“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”

“Hilary was great! My pup was well loved and taken care of. Photos were sent daily keeping my heart happy knowing he was in good hands. 10/10 recommend!”



“She was great! I left my pup with her for two weeks and she sent me updates of him daily. She even bathed him 3 times and I was happy that he also had other dogs to play with and kept him busy. I definitely recommend her and will be coming back for my future trips 😁”


“Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!”


“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”


“Matt took great care of our pups, properly spoiling them for us like we would and kept us updated with great pics. We never worried and were happy the pups had as great a vacation as we did. Top notch!!”


About: Experience caring for dogs in all ages and stages. Comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and anything else to keep your dog healthy and happy. I work full-time Monday-Friday, but am available in the evenings and weekends. I’m okay with adding additional furry members to my household while you travel and/or dropping in to check on them in the comfort if their own home. Full disclaimer: I have a senior dog, a cat, and school-aged children. Everyone in my household is friendly with both dogs and cats. My yard is fenced (4ft, chain-link) and dogs have access to a screened in porch if they prefer staying outdoors during the day. I’m more than happy to keep them inside, either crated or not, depending on your preferences.


“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.”


“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”

“Our pup was happy as can be staying with Raye while we were out of town on vacation! He had plenty of outside time and enjoyed spending time with other dogs. We got tons of pictures updates, which was great. Some were even glamour shots with my pup looking so handsome! Would work with Raye again, for sure!”


About: I have had dogs, cats and birds my entire life. I will treat your fur babies as I would treat my own. Nothing but love I am at home all day as I am an artist. And work from home. I work out of the home 3 evenings a week. I have a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a 25ft lead or I can simply walk them. I have 2 pet parakeets and a Great Dane that recently went to heaven at almost 12. Pets are always allowed on my couches and beds and I miss the snuggles.

“Abby was a wonderful sitter. Skylar took to her no problem and I could tell he really enjoyed his stay. She even sent us pics of our pup while we were gone. Wonderful experience and would highly recommend!”


“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”



“Laura was awesome from start to finish! She communicated promptly with us, took us on as a last-minute reservation, and was so loving and kind to Lady. Laura's dog Bailey made things super fun for Lady and served as a great companion. We will definitely be asking Laura to take care of Lady for us again in the future.”


“My older puppy, Rosie, gets very nervous when I leave her, but Lucky was able to take good care of her, calm her down, and get her to play with the other dogs. She sent me pictures of Rosie enjoying her stay. I definitely recommend Lucky as a dog sitter!”

Piney Knolls dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!

My lil Winter Is Coming had an amazing time with Lynelle and her family. She was able to accommodate us last minute and treated my doggo with a trip to Starbucks for a pup cup. Winter and her dog got along great and Lynelle made sure to send updates and pics for the stay. Highly recommended and will def book with her in the future!
