“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”


“Paula provided just what we needed for our Chihuahua—a safe place to stay while we were in town for lunch. Our venue was not dog friendly, but knowing that our pup was being well cared for put our minds at ease.”


“Rebecca was amazing! She met with me before watching my dogs and she was very loving and attentive to both of them. She kept me informed about how they did while I was gone and kept the report card up-to-date. She left my house very clean and she was very respectful. I would definitely use her again!”


“Bree was great with our two dogs that she had for doggy daycare while we moved our son into college. They had the best big yard to play in and lots of love. She was very communicative, sent pictures, and we certainly would use her again!”


“Carolyn was an absolute gem with Stella. She was super responsive, provided fun photos & videos throughout the day, and provided me with a nice wrap up of the day when I picked Stella up. For the first time ever, Stella did not seem to want to come home! I will be rebooking with Carolyn very soon and highly recommend her for all your doggy needs.”


“Jessica and James have both been great daycare hosts! They’re efficient communicators and home most of the day so my dog gets a lot of time outside the crate. They’re great at being flexible as well and we definitely recommend and will continue to use regularly. This was my first rover experience and it was great!”


“Athena had another amazing time with Svitlana at her home! They played in the backyard and met a new dog friend, which got Athena into the nap mode. Look forward to our next meeting!”



“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”



“Rachel went out of her way to provide Hazel with exceptional care. I received many cute updates throughout the day and at the end of the day picked up a happy and tired girl!”


“I’ve been taking my dog to Jenny once a week for over a month now, and I’d highly recommend her. Luka always ends the day tired from plenty of walks, and Jenny’s communication and pictures of my dog make me feel confident that he’s having a great time in her care.”


About: I have had a dog since 2012 when I finished my time in an operational Navy squadron. My family has rescued several dogs (we have six now!), and I have a 9-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix. I recently began fostering to help give shelter dogs a break, which led to me adopting my second pup, a year-old boxer mix. My dog is diabetic, meaning I am comfortable and able to administer injectable medication if needed, and can handle oral medication as well. I have taken care of everything from 2-month old puppies to 13-year-old senior dogs. I love them all. I work from home, so my hours are flexible. Generally will take my dog for a longer walk in the morning and after lunch, and several potty breaks throughout the day as she needs. I have a big front and side yard, but no fence. I am extremely careful with the dogs on the leash, plus always make sure that I'm aware of what our surroundings are.

“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”


About: I am a social person. I’ll work hard and take good care of your dog. I have a dog back home. I love dogs a lot. I’m free all day Friday-Sunday. I’m a former football player so I know that I’ll be dedicated to giving your dog the best care. I truly love dogs. We have a playground for the dog here at my apartment. They have treats everywhere for pets and I believe this is a great space for a dog to be.


“Ashley was so accommodating and communicative! My train was over 2 hours late getting back and she checked in and took great care of Luna. I am so appreciative of all the photos and updates she gave throughout the day. I will be leaving Luna with Ashley again!”


About: Is your dog quirky, energetic, or prone to silly behavior? I’m a dog walker at the SPCA with varied canine care experience, and I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and sensibilities. I have open availability during the week, and I love nothing more than spending those days walking dogs! I’m always open to making something work and getting your pup the exercise that it needs. I have a quiet apartment near some great walking trails! I can crate your dog if needed and I’m able to offer a flexible potty break schedule during the day.

“Isaiah was an a amazing sitter! We needed him last minute as we found out late about meeting a friend that was from Germany. He was very transparent when it came to how my Cali was that day and what his plans were to keep them busy. He asks all the questions and was VERY, VERY patient with us.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.

“Lindsay is great! Our pup has a great time roaming freely in her fenced yard, and going on adventures to the river! Benedict is a fantastic pup that is also there sometimes so far, and has been a great play mate. Junie is sooo excited when we pull up to the house she can hardly contain herself...Lindsay is so warm and welcoming that I was soothed too!”
