“Casandra was such a pleasure to work with. She was in contact everyday and sent photos and videos for us to see how well he was doing. My high energy puppy has such a great time with his stay. Highly recommend her services.”


“We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.”



“Traci was awesome! She took great care of Cocoa and I will definitely use her again. You should too for your pet and I guarantee you won't be disappointed ?.”


“Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.”


“This was my first time leaving my senior rescue pups with a Rover sitter. Alexandra was patient with my dogs and the time it took them to settle in, get comfortable and bark less. Appreciated her prompt responses and communication. Her setup was great for my dogs and she has a giant fenced in backyard!”


“Elizabeth is quite possibly the most caring person to watch your dog! She sends great updates and pictures. Our pup is always excited to stay with her!”



“Cory was very responsive and had great communication before and during Moose’s stay! When we picked up Moose after his stay he was happy and tired. He even got to meet new friends! Cory was easy going and handled my high energy dog well!”


“Loved having Karina watch Sunny while we were out of town. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos. I knew our pup was in great care and didn’t worry about her at all. Will definitely rebook! Thank you Karina! 🐾”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

“I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!”


“Jaden did an amazing job with Jax! Jaden was very attentive and accommodating, he treated him as if his own. I also appreciated the regular communication and updates with pics/vids! Jax had some jitters at first (he can be an anxious little guy), but Jaden’s patience, high engagement, and care soon brought Jax around to being the happy pup that he is. Jax truly enjoyed his stay with Jaden and I know the little guy would be excited to stay with him again!”


“This was our first rover experience and I don’t think we could have asked for a better one. Ashly took great care of snoopy and sent me some cute pictures as well. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely be back!”


“I could tell Coco was happy and well cared for during her stay. Jess was very responsive to messages”


“We had a great experience leaving our 11 month old mastiff with Sam and her family. It was our first time ever having to leave a pet with a non relative and they eased our nerves and lovingly welcomed our dog into their home. We are so appreciative of their love for our big puppy and if the situation arises, we would definitely use Sam’s services again.”



“Lucia was the best pet sitter for our kitty cat Sai. She went above and beyond and picked him up and dropped him off. She sent pics often and I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands. Lucia also just has a kind and friendly personality. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I am very happy with our experience.”



“My doodles had such a great time with Meagan in her home! She has a gorgeous spacious backyard for them to run and play in, which they LOVE. My boys always sleep great the night I pick them up, so I know they wore themselves out having fun! I’ll definitely keep using Meagan as a sitter when I’m out of town 🙂”


“Madison was great with our girl. She had a blast with the other dogs. We were hesitant about leaving her with someone but Madison sent lots of pictures and videos to reassure us that our girl was ok and happy.”

Lower Beaver dog parents share their Rover experiences
Loved having Karina watch Sunny while we were out of town. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos. I knew our pup was in great care and didn’t worry about her at all. Will definitely rebook! Thank you Karina! 🐾

Ashley did such a great job with my senior dog. She has a great setup with a doggy ramp and a fenced in yard. It is very obvious she is a dog lover and that is just the kinda person I want to entrust my fur baby to. Definitely recommend!

Julia was so great with Monte. She sent a bunch of fun photos and communicated throughout his entire stay. I appreciated how thoughtful she was about the hot summer days and making sure Monte was safe and cool. We feel lucky to have found her as a sitter for Monte and will definitely be in touch for future stays.

Elizabeth was a last minute booking for us after all our usual pet friends weren’t available. We were grateful to find her but even more grateful for how wonderful she was with Brody! We loved her updates and Brody seemed to settle in with her and have a nice time.

Always great communication and flexibility. Morgan is such a great match for Stanley and we definitely plan to continue booking with her!

Kaylie made our pup feel right at home, she did a great job keeping us updated each day, including pictures of our pet! Highly recommended!

Maisy had a great time with Joe! He has a great, cozy home and a big backyard that she got to run around in. Joe was easy to communicate with and took great care of Maisy. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Would definitely book with him again!

Ali was completely wonderful caring for our two pups! I was a little nervous to leave our youngest but everything went so smoothly! Ali would text if she had a question but always wanted us to focus on the vacation and not the dogs because everything was fine! She always sent pics though out the stay and in all of them my dogs had the biggest smiles so I know they were so happy! I was afraid they wouldn’t want to come home with me when we got back they had such a great time! Highly recommend!

Our dog loves going to Justin’s for boarding. He gets excited right when we pull down the street. He takes great care of our dog and always shares updates with us. He’s always the first dog sitter we ask when we are planning a trip out of town.

Mary is awesome and Willow had a great time playing with her dogs and loved the fenced yard. Mary is accommodating and Willow was very comfortable at her home. Already rebooked for a second stay!

I could tell Coco was happy and well cared for during her stay. Jess was very responsive to messages

Ashley was very professional and communicative. Everything went smoothly. It was over the holidays and we even got some cute pictures of the dogs with a stocking.

We were a little nervous to leave our Stella with someone new, especially someone with dogs. We've always brought her with us or had family watch her. After an initial meet and greet, and a play date at her house, we felt very comfortable leaving Stella with Anna. Initial impressions were great! Anna very clearly has a strong, deep relationship with her dogs, Ren and Shelby. They were both extremely well trained and behaved, which was a direct reflection of how much she cares about them. This structure was exactly what Stella needed in a sitter. She did so well staying two days and an overnight with Anna. Anna kept us informed on how she was doing with pictures, videos, and updates. She got lots of love, play, and cuddles. We wouldn't hesitate to have Anna watch Stella for us again! Thanks Anna!
