“Rita is a fantastic person to trust with your dog. She clearly cares and loves all of the dogs she watches. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with pictures and videos. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for dog sitting needs!”
“Katie was amazing and took superb care of my pup Bear. She was super accommodating and responded quickly each time! I would absolutely use her again! Thanks again Katie!”
“Olivia was very wonderful and patient with our mastiff and our schnauzer. She would send daily photos and would respond quickly whenever I had any questions about my pets. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely book her again.”
“Elisabeth was absolutely amazing! Leaving my Great Dane, Blueberry, for the weekend was so hard, but she made the entire experience so much easier for both of us. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell how much care and compassion she puts into what she does. She treated Blueberry like he was her own, which is no small task because he’s not the easiest dog to handle. Elisabeth kept me updated with the pictures and videos that made me feel continually comforted while I was missing him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Blueberry’s happiness and comfort, which gave me so much peace of mind during my separation anxiety. What truly stood out was her extraordinary level of care. When Blueberry got up in the middle of the night, Elisabeth didn’t just leave him on his own—she went out to the couch and slept with him to make sure he felt secure. That thoughtful, empathetic gesture is more than I ever could have expected. I couldn’t be more grateful for Elisabeth and everything she did for Blueberry and me this weekend. She went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so excited for the chance to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much again Elisabeth!”
“It gives me such peace of mind to see how comfortable Sheldon is staying with Adriene and her two dogs. I love the daily updates and pictures of Sheldon taking walks, playing and napping in comfy spots. This has worked out so well for us!”
“My dog LOVES going to Joseph’s house. She knows when we’re nearby and gets so excited in the car. It’s like camp for her. Joseph sends the best updates, photos, and videos and he will love your dog like his own.”
“Tariq was a fantastic Dog sitter and made sure Bella our Lab got lots of exercise and had plenty of fun while we were away. Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”
“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”
“Ashley took good care of my little guy. He seemed very happy when we returned. She gave us daily updates and pictures and, again, Cooper always looked happy. Our usual pet sitter wasn't available so I needed to find a backup and was really nervous, but I'm happy to say it worked out great.”
“Sara is the best! She is kind, fun, and loving! Mina loves to be at Sara's house as she never cries to leave once left at Sara's home. She also loves Sara's dog, Penny. It is heartwarming to see how they play together. I know Sara takes good care of Mina as she communicates with me on a regular basis as to how Mina responds to her care. We have a good working relationship and Mina clearly loves to be with Sara and her family! Can't wait until the next visit! I know I can count on Sara to treat Mina as her own.”
“Alberta was amazing with our senior dog! She sent pictures and updates and has excellent communication. I could tell she paid close attention to our dogs moods and needs during her stay. I really appreciate Alberta and highly recommend her!”
“First I wanna say, I never left my fur baby with anyone.. From the first hour I got lots of pictures and reassurance. They did a really amazing job and I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Jenning was great through this whole process. This was my first time using rover and leaving Nipsey with anybody. She was very helpful and knowledgable prior to booking and during his stay. She kept me updated with both pictures and videos and was easy to communicate with. She also gave me a list of things to pack prior to arriving and gave me a few pointers and suggestions for new things to order. Highly recommend Jenning to anyone looking to book, she cared Nipsey like her own.”
“Bernice had a great stay with Nick and Katie! She came home happy and tired which are the two best things for a pup! Nick was great with updates and pics during her stay and very flexible with pickup and drop off which we appreciated! Will definitely reach out for future stays!”
“Best sitters ever! I felt so comfortable having Nathan & Meredith watching my sweet Lacey. They sent so many pics and updates - I felt like I was right there with her. My dog gets pretty anxious in new places, but she was immediately at home and snuggling with them. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love dogs so much and am excited to get to know yours. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. We aim to walk about two miles a day and would love for your pup to join us! Dogs are allowed on couches and on the bed here. I have experience with different types of needs - food motivation, diapers, medicine, etc. Let me know what your pet needs to feel at home! I work from home five days a week. My dogs need frequent care, so I can provide frequent care for yours as well! Dogs are embedded into my weekly routine. I have a (soon to be fenced in) yard that my dogs often explore. We have walking paths around the neighborhood we use just about every day! We have a spacious home and plenty of room for another friend :)
“Courtney was awesome from start to finish! My dog was legitimately excited to be there and she kept me in the loop with pictures throughout his stay! It felt safe and comfortable and he came home absolutely exhausted the next day! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“I’ve used Becca several times, and would never hesitate to have her watch my 2 beagles, which I know can be overwhelming, especially with one who requires who rx eye drops routinely throughout the day. She’s incredible!”

Newport dog parents share their Rover experiences
Madison took care of Brogan for six days and she did an excellent job. Brogan came home happy so I could tell things went well while he was at Madison’s house. She was timely for Brogan’s drop off and pick up and fed him according to the plan. Brogan will be staying with Madison again in September and I know Brogan will enjoy his time with her and he will be well cared for.
I was very extremely satisfied with the boarding services provided by Samantha and her family. My labrador pet "Lego" had a great time during his boarding. Samantha has a nice fenced backyard to provide a nice work out and play for the dogs and her dog "Tank" was a great company for Lego. She kept us updated with photos and how the day was with our pet. Would definitely leverage her service on my next boarding requirement.
I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to watch my boy on his first time boarding. Tommy and Bri were amazing and there fur babies where sooo welcoming to my Lt Day. They even took the time to send pics and links the updates on who Day Day was doing. We will definitely be return customers if they will have us 😂🥰
