“Krystle was warm and welcoming during our Meet & Greet, and she took good care of Oakley during her overnight stay.

She contacted me promptly, and we were able to make alternate arrangements for the rest of Oakley’s care.”

Thank you for all of your hard work. Definitely will recommend Katrina to anyone who wants their fur baby pampered and loved.”

“My 2 year old cavapoo loved her first time at Laura’s! She came home happy & tired after playing with her new dog friends. Laura graciously accommodated a quick meet & greet before our first boarding visit so that my dog could sniff around. She provided daily updates & pictures of my puppers while we were away. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Emily did a great job caring for my pup while I was on spring break vacation. Her communication was timely, friendly, and clear. She provided complete information on what to expect while my pup was in her care- there was no second guessing and everything she said she followed through on. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.”

About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and personalities, and I also regularly help care for my neighbor’s dog when needed. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime! I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. My community also has a beautiful walking trail and a dog park, which makes it easy to get outside for some exercise and fresh air. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will have lots of company, love, and attention while they’re with me.

“Kris took such great care of our little Bella. She was very accommodating, especially with helping to administer medication during Bella’s stay, taking her on many walks and making sure she slept comfortably. Our dog is used to lots of attention, and it was clear that she got it during the stay. Her home is warm and inviting, and we were able to get to know her and her family during a meet and greet, which helped us plan for the stay as well. We knew Bella was being well taken care of, and having a great time, as she sent many updates and pictures throughout the week. It felt like Kris treated her just like one of the family!”

“Shelby and her family were amazing with our puppy. Her daughter and her two dogs were her play companions. This was our first time with rover and leaving our baby with anyone, but we would absolutely recommend Shelby. They were very accommodating with our early and late flights.”

The median cost per night for pet boarding in Rochester is $45

Sarah and her family are absolutely amazing! We feel so lucky to have found such a loving and caring home for our boys while we were away. Our boys had a wonderful time, and Sarah kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. I’ve been using Rover for over 6 years, and I can confidently say that I’ve never had such an incredible experience with any other sitter or family. The love, warmth, and care Sarah and her family showed our boys truly meant so much to us. I cannot recommend them enough! If you’re looking for a home away from home for your fur babies, where they’ll be treated like part of the family, look no further. Thank you, Sarah and family, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!

Tory watched my senior dog over my wedding weekend and I can truly say I did not have to worry about him at all. I felt so at peace dropping him off and receiving updates throughout the weekend of him safe and comfortable. He takes a few medicines and Tory did a great job administering them when needed. Highly recommend Tory, it was my first time using Rover and I am so happy I did!

Andrea took very good care of my dog Sadie. Treated Sadie like she was her own fur baby. Sent photos every day to show how happy Sadie was and how things were going. I would definitely recommend Andrea as a pet sitter for your fur baby. I plan to use her again in the near future.

If we could give Mary 6 stars, we would! Our dog truly looked like she was living her best life at Mary’s house. She sent so many fun pictures and updates throughout the weekend, putting our mind at ease. She even took our girl on multiple walks to get her energy out and she came home soooo happy! So glad we found Mary, she is incredible!

Hongjun was incredibly friendly and made us feel at ease right away. She sent us lots of photos during our dog’s stay, which really reassured us. In the photos, our dog looked so relaxed and comfortable — it was clear that she was cared for like a family member. Our dog is quite picky and preparing her meals can be a bit of a hassle, but Hongjun handled everything so thoughtfully, which we truly appreciated. On top of that, her husband is a great animal photographer and even gifted us a wonderful photo of our dog! We would absolutely love to ask them again in the future. Highly recommended!
