerary. Buddy was spoiled with exercise and attention. I was able to fully relax on vacation. I could see by the pictures that he felt right at home. I highly recommend Melissa!

Lisa was amazing! We had to make last minute adjustments for a trip out of the country for my Ella to stay with her. She was patient and understanding. The best part is when I went to pick my girl up after not seeing her for 10 days, she was still herself. It's obvious that Lisa has a love for animals. I would recommend to anyone :)

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years. From border collies, Rottweilers, pit bulls, Australian cattle/Sheppard and various other breeds. While I am new to rover, I am not new to caring for dogs. I have had many friends entrust me with their dogs for days to weeks at a time. My wife and I currently have a 30 lbs mix breed named Riley. She loves walks on the beach and playing with other dogs. I have a large fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to run and play in. I also live in a quiet neighborhood with wooded trails near by perfect for long walks. Currently I am between finishing helicopter flight school and starting my new job as a helicopter tour pilot. My schedule open daily for pet care Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for your dog to play and run with my dog Riley. Since every dog has their own unique personality, I will be sure to learn their individual needs and wants. Whether it’s playing in the yard, walks around the neighborhood or walks on the beach, I will always make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable.

Thank you to Max and family for easing our minds, since this was the first time boarding Rocky. We were very concerned of how Rock would react. Max and his family was very warm and caring and Rocky was very comfortable (as were we!). Whenever we need to board Rocky in the future, we will definitely reach out to Max's family.

About: I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets. I have a full time job so am available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I work local so if pet sitting at my house, I can check in at lunch time. I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and great with cats and small caged pets would be safe with her.

This was the first time Jedi was brought to another home. He was very hyper and active when we first got there. But Jonathan did very well with him. He sent me pictures during the day and I believe that Jedi had a great time. When we brought him home I expected him to run through our house as if to say yay I’m home. But he didn’t…walked in and said I’m home, I had a great day! good night. I would definitely use Jonathan again in the future.

Ashley just watched my 17 year old dog for 3 days. So grateful She was able to take a last minute booking. Ashley is amazing with great communication! Jack was well loved and while staying with her. Our pouch didn’t even want to come home he had such a great time. I will definitely be using Ashley again!

My review of Holly is exceptional. I had a last-minute emergency that I had to attend to, and I reached out to Holly, and she responded very quickly. She was willing to meet up with me within 30 to 40 minutes, and experience and professionalism were a perfect match for my three-month-old German shepherd. I would highly recommend her.

If they had 10 stars I would give them to Meaghan. She is amazing. We left our havapoo Milo for 8 days with her. After seeing her reviews and meeting her we felt super confident and rightfully so. Milo had a great time. Her family is super dog friendly, loving, caring and genuinely want your dog to be comfortable not just watch him. The photos she sent were not just a snap shot but him doing the things he likes , like staring out a window(like he does at home) , sleeping in her husband's office while he works (like he does with me in mine), to running in the yard and playing with their dog. She gave our dog a home for 8 days not a kennel or doggie daycare(not knocking them) but this is different. I can't speak for other Rover sitters but Meaghan made a customer for as long as she wants to do this. Great person, great family, great dog sitters.. Thanks Meaghan for everything.

Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.

From our initial conversation I felt so comfortable with Jessica. She's very warm, kind and personable and my pup Xerxes enjoyed his time with her so much, he didnt want to leave! I would definitely hire Jessica again and highly recommend her.

Jessica was great! She took great care of my big guy (95 LB Mastiff/Hound mix) Frankie, taking him on several walks a day as well as making sure he got his daily medication. I received updates everyday that included pictures and videos. Frankie did have some separation anxiety but Jess made sure to spend lots of time with him to make him feel comfortable. Couldn't recommend her more!

Jess is the best and takes care of my dog the way I would. I know he is in great hands when staying with her and I feel completely at ease. This last time she even administered his eye drops without any issues and I’m beyond grateful for her 💗 Chexy can’t wait to see you again!! Thank you 😊
