“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”

“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”

“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”


“We've had our dog, Jerry, stay with Dawn a few times and she continues to be WONDERFUL! She takes such great care of Jerry and we can tell Jerry loves staying with her! She sends daily updates and photos of our little guy so we can enjoy our vacation worry-free. Dawn is definitely our go-to person!”

“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs. ”

“We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Khalyn! She took such wonderful care of our two dogs, Dolly and Pancho. Both dogs have very different personalities, but she cared to both of them with so much patience and attention. Khalyn sent daily photo updates, and it made us so happy to see how relaxed and content they looked while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ll absolutely be booking with Khalyn again!”

“Wonder with our needy and at times difficult dogs. This was our first big trip leaving our 2 dogs with someone other then close friends and we were very pleased with how they were cared for.”

“Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.”

“Rayann did a great job watching my dog! She kept me updated while I was away and I could tell my dog had a great time. She was very flexible with dropping off and picking up. My dog really enjoyed her fenced in backyard and I’ll definitely be using her again for future dog sitting.”

“We were really happy with Micele boarding our Leo and will definitely look forward in future dog boarding. Michele is very flexible in regards to pick up and drop off and we noticed she loves animals and took really good care of Leo!”


“She was very patient with my Bella and kept in contact with me the whole time. We were nervous because this was our babies first boarding she kept us informed. We could really tell Tamisha really cares about every dog.”

“Megan was fantastic with our doodle, Luna. She was attentive, kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the stay, and made sure Luna was happy and comfortable. We could tell Luna enjoyed her time with her. Highly recommend Megan!”

“5 stars! You can tell Sally is very attentive and loving to the dogs she welcomes into her home. She gave our energetic 1 year old lab puppy a great couple of days :)”

About: I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and energy level. I’m experienced with puppies (basic leash manners, crate routines, potty consistency, and positive reinforcement training) as well as senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra patience and comfort. What truly sets me apart is my focus on reading canine body language and creating a low-stress environment. I prioritize safety, structured routines, and plenty of affection so your dog feels secure, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for 10+ hours daily as well as full weekends. I maintain a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, feeding routines, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where dogs are welcome on the sofa and treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a yard, I provide multiple leashed walks throughout the day in the neighborhood to ensure plenty of exercise, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. In both my home and a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules, and I always monitor dogs closely to ensure a calm, low-stress environment. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their owner.
“Brynn was responsive and sent so many pictures. Our dog came back happy and tired from his walks. She also let him sleep on the heated blanket. Would recommend Brynn to anyone!”

“Karl provided amazing care for our dog, Roland, in his home, and he was very flexible with pick-up and drop-off - even coming to our home to pick up our dog. Roland came home calm and relaxed. I highly recommend Karl.”

Near East dog parents share their Rover experiences
it was my dog’s first time staying with emily and I couldn’t ask for a better experience, emily was super responsive and shared lots of photos and reassured me that everything was going well during my very long trip. when my flight home was canceled she was very flexible and allowed me to keep my dog there an extra day as well!! I felt very relaxed and at ease on my trip, knowing my dog was safe and loved🐾❤️

Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!

Chris and Becky have a lovely home and show genuine care and kindness for people and their beloved pets. I was provided updates and pics during Mae’s first sleepover. My girl is a shy pup and at pick on could tell she felt comfortable and safe. Very grateful for this experience.

I had a great experience with this dog sitter. Communication was always on point, and I truly felt I could trust them while I was away for a week. They were very loving with Mookie, patient, and flexible with timing. You can tell they genuinely care about dogs. Mookie enjoyed his stay, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

We had a great experience with Ellen this past long weekend. She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and made the whole process easy and stress free. Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Zahria was an amazing dog sitter and took such great care of Caine while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly made sure he felt comfortable and loved the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Caine was happy and well cared for when I got back, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Zahria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
