“Megan and her family were really great with our baby girl Sage. She has anxiety, but they made her feel comfortable while we were gone for 5 days. She sent us plenty of photos and videos and always kept us updated. And Sage made some new fur Friends. We will most certainly be booking again. Thanks Megan!”


“Jackie was awesome!! This is the second time we left our babies with her. The babies were taken care of very well and enjoyed themselves while in her care. Jackie kept us up to date on how the babies were doing and sent several pictures that put us at ease and let us enjoy ourselves knowing that they were having a good time. Would definitely highly recommend Jackie, and we will definitely hire her again.”

“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”

“Cristen Michael and their son were fantastic. I got so many pictures and they loved on my old girl like she was their own. They even were able to get her to eat while I was gone, which is not something that normally happens. I will definitely be using them again!”

“My baby was so loved and happy with Elisabeth and her lovely family that he was upset when I had to take him home! There was good communication and pics. It was obvious from the beginning that this is an excellent place to leave your babies. So glad I found this family!!”


“This family is awesome. They are well worth the money they provided so much love and support from my Rottweiler. He had such a good time and he enjoyed himself. I recommend this family to anyone that needs a pet that are because they are out of this world truly five star.”

“Skylar loves meeting new friends and thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Krystal is nothing short of amazing and if I could give 100 Stars, I certainly would. Seeing daily pics of Skylar playing and smiling made my heart glad. Thanks for your patience with her Krystal; I know she was a handful.”

“Awesome and Pleasant Military orientated Couple!!! My sweat Venus greated me very cheerfully when I picked her up! These couple are very involved and cared for my furry baby as their Owen. Was updated with pictures in the morning and evenings plus videos daily. Daily they would have a to two miles of hiking. Katherine would update me with their daily significant adventure like I was reading a story book and help me to stay closer when I’m at a distance. A peaceful and safe wide open neighborhood! Highly trust my girl with them in the near future in my future TAD.”


“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! Our dogs came back smelling amazing — it's clear they were well cared for and given plenty of attention. We'll definitely be booking again!”

I have 3 senior dogs that love other dogs, but I also have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed. I also live walking distance from my local park. Smoke free home.
“They are a dynamic couple. Super nice to talk to, care about our pups and kitties as if their own. Check in frequently to see that our fur babies are ok. I would definitely recommend them.”
“As usual, Xena had a Wonderful time! She was happy when we picked her up…and was pooped when she got home. Thank you for being a safe place for us to leave Xena & for the pics everytime!”

“This was my very first time booking on Rover and it was great! Richard is awesome, he kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. I was a bit nervous being that he was going to be keeping my pup overnight but he made me feel so comfortable and reassured me that she was in good hands, & she sure was! I am definitely booking again I loved how when I came to pick my pup up him and his grandmother came out to greet me was the sweetest thing! My pup Aya enjoyed them as much as they did her♥️”

Richard was very good with my dog. He took her on multiple long walks and gave her a super comfortable place to sleep. He was very attentive to her needs and my anxious dog felt so at home with him. Great experience for my dog and wonderful peace of mind to know my girl was in good hands.

Erica was outstanding, flexible, understanding and wonderful to our dog Nigel. She truly went out of the way to make sure we had updates and videos of Nigel during our trip. She Finding her has been a blessing, and I am so glad that we did. Your fur babies will be in amazing hands with Erica, and we will definitely book her again.
