“Leanne and her husband were great! This was our first time using Rover. We were worried our dog would be anxious but Lilah looked like she had a great time. They were very friendly from the start and kept our pup active with multiple walks and play time. She also sent me daily pictures and updates while away on vacation. We 100% would request to have them watch Lilah again.”
“Jessica was amazing!!! She watched my 11 year old beagle Sally. She sent pictures of Sally cuddling and was very communicative! I would most definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“I hope can give more than 5 star for Yesenia. As soon as we stepped into the house I told them Kelce will love this house such a pet friendly setup. They shared so many pictures and videos which is made us very comfortable. Huge thank you to Yesenia for taking care of our fur baby as there own.”
“Rose has been amazing with our dog Jamie! She is extremely personable, and very accommodating to our needs. She is very good with animals, and really knew how to introduce Jamie to the other boarders and help him assimilate to the environment. This was our first time leaving Jamie in a home other than our own, and we weren’t sure how that was going to play out- and Rose really made us feel comfortable that our baby was in good hands ❤️ Highly recommend!!!”
“Jeffrey took wonderful care of Coda. It was Coda’s first time being cared for by someone outside of our family. Jeffrey sent us updates and pictures. I think Coda was torn between coming back home with us and staying with Jeffrey. She enjoyed her vacation too:) We highly recommend Jeffrey and will be booking with him again.”
“Hali was incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating. She took everything in stride despite delays in my travel and with patience as times for drop off and pick up changed as a result. I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents! Thank you, Hali ☀️”
“Monica clearly loves dogs. She was super kind to our dog Henry, her children played with him and their family dog Mateo was a great playmate for Henry. She updated us each day and sent pictures of what Henry was doing. I would recommend Monica to anyone who needs a dogsitter. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of Henry!”
“Christina and her family provided Tootsie with exceptional care. Despite being out of town with limited cell service, Christina still sent updates. Her patience and love was greatly appreciated. This has been our first successful rover experience with a honest host who only accepted one client at a time. Tootsie was happy and has been napping peacefully since returning home. THANK YOU!! Would highly recommend to others!”
“Debbie is the best. This was our second time having Winters stay with her and I don’t worry a bit! She sends photos and updates and reassurance that my furry baby is all good!”
“Michael was wonderful. My dogs were happy, kept safe and had a great time. Michael sent daily pictures and when I picked the dogs up, they seemed to really enjoyed their stay. I will rebook next month and Michael is highly recommended.”
About: Your dog will love our FENCED in backyard! I have loved dogs all my life! My Bernese mountain dog is my whole world. We walk multiple times a day and spend as much time as we can outdoors in the warm weather :) I never thought I would have a 100 pound dog but here we are- and I love it! While I am very experienced in caring for and walking large dogs (I can handle very strong pulling lol), I also grew up with a Yorkie so I love caring for lap dogs too! I recently left my decade long career in executive recruiting in order to have more balance and joy. I am loving being home more (okay, a lot more) but I would love to add some more dog love into my life! My schedule is super flexible! My gentle giant Scarlet is glued to my side all day! We walk 3 times a day usually and we love to go to the park! My whole day involves Scarlet in the best way :) I have a fenced in yard with sliding door access so the dogs can go in and out as they please. My 3 year old bernese is more of a lay down kind of gal but she doesnt mind playing a little with other dogs- she just gets tired! I love snuggles and kisses, and I give lots of pets!
“Brineydi took perfect care of our dog! She was very thorough in our initial meet and greet to make sure she knew everything needed to take care of him over the extended weekend. She was very responsive through the stay and sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be asking her to take care of our dog again in the future!”
“Absolutely awesome! Found my permanent "go to" for my pup! Both Matthew and Leanna are wonderful, kind and caring. Their pup Gus was so sweet to my Teddy! Definitely recommend!!! There should be a 10 star option!”
“Gabby was a great dog sitter. Gretchen felt right at home; Gabby sent photos and checked in regularly. I would highly recommend Gabriela and will use her again.”
“I highly recommend Leah and will use her again. I was away for 9 days and Leah sent me pictures every day so I knew Bailey was being well cared for and having fun. She was treated like part of the family and I didn’t worry about her at all. It’s great to have that peace of mind.”
“Brittany was so sweet with my mini dachshund, and he loved playing with her pups. She sent regular photos/videos and was quick to respond. I’m glad to have a reliable dog sitter I’ll be able to use in the future.”
“Jaimi is literally the perfect sitter. Knight has a great time, he was so content! We even did a meet and greet and I just knew that Jaimi’s warm heart and Knights docile demeanor would be a perfect fit. She sent updated pics daily and communication was punctual and everything I could ask for. I will be using her in the future”
“Marilyn took care of Yoshi very well. We were nervous using someone we didn’t know but Marilyn put our nerves at ease for being so sweet and caring. You can tell she is very caring and passionate about pets/animals. She responds quickly and we are so lucky to find a pet-sitter for Yoshi as she is fantastic. We have already booked Yoshi for Thanksgiving for our kids are going to see their grandparents and we feel so lucky Yoshi is being taken care by Marilyn.”
“Jia took excellent care of my dog, Penny. She took Penny to the park often, sent me lot's of pictures and gave me a report on her stay. I highly recommend Jia because she loves taking care of dogs, and again she is excellent at what she does. I know my dog, and I can definitely tell Penny had fun there. Penny will definitely be going back to Jia's in August.”
