What a life saver!! She was able to watch my dog last minute before me and my fiance missed our flights. We had another Rover sitter that was unable to take care of our Taz last minute and from the minute we dropped Taz off I felt like he was in good hands with educated dog lovers that knew what they were doing. It was our dog first time in another home and I was so nervous that he would be scared but she sent pictures and he got to go outside. Will be using her again for sure!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ?

Karen was outstanding caring for our dude while we were gone. She sent pictures daily and treated him like her own. She helped us feel completely comfortable and we are excited to utilize her in the future. We can’t be more thankful for finding her so close to us!

Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!

We highly recommend Christine for your pet sitting needs. She took care of our almost blind senior shih tzu this past weekend while we attended an out of town wedding. She is super responsive and easy to work with and fantastic with our little girl who has severe separation anxiety. She kept us up to date with how things were going and sent adorable photos during the visit. Thanks so much Christine and Jax - we are so grateful for your help!!!

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, I've cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, giving them attention and afection, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy! I work from home part-time, so this easily allows me to look after and keep an eye on your pets, as well as attend to all their needs. In my home🐾 i have a very friendly Frenchie and he would love to having a friend to play, i provide a warm and safe environment where your dog can feel happy! I stick to their usual routine, feeding times, walks, playtime and rest. Pets have acces to cozzy sleeping spots, and supervised outdoor time. I always can send you photos and updates so you can feel connected while you're away.

Brian and Kevin welcomed our 15 year-old littermates, Jesse and Jack, into their home for a four night stay this past weekend. They are senior Jack Russell Terriers with mobility, vision, and hearing challenges. Brian provided frequent updates and was ready to address any issues that arose. I have never felt so relaxed while away from home. It was clear before we even boarded our flight that Jesse and Jake were in very good hands. We will request Brian and Kevin again the next time we travel.

My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)

Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!

I really appreciated the pictures I got of my dog during her stay. There was even a fenced in porch so Molly had a chance to lay outside in the sun, her favorite pastime. Molly seemed to have a good stay despite her anxieties.

Erika is an amazing sitter and really is so attentive to our dogs. My Charlie is a terrible eater and picks at his food, Erika took extra special time to make sure he was well fed. I loved getting pictures, multiple times a day to be able to see my boys while I was away. I highly remember Erika.

About: I've owned dogs all my life and have dog sat in some capacity for family and friends for the last 10 years. I love dogs and treat each like my own. I'm reliable, flexible, and ready to work on short notice during summer. I'm willing to stay and house sit if my schedule permits. I love going for walks and hikes with pups and am not afraid to roll around on the floor for some playtime. I understand how important your pets are and will treat them as you would! I am willing to administer medicine if necessary and am flexible to other needs of your pet. Look forward to meeting you furry baby(ies)! I am a full time teacher. During the week I can let animals out early mornings and then am usually out of work by 3. My weekends are usually free. I will abide by house rules for your pet at home. If you use gates or electric collars please let me know. Happy to bring them on walks if needed.

Mariana was wonderful. This was only our second time using a boarder (or Rover) but we have only positive things to say. She sent us many picture, videos and cute comments about how are dog was doing and getting on with her boarding adventure. Mariana is very sweet natured and it’s clear she really cares about each dog in her care. Highly recommend her.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was six and started helping take care of them around age ten. I genuinely love having a dog around, and there’s nothing better than the companionship and snuggles. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to stick to your dog’s routine so they feel right at home. I’m a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule, so I’m home a lot and able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having animals around! They really fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, your pet will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. In my home, your pet will have a calm, comfortable space and lots of attention. I only have a caged rabbit, so they’ll pretty much have the house to themselves. I also have a large yard for walks and fresh air. My landlord has 5 dogs, but they live in a separate part of the house. Your pet wouldn’t interact with them unless your dog is comfortable and you approve it. They may hear them bark occasionally. I promise to stick to your pet’s routine as much as possible and adjust based on their personality, whether they want to play or just relax and snuggle.

Maria kept me updated throughout the day with photos and thoughtful messages, including details about how he interacted with other dogs and how he did at bedtime while he was still being crate trained. Her communication gave me a lot of peace of mind and I could tell she genuinely cares about dogs and I would absolutely book with her again.
