3. Joscelyn P.

“Joscelyn and Ivan and their 2 sweet kids took great care of our little 8 pound Morkie! You can tell they love dogs and love caring for them. Joscelyn is a great communicator and sent many pictures to keep us updated. We would definitely use them again!”


4. Jennifer T.


“I was so nervous to find a caregiver for our Zoey. The reason is Zoey is a 3 year old epileptic boxer. Even though her seizures are controlled I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone to keep her overnight and be responsible for her medication. Then I found Jennifer on Rover. I set up a meet and greet and I just knew Jennifer was ready for the challenge. We set up an overnight stay while my husband and I had to be out of town. Jennifer sent so many pictures and updates. It was wonderful!! Zoey was in great hands and received amazing care. We are so thankful for her love of animals and for the more “needy” animals. Jennifer was a rockstar!!”


5. Stephanie M.

“Ozzie had the best care at Stephanie’s. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home with me! She treated him just like her own and I feel very lucky to have had found her. I will definitely try to rebook next time we travel.”


6. Karisa E.

“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”


7. Jessica A.

“My Theo had a great time at Jessica’s. He played outside, played with her son, and came home safe & happy! Thank you, Jessica, for taking great care of my boy. 🐶💙”


8. Agnatha W.

“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”


9. Erin D.


“Friendly, personable, caring personality. Although I told Erin, she didn't need to be keep me abreast about Bailey each day, she did anyway with pics/video and text communications. We were able to setup a meet/greet before booking which greatly helps. The fenced in backyard allowed Bailey to be free bc currently doesn't have that option. My first time using Rover and the experience went smoothly and much better than anticipated.”


10. Kelly & Ryan B.
About: I've been a dog owner since I was 12, however the passing of our last dog left a hole in our home. We aren't ready to adopt another dog just yet, but I would love to care for yours! We have experience with all types of dogs and a neighborhood full of friendly dogs that's great for long walks. We do have 2 children, ages 7 and 8. They will NOT be around during traditional "work" hours, 8:30am-5pm M-F, but will be present on evenings and weekends. They are calm and respectful around animals and won't be left alone with any pets. I work from home 5 days per week, and am home most weekends. I own my own company and only work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks or playtime. We live in a urban walking-friendly neighborhood, just 1 block from the River Greenway trail. There is plenty of space in my office for a dog to curl up and make itself at home. In nicer months, I work outside on our shaded open-air porch, and would love for your dog to join me!


11. Kristen O.


“Kristen is awesome!! I’ve left my dogs with her several times now and it’s so nice to be able to travel without worrying about how my pets are doing. She sends lots of pictures/updates and I always know my dogs are in good hands. She is incredibly kind and sweet! Best pet sitter ever!”


12. Nan D.

“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”


13. Rachel M.

“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”


14. Laura U.

“I am so glad I found this app to have met Laura! She was AMAZING from the very beginning. I have never boarded my dog overnight with anyone outside of family and Laura made the process for myself and my Legend boy so easy! I always go off how my boy reacts to people when he meets them and he felt very comfortable with Laura during our first meet up which gave me a peace of mind about the entire process. Laura communication was GREAT she messaged me with any questions and she also shared updates through messages and pictures of my Legend boy throughout his stay! Her response back to me was always done in a timely matter. She was just AWESOME and easy to work with. I will definitely be returning and would recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for a safe, friendly, loving place for their fur babies to stay when in need of a sitter💗.”


15. Madeline E.

“Madeline was absolutely incredible from the beginning of the process, to the end. She was prompt with responses when I inquired about her services, and she made sure to accommodate my pups particular needs. She sent me daily pictures of the fun activities, and based on my dogs demeanor, I could tell he felt right at home. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and will be going to her directly for any future boarding needs!”


16. Jane L.

“They were so kind and caring to our dog. They were sensitive to my desires to meet them and have Teddy get used to them a little before we left him. Excellent!”


17. Samanta W.

“Samanta was very accommodating and took good care of our two pups. She was very welcoming and listened to our tips and suggestions about the pups day to day routines. She gave us good feedback and let us know how they got along while we were gone. We would definitely have her watch our pups again.”


18. Kim L.

“I highly recommend Kim as your dog sitter! Kim watched our doodle during the New year and she was great on keeping us updated and also sent us pictures! I was a little worried trying to find someone I could trust to watch our fur baby, but as soon as I met Kim I felt confident leaving our doggy with her. Kim is also knowledgeable about dogs and will take great care of your fur baby.”


19. Mariah P.


“Did a great job! My dog got a long great with her dog. She was attentive to the medicine he needed. She even replaced the dog food her dogs ate. She sent pictures and did well communicating.”


20. Amara L.


“So thankful for all the updates and pictures! It was my first time leaving Louie somewhere and Amara made me more relaxed knowing he was having a good time ☺️”
