“We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.”
“Paz did a 7day overnight with our dog and did an incredible job. She updated us on Skye and her fun adventures. When we returned home Skye was happy, healthy and our home was just how we left it…I would say better than we left it actually.”
“Chris was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog Bailey and even brought her dog over to play. Her daily pictures and updates were very welcome and gave us a sense of well-being while we were away. We'll definitely use her services again.”

“Katherine was great with our two boys and our bunny cotton! Our one dog can be very particular about who he likes and she did a great job with him! Both our boys can be a handful sometimes and we’re so grateful for Katherine, highly recommended her!”
“THE BEST! We had Joelle dog sit our pup in our home while we got married and he was in such great hands! She sent us the cutest updates and our boy was so calm when we got home! Would absolutely work with her again!”

“She was great with Bailey, hiking with her too. We like that she treats her as if she is her Dog but at the same token lets us know if she’s doing something that we haven’t discussed she would contact us. You know how hard it is to be gone for 2 weeks so we are happy to have Shanisa as another friend/family & dog sitter in our life she very trustworthy.”
“Kat was amazing. She looked after our dog for a night so we could go away. She kept us up to date with how he was doing and our dog had a great time with her. Would highly recommend and will be using her services again!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, which has informed my experience with them. I enjoy walking dogs and training them to learn new tricks. I know several dog training techniques, including positive reinforcement techniques. I can always make time out of my schedule to walk Fido or give Fluffy extra cuddles. I am available especially on Saturdays. When I'm spending time with your furbabies, it never feels like work. I care for my pets by making sure they have plenty of water and food. I also walk the dog frequently and make sure the cat has a clean litter box. For clients, I care for pets per their instructions.
“June took care of our two dogs for several days and was absolutely wonderful. She was clear and responsive in her communications before and during her stay. During the stay, it seems our dogs loved her and look to have had a great time while we were gone. We highly recommend June — and we look forward to working with her again!”
“Emily stayed at our house and watched our two large (120 lbs each) dogs and two cats while we were gone. She really did an excellent job. She was very communicative, sending pictures and updates. She asked great questions as well. The house was very clean, the mail was brought in, and most importantly, the animals were very happy and well taken care of. I definitely plan on booking Emily in the future.”
“Bridgette takes care of our elderly dog like he is her baby, which is just we do and appreciate that so much! We never worry when he is here with her and highly recommend this lovely lady!”

Longwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was amazing—super attentive, asked all the right questions, and made sure my pup Groot was well taken care of the entire time. She stayed at my home for house sitting and left everything exactly as I had it, clean and cared for. Most importantly, Groot absolutely loved her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend
