“Sally continues to be just the best babysitting doggie Mom ever! Just the mention of her name sends my girl into a fast trot to the door and a big vocalization to get in the car. ❤️💕😘”



“Hillary was amazing. She is organized, thoughtful and I knew Ace was going to be in great care while I was away. I would highly recommend Hillary especially if you have small dogs where boarding is a little more stressful. She’s fantastic and I will be using her again in the future!”


“Piper had a great time and everything went so smoothly with Emily. She sent us daily pictures of Piper. Drop off and pick up were so easy. We would for sure use Emily in the future!”


“This was our first time taking a vacation without our two dogs. Everything went better than I could have expected. They took excellent care of them, sent pictures daily and walked them. My guys loved it there! Great fenced in yard and a very nice home. We'll definitely be back. Thank you both very much.”


“Jeff and Rachel were very now than accommodating with our dog. They treated her like family. They followed the feeding instructions. They gave her medicine when she needed it. I like that they only watch one dog at a time. I world definitely use them again.”


“Laura took the best care of our dog, Miya while we were on vacation. Gave us many pictures and kept us updated on everything! We definitely recommend Laura if you ever need a dog sitter. She’s one of the best!”


“Watched my anxiety riddled dog for a week with no problems! I received updates throughout the week and Abigail was very organized in helping make sure my dog has everything he needed to have a good visit. He was also sound asleep when I brought him home within 5 minutes from all the playtime. Definitely recommend and I will use again myself!”


“Jerad and Sarah were absolutely amazing with our dog! They gave him such love and attention and we really appreciated all of the checking they sent us about how our dog was doing. Such a great family, and I know our dog will be very happy when he gets to stay there next!”



“Marlyn did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs! I felt comfortable and happy to get updates on them as I was gone for over a week. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Alyssa was amazing. So welcoming. It was my first time letting my little puppy stay with somebody and he was so happy. Her dogs got along perfectly with him and I will definitely book again.”


“Laken watched my little pup for the first time and she was amazing! She is super sweet and truly cares for the animals she watches. She helped make my daughter feel at ease to leave her for a few days.”


“Ashely was phenomenal in all ways. She helped me when I was in a tough spot with a last minute booking over the holiday. She took fantastic care of my very scared Chihuahua and helped her to feel comfortable in a new environment very quickly. She kept me updated on everything cute and important and sent lots of photos. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Janelle was a great help taking care of my dog. She was prompt in sending photos / videos of my pet during his stay at her place. Also my dog felt comfortable and at home at her place as he had company with her pets which included a dog and cats as well. I will definitely recommend her for boarding your pets and will rebook her the next time when we would need it.”


“Kayleigh was great, our 13 wk old Cavapoo pup had a good time and was exhausted when she got home. Kayleigh provided updates and pictures throughout each day.”


“Had pre engagement meeting and it was all systems go! The boys (medium labradoodles) had a great time and relaxed like the place was their own. Seemed to especially enjoy the big backyard”


About: I have taken care of big animals from horses to large dogs for years. Potty training assistance for puppies or if you have a Senior with extra needs no problem I've dealt with both so know sometimes, they just need some extra care and assistance. I currently am retired so spend much of the day at home. So your pet will have plenty of attention while you are at work for drop-in daycare or for boarding. Currently I have an 10 month-old puppy that was crate trained. She pretty much goes with me most places I go. I do keep animals crated separately if there are other pets in our home if I have to step out. I know each pet parent has their own style, so I am open to whatever you prefer for your pet. I do stay home mostly during the day and take my puppy out several times a day for playtime in the backyard or sometimes we walk around my neighborhood. I know most pets have a routine that they like so I do like to try and stick to that if they have one. My home is quite and calm during the day unless it's playtime outside. I recently had to put down my 13-year-old heeler which she always did better in a home versus kennel environment when we were away. So, I try to make sure that those that I am caring for feel safe and try to keep them engaged and happy while their parents are not home. I have worked in training kennels and horse stables so used to being around many different animal personalities.

“Mariajose is great, I would definitely recommend leaving your fur baby with her as she sends daily updates which included pics and videos. <3 I really have peace of mind when my baby is in her care. I’ve booked with her multiple times in the past few months and I’ve never been more happier and relaxed about leaving my baby in her care. Thank you so much”



“Lori was amazing!!! She made me feel very comfortable with leaving Charlie with her. You can tell she enjoys animals and sent pictures of Charlie during her stay. We highly recommend and will be using her services again?”

Northland dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first Rover experience for my senior pup, Remi. Will and Bibina took great care of her. Remi and their dog Pumpkin became best buds, along with the other 2 dogs they were watching. Remi looked happy in all photos and daily updates sent. I would 100% recommend booking Will & Bibiana. I will for sure check their availability for my next weekend away.

Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Our dogs, Rocky and Vinny, had the best time with her. They loved playing with her sweet dogs, Roxy and Fabio, and having the freedom of a fenced-in backyard. We had complete peace of mind while they were in her care—she’s kind, attentive, and truly treats dogs like her own. We couldn’t recommend Lindsay more highly to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!!! It almost seemed like our dogs didn’t want to leave they were having such a good time!!

Shaelyn was absolutely amazing. We have previously boarded our dog at facilities but never at someone’s house or through Rover. This was by far the best experience I could have asked for. Shaelyn provided daily updates and pictures, and she was responsive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure our doggie had the best time (even took him on extra walks each day just because she saw how much he enjoyed them!). I will never board him anywhere else again.

Lovie was an awesome sitter! She was super communicative, responsive, caring, and kind. She provided us with many updates and pictures during our puppy’s stay. She took her to the dog park and did activities to keep her engaged and fulfilled. She loved our dog so well while we were away!
