Christina was the best Rover we have ever had! We felt so comfortable leaving Bo with Christina while we were traveling overseas. We received daily updates and Bo looked like he was living his best life and getting plenty of exercise. As soon as we got home, Bo slept all day!! Will definitely be bringing Bo back!

Erica, again, took wonderful care of Sully. He comes home happy, tired from romping with his friends and no whining. He ate well, also. We will continue to use Erica’s sitting service whenever she is available. Thank you!

Karissa is very caring and will love your dogs like her own for the time she has them. She sends pictures at least once a day so you know they’re doing well. My dog had a great weekend while I was away. Would book again if I need it! Thank you so much!

Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.

Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our French Bulldog Zoe while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. We received daily updates and it was clear Zoe was having a great time! We highly recommend her, especially for anyone whose dog had a medical condition (Zoe had back issues and Sharon was so attentive to them, it really put our minds at ease).

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.

This was our first experience on Rover and if it can get better than Leanne, I’d be shocked. We’d only boarded our little guy once (2 week ago at our vet) and it was nothing compared to this. Leanne was communicative, sent us tons of photos of our happy pup, and was very easy to exchange info/socialize our pups in advance. On our way back from our time away, my wife and I were saying we can’t wait to leave a review…and we hope our Blue dog wants to come home ?. Thank you Leanne for caring for our boys along with all of your own. Leanne is close to TF Green as well, so super convenient for families that need care and may be flying. We’ve found our go to sitter for our little guy.

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Forest this weekend. It means the world to us knowing he was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Your kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the time and attention you gave him. We truly appreciate you and feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our furry family member. With heartfelt thanks, Dave and Ana

Stay was awesome. They were super welcoming, accommodating, and were amazing with my puppy. She loved being there for the weekend and I loved the updates I got knowing she was ok. I love talking to them about better ways to train my pup and they are a great sounding board for a new puppy owner like me. I can't recommend them enough!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently care for two dogs — including a large, high-energy dog and a playful puppy — as well as multiple cats, including my senior cat who I’ve had for 14 years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with: • feeding and fresh water • walks and potty breaks • playtime and enrichment • cleaning litter boxes / accidents • giving pets attention and helping them feel comfortable • recognizing when something seems off or out of the ordinary I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m currently home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because I know they’re family. I currently care for multiple pets of my own, including a senior cat I’ve had for 14 years, a large adult dog, and an energetic puppy. That experience has made me comfortable with different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs playtime, a potty break, cuddles, meals, or just a calm and reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a fully fenced in yard and two goofy and energetic dogs to play in/with! I take your pets safety with the utmost respect and care

Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hazel and sent a lot of pictures and updates. She also took her on nice walks and Hazel had plenty of outside time. She administered Hazel's medication each day as well. Overall, Elizabeth did a great job with my dog.
