“Highly recommend Lyric he did a great job with Myko and made sure that he was well taken care of during his time watching over him. Really appreciated the fact that he has other dogs as well so Myko had someone to play with.”
“Leaving my dog behind on certain vacations is never fun, but leaving my dog with Kelsie means he is on vacation too. She is very nice and you can tell she genuinely cares, also her dog Finn is really sweet and playful. I am positive that she takes better care of my dog than I do, and I take great care of him. I would recommend her to anyone and I hope she is available again in the future...My only concern is that my dog Denver may end up wanting to live with her more than me!”
“What a great experience! We’ve already decided we’ll be using Elias again in the future. Our pup was so relaxed at drop off (which is not common) and came home tired, but calm. From start to finish it was a great experience and I highly recommend!”
“This is the second time I used Chastidy and she takes such good care of my Benz. We are so happy to know he is in good hands when we need to leave him for a few days.”
“Nams has a calmed demeanor that instantly connects with pets. Snowy immediately knew she was in a safe and friendly environment. Very professional. I would definitely recommend her.”
“They took great care of our two Dobermans! We got lots of pics, videos, and correspondence. They have a huge backyard where they got plenty of exercise. Bodhi and Haumea looked very happy when we picked them up. We will definitely use them in the future.”
“My dog loved his stay with Sarah. She took him into her home on short notice and was super accommodating. She made sure I received lots of updates and photos and I could tell that he was having a blast in all of them. I would recommend Sarah, her husband and their pups to anyone looking for an attentive sitter for their dog. :)”
“Thank you so much, Avi, for taking such great care of Max. We’ve been searching for a place where we can leave him and feel completely at ease—and we finally found it with you guys. It was clear that Max was in safe, caring hands. We’ll definitely be bringing him back to you again!”
“I can't say enough good things about Rachel! Leaving my fur baby, Lucy, was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but Rachel made it so much easier. She sent daily updates and pictures, so I could see Lucy’s sweet face and know she was in good hands. Rachel was incredibly attentive and caring, and it's clear she loves animals just as much as I do. When I picked Lucy up, she was beaming with joy and looked like she'd been well taken care of. I was so impressed with how Rachel had followed her routine and given her all the snuggles and love she needed. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for making my trip so much less stressful and for being an amazing caregiver to my little girl!”
“Bonnie watched our dog on our wedding day, and she was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the day and made the whole experience completely stress free so we could fully enjoy our big day. She was also incredibly flexible with our unpredictable drop off times and even let us come early for pickup. Thank you so much, Bonnie!”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to pets during walks and playtime, ensure they have fresh water, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m happy to follow any special instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or behavioral preferences. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll gladly send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way! ❤️🐶
“Yvette is the BEST. She truly cares about your pup just like her own. This is my second time having her watch my dog and she will be the only person I send my dog to. She goes above and beyond and loves your pet like her own. She even sewed up his toy that he chewed up!! Thank you so so much for everything!!”
“Mary was an incredible dog watcher! I got multiple updates throughout the day with very cute pictures included. My dog needed to take medicine on a schedule and Mary made sure to communicate each time a dose was given. I could not have asked for a better host for my fur baby! 10/10 would recommend”
About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.

“Karren was amazing with our dog Cody! She was so kind, knowledgeable, and clearly loves dogs. Cody came home happy, clean, and well cared for. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, and even checked him for ticks. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Karren!”
“Grace was fantastic. She took excellent care of my dog, was reliable and communicative, and made it so much easier for me to travel knowing everything was in good hands. I would highly recommend her and would gladly use her again.”
“Kiana is phenomenal!! My family was having trouble finding someone to watch our big dog over the Christmas holiday, and Kiana was a lifesaver. Daisy had the most wonderful time staying with her, and I really appreciated the lovely updates and cute photographs that she was able to send throughout the week-long stay. Thank you Kiana!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pennington
This was the first time I’ve left my dog with anyone and I was super scared. The vibe I got from Kristin right off the bat was great and the fact that my dog was laying with her baby a day into a meeting meant so much the fact that she trusted her with her child meant so much Kristin is a sweetheart, and I definitely will ask her again to watch Lucy.
On her “first date” with Cheryl, our dog was comfortable right away, even though she’s often nervous when she’s away from us and meeting new people. Not only was Cheryl wonderful with our dog, she also was prompt and responsive in her communications with us. We will definitely call on Cheryl to dog sit again. Thank you, Cheryl!
