“We are so happy with the care and attention that Valerie provided. We received regular updates and videos, and I could tell from her pictures that our dog was at ease and well cared for. Our dog is fifteen so we always worry about leaving her with a kennel where she will be crated most of the day. With Valerie, she was free to roam, got plenty of outside breaks, and got all the good food she was used to. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”
“We had a great experience! My pups were well taken care of, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them for the weekend. They were exhausted from playing with the host’s dogs and going on daily walks which is always a good sign in my book. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Amy and her husband were great. It was a last minute booking, and they even watched Todd an extra day when my plans changed at the last minute and I wasn't going to be home on time.”
“Our experience leaving our dog Marshmallow with Adam was absolutely amazing! He was really responsive and easy to talk to and was even flexible when we had to change our plans. He took really amazing care of Marshmallow, provided great photos + updates, and it sounds like she had a great time while staying with Adam. Will definitely be asking Adam to watch Marshmallow again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a loving, caring place to leave their pets while they're away. Thanks Adam!”
About: I have been taking care of all different types of animals since I was very young. My mom was a vet tech, she brought home animals to nurse back to health. We also fostered many animals. I found my love for animals then. Especially dogs and cats. I have had so many cats and dogs growing up its hard to keep count. I had had small, big and huge dogs in my lifetime. I have experience with dogs with anxiety and elderly dogs. I can administer oral medications. I have volunteered at shelters in the past. And I have also fostered dogs with several organizations. I have two dogs of my own that are both rescues. They both love all dogs and play very well with other dogs. Im a work from home dog mom. I am free for doggy daycare most days. I am also available for overnight stays and weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week or weekends. My schedule is very flexible. My dogs are allowed on the bed and couches so your dog is too. If you dont allow that at your home I will do my best to keep your dog off of the furniture. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. I prefer your dog be microchipped and up to date on all vaccines.
“Deb was so great with our dog! She ended up having another dog stay at the same time and we weren’t sure how they would do together and she was so patient and understanding keeping them apart when necessary. She even sent Mac home with tennis balls that she won’t let out of her sight! We’re so happy to have a welcoming place for her to go when we are out of town!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginebra! She did an excellent job taking care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Nardine was very accommodating. I had to sit with Nardine in the yard to let my dog get to know her. It took about 30 mins. But Sugar adjusted. Nardine thank you for your patience. I would highly recommend. I will be using her again Jean”
“Five stars for Susan! She was truly wonderful with our 9 month old Dachshund pup during a week long spring break trip. It is clear that she loves and cares for the dogs she watches and our dog seemed to have a lovely time with her. She updated several times per day with photos and comments about how he was doing. Communication was always prompt and clear. We received our pup back happy and healthy. She is great! We will be entrusting her with our dog again in the near future! Thanks Susan!”
“Vanessa is a phenomenal pet sitter who exemplifies professionalism, care, and passion. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving caregiver for their furry family members. She's an absolute gem and has earned my trust and appreciation completely.”
“Lynda took care of my dog, Beamer, for a couple of days. This was the first time I had to leave her with someone and I was so worried because she has separation anxiety. Linda sent me pictures and I could see that Beamer was very comfortable in her new surroundings. In fact, I was a little hurt because the dog was doing so well she didn’t seem to miss me one bit! I was so relieved and am very happy that, when I have to go somewhere without her, she is in good hands!”
“Julie and her family are amazing!!! This is the second time they have watched my LuLu. LuLu loves her whole family as if it was her second home. They take excellent care of her, send me daily updates along with pics🤗 I am SO happy I found her and her beautiful family through Rover.com I HIGHLY recommend Julie🤗🤗🤗”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years, and my 15-year-old Pomeranian is a very special part of our family. He has been with us for so long that I honestly can’t imagine our home without him. I’m also a mom of three, so we have a busy but loving family home where pets are very much part of everyday life. My kids love dogs, and we’re used to having a furry member of the family around. Having a senior dog has taught me to be patient and pay attention to the little things. I know that older dogs sometimes need a little more rest, more frequent potty breaks, and extra care and attention. We also travel to Egypt and Serbia every year, and my Pomeranian has flown overseas with me many times. I know how much work it can be to travel with a dog, and I also know how hard it is to leave them behind. That’s actually one of the reasons I decided to offer boarding. I’ve had to leave my own dog with people I trusted, and even then, I knew he acted differently because I wasn’t there. I remember wondering if he was okay, if he was comfortable, and if someone was giving him the same attention I would. So when your dog stays with me, I want you to feel comfortable too. I’ll get to know your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule and what makes them happy and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with pictures so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. We have a fenced backyard, and I’ll take dogs for daily walks on the beautiful 2-mile path around Stellwagen Farm, which is only a few minutes from our home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. To me, they’re not just a booking or another dog staying at my house. They’re someone’s family — just like my Pomeranian is part of mine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and am available pretty much all the time, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving home with a fenced backyard,and a finished basement. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most of the time and can give your dog lots of attention throughout the day. I also have a senior Pomeranian, so I understand the importance of patience and making sure every dog feels comfortable.
“Sim stepped in on short notice after an initial dog sitter arrangement fell through, providing immediate help during a stressful situation. Sim and his family welcomed our puppy as one of their own, ensuring he felt comfortable and at home. It was so nice to get regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay. This frequent communication allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. Sim is a highly dependable and caring dog sitter, ideal for pet owners seeking reliable, communicative, and compassionate care for their dogs.”

“Susseth took our last minute booking. She was very kind to our spoiled boy and provided pictures and videos throughout his stay with her. She was on time for an early pick up. We are always nervous boarding our little guy because he came back with a broken foot after being boarded before. He looked happy and healthy on his return. We would recommend susseth for anyone looking to board their pet.”

We will definitely use Kristen again!! Drop off was easy and it was very reassuring that we were greeted so warmly; something that made us feel more comfortable leaving our dog, Addison, with a sitter for the first time. We were updated while Addison was in Kristen’s care and really appreciated the pictures that were sent, reflecting that Addison was happy and enjoying her stay.
I was very comfortable leaving my pup Katy for almost two weeks. The house, yard, and family are all very pup friendly. I missed Katy terribly but the daily pictures and commentary made me feel much better. I will be very happy to use Kasha to watch Katy in the future.
Jennifer was great. We booked last minute as we had someone cancel on us and she was so easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates daily and was really nice. I could tell our dogs were well cared for and given lots of love. We will definitely be using her again.
Alexis watched my two dogs Scooby & Piper, and did a great job. She was easy to communicate with, sent regular photo updates, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. She was also able to accommodate us for a last minute booking, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
We left our 2 pups with Alyssa for an extended visit while on vacation and she did a phenomenal job! Our lab gets nervous/ has a bit of separation anxiety and also had an upset stomach while visiting and Alyssa stayed on top of it like it was no problem. Gave both dogs a bath, washed out their cage and did her best to get her to eat in very small increments/ kept me up to date with extremely quick responses the entire time. Will rebook with her again in the future should we ever need pet sitting again. My pups returned very happy and we loved getting lots of photos of them through our trip as well! :)
