This was our first time using Rover for one of our dogs so I was a little nervous. Janis sent pictures of our dog every day while we were gone. I felt very comfortable leaving Remy in her care. Our pup seemed happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to someone and will be reaching out again if we ever need a sitter. Thanks, Janis!

Mary & Marty we cannot thank you enough for taking care of Luna during the week that I was traveling. Your attentiveness, kindness, and open communication was truly appreciated. We don't typically leave Luna with anyone but it so wonderful to know that you both are pet lovers and treated her just like your own. Thanks again for all of the photos while I was away. It truly put me at ease knowing that Luna was in your care! You guys are the best!

Shanie loved our Pepper and took wonderful care of her for us. She sent pictures of our puppet having a great time playing with other dogs. I will always ask Shanie to take care of our sweet girl.

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.

I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She was extremely communicative and it was very obvious how great of a dog mom she is. I felt so happy knowing my baby was in her care. Moose had the best time!

Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.

Duane took such good care of my adult (6yo) mini poodle. Although it was only one night that my dog stayed with him, I could clearly see that she became a good friend of him and when I went to pick her up after the stay.

About: I’ve always had pets in my family growing up and have plenty experience with dogs and cats. I’ve also successfully potty trained all pets I’ve ever owned before the age of 1. My work schedule is pretty open at this time. Please reach out if you are needing a morning sitter or weekend sitter and I’d be happy to help! I have two very well behaved cats that keep to themselves and we have a yard for all your pets playing and potty time needs

Alisha was great with our 7 yr old coonhound, Beau!! Highly recommend. We had a situation where we needed to book an overnight boarding last minute and she was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our pup got along great with her and her pets. We could tell he was very comfortable there. She kept us updated throughout his visit, which is always greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely be rebooking when in the area :) thanks Alisha!!
