“Our Quincy had a safe and happy (I’m assuming, he can’t talk) stay. We were sent pictures and it looked like he was enjoying the company of other pups. Just sorry his stay was at the height of his end of winter shed. 😳 Thanks!”
“Jacquelyn took care of Harper over Thanksgiving and we couldn’t ask for a better home for him while we were away. She met his snuggle and exercise needs while keeping me updated the entire time. We will definitely go to Jacquelyn any time we are out of town for doggy boarding.”
“Unbelievable!!! This was the first time that we gave Zeke to another person. As soon as Zeke saw Hendra he was running to him, and when I came (hesitantly...) to pick him up, he was so calm and content, an indication that he had a great 2 days! Will know where to send next time we need a sitter, and very warmly recommend Hendra! He was extremely courteous and kind, professional and warm at the same time!”
“Danielle provided positive feedback and photos during Reggie's sleepover. She has a very nice set up in her home for boarding. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their pup in good hands.”
“It was our first time having our dog Mila watched by someone other than family. Thomas was the perfect match, Mila can be timid to some and he knew exactly how to make her comfortable. I highly recommend Thomas to watch any dogs!”
“Ashley just watched my 17 year old dog for 3 days. So grateful She was able to take a last minute booking. Ashley is amazing with great communication! Jack was well loved and while staying with her. Our pouch didn’t even want to come home he had such a great time. I will definitely be using Ashley again!”
“Megan was fabulous with our dogs!!! She and her family were so welcoming to us, and they really enjoyed their stay! We received many photos, and we were so relaxed on our vacation knowing they our fur babies were in such good, loving hands!! 🩷”
“Matthew and his family were great hosts to our Welsh Terrier Winnie. She is an active dog with a lot of attitude. With their two dogs Henry and Jacks they were able to keep her running, walking, and content. We know our dog had a great time when she comes home spent, worn out, and sleeping for two days. Matthew sent pictures each day and Winnie had a blast. Two thumbs up and we will gladly use Matthew again..if he'll let our 17lb beast back in their home!”
“Lisa was amazing! We had to make last minute adjustments for a trip out of the country for my Ella to stay with her. She was patient and understanding. The best part is when I went to pick my girl up after not seeing her for 10 days, she was still herself. It's obvious that Lisa has a love for animals. I would recommend to anyone :)”
“Alba and her husband are beautiful couple I leave for my first time with Alba and my two girls one shih tzu and shih poo are very happy with them the first day was like they know them for ever i we was very happy too. Alba going to be my favorite sitter for life definitely you can trust them and they love my babies too. Recommend a plus”
“Patricia is an Amazing dog sitter! She watched our Gio a couple of times now. Gio loves to be there! They treat him like he’s part of their family 💙 She sends tons of pictures the whole time he’s there. So reliable and I always know Gio is safe in her care!”
“Christine and her family were great. They accepted our request with very little advance notice which allowed me to attend a funeral service and not have to worry about Rocky. As a border collie mix, Rocky has enormous energy, but when I picked him up from Christine, he plopped down in the backseat and slept all the way home. I also loved the photo Christine sent me of Rocky playing with her other dogs. It looked like he was having a great time. I whole heartedly recommend Christine if you need a sitter in her area.”
“This is our 2nd time using Kaitlyn, and we could not be more thankful for her! She was so accommodating when we asked to extend our dog’s stay (to extend our own vacation) and we will definitely continue to use her when we make trips down the shore. We can tell our dog was well cared for. Thank you Kaitlyn! :)”
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
“I'm extremely grateful to have found Lauren. And Fidget sure is too! This was my first time using Rover for a pet sitter, and from the moment we met Lauren at her house for the meet and greet, any apprehension about leaving my pup started to vanish. Lauren and her family are warm, pet loving people and Fidget felt right at home. She was free to roam their large, fenced in yard, and Lauren's boys played with Fidge for as long as her furry heart desired. Lauren covered all the important details to keep Fidget's normal eating and activity schedule. I was especially comforted to receive all the photos and videos Lauren sent me while I was away. Bottom line: if you need a pet sitter for your furry friend, look no further. They'll receive so much love and attention at Lauren's household. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog, and Fidget can attest to that!”
“Arlene was a pleasure to leave my fur baby with for a few days. She stayed in constant contact with me and sent photos daily. Will definitely reach out again to her if we need a sitter again!”
“Ranger was very well loved and taken care of while in Margaret’s care. She would send daily texts and pictures on how he was doing. Ranger had to take medicine during his visit and she took the time to figure out how to best take care of his needs. We would absolutely use her again.”
“Dolly enjoyed her stay so much at Barbara’s that she was too busy playing to say hello when I walked in! Thanks Barbara for taking such good care of Dolly! You are one of her favorites and she can’t wait for her next stay :-)”
“Betsy took wonderful care of our senior husky, Teeko. She did a great job medicating him and cleaning up an abscess he had at the time we were away. Betsy gave Teeko ample time outside, took him for many nice long walks and even took him to a dog park! We received daily pictures and detailed updates while we were away, which was very reassuring. Betsy was very caring, kind and compassionate with Teeko, and we would definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Kim would be a wonderful pet caretaker. She has been around animals all of her life. Growing up she helped to take care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. She always showed love and care to each animal. The animals in return showed her the love and kindness she had given them. She has taken care of my cats and dogs when I have been away. She is very trustworthy and I feel at ease when she is taking care of them. Sincerely, Susan M”

Oak Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Matt for an overnight for our dog Gino. Gino had the absolute best time! Not only did Matt send us updates and pics which made us feel so comfortable and happy knowing he was having fun, Gino loved Matt’s dogs Jax and Henry. (And so do we!) We are so lucky to have found Matt! Thank you for taking such good care of Gino! See you next week!
I had such a great experience leaving my dog with Laura & Carmine while I was away for the weekend. My dog has separation anxiety and some behavior quirks, so finding the right sitters can be tough—but they were incredibly understanding, sweet, and welcoming. He was clearly well cared for, had fun, and most importantly, felt safe and relaxed in their home. I would absolutely recommend them to other pet owners and hope to book with them again in the future!
