“Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Abby while we were away. Abby came home happy, well cared for, and even clean, it seemed like Lisa even gave her a bath while she had her! She was incredibly accommodating, especially when our flight was unexpectedly canceled due to weather. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Abby was in good hands. Highly recommend Lisa!”
“Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.”
“Sandi stay with Beverly was great. She’s attentive and communicated daily with text and by sending pictures. She gets a 10 out of 10 rating and Sandi will be back again.”
“Marie is awesome!!! From the first meeting we had, she made us feel comfortable leaving Yani with her. It was hard for us to leave him for that long (3 weeks) and be thousands of miles away, but with her sending pictures consistently and giving us daily updates, she made it a lot easier for us. She even took time to hand- feed ( being a picky eater) and train Yani as well which is a big PLUS!!! She even gave us a list of what their routine was and the commands she taught so we can follow through. We can’t thank her enough for what she has done taking care of our fur-baby, and would definitely book her again.”
“We don’t leave our baby often, but we’re in a position where our normal baby sitters couldn’t watch him. We met Meghan before hand and felt confident she would take good care of our Buck! She sent us updates and made us feel he was well taken care of! Would recommend Megahn and her family for boarding to anyone in need!”
“They were extremely sweet with my baby girl. Very understanding and I loved that they sent pics/videos. The communication was awesome (that can be my biggest pet peeve). No complaints!”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“We are a repeat customer...Best puppy sitters ever! We didn’t have a care in the world and no doubt that our Monte was being well taken care of! And, we constantly received pictures which was a plus❤️ We will definitely stick with Rachel and Andrew.”
About: Hi there! I'm Leila, and I've been passionate about caring for dogs since childhood. Growing up in a home filled with at least two dogs at any given time (sometimes as many as four!), I've developed a deep understanding of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I've got the experience to cater to their unique needs. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to offer continuous companionship, thanks to my remote work setup. Your furry companion will never experience loneliness or neglect while you're away. I'm fully committed to ensuring your pet feels loved, secure, and content in your absence. My services go beyond basic care. I also provide specialized assistance such as puppy training and senior dog care. I recognize the significance of positive reinforcement and patience with young dogs, and I'm well-versed in the extra care and gentleness required for our senior canine friends. My goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind, knowing that your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! As a remote worker, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This means I can prioritize your pet's needs as required, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding times, or simply providing companionship, I adapt my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique requirements. I'm committed to providing personalized care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and content in their environment. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and following any specific instructions you've provided. By keeping your pet in their own space, I aim to minimize stress and ensure they receive the highest level of care. Please note that, at this time, I exclusively offer pet-sitting services in your home, ensuring your pet's comfort and security while you're away.
“Ayana did a wonderful job caring for our doggies while we were away on vacation. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about our fur babies. She sent pics and daily updates. She even provided story time for them. So cute! They loved it there! We’d definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Chris and his Fiancé was so Great to My Gucci . I would recommend them to anybody . I had worries at first since this was my first time using this app. But nevertheless it was stress free and I’m so glad that I chose to book with yall . Thank you & Thank you again for all yall did for me and Gucci .”
“Catina was wonderful with my dog. She sent me pictures and updates daily about how my dog was doing. He has separation anxiety and she made sure to take care of him like he was her own dog. My dog also enjoyed playing with Catina’s dog while she watched him. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town.”
“We have used Maria several times for our dog Pepper and every time Pepper has a great time. Staying at Maria’s is like a puppy vacation resort. My wife and I can’t recommend Maria enough.”
“Cassie and Tradd were the BEST home away from home for our dog! They sent us lots of updates and he was always smiling so wide, we knew he was well loved. We cannot recommend them enough - they have definitely become our go-to Rover family!”
“Shannon took such great care of our dog, Ruby. Shannon sent multiple photos of Ruby during her stay, reassuring us that she was enjoying herself. We'll definitely use Shannon again in the future!”
“This family is awesome. They are well worth the money they provided so much love and support from my Rottweiler. He had such a good time and he enjoyed himself. I recommend this family to anyone that needs a pet that are because they are out of this world truly five star.”
“Johnathan was a great sitter really went above and beyond for my kitty son. His regular sitter moved and we tried Johnathan for the first time. He was very communicative and even offered to help me settle my cat in and see where he will be at. He kept constant communications and pics of my kitty. You can tell he really does care for animals. Very polite and respectful I’ll always trust him with my son knowing he’s in good hands. It was a rough beginning with my cat getting settled in but Johnathan was very patient and understanding. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Michelle was very sweet to my pups and extremely accommodating to my ever changing schedule! She took the time to ensure my Border Collie got exercise and that my senior Shitzu got plenty of comfy naps! She was also really great about sending pictures and updates. I’d absolutely recommend her!”
Portsmouth pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you, Mely!!! She was extremely considerate and attentive with my older girl, Mochi. With the highly responsive and transparent communications, regular pictures, and extra steps taken to make her feel comfortable, I know Mochi was in great hands with Mely. I 100% trust her with my sweet girl and will be booking again!!!
Madison was fantastic! I had a bit of a hectic schedule and she accommodated my changes with no problem at all. Cooper took to her very well, He was his happy chunky self when I picked him up. Within a few hours Cooper was already making himself at home and getting belly rubs. 100% will be booking with Madison again. Thank you!
Highly recommend booking with Elexus! She is so sweet and great with dogs. She took the time to get to know our Australian shepherd through our profile before his stay which made me feel very at ease. She was extremely communicative throughout our week long trip and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She also sent multiple pictures throughout each day! If you’re looking for a kind, professional, communicative, and active person who loves dogs, Elexus is your girl!
Brittany was amazing!! She was so communicative while I was away. She sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates so I was never worried how Winston was doing. He seemed to get plenty of exercise, even going to the dog park, and loved playing with her dogs as well. I really think Winston was spoiled on his time away! I will definitely be using Brittany again for when I go out of town.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ashlynn and her family. We’ve booked with her over 15 times, and that consistency alone speaks volumes about the trust and appreciation we have for the care she provides. From day one, Ashlynn has been incredibly reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. It’s such a relief knowing Marly, our dog, is not only safe, but truly cared for and loved while we’re away. Her family creates such a warm, welcoming environment which feels more like a second home than a pet sitting service. She goes above and beyond in the little ways that matter: thoughtful updates, flexibility when plans shift, and always treating our pup like her own family. It’s rare to find someone you can trust this completely, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashlynn to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and high-quality pet care.
I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'. I highly recommend Daisy, husband Walter and their 'boy' Teddy!!!!
Isaac took excellent care of our dogs, Duchess and Jojo, while we were away on a week-long cruise. His communication was great throughout our trip, and we really appreciated the frequent photo updates. We picked up our pups happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Very easy to drop them off and pick up, Brandon came to help and was super friendly and very welcoming for my chaotic kiddos. He did a phenomenal job taking good care of them while I was away. I got lots of pictures of their walks and the fun things they did this amend. I was worried because one of my boys has an anxious attachment personality due to his upbringing before I adopted him, but that wasn’t much of an issue with him due to the comfort and care that was provided. Extremely happy with the service (:
Kaitlynn went above and beyond for my dog Betty Lu. She accepted my last minute booking and was very helpful from the start. She did way more than was asked of her, I can’t express enough how thankful I am. I will be booking her again for all my future dog sitting needs!!!
