“Pam & Jose are fantastic! She asks questions if she notices anything out of the ordinary & extremely loving towards our little guy. Leaving him with them allows us to travel with ease knowing our dog is in great hands.”
“Amazing sitter and such a great influence and environment for my doggy! He loved every minute! Definitely would stick with her as a sitter. Appreciate the daily updates and attentiveness to everything going on.10/10 ⭐️”
“Vanessa was such a great dog sitter for our dog, Teddy. She was super responsive and easy to talk to and Teddy instantly felt like he was home with her family. We will 100% be using her in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Alba is amazing! She took tender loving care of my poodle Jackson. She took Jackson for long walks and played with him in her yard. She even took special care of him during the Fourth of July fireworks as he was scared and she comforted him. She’s great about sending videos so you can see exactly what your little loved one is doing all day. I highly recommend Alba!!!”
“I'm really happy with the way Vanessa took care of Blaze while I was away, and he especially enjoyed being there and playing with her dog Storm. She kept me updated on his daily activities and was an excellent care giver. Will absolutely book again with Vanessa!”
“We are so happy that we found Victoria to watch Scout. We were concerned that our pup would be difficult to handle but Victoria had absolutely no problem with her. It was also New Year’s Eve! We received text updates along with photos of Scout enjoying the stay. Thanks Victoria and thanks Rover!”
About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.
“Denise provides an environment that Bentley loves to be in! I know he’s safe, getting exercise and lots of love when he’s there!!! She’s very easygoing and Bentley always comes back to me happy and well behaved! Couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Michael was an awesome sitter for my adorable playful (at times needy) puppers! I received daily updates and pictures of them having a good time. Michael had great communication and was very responsive which I was appreciative of since I was so far away. I'll definitely be using Michael's services again, my puppers had a great time :)”
“I really liked how Helen took care of Lizzi, she was always in communication with me and I received photos of Lizzi being happy at her house. I took a long trip with family and Helen was very kind when it came to dropping off and picking up Lizzi. She transmits confidence. 👍🏼”
“Judy is a wonderful dogsitter! Our dog, Logan, is used to spending all day with at least one of his family members at home, since one of us works from home. He demonstrates separation anxiety. Yet, he is happy staying with Judy! We had left him with her for one night in April, in preparation for our two week vacation in July. In July, when we arrived to drop him off, he jumped out of the car and ran excitedly to Judy’s door. She treats him with affection and he loves it! She works from home, too, so he is seldom alone. She allows Logan full access to her house, so he is never kept separate by himself but always knows where she is and can go to her. She has a fenced yard so he is safe when he goes outside. She kept us in the loop throughout our vacation, sending photos of him with tales of nice times the two of them were having together. Judy is a caring, responsible dog sitter.”
“I have never left my nervous, covid dog was anyone else before. Jenny was so quick with getting back to me and ultimately sent me so many updates that I felt comfortable on my vacation knowing that my dog was okay. Now in the future I know if I need some days where I will not be home I can send my puppy to a comfortable, loving home where Jenny's main priority is that my dog is having a relaxing calm time. I can't wait to talk to you again Jenny thanks!”
“Wenxu and her husband are awesome sitters. They are very communicative, sent a lot of good pictures, flexible, and created a great environment for our dog. Would 100% recommend them!”
“First time using Rover. Krissy watched my Cairn Terrier for 4 days. She and her family did a tremendous job! We were sent pictures of her acclimating into their home and family. Would recommend Krissy to all who are looking for a safe, healthy home to board their pet for a few days!”
“Kortney took care of my dog, Ghost and was caring, personable and very professional. Me/Mom instantly connected with Kortney and knew that Ghost would be in good hands. Kortney is top notch care giver and we'd definitely book with her again.”
“Karen is an absolute lifesaver…3 days before my destination wedding I had nobody to watch Candy. She drove in a rain storm to meet us and chat before booking and she made me feel so comfortable right away. I was actually able to relax at my wedding knowing she was in good hands and it felt like I had just left her with a family member instead of a stranger for the weekend. Highly recommend and will absolutely rebook her!”
