Aly was amazing with my 1 year old dog. It was the first time I left him with a sitter and traveled since getting him and I felt so comfortable during my trip knowing he was safe and happy. He was very active, going on walks and playing and he had so much fun with her dog. She kept me updated with pics and it looked like he was having the time of his life! He came back to me exhausted and happy, I couldn’t ask for a smoother experience with a dog sitter. I highly recommend Aly to anyone considering booking her!

About: I grew up in a home with pets and enjoy being able to include them in our home and give them love and attention while their owners are away. I work from home and am able to care for your pet weekdays except for Fridays and occasionally over the weekend schedule depending. I have a kennel available if needed. I have a fenced yard and a very flexible schedule to allow for lots of attention and play time. I also have several pet loving children who are gentle and enjoy loving on pets.

Christina took great care of our dog. She sent us updated pictures and let us know how he was doing. When we got home, our dog was much more relaxed (compared to when he stays at a large boarding place). We will definitely use Christina again. Top notch care and great communication.

My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.

Sarah was excellent with communication and providing photos and videos of our dog while we were away. Our dog loved playing with the other dogs and we trust she was well cared for through the anxiousness of being separated from family. Will definitely book with Sarah again!

About: Hi! My name is Breana, and I’m excited to start my journey on Rover. While I’m new to providing services on the platform, I’ve personally used Rover for my own puppies and have had wonderful experiences—which inspired me to become a sitter and dog walker myself. I have a genuine love for animals and hands-on experience working with dogs. I’ve attended behavior classes and completed dog grooming courses at DMACC, as well as worked as a dog groomer. These experiences have helped me better understand dogs’ needs, behaviors, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. I will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. You can trust that your loved ones will be in caring and responsible hands with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work overnight as a CNA, but with a little time to rest, I’m flexible during the day and on weekends. Just letting me know a day or two in advance. I treat every pet like my own—keeping things clean, following all instructions carefully, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for with walks, playtime, treats, and plenty of attention.

Jodie and her girls were great with our dog Luna. We never had any concerns that she wasn’t in good hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and did a craft with her. Luna had a great time, and I would recommend Jodie to watch anyone’s dog, we will use her again for sure.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had my own pup since I was 2, and he was truly my best friend. I cared for him through his senior years, giving him meds, comfort, and gentle support right up until he passed on Halloween. Because of that, I understand how to be patient, loving, and calm with older dogs, and I treat every pet like family. Your dog will get real care, attention, and kindness with me. I’m currently looking for a job, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available any day of the week for dog walking and pet sitting. When caring for dogs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow their routine, give lots of attention, make sure they’re fed on time, and keep their space clean. I also have a fenced-in backyard, so dogs can get fresh air and play safely. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to their needs so they feel at home with me.

I am very thankful for Molly. She was able to take both our dog and cat. I’m really thankful she let my dog play with her dogs to pass the time since my dog has separation anxiety.

Alicia was responsive and took great care of Harry while we were away. He came home happy and tired, which is a nice combo. :) It was nice to know he was in a house with other pets and kiddos to play with.
