“Yi took wonderful care of our dog. We got frequent updates and lots of photos on walks and eating. This was our first rover, so our dog got quite stressed being in a new environment but Yi did a really great job of taking care of him during that time. She was very thoughtful for our dog and stress mess he made. We really appreciate her for that.”
“Katerina and Roland took excellent care of our dog for us for a weekend trip. They sent us photos and videos of Lucy having a great time and were easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.”
“Elizabeth and Rodrigo were absolutely amazing with Bruno over Christmas break. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated, treated him like one of their own, and went above and beyond. I could not recommend them enough!!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“We have been boarding our dog numerous times since 2017. Stefan and Elvia are among a few people we trust to leave our dog with and we including our dog absolutely love them. Stefan and Elvia treat our dog like another member of their family and always send pictures and updates so we will know what he is up to. They are also very flexible with pickup and drop off times. Highly recommend them!”
“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Jingjing is awesome, she sends lots of photos and took our dog Jun to the park often. Jun looked like he was having fun the whole time during his stay, and he was a happy pup when he returned to us. ?”
“Super responsive and communicative! It was my first time boarding Koi with a Rover sitter and Linda was very reassuring and bonded very quickly with Koi. I'd board Koi with her again! The only downside is that Koi came home smelling a little bit of cigarette smoke, but Koi did stay with Linda for a whole week and I know Linda only smokes outdoors.”
“Jonathan is an exceptional dog-sitter, our pet was very well cared for, exercised, and received lots of affection and attention. Jonathan was also very accommodating when we needed to extend our stay by a day at the last minute. Would recommend and will certainly book with again!”
“We feel like we hit the Rover jackpot with Andrew! Newton clearly felt very comfortable with him, and came home happy, exercised, and rested - just how he should be. We appreciated the attention given to him, the regular updates, and the obvious affection Andrew has for dogs generally! Not to mention his ability to take Newton on relatively short notice for a holiday weekend. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“My dog had an excellent time with Kaisi. Kaisi sent lots of pictures of her dog and mine at the dog park, walking in fresh pond, looking so relaxed and happy. Thanks Kaisi!”
“We had a great experience with Krystal. Thank you so much for taking care of Cooper and for sending consistent updates and photos throughout the stay. Communication was excellent. It gave us total peace of mind.”
“Rebecca was very communicative about my pup’s stay. She sent pictures and updates. It was clear my dog had a nice time and was well cared for. My dog is a little slow to warm up and anxious but she settled in well and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. My dog came home happy and healthy.”
“Kimm and Kenn are amazing! They watched our one year-old cattle dog mix, who is VERY energetic and curious, and handled her with aplomb. They took her for long walks every day, and sent great updates and photos all the time. They also had other dogs around, which was great for out Mochi. like a summer camp for our dog – highly recommended!”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! We left our dog with her over the holiday, and it was so comforting to know that he was being loved the whole time. She sent regular picture updates to make sure that we were in the loop! I would absolutely recommend Danielle, and would not hesitate to have her watch our dog again!”
Lexington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Aya was an amazing sitter. She communicated with me the whole time and I didnt have to ask for pictures because she already sent them! She was very responsive and understanding. I will be going back. Bluey loved her. Im very grateful she was able to watch her. Thank you Aya!
Aysegul and her husband took amazing care of our cat, Momo. She had a wonderful time and actually relaxed, played, and ate - all things that are very unusual for her when we travel. Aysegul shared several updates and adorable photos of Momo throughout the day, which really put us at ease and made it so much easier knowing she was doing well. We highly recommend them!
Yi took wonderful care of our dog. We got frequent updates and lots of photos on walks and eating. This was our first rover, so our dog got quite stressed being in a new environment but Yi did a really great job of taking care of him during that time. She was very thoughtful for our dog and stress mess he made. We really appreciate her for that.
Link and Ken took very good care of our golden retriever. I especially like that they take on walks and that they have a dog of some their own. Cindy likes to be with other dogs. Cindy is afraid of thunder storms and they were very patient with her. I will definitely use them again.
For Rover: Dave and Jess were exceptionally kind, thoughtful and professional, while caring for our 17 year-old dog, they even sang happy birthday to him when he turned 17! They noticed that he was stressed in missing us, which then turned into a UTI, which they’ve experienced, but we have not, I know in 17 years! So they contacted us and brought him to a 24 er which they had been to before and arranged for us to talk to them on the phone while we were on the other side of the country traveling. It all worked out great. We then picked up our beloved dog, Ferris and brought him home and he was no longer stressed, but still on the meds that Dave and Jess had started giving him. We cannot say enough, good things about their care and would definitely use them again.
Anne was absolutely wonderful with Toto! She took amazing care of her and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s very caring and attentive and Toto was so happy and relaxed with her! I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter.
We left our pup with Samantha and her husband for a one day visit, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Samantha is very communicative and you can tell that she cares for your dog like her own. Our pup Apollo had a great time with her 2 golden retrievers and came home tired and happy. I highly recommend and will be reaching out to Samantha again :)
Katerina and Roland were wonderful with our Rosie! They gave her lots of exercise and attention, and managed her initial separation anxiety well (as I could see her settling in quickly in the many pictures and videos they shared!). We would definitely use them again if schedules allow.
