“Peanut was in the best of hands with Rita. Our flight wound up being delayed and Rita was so kind and understanding that we had to extend our puppys stay. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much!!!”



“Our pup, Hudson stayed with Olivia for a week. She communicated with us throughout Hudson’s stay and sent us lots of pictures of him playing. We could not be happier with her! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!”


“Katie was great with Gracie while I visited my daughter for family weekend at UD. Gracie had a great time and settled in perfectly, according to the pictures Katie sent throughout the weekend. Very grateful for Katie and her family. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Katie!”


“My doggo is always excited to see me, except for when I pick her up from Joseph’s. She has such a great time, and I feel comfortable going on vacation now. I know she’ll be taken care of so well. Thank you, Joseph!”


“This was my first time using Rover. Our stay with Adriene was wonderful. Sheldon has only stayed overnight with family or a close friend previously. Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”



“Our pups love Colleen and her family! We felt welcomed and at home instantly at our meet and greet, and it was clear that Lucy and Mozzie would be adored and loved on. This really helped put my mind at ease as we prepared for a long-for-us vacation. Colleen is responsive, caring, and well prepared for dogs, and is great with humans, too :) When I picked the girls up, I knew the girls would be missed by their second set of humans. I know when we travel again, Colleen will be our first call!”


“Shanisa was a true blessing. It was short notice and she performed above and beyond my expectations. My dog was (first time from home) was comfortable and happy in her car. I appreciate the quality time she gave him. I definitely will be using her again.”


“Patti not only helped us out on short notice, but she also was incredibly accommodating to a smaller, more nervous dog. Clearly she truly is an animal lover and the house is a great environment for pets.”


“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”


“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!!!!”


“Amaya did amazing. Jade was an excellent sitter (especially on late notice!). She was very communicative throughout my 5 days away which I always appreciate.”


About: As an animal lover your baby will become my baby for the time being spent with me. I have dog and cat experience of all sizes! I do work an office job from 8-5. I can come let the animal outside for a potty break on my lunch break during the week if needed. During the weekends I can accommodate any needs. I have a chain link fenced in yard and spare bedroom with a crate if your dog prefers some alone time. Currently the house is pet and child free.

“Lindsey was great! I got plenty of pictures and updates which were awesome! My dog seemed to just fit right in and loved playing with her family and dog. Will definitely reach out to her as needed in the future! Best vacation my dog could have had! Thank you!!”


“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!”


About: I’ve grown up w/ dogs all my life! I’ve had 2 of my own that have unfortunately passed & although I’m not emotionally ready to take in another dog fully, I thought this would be the perfect situation for me! I have a backyard w/ fence for them to play & run around, enough space inside my house for them to have their own back room, love going on walks around the neighborhood! I’m currently employed full time, work 3 days/12hr shifts a week so I have time during the week & weekends to play w/ your baby! I have a backyard that is fenced & there’s one small dog that’s always downstairs (sister in law lives in basement, owns dog) but if the dog I’m sitting is friendly they have a friend they can play with! Also have an empty back room that has a gate that dog can have room to relax in!

“Susmita was an amazing host for our dog tommy. She helped reduce separation anxiety for tommy quickly and kept us updated and sent pics throughout the day. Tommy had a good care & great time. We will definitely go back again!”


“Becca was so amazing , she sent pics during my dogs entire stay. he really was. enjoying his time with her, she also seemed to have calmed him down, he came home much calmer and listening a whole lot better. He is only 6 months and I was so nervous leaving him, but it was well worth it... Becca will always be my first choice with Rover.”


“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.”


“Thank you, this was are frist time using Rover and I'm grateful that we pick you. You are kind and welcoming and we really appreciate that. And you made me more comfortable with the pictures and videos you sent of ChaCha. Again thank you so much 😁”


“Our dog had a great time with Andy, Donna, and Jimmy! He was welcomed like a member of the family. Donna took the time to let the dogs meet slowly so everybody was comfortable. Received lots of pictures of my dog having fun! Definitely would love to book again!”
