A typical day

We believe it is important for dogs to not only have physical exercise but also mental exercise all thru play! We would love to allow them to walk the neighborhood and check out all the sites. They can sniff/smell-bark- jump-walk-run All thru play! Yes, even tug-of-war and fetch toys!

Ms. Tonya is an absolute angel. This was our first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous, but even our first message exchange felt like a warm hug. 12/10 recommend Ms. Tonya and her family to take care of your doggie! 🐾

Dobby had the best vacation with Tonya. While he was glad to see me when I came back, he was hesitant to leave her, too, so I think that's pretty high praise from him.

Tonya and family was AMAZING! I would definitely use her again. I received pictures and updates of my fur baby.

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.
