“Loved having Vicki watch Gus this last weekend. She and her family took great care of him and helped him feel at home. He came back happy and tired from a lot of play with new friends all weekend!”
“Alexis has fantastic reviews and for good reason. She was accommodating and professional. The dogs loved her and she even helped us out in a jam by picking our dogs up for us. I can’t wait to utilize her services again when we are in town next.”
“Debbie took perfect care of my pup while I was gone for a week! She took her on walks, to the beach, and sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated! I would definitely recommend and book her again in the future.”
“Absolutely outstanding communication and wonderful care provided for my dog overnight. Would recommend Arlene in a heartbeat to those looking for someone to care for their pet.”
“Ruth was very attentive to Indy and groomed her while doing the same for another dog. She was responsive when I reached out to see how Indy was doing, and I will bring Indy back for future trips.”
“Darla took such great care of my dog Ruby while I was out of town! She was also very accommodating when coordinating pickup and drop off times. The yard is so nice for the pups and Ruby got to sleep in the guest bed which I know she absolutely loved. I got an outstanding update every day and could tell Ruby had the time of her life when I picked her up. Would definitely bring Ruby back!”
“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”
About: I have been dog sitting for several years now. I can administer oral medicine if needed. I am at home most of the time and give potty breaks pretty often, especially to puppies in training. I am mostly a stay at home mom so I am free most of the time. My schedule is flexible and can usually accommodate most of the times requested. Please schedule pick up/ drop off times within an hour. I have two friendly dogs who love to socialize and play. I usually don’t crate pets unless specifically requested. If weather permits I give the pets more time outside.
“Winnie came home a very happy dog after spending a week with Jennifer and Tiny. Winnie was very well cared for and I would not hesitate to leave her there again. I highly recommend Jennifer. Inge Russell”
“Sarah and Walter were so great with our pup, Milo. He’s leash reactive and they had no problem handling that. They also provided updates and pictures throughout his stay which we really appreciated. Looking forward to using them again soon!”
“Sidney and Ella took care of our golden retriever for 12 days. They did a great job and kept us updated with photos and videos. Our dog had a blast socializing with the other dogs under their care as well. I highly recommend them!”
“Cagatay and ]his family were wonderful and super responsive. This was our first time using Rover and with a puppy we were nervous to leave her but Cagatay sent regular photos and videos and Tuki even learned a few new commands! Tuki has a lot of energy and we appreciate all of the family's love and attention.”
“I booked Michelle for the holidays and I could tell my pup was so happy, lounging around her place and getting tons of play time and cuddles. When it came time for pickup, Michelle was so so understanding and flexible after flights were continuously delayed, and continued to make us feel like that Monster was welcome and cared for. Definitely recommend!”
“Christian took such great care of Ralph!! He came home happy and tired. Christian kept me updated during Ralph’s stay and shared plenty of photos. I would definitely have Christian watch Ralph again!! Thanks, Christian!!”
“Rondarose did such a fantastic job watching Mars overnight. Lots of pictures were sent and he was pooped with all of the playtime with the other dogs. Highly recommend! Very pleasant and timely.”
“Tanya did a wonderful job taking care of our senior pup! Betty was recovering from surgery so needed extra love and attention, including getting medicine and wearing a cone. Even so, Tanya made sure she was comfy and spent plenty of time outside. We will definitely be scheduling with Tanya again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Our dog absolutely loved his stay with Andrea and her family. We are a couple days out from him returning and he seems like he’s still missing his time there. You can tell Andrea and her kids care for the dogs. They have a secure fenced in backyard and it seems like our dog got to enjoy some time outdoors. We loved the updates and cute pictures she sent. We will use her again in the future. Thank you!
I’m writing to share how fantastic Livia and Matt were while I was out of town. Two of my three dogs stayed at their home, and from the very beginning they made me feel incredibly comfortable and completely at ease. There is absolutely no such thing as too many pictures when it comes to my dogs, and Livia and Matt were amazing about constantly sending updates, photos, and letting me know how my babies were doing. It made being away from them so much easier. I honestly hate going out of town because I hate leaving my dogs, but knowing that Livia and Matt are there to take such great care of them makes the entire process so much less stressful. I felt completely confident that they were safe, happy, and being treated like family. I will absolutely use Livia and Matt again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and attentive people to watch their dogs.
Colleen was fantastic - took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and was great with communication and flexibility. We received regular updates with cute photos, and Colleen’s house is so well-equipped and dog-friendly with toys, beds, bowls, etc that we barely had to pack anything but food and leashes. Our dogs loved playing with her pups Teddy and Polly and came home smiling. They would love to come back!
