“Bradley went on a real “vacay” at Arnoldo’s home. This was such an awesome way to travel knowing my pup was in a safe, fun, and loving place. The pictures he sent daily were such quality that some are suited to be framed. Arnoldo is delightful, warm, calm and easy to get to know. All in All this Rover sitter is a keeper!! Five Star care given. Bradley ran right in and never looked back as I left. I highly recommend Arnoldo!!!”

“Tanisha is a phenomenal communicator (sincerely reducing the stress in my life) and an even better dog hangler (sincerely reducing the stress in Selene's life). I could not have asked for a better experience.”


About: I’m a 20-year-old outgoing and attentive pet sitter with hands-on experience working at PetSmart. There, I learned how to properly care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, handling, and recognizing their needs. Outside of work, I’ve also helped care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m great at following instructions and keeping routines consistent, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs extra care. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to provide the best care possible.” I currently have open availability, which allows me to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on both weekdays and weekends. Because of my flexible schedule, I can stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervision. I have a fenced yard for playtime and friendly dogs to keep your pet company if they enjoy socializing. I always monitor interactions closely and can separate or crate pets if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities
“I'm so glad I chose Kristen to dogsit my new rescue pup! Kristen suggested a meet and greet to make sure we were a good fit, and asked questions that made me feel at ease. It was clear she was experienced. She kept me up to date with my pup during her stay, which I appreciated. I would definitely hire her again!”

“My Macey Pooh had the BEST time ever! This was his first boarding experience, and I’m so relieved everything went so well. Lakiesha kept me updated and even sent pictures during his one-night stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely be referring her to my friends and using her services again!”

“Ranesha did a great job with Apollo. I had a last minute trip to make. Ranesha was available and willing to care for Apollo. I'm always nervous about giving him to anyone. But she sent pictures of hia stay and I can he was smiling in the pics. Also, she picked up and dropped off Apollo l, which was a time saver. Definitely recommended Ranesha!”


“Briony & Dior took special care of my cat and kitten! They felt safe and comfortable and felt good leaving my 2 cats in their care. Great warm and welcoming people! I will definitely be booking an overnight stay for my cats again with them! 😁”

“I would definitely recommend Lilieka to any other family looking for someone to watch and care for your pet, as if they were family. Capone was very anxious when he first arrived, so that had me anxious and uneasy as well LOL but within the first hour of drop off I received pictures from Lilieka assuring me that Capone had calmed down and was attempting to settle in. Throughout the day I received numerous pictures and messages showing me that my fur baby was having a good time as if he was staying with fellow relatives. I loved that Capone was able to interact with the entire family, he truly enjoyed his stay and took well care of him. Both the drop off and pick up went smooth. Lilieka truly deserves these 5 STARS 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 THANKS AGAIN”

“Well it's not one person watching your pet, it's the whole family that's vested in your pets happiness. I think the kids were more upset he was leaving like it was their cousin they played with. That's when you know your pet had a good time. He acted like he really didn't want to come back home. I would definitely use them again.”

“This is our second time working with Audrey and Isaiah and it was just as wonderful! Our dog Niko was so well taken care of and I really appreciate all their excellent communication and photos they send. I love that they only take one dog at a time so we know he gets all their attention. :) You can tell they love animals. It’s so easy getting to their house for drop off and pick up, too - so conveniently located off the highway. I can’t recommend them enough!”

“I wish I could give her 10 stars. This was a last minute reservation due to my other backing out. The best decision I could have made. Jaclyn is an absolute gem. My Kyro loves her and her family. She is my new furbaby sitter. She has extensive knowlegde with pets”

“I ws absolutely blown away by Jennifer and Nick’s boarding service. From the moment I met them, it was clear they are experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about caring for dogs. They not only answered all of my questions thoroughly, but also asked thoughtful questions of their own to make sure our dog’s stay was as comfortable and personalized as possible. Jennifer and Nick are incredibly kind and communicative. Throughout the stay, I received frequent updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. Their place is only 10 minutes from the airport and easy to find. When I picked her up, she had been bathed (such a wonderful surprise!) and they even sent her home with a thoughtful little gift bag. That level of care and attention to detail truly sets them apart. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We’re so grateful to have found Jennifer and Nick and will absolutely trust them with our girl again in the future. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of her!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, caring for pets like dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I’m currently in college studying to become a vet tech and work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I started pet sitting in August of last year and have loved every second of it! I provide personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, and I treat every pet like family. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friends—I’d love to meet them! I am currently a student, and my work schedule varies weekly, typically ranging between 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM. However, I pride myself on being highly flexible and am happy to accommodate your needs with clear and timely communication. I currently have two dogs at home—a pit mix and a greyhound mix. My pit mix does not get along with other dogs, so I have experience managing and keeping dogs safely separated when necessary. I am also experienced in administering medications and ensuring pets receive the care they need. Additionally, I provide detailed updates and photos throughout the day to keep you informed and at ease.
“Naomi was such a joy to have watch our dog Milo! She was so sweet with Milo and he had a great time at her home! She is organized, super kind, understanding, and very workable. She sent pictures to us daily of Milo which was so nice! She kept him safe and healthy. We are so grateful for her and look forward to having her sit Milo for us in the future! ❤️”


“Mrs. Loleatha’s services were excellent. My fur baby was well taken care of by Mrs. Loleatha. She even sent pictures daily to give me a peace of mind. Will definitely use her services again.”

Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shanique was so kind and nice. I told her how nervous I was leaving my dog due to a previous terrible experience using Rover, she reassure me multiple time that my dog was in good hands. While away it was my doggy’s bday and she made sure to celebrate it making him feel special and celebrated with his new doggy friends. She was always updating me with pictures. I highly recommend and I will definitely be booking with her again. My dog was so happy before, during and after. Showing that he was well taken care of

This is my first time using Rover.com service. I'm very pleased with the service. I was given a choice for dog sitters. I chose Shronda. She was only 3 miles form me. She took very good care of my granddaughters Yorkie. She provided me with pictures. Shronda provided good care for Cookie for 8-9days. Thank you again Shronda and Rover.

This is the 10th time I believe that Mary has watched our pups. This trip was almost 2 weeks and they did great. Mary sends pictures and videos so we know how the pups are doing. When we get close to her house the pups start barking with excitement because they know they will be staying with Mary. We appreciate her so much. We never worry when she cares for our pups.

The stay went smoothly and I didn’t have any issues with my pet’s care. However, the interaction felt a bit distant. The sitter wasn’t very talkative, and pickup felt rushed — she handed me my pet’s things and quickly closed the door without much conversation. Also, I wasn’t sent any photos during the two-day stay, which I would’ve appreciated for peace of mind. Nothing major, but I personally value more communication and warmth throughout the stay.
