“Kali was amazing with our pup! We had our dog sitter cancel at the last minute, and luckily Kali was available to watch our boy for us. She was so prepared and went out of her way to learn about his routine. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Our pup had a great time with her and we will definitely use her again!”
“Karla was AMAZING with our pup, Clea! She sent daily photos and updates, and kept her entertained and happy. Clea looked like she was having a blast! We came home to a happy, rested pup. Karla was very flexible, and she was able to deal with not-so-pleasant weather while watching Clea. We would definitely use her services in the future!”
“Meredith is the best! Ollie felt immediately comfortable with her and had the best time while we were away. Meredith was so easy to communicate with and sent regular updates with pictures and even videos of Ollie playing-I could tell he was so happy. I would highly recommend Meredith to anyone needing a home away from home for your dog!”
“Wow!! 5 stars!! This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but Markayla did an amazing job boarding my dog Riley!! Her communication was spot on and I received updates and pictures throughout the day. Markayla walked her everyday and I can tell Riley felt right at home! Highly recommend and I will definitely rebook in the near future!!”
“Love,love,loved Lisa,very good with our baby. She sent videos and updates everyday to put us at ease. Very professional and caring. She will definitely get our business always”
“Matthew was amazing with our dog when we had to make last minute plans to board before the holidays. Matthew was flexible and shared regular updates. He was very caring and our dog was very well cared for.”
“Demetrius watched our dog Taz and quickly became one of his favorite people!!! We got updates throughout the day about how well they were doing together. It usually takes Taz a long time to warm up to people, leading us to consider Demetrius a dog whisperer!!! We are so grateful for him and look forward to bringing Taz back to stay with him and Sebastian again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Im always nervous to drop off Adonis with anyone because he is very unpredictable meaning nervous. But Lia was great to him. Leaving for my daughter nationals so many miles away and she was great! Definitely will book again.”
About: I have taken care of various friends and families cats over the years and have two family cats. I love playing with them and providing a friendly face for them. I have also taken care of friends and families puppies and young dogs as well. I always treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own and strive to make sure they feel safe and loved while they are with me. I’m currently working part time so I have time to watch and attend to your animals any time of day. I am also available for boarding and sittings at houses when needed. I have a fenced yard in a family friendly neighborhood with no other pets in my home. I can crate your dog if needed at my home for boardings and they will have a comfortable space to be in.
“When we picked up Jackson, he barely acknowled us, which to us was very comforting!! He obviously got lots of attention and care and felt very much at home!! So sweet to see he and Barbs dog Bella kissing before we left! Thank you Barb for your great communication, photos and especially peace of mind knowing our guy was in such good hands!!”
“Chelsea did a PHENOMENAL job taking care of our Lany this weekend at Chelsea’s home. She’s punctual, very communicative, and treated Lany as if she was her own. She was thorough and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet, and we appreciated the frequent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Lany looked like she was right at home when we picked her up! We whole-heartedly recommend Chelsea for your dog care needs.”
About: I know how hard it can be to find a trustworthy pet sitter. I've struggled with it myself which is why I want to help others. My two dogs are part of the family and it's always hard leaving them with somebody. Luna our younger dog has anxiety and so we've learned a lot about taking care of a dog with special needs over the years. I work 10 minutes from home so I come home on my lunch every day to let the pups out and to give a mid day treat and I get home by 5:30/6pm in the evenings. I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs(females)to keep your fur baby company. My girls are not crated during the day and have the freedom to lounge on the sofa & play with lots of toys. Your pup is welcome to join them or could be crated if you request.
“Shoniece was our dog Nutmeg’s preferred sitter. She always took great care of her. She recently watched Nutmeg during a 2 week trip of ours where Nutmeg unexpectedly fell ill due to an unknown cancer diagnosis. While we were away Shoniece went above and beyond to take Nutmeg to the vet for an emergency surgery after she noticed she wasn’t acting by like herself and cared for her during recovery. She treated Nutmeg like she was her own and that was more than I could have ever asked for.”
“Alexis did a great job with BOLT :) He loved his stay there and cannot wait to visit again in a couple of weeks. For the first time in six years we were able to leave Bolt with a sitter and had consistent communication and NO SEIZURES!! Thank you again Alexis!!”
“I think Lois was my best Christmas gift! We had a big family trip planned over the holiday and I hated the thought of my dog locked in a kennel. I just happened to check the Rover site for the first time and saw that Lois was willing to take in a “guest” for Christmas. We set up a meet and greet because Lois also has a dog. I trusted her knowledge of dog behavior and she was confident the two dogs would get along. They were like brothers! During the stay, she spoiled Milo with extra attention, special treats and toys, long walks, and he got to be part of the family on Christmas Day. She sent me photos and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Lois - she does an amazing job and I look forward to taking Milo back.”
“Kera is a star sitter! She’s a clear communicator, sent just the right amount of updates, and is very capable. I especially appreciated her ability to handle my reactive cattle dog and trust her judgement with handling any special needs. I highly recommend her and will most certainly bring Aries back on my next work trip.”
“Sarah was everything we had hoped for, and more. It was our first time leaving Minnie with a stranger for four days. We were 100% confident that our four-legged child was in great hands the minute we arrived. This could be the start of a long and loving relationship! Thank you for the care and snuggles.”

I can always tell if Bailey enjoyed his stay if he's not anxious to leave. This was our first time using Molly but Bailey felt right at home. Molly sent photos to us several times and followed our instructions about his care and feeding. We will be using her again.
Theresa was amazing with my dog Winnie! I was nervous to go on a multi-week trip after our usual dog sitter moved away. I found Theresa and she was a perfect fit. Super experienced and communicative. She sent lots of photos and Winnie seemed super happy and comfortable. She also has an incredible garden that’s such a peaceful space for the pups.
I used to get so anxious every time I had to board my dog because she has separation anxiety. I would always worry that she wasn’t eating, sleeping, or adjusting well while I was away. But ever since I found Ian, I feel so much more at ease. Ian's place has a great yard and my dog has made new friends at their house and always seems so happy there! They take such great care of her, and their huge yard is amazing for the dogs to run around and play. You can genuinely feel how much Ian and his wife love and care about the dogs they look after. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is somewhere she feels safe, comfortable, and loved while I’m away. I’m so grateful I found them and would 10000% trust Ian with my dog again!
Kali was an extraordinary dog sitter for my very very anxious dog. My dog has significant anxiety which can be very difficult to work through but Kali was diligent and kind allowing my nervous pup to ease into a her environment. Kali gave frequent updates, pictures and videos, always asking if there’s anything else she could do to help ease the transition. Within a day my scared pup started to warm up and became inseparable from Kali. Not only did she have to deal with my pups anxiety but my pups eye drop regime! She did everything I asked and more, she exceeded my expectation. I can’t wait to use Kali again, she was amazing with my dog and just a lovely person!
Trishelle was great with my pet. She took him on short notice, when my sitter had an emergency and could not board him. I had a paid vacation already planned. Trishelle agreed to take him in on short notice. I received many pictures and messages on my week away. I have a senior, shy and very temperamental dog. The pictures put me @ ease. When I picked him up, he was well cared for. I can tell Trishelle truly cares for pets. I definitely would recommend her especially for boarding your pets for long periods.
Katie was absolutely amazing with Toby during his 3-week stay. We have previously booked Katie to care for Toby, and we were so happy to have her watch him again. Knowing Toby’s personality and needs, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Toby is a sensitive dog who needs patience, understanding, and a calm environment, and Katie provided exactly that. Her regular updates, photos, and thoughtful attention gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Toby truly enjoyed his time with her and was treated like a part of her family. Thank you, Katie, for taking such wonderful care of our baby. We are so grateful for your kindness, patience, and love toward Toby. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!
We had our pup stay with Christina for a week and he was in the best hands! She was proactive about having a meet and greet with her pup, she provided so much information, and the many updates were so detailed! I know our boy had the best time and there couldn’t have been a better place for him to have stayed.
This was my first time leaving my dog with a non-family member and was a bit nervous, but Cassandra did an amazing job and truly made me feel like my dog was in good hands! She sent me lots of photos and videos of him which I enjoyed very much. She took him on walks, played a lot, and overall took great care of Frankie. I would definitely rebook with Cassandra again if I ever need more dog boarding/sitting!
