1. Dian R.

“We are so lucky to have found Dian! She is excellent with the dogs and they are always so excited to see her. Her yard is fenced in and the dogs can run and play as much as they want. We had a few “get to know you” play dates prior to overnight boarding. Now the dogs call her “Grandma Dian.” You will love her too!”


2. Marisa T.


“I was so comfortable leaving Chance in the care of Marissa and her family. She communicated with me through our entire stay and sent beautiful pictures of Chance adjusting (and loving) his vacay family. A special thank you to her son, who romped with him daily in the Ohio snow. We are so lucky to have them close as we travel a lot.”


3. Katelyn & Andria S.

“Katelyn is always so kind and loving with our pup. She takes great care of her and is great at communicating. Would recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and nurturing for your pup!”


4. Cynthia & Tim M.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. We currently have two sweet cavaliers, age 12 and 8.5 who love to be with other dogs. I was an agility competitor for several years. My husband and I are retired, and home most of the time unless we are traveling. We often care for friends' pets and are happy to provide references. We have a doggy door to a safe fenced area for potty breaks and outdoor play. Your dogs will bed part of our family while with us.


5. Sarah C.


“Sarah took amazing care of our little dog. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend and our dog and Olive got along so well! We would love to have Sarah watch Modie again! ”




6. Jennifer P.


“Jennifer is awesome! She seems to be very knowledgeable about dogs and took a lot of care to make sure my dog and myself were comfortable before my dog stayed with her. My dog had a blast with her! She kept me posted everyday how my dog was doing. I will definitely use Jennifer again!”


7. Amanda W.
“Amanda has never met a dog that doesn't love her and that she doesn't love. She is amazing with all animals and cares for them like she would her own children. I have trusted her with the care of every animal I have had and she's never let me down. Would recommend her to anyone that wants to be sure their fur babies are cared for in every way.”


8. Suzanne A.
“Suzanne has cared for my 4 high-energy pups multiple times and I never need to worry! I will hire her every time without a doubt.”


9. Beth N.

“Beth is an absolute Godsend! We brought our service dog, Cooper, with us to Toledo to visit family. We bring Cooper with us everywhere and have never had a problem. This time, the Airbnb we stayed at saw Cooper on their door cam and told us we couldn’t have him there (which is discrimination and illegal). Anyway, I opened up Rover and reached out to Beth after reading through about 15 different bios. Beth was gracious enough to accommodate us extremely last minute, and take Cooper in. Her house and yard were safe and secure both indoor and out. We were very comfortable in the vast experience and skill set she has in animal care. She took exceptional care of Coop, and he had the greatest time playing with her doggies. The pix she sent were epic! Beth was amazing and had the perfect space for “doggie summer camp”, and she was an incredible host. We absolutely cannot recommend her highly enough!”


10. Leslie A.

“Time flies, (and I can’t believe that it has been one week since I got back from my long trip), but I am catching up and want to be sure to give high praise for the excellent care Leslie gave my dog, Nora. I was far from home, but with updates, I knew Leslie was caring for her as well as I could have. Since Nora is elderly (and hardly away from my side), I knew an expert would be needed, and Leslie is an expert. I appreciate her very much.”


11. Kate W.


“Kate and her fiance were wonderful and so welcoming to our dog, Biji, who was rather stressed out from a several-day road trip by the time we arrived. The hotel we stayed at in Sandusky did not take dogs so we were grateful Kate was there to take our baby for the night. She sent regular photos and updates, and by the time we picked Biji up she was having a great time. Kate even gave Biji a "thank you" gift of milk bones for the road! I highly recommend Kate if you are in the area!”


12. Allie Z.

“Allie was amazing and so easy to work with. Our pups came back happy and I know they had a great time!”


13. Matt R.

“Matt was great! Champ came home exhausted so I know he received great attention and care. I would definitely book him to stay with Matt again!”


14. Jennifer C.

“If you want a sitter that loves your pup like their own, Jennifer is your girl. She is a rockstar when it comes to caring for your dog and the piece of mind you get from all of her photos and videos while you’re away is unmatched. She has three awesome, well behaved pups of her own and now that my dog is home, he misses his new friends and he’s upset that he’s not as entertained as he was the entire past week that I’ve been gone. Her house is spotless and dog proof. I was also at ease knowing that she is professionally trained as a Vet Tech if anything went wrong. I cannot sing Jennifer’s praises enough and would absolutely recommend her for any services she offers on Rover. She will be my first call in the future when I need a sitter and my first recommendation to friends and family!”


15. Kiera F.

“Kiera and Nona took such good care of Bella.”


16. Jackie S.

“Jackie did an awesome job, and was even willing to bring Willow to our wedding downtown to snap a few pictures which we really really appreciated and made our big day even better”


17. EDNA CRISTINA G.
“Edna Cristina has cared for my dogs (and my children initially) on and off for nearly 8 years. She is extremely reliable and develops an amazing rapport with all animals she encounters. She has a big heart and cares deeply about those in her charge. Edna Cristina is a delightful person. She holds high standards and is always interested in learning new skills. She taught herself how to groom our two big, hairy Golden Retrievers. They adore and miss her since she doesn't live near us anymore. Anyone who has the chance to hire her is lucky!”


18. Richard S.
About: I have been taking care of special needs dogs for the last few years, and my oldest (Leo) is 22 & still very active. I can also help with puppy training or boarding depending on breed. I work remotely from home so my schedule is pretty flexible aside from taking care of my own dogs & personal life. I am pretty much open without having yo provide much notice in an emergency situation. I treat my dogs like children, and unfortunately are very spoiled with walks & attention on a daily basis. There safety & happiness are my top priority , and would treat ur animals the same.


19. paul b.


“Paul and his wife are absolutely amazing. They’ve cared for my Golden Retriever twice so far and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who’s in need of a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!”


20. Inessa P.
About: I’m very good with different personalities of the dog and can work to what they feel comfortable with. Love giving them attention and making them happy! I am free from 3-7pm after I get off work. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my afternoon schedule and is a great distressor as well. Depending on the animal we can play more outside or inside make sure they are feeling loved and happy. My dog personally loves being outside so we spend most our time on walks.
