“Kathy took great care Cosmo. He had only recently started taking medications and she watched me give him his pills the morning I dropped him off so she would be able to give him his twice daily pills every day. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“We were very pleased with the care given to our two dogs during our 7 day trip. Anna was great to keep us informed daily, text back quickly and stay on top of things. For the first time in many years, we actually had a relaxed vacation. We certainly will plan on using Anna again in the future.”

“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”

“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”

“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom who treats every dog like my own. I provide personalized care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates. My home is a safe, loving environment, and my friendly miniature poodle, Knox, enjoys making new dog friends. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom myself. I work during the day, but I’m able to come home and check on pups throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are when I have the most availability for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I make sure every dog gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while they’re with me. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a backyard where they can safely run and play, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My miniature poodle, Knox, is friendly and enjoys having dog friends to play with and keep him company. We stay active with multiple walks throughout the day, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I do my best to follow each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home during their stay.
“Angela is amazing and did a great job keeping us updated on our pup! We knew he was in great hands. So appreciated her communication. Our dog did great with her pup!”

“Susan is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I miss them just a little less because I know they are safe and having fun with Susan. We are so lucky to have found her! We love you, Susan! Be our Valentine. Can’t thank you enough!!!!”

“I recently relocated to NC and after having a great Rover family where I came from, it was important to find a new Rover home where I felt my best buddy, Ollie was happy. After one visit, I think I found one! OllIe loves to play with other dogs and Austin expressed how happy Ollie appeared playing chase at Austin’s home with his dogs. Since Ollie got home, he’s been himself, but slept most of the day his first day home. Clearly he was tired! Thanks Austin.”
“Tara and Peter were great hosts for our Louie. We got regular video and photo updates and Louie seemed engaged and happy with their other dogs. They communicated and eased our nerves with a meet and greet. We asked if they could be flexible with our pick up time since we were flying home and they were understanding and even said they could keep Louie an additional night if we landed late. We would definitely use them again in the future.”

“Kaitlynn was great! I loved that she updated me on how my puppy was doing, i was a little nervous because she's anxious around people but wants attention at the same time. Will definitely be booking again!”

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
“Mike was fantastic. He took great care of our dog while we were out of the country. He sent us photo updates throughout the stay. His backyard is fully fenced in and beautiful. And Pickle and Burt were very welcoming to Theo. We will book Mike again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”

“Boarding with Clifford was simple in every step of the process! He took great care of our pup. His big fenced in back yard is the perfect spot for everyone to play and get their energy out! We were very happy with Clifford's care and will look to return in the future!”

“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”

“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”

Richmond Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Austin. We had never left Rusty with anyone but family before, so we were nervous. Austin cared for our little guy like he was family. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry. We received pictures and communications to put our minds at ease. We will definitely have Rusty stay with Austin and his wonderful family anytime we go away in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Chris Mancuso
