“Lauren has given great care to our dog. She kept sending updates with pictures of our dog during boarding. Our dog really enjoyed the stay. Highly recommended!”


“Emma was wonderful. She accommodated my last minute booking and schedule adjustments with short notice, took great care of Gumbo and kept me updated all through his stay with so many pictures of all their adventures. I will absolutely be using her services again and recommending her to my friends as well!”


“Jillian is the BEST! My pup Olive is nervous being away from home, but she was at dog Disney land with Jillian. The communication was regular, informative and comforting. Olive was so happy and fulfilled. I would 100% recommend Jillian. Best Rover experience possible! Thank you!”


“Emily and her husband were wonderful when caring for our dog Teddy! Emily sent several updates and pictures during Teddy’s stay with them, and he seemed to have gotten a lot of love from their family! We will definitely reach out to Emily in the future to help with Teddy!”


“Emily did an excellent job! Our dog came home happy and calm. She took care of our dogs during the extreme cold and snow and made sure they were warm and well cared for. We are so grateful she took care of our pup at the holidays.”


“Natalie is very sweet & welcoming! Chase felt completely at home! She sent pics and updates! I definitely will be bringing Chase back into her.”


“We just adopted our shih tzu Matty about 6 weeks ago. When we decided to go on a trip, we decided we didn't want to board him in a kennel or a place where he might feel like we were abandoning him, which is why we chose rover.com. Matty stayed with Joanne and her family for 6 nights and I have to say, they were awesome! She sent me pictures and updates every day. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Matty with Joanne and her family again!”


“Yolena was fantastic! She took care of our babies last minute over a holiday and we so appreciated it!”


“Loree and Jeff were nothing short of amazing with our dog, Meatball. They took her in for a 4 night stay on practically no notice and treated her like she was their own. We received updates and pictures every day which we appreciated so much. We highly recommend Loree and Jeff to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies and we know our Meatball will definitely be visiting them again.”


“Hobbit had a great time with Amanda! I could tell because when I picked him up, he clearly went to give her a thank you hug and a goodbye. He is happy and healthy and Amanda was great at providing updates and pictures of Hobbit. I will definitely book with her again!”


“Looks like Leo really enjoyed his time there with Heavyn, and her pups. She was sweet to him and he clearly fell in love with here, also she is a very kind person to speak with. I will definitely keep coming back for boarding.”


“Deborah was amazing! She took great care of Iggy. I knew as soon as I met her that he would be well loved. We were gone for 10 days and when we came home he was just as happy as ever. Thank you!”


“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 15lbs mini golden to a 130lbs mastiff. I love taking long walks no matter the weather (as long the dog is comfortable!) and have experience with senior dogs who require a lot of love and attention, and sometimes lots of medication. If your pet had specific needs, I can certainly make sure they’re taken care of the best way they can be! I have similar experience with cats, caring for teething kittens and senior cats who need extra attention. I love cats, but I understand sometimes they take longer to warm up. I don’t mind just hanging around until they feel comfortable enough to come up to me themselves. My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. I’m a full time college student who’s lived in the Dayton area my whole life, allowing me to watch pets in the area year round (I’m a rising senior at the University of Dayton). I currently have an online internship, but it’s unpaid and I don’t get a lot of work to do. I have lots of time to devote to taking care of your critters. I’m willing to stay with pets for as long as they need, whether that means overnight or just some company during the day. I’m patient with pets that are wary of strangers; I do what I can to respect their boundaries. I will always wait until they’re comfortable enough to come up to me. I have a dog at home who is very nervous around new people. Because she’s so big we have to be very careful of how we introduce her to people. She’s a high maintenance lady, that’s for sure! But she loves just having company, and I know that many pets just want to have someone to be around.

“Was a last minute weekend stay for my dog and quickly felt comfortable with him staying there. She shared photos of dogs playing together and was quite responsive if ever messaged.”


“This is our second time using Jenna as a sitter for our girls. She is very diligent about making sure the dogs are safe and getting along. The environment seems like it’s well controlled and she cares enough about the dogs to get her yard professionally taken care of so that they in the future will be able to play in her back yard. Also upon my dogs coming home my husband notified me that her husband noticed that one box of treats I bought for the dogs was actually meant for people to consume NOT dogs. Thankfully they caught it in time cause I didn’t realize someone put it in the dog section at the store. I’m positive we avoided a hefty doctors note. Thank you Jenna and husband for looking after our girls and treating them like family.”


“This is our second time using Claire and she was amazing once again! We will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs and will continue to recommend her to others!”


“Sierra watched our puppy that decided he wasn't going to like his crate. He destroyed a bed and started chewing the crate. She reached out and expressed her concerns for his safety and found the perfect solution for him!”


“Happy with the treatment Lucy received in Amber's home. We purposely choose someone with kids and who allows her on beds because she loves kids and likes to sleep with them. We received regular updates and pictures which we love. When we picked her up yesterday she seemed fine and happy. When we got her home, she fell deeply asleep like she does at night. She must have had a lot of activity to be so exhausted and she slept all evening except for potty time and to eating. We wish we could give her so much activity to take some weight off. We would definitely use Rover.com and Amber again. This is our 2nd time using Rover and it takes the concern of leaving her behind because we know she's well taken care of. I have been recommending Rover to friends. Thanks Amber”


“Aydee was amazing! She sent pictures daily which was both sweet and reassuring. She was very easy to communicate with & communication was always swift. I appreciate her for caring & loving my special boy like he was hers! We will definitely be back!!”
