“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”



“We learned about Rover though a relative and are very glad we did. We have used various other boarding services over the past few years for Sophie. They all have their particular strengths and weaknesses but the personal service provided through Rover is the best option right now. This is Sophie's second stay with Patty and we are very happy with her service. Sophie gets along and plays well with Patty's two dogs. This takes care of two things: Sophie gets a playmate and burns off some energy. Another advantage is that it is much more relaxing and less stressful for her to be in a home environment. Patty sends out photos and updates as well which not only show that Sophie is enjoying herself, but making herself right at home. So all around a good fit for us which we will be using again. Sophie is in good hands when she stays with Patty.”

“Kelli was great! Her home is built for dogs with a fenced in backyard and a bucket of toys! She sent lots of photos and had great communication. We already have our next stay booked!”

About: I have taken care of animals and owned them pretty much my entire life. I dog sit all the time for family and friends, neighbors even. Or, I should say I did. I am very new to the area, just 1 month here. I used to were I came from. I would love to continue! I take my own animals on walks multiple times a day, they're very friendly and would love some company on their walks! I have a cat and a dog so I won't accept unfriendly animals for anything but walks either. I live in an apartment building, I go on 5-7 walks minimum a day with my dog and sometimes cat. We have many toys and play lots. The animals are my priority.

“I was so happy I chose her for my puppies caretaker. She said he didn’t have any accidents while in her care (still potty training). He was happy for sure and snored on the way home. Rebecca was very nice and funny and seemed to love my pup as well as her husband”


“Joye and her husband Quinton took amazing care of our boy!! We dropped our 85lb Catahoula off with these two and their calm, caring demeanors made him feel right at home from the very first moment. They are very accommodating and it really felt like they loved having our boy around for the weekend! They took our preferences and instructions very seriously and were extremely comfortable with taking Mel for plenty of walks, both on and off leash, to make sure that he got more than enough time to exercise and play. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend these two. We will be booking again next time we are in the area!!”


“Tyler was amazing! Great communication and so friendly. She kept me updated on my pup with pictures and I loved that he was able to make himself at home in her place. I know Zack was well taken care of!”

“Derek did a great job watching our dog for a week. He has an awesome place with a nice fenced in back yard. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with him and will use him again in the future.”


“Gavin took such good care of our dog Tilly! He took her on walks and gave her so many pets. He was excellent with communication and shared photos with us. When we picked up Tilly she was as happy as can be. We highly recommend Gavin!”


“Melissa and Phil are fantastic and my favorite dog sitters! Bennie loves them and playing with their dogs Dixie and Winnie too. He must love being there because he can't wait to get out of our car and runs eagerly to their door. Melissa and Phil give lots of love and attention and send plenty of update pictures. They are the best!”

“Michelle was exceptional. We were in a last minute bind and found Michelle on Rover and Michelle’s Muddy Paws LLC. She provided exceptional care for our 5 yr old Springer Spaniel, Scarlett. Scarlett enjoyed her daily walks in the woods, the special TLC of the fam, and the comfort of having such awesome doggies companions. I would use her services anytime and highly recommend.”

Daniel J.
“Daniel is an awesome dog (and cat) sitter. We had him stay in our home for a week while we took a vacation to Florida. Dan took our dog Belle on car rides, walks and fed her her favorite treats. Dan kept us informed of her daily shenanigans. When we returned home she was as happy as could be and we felt she had been very well cared for. We would highly recommend Daniel and look forward to having him again when we travel.”
