Charlie has never stayed at a rover house before and he is 10 years old and very high maintenance. He had the best time at Achara’s house and we are so grateful to have found a place for him to stay. Her dogs are very friendly and gave Charlie his space to feel comfortable. He will definitely be back!

Our pet care fell through and Matt was able to accommodate a request for watching my 15 yr old dog. Matt was able took great care her and handled the special kidney diet and daily meds. She looked like she had a good time with lots of walks. Matt sent updates and pictures throughout. Much appreciated and would definitely book again.

Monica is so patient and gentle! My dog has difficulty trusting new people and she really took the time to get to know him. She listened to all of the information about him and acted in ways that calmed him down and made him feel secure. I feel very safe leaving my dog with her!

Ali had a blast with Roy! Roy allowed a meet and greet before Ali’s first stay, which helps us feel comfortable. Ali can get nervous in new places, and Roy when above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable. Roy sent daily updates and photos. Now that we are home our girl is fast asleep because she is tuckered out. We have already booked with Roy again!

Thank you so much for such wonderful care for our Miss Appa! It was so nice to relax at our out-of-town event and see the pics/videos of her getting walks and play times. And that was so nice of you to sleep down on the couch with her. She is a lucky dog!

Martha made my dog feel super comfortable and at home. She also provided me with daily updates while I was out of the country, multiple times a day. I was very pleased and comfortable that my dog was in her care. Will definitely reach out to her the next time I go on vacation. She is the best sitter my dog has ever had!

Ruby enjoyed her time at Michael’s. Even with it being a wet weekend, Ruby had a lot of time to get fresh air, go in daily walks, and play outside. He updated us often with photos. She didn’t look distressed and was clean when picking her up. We will likely use Michael again.

About: I have recently started sitting for a family friends dogs. I am very reliable with walking, feeding and naturing. I have worked with senior dogs as well. I currently work from home so I have more time to take care of pets. With free time during the weekends as well. I would be able to take the animals out 2-3 time during the week on breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a safe environment tailored to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and exercise requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

Julie was amazing! From the very first contact she asked if I was interested in a meet & greet. This is the first time someone on Rover has asked me that. From my visit and conversation, I know that Julie would take great care of my pups. This was the first time I left Benji with someone else so I was extremely nervous. Every day Julie sent an update along with pictures. My pups looked extremely happy and cared for when I picked them up. I will definitely be rebooking. Thank you again!

I highly recommend him and would definitely be taking my babies back to him. They had a blast. Thank you again so much for caring and for being so kind and thoughful to my fur babies.

I wanted to send a big thank you to you for watching Moose. I am often hesitant about leaving him with someone else, but I truly feel I left him with the right person. I really appreciate how responsive, sweet, and respectful you were throughout the stay. Your knowledge about dogs is clear, and it was wonderful that you could take him on walks and spend time with him while working from home and sending daily updates. I would definitely like to book with you again for my next trip. You are a 10/10 for me :) Thanks again!

I’m amazed at what a wonderful experience this was for me and my dog! I don’t really like letting anyone have my dog, but I trusted Chelsi instantly. She knows how to handle dogs, large dogs, very well. She is very sweet, my dog loved her instantly and I knew he was safe the whole time with continuous updates. Thank you Chelsi for loving my dog as I would.

Danielle was amazing with my dog Omen. Consistent communication throughout his 3 day stay and quick response times. Omen enjoyed being with her dogs and ate quite a lot during his stay with her which means he was probably pretty comfortable as he usually never has an appetite when he’s staying with other people. I definitely recommend booking your babies with Danielle. :)

Davis is fantastic. I’m a repeat client and always book with confidence. Kobe gets plenty of walks, regular updates, and great care throughout the stay. Communication is solid, and Davis is flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which makes traveling much easier. I always know Kobe is in good hands when I’m on vacation. Highly recommend.

Shera is THE BEST! This is the first time I left my two dogs at someone’s house while away and Shera made sure the dogs felt comfortable and gave me frequent updates. I would recommend Shera to anyone, and particularly to anyone who has a reactive dog- her knowledge of animal behavior calmed any fears I had going into the stay. I will 1000% book again and recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter!
