“Lisa took great care of my dog while I was away for about a week! She sent lots of cute and cozy pictures of him hanging out with her animals and was always easy to get in touch with. She also did a good job handling his food aggression and making adjustments to make things work for everyone. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....”
“I am thankful Rhonda was able to watch my Boston Terrier on short notice. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and will definitely have her watch him in the future.”
“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“Andrew and his family treated my Oscar as part of their family. He was in constant communication with me while I was away in Italy for almost 3 weeks. Andrew is very kind and very easy/flexible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a trustworthy person to watch their furbabies! Thank you Andrew!”
“Jacquelin and her husband have been a wonderful find and we could not be more grateful for her and her husband’s incredible care for our guy, Teddy. We were gone for 10 days for our spring break and were a little nervous being gone that long. Teddy comes from a one dog household and normally stays at home with a family member or friend; however this trip was too long for an arrangement like that and could not have been more pleased with the care, concern, consistent communication and love given to our sweet guy! We would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks so much 💛”
“My two huskies had such a good time! Kim and her husband took such great care of them! They sent us videos and pictures which definitely helped knowing they were in good hands :) 100/10 recommend”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
“Yolanda and her family did a wonderful job with Gizmo. It was our first time leaving him for a week and with someone through Rover. Yolanda's patience, kindness, and experience brought me relief knowing that my dog was in great hands. She did everything possible to calm my anxiety-ridden fur baby and made him comfortable; kept me updated and was responsive; sent me photos; and was very easy/flexible to work with. By the end of the week, Gizmo was playing with other dogs and taking long walks twice a day, which he never does! He's been home for almost 24 hours and I can tell he misses Yolanda, but mostly, he's been sleeping like a baby. LOL. I couldn't thank Yolanda and her family enough. I finally found someone who was willing to take in my dog and refused to give up on him even when times were hard. I highly recommend her services! I've found my FOREVER dog sitter :) Thank you again Yolanda!!”
“Elizabeth provided 4 days of boarding for our dog. We were able to book her with short notice. Although my dog was nervous around children, she was able to help my dog get used to them. She is responsive and very accommodating. Our return flight was late and she was able to adjust our pickup time without any issues. Would highly recommend for boarding your dog.”
“Ann and Arman were awesome hosts for Finn while I was traveling for work. They treated him like family, and he clearly settled in quickly (note that they did a great job of providing pictures and updates). He enjoyed his walks with them, loved playing with their children, and was treated with love! Ann and Arman were a joy to work with, and Finn looks forward to returning soon.”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“She provided pictures throughout the day and made sure Apollo felt right at home. I’m very particular about who I trust to care for him, but she made me feel completely comfortable. It meant so much knowing he was safe, loved, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the updates and the attention she gave him. I would definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Gabriel did such a nice job keeping my 12 week old puppy overnight. His dog Mel and my puppy got along great. I will definitely book Gabriel again. Thank you Gabriel and Mel!”
About: I’m a dog/cat mom who is a little obsessed with animals and can’t wait to meet yours! Open for boarding in my home, walks, check ins, feeding, etc. I currently have a standard poodle and a mini poodle who are the center of my life (let’s face it, the run my life!). They love guests and would be thrilled to meet your dog and cat while you’re away. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats, able to give medications, provide senior care, and daily walks, play time. I’d love to help give your pet their very best life! I work a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate your needs. I’m available weekends and most holidays as well. I’ll do my best to work together to find the best schedule for your pet. My dogs have a lovely home and they kindly let me live there too. 😆. The dogs are allowed free run of the house at all times, though I do have crates for when they want some unbothered time, at their choice. I live in a great neighborhood filled with dogs so we meet a lot of friends on our walks, too.
Riverwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Angela was extremely generous and did a very nice informal meet up so that my (small) dog could meet her sweet (large) dog just to make sure the two would get along. We met at a nearby park and the meet up was fun and successful. I then left my dog with Angela and her husband for one night, again to do a short trial stay before attempting a longer one. Angela and her husband could not have been more gracious and kind. My dog is quirky and anxious but he got along very well with the entire household. I would recommend Angela to anyone looking for a kind and patient caregiver. The night at Angela's went very well but, sadly, my dog has a strange habit of being skittish about some types of flooring...wood floors or floors that look like wood being one of his goofy fears. Angela's beautiful home has lovely wood floors that my dog just refused to walk on and so he will likely need to keep looking for a boarding home that has carpeting. Sigh. While I may not be able to use Angela in the future, she is terrific and I envy people who have dogs that will walk on all kinds of flooring!
I found Mikalanne a month ago and kept them in mind for future petsitter needs and I’m glad I did. Reptar has severe separation anxiety and when it was time to say goodbye, Mikalanne distracted him by taking a quick jog up the street - making an otherwise stressful moment for Reptar a fun moment of play. From the daily updates, I knew how Reptar was doing and it gave me peace of mind during our time a part. I will definitely be booking services with Mikalanne in the future, clearly Reptar likes them!
Agustin was amazing! He was able to take Ryder last minute, and helped coordinate with my mom when I was across the country and plans changed. He was very responsive and quick to messages. He was very flexible and allowed me to pick up my dog late in the evening. Ryder was happy and tired when he came home. Agustin was able to accommodate mh is needs dog, staying with him the entirety of his stay as he has separation anxiety. He was able to give him multiple walks, and lots of time with his pup Ziggy. Ziggy and Ryder seemed to bond and enjoy playing and elf ing time together. Ryder can be a barky boy, but he was accepting of him and still let him people watch through his beautiful, giant window. I would definitely rebook with Agustin if needed in the future.
Megan has been incredible! She treats our dog cooper like her own. They have gone to dog parks, boat rides, beer gardens, runs, and more! Her golden doodle, Sunny, is best friends with Cooper and they play so well with each other! She always sends pictures and updates which we love. We have also used Megan for walks and she is punctual and always takes pictures!
Julia and Colin were SO great!! They communicated extremely well both before and during the boarding. They provided updates including photos throughout the visit, which helped me feel at ease knowing my dog was having a great time! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and will absolutely consider them again next time I need care!
Lisa was amazing with our dog Winston. She made it easy for us to leave and feel at ease on our vacation. She is extremely kind and it was obvious to us she worked very hard to make sure Winston was happy and comfortable in her home. Communication was great and we appreciated the updates and the photos. We already have another stay with Lisa on the books.
