“Alyssa was amazing. She was kind, communicative and so so so great and communicative. I was stressed to part with Channing; but Alyssa was so wonderful and let me ramble on and on until I was ready to leave. She sent plenty of updates to ease my stress. Would highly recommend! Thank you thank you again!”
“We scheduled Lavinia for a last minute trip out of town and are so glad we did - she was incredible and our three animals had the best time. One of our dogs is somewhat anxious but it was clear from the pictures that she felt super comfortable with Lavinia. We will definitely use her pet sitting services again!!”
“This is the 2nd time that Ona was watched our dog and he loves her so much! We didn’t have to worry at about him at all when we went on vacation, and we came back to a clean house!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Mushu was very well cared for while we were out of town for a week. Dominic provided us a great piece of mind and we knew that our high-energy dog had all of his needs met!”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”
“5 Stars! Nikole was a very attentive and loving caregiver for our fur baby. She followed our instructions meticulously and gave us frequent updates with lovely photos. We will definitely be rebooking with Nikole.”
“John did a terrific job house sitting for us with our dog Ottie. He was responsible and communicative, and kept us well-informed throughout our trip. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of every kind since the summer of 2016. Family and friends have come to me to care for their fur babies when needed. If boarding , please note there are 3 children in the home ages 6,7,8 and 2 cats who’s shots are up to date as well ( the Yorkie in my first to photo is my late MJ, the other photos ,are of pups I’ve boarded/have done drop in visits over the last few months ) I currently don’t work right now , so I’m open to most schedules that I’m given .I offer discounts to veterans and/or pet owners with disabilities as well 🙏🏽 30$ for 2 -15 minute walks per day , plus feeding and play time if needed. MESSAGE FOR RATES AND DETAILS Your fur baby is guaranteed love and absolute care 💙🙏🏽 If needed I will walk them or bathe them. If yard is fenced in, I let them out a couple times during the day, feed them at allotted times or when needed. It also depends on the level of care your pet needs
“Anna was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and it was an extremely last minute situation — Anna was able to accommodate our needs and did a great job watching Chubb! She sent lots of updates with pictures and gave him all the love. We were admittedly a little nervous at first, again just since this is the first time we had a stranger watch our animal and stay in our house — but we could not have been happier with the outcome of this! She was also quite tidy and cleaned up very well, I will definitely be using this service / her again in the future :)”
“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”
“Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.”
“Nikki did such a great job watching Lakota! She took the time to come over and do a lengthy meet n’ greet so we were able to get to know each other and we could share details about Lakota. When we arrived back home the house was clean and Lakota was calm and I could tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Nikki for all of our dog watching needs in the future!”
“Moriah was professional and made certain my two dogs were properly cared for. One of my babies is 16+, blind, and needy. Moriah was able to address his needs and asked questions for clarification when necessary. I am hoping Moriah will accept future requests!”
“I thought to myself this morning how I barely worried about my cat during my five day vacation…. and it's because of Jada! She kept me updated throughout - let me know when she was leaving/going and sent plenty of pictures.. I 1000% recommend her! Thank you Jada!!”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
About: I had birds, a rabbit, cats, fish, and DOGGIES as a child. I’m an avid animal lover. As an adult I learned how animals are not only adorable but, in my opinion an absolutely necessary part of life. It would be my honor and delight to care for your fur babies with the same love and attention I give mine. I have a 6 year old pit/boxer mix named Storm. She is a special needs rescue and has given me so much more insight on animal behavior. Animals speak if we take the time to hear them. I work full time but, am available mornings, evenings, overnights and weekends. Monday-Friday before 10am. Open availability after 7:30pm and weekends. I may have additional availability if advance notice is provided. Since my doggie is special needs I can only do care in your home and will gladly follow your instructions. I would want to stick to your routine unless instructed otherwise!

Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.

Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Anna was friendly and accommodating. We had a great meet & greet with her a few weeks before the overnight stay. The dogs and cat got on well with her, and she was inquisitive and eager to ensure she had all the important information for taking care of them. While we were gone, she was reliable and communicative. She responded quickly to our texts and sent lots of pics and videos. The house was left in great order, and the dogs and cat seemed happy and content when we returned home. Overall a great experience.
Kate was an absolutely amazing sitter for our girl Islay—genuinely one of the best we’ve encountered on Rover, from our first interaction. She responded promptly, was delightful to meet when we did our meet and greet, asked insightful questions about Islay’s habits and preferences, and gave her one of the happiest weekends she’s had in a while! We got tons of great updates and photos showing Islay living her best life. It really showed in all of Kate’s time with us and with Islay that she both understands and truly loves dogs, and we came home to a healthy, happy pup, a sweet handwritten note, and a spotless house (not at all expected but appreciated nonetheless). My only regret is that Kate is moving out of state, but if you ever get a chance to hire her, do it!! She would absolutely be our new go-to. Thank you, Kate, and Islay sends her love!!
