“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of moochie:) they are very good with communication, providing updates and cute pictures of my dog Moochie. He had a great time playing with their dog Ollie. I was a little nervous in the beginning with small Moochie hanging out with big dogs but he seemed to get along with them! Happy he was able to play and socialize. Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She provided exceptional and extremely compassionate care for our dog, Pluto, who boarded with Maria and her family for almost 3 weeks. I was very anxious about leaving Pluto with a stranger because he has some complicated health issues. However, before Pluto boarded with Maria and her family, she came to our place to meet us and discuss Pluto’s needs. She reassured us that she knew how to deal with seizures and could administer Pluto’s pills. Maria was great about reaching out when Pluto was experiencing stomach problems and was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates. She regularly sent us photos of Pluto enjoying his time with other dogs. The fact that Maria also has her own dogs and boards other dogs was a huge plus since Pluto is always with our family at home or at doggy daycare, so he hates being alone. In addition to being highly experienced in pet care, Maria is also extremely compassionate. I always felt that Pluto was in the best hands possible. Maria made a very difficult situation for my family easier since we knew he was getting the best care possible. Thank you so much, Maria! We will definitely be requesting your help again in the future and recommending you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ricky was excellent! He took care of my 85 pound Hound/ Husky. I always am a bit concerned when leaving my dog with someone but when I need to do it again, Ricky will be the first person I contact.”
“Sherry was great! Very professional, flexible, good communication. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! They had lots of fun adventures together and I knew my pet was in good hands. I will use Sherry as my go to sitter from now on and will recommend her to others.”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Wendy is absolutely wonderful. I have a special needs dog who is extremely anxious and also incontinent, and she has been incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating every step of the way. This was my first time using Rover for boarding, and Wendy made the experience so much easier—always quick to respond and understanding of all my concerns. She truly takes the time to get to know my dog’s needs and never makes me feel like any request is too much. I fully trust her with my dog and highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and reliable care.”

“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”
About: With 18 years of experience caring for dogs and other beloved pets, plus hands-on volunteer work at an animal shelter, I’m passionate about providing exceptional care. Your fur babies will be treated like cherished family members!” Working from home gives me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve. I reside in a spacious three-story townhouse overlooking a beautiful golf course, offering plenty of scenic walks for your pet. Your furry friend will be safe and secure with me at all times, enjoying the freedom to explore my home with an abundance of toys to keep them entertained.”
“Araceli was very sweet and accommodating with my dog Bella. This was my first experience using rover and she made it as seamless as possible. She provided photo and video updates which I appreciated! I would definitely book with Araceli in the future for doggy care!”
“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”
“We highly recommend Christine for your pet sitting needs. She took care of our almost blind senior shih tzu this past weekend while we attended an out of town wedding. She is super responsive and easy to work with and fantastic with our little girl who has severe separation anxiety. She kept us up to date with how things were going and sent adorable photos during the visit. Thanks so much Christine and Jax - we are so grateful for your help!!!”
