“Alexis E. Did an amazing job. I chose her for her ratings and she delivered! Communication was exceptional. Libby (my goldendoodle) got to socialize with peers and was in 'dog heaven' with Alexis. Loved that Libby had huge fenced area to run and play! Alexis was a treasure!”

“"Heather was absolutely wonderful with Lucky! It’s never easy leaving him, but she made me feel so comfortable. He was well-loved and well-cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!"”

“Nan and her husband did a wonderful job watching our senior dog overnight. This is the first time I've left her with strangers and I was very anxious. Nan sent picture updates every couple of hours so I could relax and enjoy my trip.”

“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dogs with Jennifer. She was incredibly caring of our pets and took them into her home like her own. She kept us up to date with photos and messages, and we could tell our pets were having a ton of fun. Above all, we had absolute peace of mind while being out of town and would love if Jennifer could help us again the future. Thank you!”

“Cassandra did a great job taking care of Banjo for two nights. Communication was excellent (photos and videos, along with messages about how he was doing), and Cassandra was willing to accommodate drop-off and pickup requests to fit my schedule for the weekend. I have always been apprehensive about boarding my dogs at a kennel if I have to go out of town for more than one night. Cassandra made Banjo feel at home and kept him in a normal, relaxed environment and routine.”


About: We provide residential boarding in both our house and finished barn depending on availability and needs. You can schedule a tour. Drop off and pick up time as early as 7am and 11pm. Playtime in the yard is included. You can pay extra for a daily walk. Charged a flat rate per night. Updates available during stay. All dogs are welcome small, big, young, old, friendly, and we are also capable of caring for aggressive dogs. As a family business, my wife Valerie is home during the day to care for clients and I’m home in the evening and weekends to assist. Client needs are met with compassion and knowledge. Care is discussed in detailed and documented. Updates are sent as requested. Dogs in the house must be able to be crated, otherwise the large indoor/outdoor runs in the barn are a better option.
“This was our dog's 2nd stay with Lindsay. Bella came home very happy and well cared for. Lyndsey gave me a daily update with Bella's schedule. I am very pleased and, if Lindsey is willing, will return. Thanks so much!!”

“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”

“Joscelyn does a very good job with my dogs. They are always happy to go to her home and play with her kids and the other dogs. They always seem very happy and they are excited to get some play time.”
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

“Tiffney was very flexible about our arrival time when we were very delayed and I really appreciate that. She made a very good connection with our dog right away, and sent us daily updates.”

“Very nice and very sweet! My dogs are pretty anxious but they were more than fine with her! Heard they got a lot of cuddles and play time which shows with how tired they are at home! Appreciate how much my dogs were loved !”

“We had a great experience with Millie for the weekend. She sent a lot of photos and updates and took great care of our dog. He got a lot of treats and love and came home clean and rested and very happy. We will certainly book with her again if the situation arises.”

“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!”

“Jennifer has been awesome and very caring. She has been sharing pictures and giving us updates. We’re very happy that Rocky has a place to crash when needed. For sure I would recommend her to everyone.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I could remember, I personally have a dog named Baxter that I have taken care of sense I was 14 years old. I have taken care of a newfoundland poodle mix named Arlo for the past two years as well. I am currently training in my off season as a professional hockey player. I have two months off and nothing but love to give for dogs. I am in need of a summer job and this would be the perfect fit! Pet/animal care and safety is my number one priority. I know from personal experience what it is like when someone does not care for your pet when paid and expected to. I no longer use boarders because of past traumatic experiences and because of opportunities like Rover.
“Sara was amazing! I had another Rover in place for my trip over the holidays that fell through at the last minute. Sara answered my call for help immediately! (Not kidding — like within 5 minutes) I took Simon to the Vet a few days before I left to find he had an ear infection. Sara had no problem with needing to give him meds. She was a lifesaver. She’s bright and understanding and flexible, and she made sure Simon would get along with the other puppers in the house, introducing them slowly. She took great care of Simon and sent me updates and pictures. Thank you, Sara!!”

“Alexx was a life saver! She was a complete stranger to us when we first met but after a walk through visits, we 100% felt comfortable having her take care of our 3 dogs. We were able to keep our fur children at home and have her come for visits. She let them out multiple times a day, feed them and administered their medications. She was respectful, kind and caring to our babies and I strongly recommend her to everyone! I would giver her 10 stars, if it was an option.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I watched my neighbors dogs for years, and have cared for my own pets as well! I am trying to start somewhere to grow as a pet sitter. I currently work full time, however if I have any animals to care for I am hoping to make that a priority and make that my full time job. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 dogs of my own. I have experience with cats as well, I have 2 cats of my own.
“For my first time ever using Rover, Carli is a great option! She sent lots of photos and multiple updates, which i greatly appreciated! Will definitely be booking with carli again! Loved the experience!”

Kimeryn was so wonderful with my Pyrenees, Willow. She provided updates daily to let us know how Willow was doing. She made Willow feel like a part of her family immediately. Willow got a bath while she was there and she looks incredible! I would book her again in the future!
