“Shanieka was absolutely fantastic with Shaka! 🐾 She consistently sent me updates whenever I asked, including adorable photos and videos. Shaka really seemed to feel right at home with her! You can tell she takes care of every dog as if it were her own. Based on previous reviews, I can definitely vouch for her! I highly recommend Shanieka and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. 🌟🐶”


“Having recently moved to the area, this was our first time using Rover. After poring through many reviews over and over again, I kept being drawn to Jannine. There was something about her that even shone through loud and clear through her profile. When Ripley and I went to meet Jannine and her adorable Pebbles, we stayed for nearly an hour! Ripley had a blast with both Jannine and Pebbles. When Ripley stayed for his 4 night sleepover, Jannine sent me a picture and an update daily. She is so loving and caring and has a very nurturing personality that makes her the perfect "pet nanny." The only thing I was hesitant about was picking up Ripley on Saturday and him not wanting to go home! LOL I will definitely use her as my first choice go-to whenever we have to go out of town. Thanks, Jannine!! You are the best!!”

“Ashley is such a great dog sitter! You can tell how much she really loves dogs and is in tune with their behavior. She took such good care of my shy pups (walks, playtime, treats, puzzles, etc…) and sent super frequent pictures and updates. I was so comfortable that my dogs were in great hands while I was traveling, and she even gave me some wonderful tips and tricks for training my dogs at home when I was quizzing her about all the fantastic training she does with her own dogs! I will 100% be using her again in the future.”

“I found out about rover through a neighborhood chat. I had to make a last minute trip to Tampa and found Holly on Rover. From the start, she made me feel at ease. She and her family took such great care of Chipper, sending daily updates, giving him plenty of walks, playtime, and love. When I picked him up, he actually ran back to her front door like he didn’t want to leave, kinda hurt me. That meant everything to me. I’m truly grateful for Holly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Chipper back the next time I have to go out of town.”


“A wonderful, kind, and caring lady. She was very communicative and even sent pictures of my dog while we were gone. She has a lovely home for a dog and backyard for them to play in.”


“Love using Ashley as a sitter! I always get great updates and she answers all my questions. She has always been very careful about monitoring my dog with dietary needs to make sure he doesn’t eat another pup’s food and is going potty regularly. My dogs both came home tired from lots of play - I know they are well loved and cared for in her home!”


“Holly’s stay with Jane was great. Jane shared a few photos of Holly playing. Jane was very professional and accommodating. She too good care of Holly while we were away. I would definitely use Jane again in the future.”
