“Cody and Tia were great! Super responsive and sent me photos and videos throughout the day so I knew my pup was being well taken care of. He came home tired and happy and I will definitely be using them for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Our black lab Roxy boarded with Alissa and Chris the last 9 nights. Roxy absolutely was cared by the best!! Roxy got along great with the other dogs. Roxy has never been as well groomed by an other. Alissa is very responsive and shared updates and pictures through out the stay. Alissa and Chris went over and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend them and we will use them again thanks Alissa and Chris”
“Elise did such a good job with my puppy! Our cute little furball came home happy and very well loved. Not only did her kids give her lots of attention (which is just like home), but our puppy got lots of interaction with their dog too, which was really helpful for her socializing. We knew she was in good hands! And as an added perk, Elise even sent a picture and video of our puppy playing in the snow. Too cute! Thank you, Elise! We will definitely be returning!”
“Phoebe was fantastic! She was flexible with the pick up and drop off time. Leica was well taken care of and happy when we picked her up. It was a wonderful experience. We plan on using her again soon. Thank you! 🙏🏻”
“Our dog was well cared for with Joel. He walked him and gave him lots of play time out door. He sent pictures every day. He even worked on some training things with our dog. We would definitely use him again. Thanks!!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I work from home and have time to play and lets the dogs outside. I have a spacious backyard that my dogs love to play in. I have a fully fenced back yard that my dogs love to play in. Plenty of shade or sun. I also have a dog door for smaller dogs so they can come and go as they please.
About: My pet of 14 years recently passed away. In the meantime, while I’m not ready to adopt another pet yet, I would love to create a loving, calm, and trustworthy environment for pets who need care, attention, and affection while their humans are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand how important it is to feel at ease leaving your pet with someone you trust. My schedule is opened on weekends for boarding and dog sitting, possibly available during the week as needed. Just message me and we can work out the details I live on my own. There is a fence yard where I live and my apartment is pretty spacious to host small to medium dogs.
“Aneice was very friendly, professional, and willing to work with whatever we needed for our doggo. It was our first time leaving him at someone's home, so we were nervous, and so was our anxious pup. She was very reassuring & did her best to make us all comfortable with several photos & updates for us humans, and many snuggles for our dog. She did a fantastic job & I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Aneice! ❤️”
“It was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angelia took amazing care of Piper and kept me at ease the whole time. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her!”
“Krista was amazing! She sent pictures frequently and kept us updated during our trip. Roxy loved spending time with her dogs. We will definitely use Krista again! Thank you so much!”
“Susie is the best! This was our second time leaving our dog with her. It had been several months since we last had her puppy sit. As soon as we got out of the car Chiquita went running right up to Susie and practically jumped into her arms. She is great at communicating and sending pictures and loving on our dog.”
“Cassie and her family were so welcoming and loving for our German Shepherd, she had a great vacation and was definitely spoiled and cared for. Cassie sent us updates and photos during the whole stay and it was so comforting knowing our girl Harley was in good hands while we were away!”
“Edgar was an awesome dog sitter. Provided timely response, daily updates with pictures and videos. His two pups made it real easy for Chevy to make friends real quick. Edgar also provided some good excersise for Chevy which is a huge plus especially for herding dogs. Would highly recommend and would book again!”
“Oh my goodness I couldn’t leave a happier review! Nemesis was absolutely amazing with our puppy Dune!! We received lots of updates throughout the stay along with pictures and videos. Her dogs also loved to play with Dune which he enjoyed! She took him on adventures and gave him lots of love, we would definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Jason and his family were great with Lucy. I knew she was in good hands when I went out of the country for a week. He gave me updates, took her on walks and played with her. Lucy had a great time and I will definitely use Jason’s services the next trip we take. Thanks Jason!”
“Emily did wonderfully with our anxious girl! She sent lots of uspdates and photos, and when our pup got an upset tummy from separation anxiety she gave her some pumpkin for her tummy. I would absolutely trust Emily to watch my dog again! You can tell she's very experienced and wonderful with dogs!”
“This is our second great experience with Ashley and Michael. Despite Ruby being scared when she arrived, Michael took that in stride and did his best to help her settle in (and me escape) quickly and effectively. They always send pics and I so appreciate them allowing her to act like one of their own.”
Riverdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
We got lots of pictures and updates throughout my pups' stay with Susie. When i picked them up, they didnt seem stressed, dirty/stinky, deprived of love and attention. Susie was very aware and cautious of my one dog's bee allergy. I definitely felt comfortable with her care of my pups
We needed someone super last minute to stay with our cats overnight and she was honestly amazing. She responded really fast, was easy to communicate with, and took such good care of them. I loved getting the pictures and updates, it made being away way less stressful. Definitely would book with her again
Sandy is very personable and knowledgeable about dogs. Since our first meeting, she has provided info about how she cares for dogs, her own as well as others. Cooper liked Sandy & her home and yard right away. He was happy to leave with her and happy to come home. She was kind and understanding about the nervous peedles. Sandy sent videos showing Cooper having fun running, and playing with a dog she provides daycare for which I appreciated. I provided Cooper's food, but when he charmed her into giving a little more rice with carrots and green beans, she cooked more for him. Will definitely ask Sandy and Chris to take care of Cooper again.
Chaylee was wonderful. This was our first time ever boarding or having someone watch our dog that wasn’t a family member. She was extremely kind, very responsive, sent many photos that honestly helped with the anxious feeling of our Ghost being in a new place. It was very much a new happy place. Truly she deeply cares for pets and is just a kind and sweet soul. Thank you very much
Liz was amazing at taking care of our dog while we were on vacation over the 4th of July. Our dog is very nervous of fireworks but she and her family helped accommodate him to not be so anxious. Auggie seemed to fit right in with their family and was well taken care of.
