“Samantha was so wonderful! She was able to take my two dogs Remy and Piper on short notice I was in town for my son’s wedding and Samantha came to my hotel to meet us and then was able to care for them during all the festivities. She picked them up and also brought them back. She was so loving and kind to them. I just fell in love with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Samantha, from the bottom of my heart!”
“Unfortunately, Pepper's stay was cut short due to a canceled flight. However, for the short period of time that she was in Keitel C.'s care, she was well taken care of. I checked in to see how Pepper was doing and I received an immediate response with pictures of Pepper. Keitel C. is very responsive, which is important.”
About: I have 30+years of experience with many kinds of animals. I have personally owned: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guineas, horses and a goat, pig and miniature donkey! Love my furry and feathered friends! I am currently very flexible and available throughout the week. I am also available on holidays. I am look forward to meeting your beloved pet! I am presently looking to do drop-in's and walks for now. I hope to include more services at a later date. I have a friendly small older dog that also likes dogs and cats. I have dependable transportation. I will care for your furry friend like they are my very own.
“As soon as we were going out of town we knew right away we wanted our Honey girl to stay with Aurora and her sweet family! Aurora is quick to send updates with pictures and quick to respond. When we go pick up honey from her stay, she is so well taken care of and tired out from a good time. ☺️”
“Kylie was very patient with me and our pups seemed to be very happy during their week long stay. Daily updates were appreciated and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kylie in the future. She let our pups live right alongside her family and I definitely appreciate that. Thanks Kylie”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Brownie. He can definitely be a barker, but he’s a sweet, lovable boy, and she was so patient and understanding with him. She really treated him like he was part of her own family. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry about how he was doing. She even asked about his preferences and routines to make sure he felt comfortable and at home. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Brownie looked happy and relaxed, and that says everything. He totally didn’t miss me when I picked him up lol. You won’t find anyone like her. I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kate is awesome! Can tell from her dogs’ behavior that she really loves e-mails. Also think she may have a future as an animal photographer cause she took the best shots of my dog!”
“I can tell Aoki had a blast !! Just got home and baby boy is sleep already ! I really enjoyed all the pictures that were sent AND the cute video as well ! 🥰 Aoki came home smelling and looking clean with a nice trim and blow out 🥰 best services to date !!”
“This was the first time we have ever left our dog with anyone outside of our family as we had just moved to the area, and he seemed to have had a blast with his new friends and family while we were away for a long holiday weekend. Thanks so much!”
“Our dog only stayed a night but Ron was very accommodating to meeting us beforehand to introduce ourselves and our dog. He was also very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided a lot of feedback throughout our dog’s stay. We’ll definitely be looking at using him again.”
“Sasha was amazing! I needed a sitter due to a medical emergency, there were so many things at play to where I was out of town when our dog was ready to be picked up. My dad who was just recovering from surgery was not as fast he usually was post surgery. We had to coordinate and navigate a lot considering this was also our first time using Rover. Sasha was patient in navigating the frustrations with pick up. She was very hands on with our dog and communicated with us as we navigated his needs and this app for the first time. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thanks for your help Sasha and helping our family during this time and not having to travel 20 hours with our German shepherd. I cannot even imagine what that would have been like. We appreciate you!”
“Lily was GREAT with my 2 dogs, one of which is a puppy and requires more attention. She gave me updates on how they were doing along with pictures. Really put my mind at ease to see how well they were doing. Anyone would be happy to have her watch their animals.”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“My dog was very well taken care of at Eric's. I received pictures throughout my trip which was very reassuring. Eric is pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. He was a very good sitter for my precious dog! I'll use him again.”
“It was such a wonderful experience for our family. From the time we dropped Sunny we experienced the warmth of the friendly dog environment. Sunny enjoyed every bit of her sleep over! I am sure she felt the love and was well taken care from day one! Rover is the place for your family.”
“Brittney did a great job communicating and had all of our dog’s stuff nicely packed for pickup. She’s got a huge fenced in yard that would be great to run around in. She was really sweet and our dog seemed to really like her. Would definitely book with Brittney again!”
“I’ve left Daisy in Kelly’s care a few times and have always been extremely pleased. I know Daisy gets plenty of attention and Kelly is so good to send pictures. Kelly has my highest recommendation for pet care!”
“As usual, Muggsy had a wonderful time staying with Naomi. She treats him like her own. She's our go-to sitter from here on out. Thank you, Naomi for always taking excellent care of our pup!”

Debra entertained Mindy so well and kept us updated with videos of her playing. I know Mindy enjoyed meeting and playing with her new friends. Now we know that she plays well with cats too. She was tuckered out and slept the entire way home (3 hours) and slept in the next day. Definitely recommend Debra to others.
