“Great experience. This was my first time using Rover and my puppy’s first time being away from me. I got pictures of him everyday to know he was ok and it looked like he had a great and very comfortable time. I will definitely book again if I have to go out of town again. Very nice and caring with the dogs.”

“Michael and his family are kind and welcoming and made Timmy feel right at home! Timmy looked at ease within seconds of arrival and Michael kept us updated with lots of photos, videos and stories about Timmy’s antics throughout his stay. Highly recommend!”

“Zoraya was wonderful with our pup. She was able to watch him in a pinch and sent lots of updates with pictures and videos, just like we like. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Tong has been an amazing sitter for our pets, Pisi and Gunner. She took them on regular walks, kept them engaged with fun activities, and always sent us frequent photo and video updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Pisi even became best friends with her dog, Lu Lu, and it was clear they all had a wonderful time together. Our pets were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved being with her. We would love book Tong again and highly recommend her!”

“Macey is the best! She is very communicative and sends lots of photos! I do not worry about my little lady doggie baby at all. In addition, my dog grows more and more excited as we prepare her things for the stay and drive over. I love that for her! 💗”

“Alexis was an amazing last minute dog sitter after my prior plans with another sitter fell through. Moose was immediately happy to see her and ready to go spend the weekend his weekend away from home. Got daily updates/pics annd always knew he was getting plenty of love/attention. Would recommend 10/10.”

“The family took such great care of Simba! He was so happy playing with the other dogs. Erica sent lots of pictures, and it was clear that a lot of quality time was put in. I felt like Simba was with an extended family rather than strangers. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking with them all the time!”

“Lidia was amazing with my nearly 14 year old Yorkie. She kept me updated about her behavior and provided videos and photographs throughout my dog’s stay. I couldn’t have been happier with Lidia. I am making my next booking now.”

“Karen took very good care of my dog. She provided updates about her mood, what activities she was doing, and her diet. I would have Karen watch my dog again any time.”


“Emi was great! She communicated quickly and frequently. She sent so many pictures and I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy! I will definitely use Emi again, I recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She will love your pup like they are hers!”

“Ruth has watched my dog, Karma, twice now. Karma gets so excited to come over to her house! Ruth is incredibly attentive to Karma and lets me know about everything that happens. Highly recommend!”

“My puppy loved staying with Mariyana. I have a 3 month old puppy who stayed 2 nights and she made sure to send me videos and pictures of him which eased my mind a lot. I’ll definitely book again!”

“Thank you for taking care of our Zeus! I appreciate the daily photos for check in. She came to pick up and drop off Zeus which made everything easy with ZERO hassle. Kimberly, you did a great job and i will definitely be booking again. She responded very quickly and accepted my booking almost immediately.”

“Bondi had the best time during her week with Steven! We got to play with lots of other dogs and was constantly cared for. I loved receiving pictures of her during the day. We'll definitely bring her here again!”

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“Mary was amazing with Jack! He adapted so quickly and looked happy in every photo. She kept great communication and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can truly tell she cares and loves dogs. Highly recommend!”

Ms. LeeAnna took such great care of my puppy Bea!! I was away for a week but she put me at ease with the constant updates and pictures. Bea had so much fun with her and her puppy Piper! Her days were full of fun at the park and yummy homeade treats 🐶 I’m so thankful to LeeAnna for taking such great care of her and will definitely rebook her in the future!! 🐾

Stephanie was amazing with our two fur babies. They really seemed to enjoy their time there (as evidenced by all the videos and pictures she sent) and I really think she treated them as her own during that time, which is all I can really ask for. I'm so thankful we've found her!

Claudia was very welcoming and understanding. She did an amazing job taking care of Poh! She was very attentive and caring, and even took the time to brush him and clean his bed, which I really appreciated. Poh looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got back. She also took the request last minute, which made everything so much easier and less stressful. I would definitely trust Claudia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pets.❤️

Michelle is THE BEST!!! I found Michelle last minute in a panic and she was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous. She was soooo incredibly patient with me as I kept going back and forth deciding if I would take them with me or just give myself a break and leave them with her. I am so glad I made the decision to leave my dogs with Michelle. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michelle checked in multiple times a day with photos and updates. She kept my dogs an extra day when I needed it at the last minute, squeezing them in before another client. She also took the time to educate me on some behavioral things I could work on with one of my dogs. Michelle truly went above and beyond from the start, up until the moment she dropped off my babies. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in every way. My dogs are in great hands with her and she is now my permanent go-to sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle without hesitation!

Wow. How amazing is Alexandra?! I was really worried about leaving my high anxiety, elder dog for a week while I was out of the country. Alexandra took wonderful care of him and sent me daily photos, videos, and updates. It was such a relief to know he was so well taken care of while I was gone. Highly recommended!

Our two pups were so well-cared for while we were on a week-long trip. Tommie and Jeffrey share their lovely home and backyard and definitely made our dogs feel comfortable, happy, loved and at home. They worked with our shy girl to make her feel special too! We received lots of updates too that I definitely appreciated! Thank you!

Nicole and her husband took care of our corgi Gilly for a week, and she was very responsive and sent several photos of walks and hanging out at home. After we took Gilly home, he was super tired because he's been playing with their dog Benji all week. It seems like he had a great time! Highly recommend Nicole!
