“We left our pup with Deanne for a 7 day trip and she was incredible. It was all positive vibes from our first meeting onward. Our dog was clearly comfy, wonderfully cared for, and loved! Deanne will be our first call for future trips!”


“I could not be more pleased… My dog had such a good time with Amanda and came home happy and content and tired so I know she had a very good day! And Amanda was wonderful in communicating with me throughout the day to let me know how my girl was doing and sending photos… Highly recommend and will already be booking again!”


“My girl Josie had a fantastic time with Nicole; she was well-cared for, well-loved and I received daily updates and pics of all the fun she was having. I highly recommend Nicole and will certainly use her again!”



“Mary and Todd were amazing! Sent us pics of Oakley having fun on her walks and other pups Communication was terrific and Oakley seemed so happy being there! We can’t wait until her next visit with them! Plus, she made friends with the chickens!!”


“Taylor went above and beyond for my senior dog. She is patiently and creatively dealt with Ruby’s separation anxiety. When Ruby had a medical issue, Taylor communicated immediately and provided detailed and accurate information. Taylor dealt with this unusual occurrence calmly and intelligently. I recommend Taylor without hesitation.”


“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”


“Thomas was unbelievably helpful with my last minute need for dog care. He made me feel very comfortable leaving Smokey in his care and sent photos and videos throughout the day. Thomas will give your dog all the walks and attention they are accustomed to at home and I could tell in photos that Smokey was delighted to be with Thomas and Dobby. I will absolutely book with Thomas again, he’s the best!”


About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.


“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”


“Amanda was great with our dogs. She listened carefully to each of their needs and made sure to accommodate particular requests. Amanda was prompt in getting back to us anytime we reached out and sent us occasional photos of the dogs playing or resting. She has a lovely home and large fenced-in backyard where the dogs could run free and get plenty of exercise. We felt at ease knowing our precious pups were kept safe and warm while we were away!”


“Our dog, Joule, had a great time at Diana’s! The whole family was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about how to handle a high energy and attention seeking pup. She got along great with the other dogs and if we are back in the area, this would be our first choice for a rover!”


“Lynette did an outstanding job caring for Jack. Jack took ill while staying there and Lynette immediately contacted me, called the vet and made sure to give him his meds. I can't thank her enough. I feel so fortunate that Jack was in her care. She also called the day after I picked him up to see how he was going. Thank you so much Lynette, you're one very special lady.”


“We have been using Cipriana for our dog Barkley for almost 2 years. Her mom and brother Joe often helped out as well. Unfortunately, the last time we used them was the last time for our beloved Barkley. He was fine before we went away and he suddenly became sick. He was a diabetic and stopped eating and Cipriana puréed his food and gave to him in a syringe. When he didn’t feel better, Joe, carried him to the car and they brought him to the vet. We were 5 hours away and luckily Cipriana also works at this vet and checked on our dog. Unfortunately, we found out he had a large cancerous tumor in liver that was totally unexpected and was told that euthanasia was the best option. It was a comfort to know that our dog was not alone until we could be with our best friend of almost 14 years and say goodbye. Mom even showed up and said goodbye too. It will be awhile before we get another dog, but it will be Cipriana. She is the best.”


“Magnolia took my 3 dogs (2 of which are 80 lbs) on very short notice, and was extremely flexible with changes and delays to my trip. The dogs seemed to have a great time and I enjoyed the pictures she sent of the dogs running and playing. I will definitely be leaving my little pack with Magnolia when I travel in future.”


About: I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals over the years. From mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks - I love to pamper them all! I've learned to understand each animals' individual needs and am hyperfocused in their comfort. Being a committed pet parent, I've experienced and indulged in all the milestones - so I'm ready for the puppy edition all the way through caring for your senior family member. Being very detailed oriented and personally spoiling my own critters, I can support even the most high maintenance of fur babies! My fiancé (also on Rover!) ensure your furbaby is entertained around the clock! I work from home and handle the early bird shift, including your pup in the sunrise (bright snd early) farm chores. My fiancé provides the daytime activities including long walks and hikes on our farm, supervised yard time, play time. Evening activities include additional walks and games. Pups will have their last walk and tucked in for the night around 1030PM. I am extremely conscious of pet safety and following instructions provided by owners. When pets are at my home, they will not have any interaction with other animals- just me and my fiancé (who is also on Rover!). Dogs will always be on a leash, with the exception of being enclosed in a secure fenced in area. We have a 1 acre fenced in yard where dogs can have supervised zoomie time. Dogs will never be left unattended in the yard. Our fur guests spending the day or night will have their own room with a bed, crate (if preferred for their comfort or if they are beavers), ad lib water, etc.

“Sophie was not only accommodating to me but to my puppy’s specific needs. Additionally, she was very communicative and knowledgeable. I always worry when I leave my dog somewhere. After my dogs stay, however, she was happier than when I left her! Sophie, as well as her dog, are wonderful and I highly recommend them.”


“Definitely recommend! My dog had a fantastic time, and it was clear how much Ben enjoyed taking care of him. He was very communicative and sent lots of pic of our dog having fun. Will definitely book again!”


“You and your dog will love Alister! He makes sure your dog gets lots of playtime and exercise. Alister is great with the daily updates and pics! I felt comfortable leaving Chester with him and confident he has the dog experience to handle any situation. I will definitely use Alister again!”

Rosie was clearly having a very good time and that was because Nicole and her family clearly enjoyed Rosie so much. I am delighted to recommend Nicole for dog sitting anytime.”

Kimiko & Benjamin C.
“I'd highly recommend Kimiko for any pet sitting needs you may have. Her calm, competent attitude is just as reassuring to my pets as it is to myself. She can also handle a wide variety of situations. I have three dogs with very intense personalities, and two cats who don't always love the dogs, and she easily navigates their relationships. My oldest dog is reactive and dog selective and I've never had any concerns when he's in Kimiko's hands. She also has plenty of experience with providing medication and handling dogs going through rehab. I seriously can't say enough good things about KImiko. You won't regret having her take care of your pets.”

Philmont dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was amazing! I was so glad that we had a meet and greet beforehand so I could make sure my pup felt comfortable with her and her two dogs. My dog warmed up to them quickly, and I knew that he would be in good hands. Amanda was great with him and sent me updates with photos and videos. My dog felt right at home! Amanda is very professional and kind, and the fact that she is a Vet Tech is a bonus! I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda!

I could not be more pleased… My dog had such a good time with Amanda and came home happy and content and tired so I know she had a very good day! And Amanda was wonderful in communicating with me throughout the day to let me know how my girl was doing and sending photos… Highly recommend and will already be booking again!
