Safety, trust & environment

My building is dog friendly and many residents have dogs. Equipped with elevators if mobility is an issue for your pets. We have 24h doorman service and the elevators only go to the designated floors. I don’t have crates. If you require your pet to be put in one when I leave, please supply your own crate. For boardings more than 3 days, I offer Meet & Greet and will show you the building and the surroundings. I do not conduct tours inside my home, but can video chat to show you.

I truly cannot recommend Summer enough - she was an incredible asset to me the past week looking after my dog who was sick. She could not have taken better care of him or given me more updates throughout his stay. He came back such a happy guy and I’m so grateful. Highly recommend to other pet parents!

Summer took great care of my 12 yo collie. She was very communicative, caring and patient while he was not feeling well the first few days. Highly recommended

Summer was absolutely incredible with Tweed!! From the moment we left him in her care, we felt completely at ease. She sent so many thoughtful updates, photos, and little stories that truly captured Tweed’s personality and brought out his character in such a joyful way, it felt like we were right there with him. Her communication was exceptional: responsive, proactive, and so reassuring throughout. It was clear how much genuine care and attention she gave him, and Tweed was so happy and well-loved!! We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful sitter and would trust Summer again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

Summer is an excellent pet sitter. She has watched our senior (but active) dog for long stretches multiple times. Summer is very communicative, detail oriented and clearly puts a lot of care into making sure our dog is well looked after. I’d highly recommend her services.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
