“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”


“Pinot had the best time staying with Matt! She came home a happy and tired pup after playing all weekend and being well looked after. Matt provided updates throughout the weekend so I never had a worry about how Pinot was doing!”


“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”


“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”



“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”


“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”


“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”


“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Kyla was great! She kept us updated on our pups activities and even went above and beyond when needed. Communication was crystal 10 out of 10 will book again with her!”



“Hilary was an excellent choice for our dog while we were out of town. She sent multiple pictures showing his walks and good times that made us smile and remove any fears we had about using this service for the first time. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog any time she is available when we need it. ?”

“Joleya made Oreo feel so comfortable that I thought he wouldn’t want to come home! She was kind and responsive and flexible when we had to modify the pick up type. When I picked him up he was his usual happy go lucky self. I can tell he had an amazing time! I would absolutely love to utilize Joleya’s services again.”


“Great sitter, gave me updates whenever I asked for them and followed everything I asked her to do for my cat. Made sure my cat was safe with her children and other pets and played with him, also I didn’t leave enough food so she gave my cat some of her cats food, overall great experience!”


“Amber was amazing! She took such great care of our old man and treated him like her own! She was quick to respond to all messages, and sent us updates without using asking. I can not recommend her enough; we had such a peace of mind leaving our dog with her!”


About: I have experience with my own family dog. She is about 9 years old now, we’ve had her ever since she was a puppy. She is an elkhound. When she was a puppy she was very energetic so I am familiar with lots of energy !:). I have also taken care of family friends dogs and their houses so I have some experience with that as well. I am in school so I am busy Monday-Friday. I have some gaps in-between my days where I can walk some dogs or feed them or both. As well as keep them company for a little if needed. I live in an apartment, so if I am going to take overnight sits they will have to be small dogs that are potty trained. I have a pretty spacious room and live next to a small park so I would be able to take them out pretty easily. They will have space for their beds or water/feeding bowls.

Natalie M.
“I wanted to take a moment to highlight Natalie’s caring nature and her genuine love for dogs. Her compassion and dedication are truly commendable. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dog. From the very first meeting, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable and happy — which says a lot because he can be shy around new people.”
Old Town Manchester dog parents share their Rover experiences
Le’Quitta did an EXCELLENT job caring for my quirky dog, Penny! I knew my dog would be in good and safe hands the moment I met Le’Quitta. This is only the second time I’ve left my dog with a Rover sitter, and I hit the jackpot both times. Penny now thinks of Le’Quitta and her family as part of our family. I will most definitely be reaching out to her again to dog sit! This was a great experience, and I highly recommend her!! Thanks sooooo much!

From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾

Lindsey and Brian did a great job taking care of our old girl. They were flexible with challenging airport drop off and pickup times as well. Pictures and updates throughout the stay made us feel confident she was in good hands and made leaving her easier. Will definitely rebook

Carolina was so kind and caring with Fefe! Fefe was very relaxed when we picked her up, which says it all. Carolina made her feel very at home and comfy, and gave her extra love when she was feeling a little out of sorts. Carolina followed our care instructions, including medications, very carefully, and communicated how she was doing throughout the entire stay. We definitely recommend Carolina!

Elise took great care of my senior dog Edgar. She had no trouble managing the various pills and supplements he needs for his kidney disease. She was responsive to any questions I had. Her cats were very friendly as well. Edgar was in high spirits when I picked him up. It's clear she cares a whole lot about animals. Highly recommended.

Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!

Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.

Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!
