“Thelma and her family took wonderful care of Sophie, our moyen poodle, for 19 days, while we travelled. Thelma sent us regular updates and pictures, which we so appreciated. We highly recommend Thelma and will definitely be leaving Sophie with her again.”

“Awesome experience for Bentley and us! Frances texted us daily and sent us pictures of our little dog. Her home was warm and inviting and she had a huge, fenced in backyard for Bentley to play in. We will most definitely use her in the future!”

“Beth was amazing. We have probably never felt at such ease when leaving our puppies behind when we travel. She updated us daily and sent pics of them having the time of their life. Highly recommend and will use Beth again when we travel. 🐶💯”

“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”


“Abby was amazing! Was such a last minute booking and I was so nervous. Did a meet and greet first and Batman and her got along great. She eased all my worries. Sent me update videos and photos all the time! Will definitely reach out to her again. 😊”

“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”
“Viktoryia was flexible and accommodating with our tight travel schedule and kept us updated with plenty of photos while we were away. Finn looked happy and well cared for. Thank you!”

“There are truly no words to describe how amazing rebecca is — she’s the absolute best of the best! From day one, she’s gone above and beyond in every single way and has genuinely become part of our family. Our dog lights up the second she sees her, and that says it all. She doesn’t just care for our pup — she loves her, spoils her, and treats her like her own. The level of kindness, reliability, and heart she puts into what she does is unmatched. We never worry for a second when our dog is with her because we know she’s getting the same love and attention she gets at home — maybe even more! She sends thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and always pays attention to the little details that make such a difference. People like her are one in a million, and we feel unbelievably lucky to have found her.”


“I had such a great experience! They sent me several photo updates, and my dog looked very happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I felt very at ease leaving him with them and will definitely be booking again.”

“Kendal and Demardre went out of their way to be flexible and understanding when I had to cancel last minute because of an emergency. Our meet and greet beforehand made me feel truly at ease, and Clifford was instantly comfortable and happy. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out, and I’m looking forward to booking with them again soon!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve raised my own dog since she was 2 months old—she’s now 12—so I understand every stage from puppy energy to senior comfort. I also grew up with family dogs and have even helped two dogs deliver puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborns, mama dogs, and special care needs. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. As a bilingual toddler mom with a naturally nurturing style, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Your pet will get kindness, consistency, and the same level of attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a full-time single mom, and my son absolutely adores animals—we spend a lot of time outdoors, going for walks, playing, and staying active. Adding your dog to our routine is easy and enjoyable for us. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m already in a rhythm that allows your pet to get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In my home, pets follow a loving and consistent routine. I provide food twice a day (or according to your dog’s usual schedule), plenty of potty breaks, and a safe, cozy space to rest. My own dog has her own beds and crate, and visiting pets get the same comfort and structure. There’s lots of playtime, outdoor time, and of course plenty of hugs and attention. I make sure every dog feels relaxed, cared for, and included as part of the family. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine exactly—feeding times, walks, crate use, and any special instructions—so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Michelle did an excellent job of watching WeeGee. We had an initial meet and greet so that everybody could get to know each other and WeeGee could get to know his surroundings. I had every confidence while I was away that WeeGee would be in good hands. And he was.”

“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”

“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”

“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”

“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”

Lakewood Ranch dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Amy! She provided daily photos and frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she treated our dog as if she were her own. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend her!

We are so glad we found Neha to take care of our little chihuahua mix when we’re gone! Neha watched her for more than a week, and we were always comfortable and confident that she was in competent, caring hands. Neha communicated regularly, with photos to keep us informed. We recommend Neha highly!

Kathrin was kind, professional, and very responsive. Her home is clean and in a nice neighborhood and our little Minnie seemed to have had a great time with her family. Kathrin took Minnie on walks and sent lots of photo updates. She takes very professional looking photos so that was an added bonus! Would highly recommend 👍🏽
