“This was the first time I’ve used this kind of service, and was really nervous, but I couldn’t have chosen a better provider than MO. She was exceptional, from sending me daily pictures and videos, to text letting me know my two babies were doing great. Definitely 5 stars across the board ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”

“Jessica and her family were wonderful with our dog Jack! He seemed right at home at their house for the long weekend. Her kids paid lots of attention to Jack which he can never get enough of. We got plenty of updates over the weekend so we knew exactly how he was doing. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future!”

“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”

“Nate and the family were great. They made the process simple. We enjoyed receiving a couple pictures and a video over the 3-4 day stay. Once home, our pup passed out from all the excitement he had at Nate’s. Job well done.”


About: Animal lover who understands that pets are family. Ive always had animals in my home and have experience caring for my own and friends/family fur babies when they are away. I will provide a safe and loving environment where your pet will be comfortable and cared for like they are part of the family. I've cared for animals in every stage of life. I have extensive experience with cats including bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, caring for senior cats, and supporting pets with age related needs. I also have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. Open to hosting dogs in home and drop-ins for your kitties while you are away! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention throughout the day. Work is flexible allowing for lots of time love and activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play with my dog. When not outdoors our house guest will primarily stay with me in my home office as my co-worker and side kick. With lots of breaks for tummy rubs and head scritches of course!
“First time boarding and was very nervous but Angela was amazing and totally reassured me!!! she took wonderful care of my kitty and sent me little texts and pictures throughout the stay! would 100% book again and would definitely recommend her!”

“Our pup can be very nervous, especially in new places, but Rhiannon and Rachel did such a good job making him immediately comfortable in their space while taking care of him!”

“Terri was great! Very communicative , had attention to detail, was caring and very nice with our sensitive dog Pari. Pari also seemed very comfortable and happy with her. Will definitely book her whenever we need someone to watch pari.”


“So grateful to have found Crissy! My dog is a pretty anxious little guy and often takes awhile to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to Crissy almost immediately. He was already cuddled up on the couch with her just a few minutes after I dropped him off. Thank you Crissy for taking such good care of my boy!”

“Highly recommend! This was our fist time leaving our dog with anyone. Andrea was excellent, she kept us posted of his wellbeing via text, photos and videos. Grizzly looked well taken care of and happy. Will definitely reach out to her again.”

“Elizabeth and Christopher and their family took excellent care of our dog Bruce and cat Toast. They communicated promptly and kept us well updated while we were gone. I can tell our boys were well cared for, we would definitely use them again! They also made drop-off and pickup and a breeze.”

“Elle & Nathan were great! They accommodated us with short notice, were flexible with drop off & pick up times, and sent happy pictures of our dog, Peaches. Will definitely use again!”


“Dottie came home very happy and relaxed. We’re so appreciate that Greg gave her a safe and happy place to stay while we were out of town. You can tell he puts a lot of time and consideration into caring for the dogs that stay with him.”

“We Loved working with Kerrie N. at Rover!! Working with a 1st time dog Sitter for an extended stay (8 days) takes a little bit faith & trust in the caregiver Plus + the other reviews on the Rover website. After talking to Kerrie and meeting her, we knew that she would be Good! She was So sweet & caring for our beloved Baxter (Britney-Poodle ) but also able to handle our young & very Active doggie, keeping him involved with her own dog, plus a few other dogs, with Great playtime activities, walking, feeding instructions, etc. This is due to her Years of experience Dog sitting, Plus being a dog owner, + Gpreat set up in her home & a fenced in backyard. Kerry was both flexible with our schedule and sent pictures frequently as requested. Our Doggie was happy & healthy when we picked him up, which is always importan!. Overall a great experience! 👍🏼👍🏼 We would highly recommend Kerrie for your own dog sitting needs, and plan to use her again. Thanks Kerrie! 🙏 😊”

Merriam pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Ariel and Alex! They were accommodating, responsible, and easy to work with. They asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s routine and personality. Their dog, Ellie, welcomed Liesl right away, and they were enjoying each other’s company. They have a large, shaded, fenced, and well-maintained backyard. Ariel and Alex are genuine, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the dogs they watch. We’d happily have Liesl stay with them again.

I am so thankful to have found Kristy! She had taken such wonderful care of my dogs, been super responsive and communicative when booking and during their stay, and has been a pleasure to work with all around. She is clearly great with dogs and her love for them shows. I highly recommend Kristy and I know I will continue having my dogs stay with her when we are out of town.
Dallas may have enjoyed her vacation even more than we enjoyed ours 😂 Angie and her family took amazing care of Dallas while we were away. They gave her so much love, attention, and plenty of pets, and it was clear she felt right at home. Their large backyard was perfect for playtime, and their joyful, caring family made us feel completely at ease. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily trust Angie with Dallas again!

Kylee took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle while we were away for 10 days in Italy. She kept in great contact, sending daily photos and videos. She spoiled our dog by taking him on 2 walks per day, more than he gets at home! She cared for him like he was her own. I’d highly recommend her!

My dog Charlie gets so excited when we say that she’s going to Pamela‘s and will get to play with Pamela’s dog, Zeke. It’s so great to know that Charlie is having fun and attention when we are out of town. I never have to worry about her health and happiness. Pamela always sends great pics and has been so helpful and accommodating. I don’t know what we would do without her!
