“Sylvie is even more amazing than everyone says in their reviews! Tons of updates and she handled my 5 month old puppy so well. She stayed on top of keeping her in line and showed such loving care. Will definitely be back, it was fabulous to be away on vacation and not feel worried about Chloe's care while we were out of town. Thank you Sylvie!!”
“Ana was great with our dog. She was taking good care of her. Always sending us pictures and videos. We were at peace when we knew our dog is in safe hands. Will book her again for sure.”
“What a great stay! Tami had great communication before and during the stay. She also sent lots of pictures of Faye playing with her two fun labs, Dolly and Bear . She has a great fenced in area for lots of play time and Faye felt right at home. They had a weekend of fun and Faye was worn out! Tami was flexible and willing to give Faye medicine as we had a last minute vet trip right before our trip. Will definitely be back!”
“I was very happy with Sydney and her family for how well they took care of our furbabies. Sydney sent pictures and videos of the pups which was awesome. And she kept us updated on their feeding and Sarges medicine. I would recommend Sydney for anyone that wants someone to watch their pups and will be taking great care of. Thank you again”
“Stella had a great time at Moniques's! She kept me updated throughout stellas stay and sent us the best pictures. I will def be booking with her again!”
“Taylor and Marco were able to take Louie at the last minute, and my little guy was so thrilled to see them! Like always, they sent me photos and updates of all the fun and cuddles he was enjoying. And when one of his things got chewed up by another guest, they made sure he had a replacement by the time I picked him up. Knowing he’s with them gives me such peace of mind. Taylor and Marco are the best!”
About: My love for animals goes along way. My family has always brought rescues to me since I was a teenager. I'd care for them, bathe, love , train them, and if I could, I'd give them sanctuary. Due to ongoing home improvement projects, my weekly schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to easily accommodate to pet care needs of mine and others. I have a pet room in the works. Where i have dog food and clothing located. Along with treats and any medical pet needs. I have a fenced in back yard that gives my two pets freedom to roam.
“They treated our fur baby like one of their own. Very responsive and provided updates on his day. I found them as our normal sitter was unavailable, but they will definitely see Leo again!”
“Debbie and Reggie took very good care of Daisy and Patch. They communicated well with us and sent daily photos. They clearly kept our pups active and attended to. Feed well even our dogs can be finicky eaters. Would definitely use them again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my three babies. Enas and her girls were nothing short of fantastic with my babies and they just adored them!! She provided daily pictures and comments. We will definitely be using your service in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Rhett had a blast and was cared for like family! Couldn't ask for a better doggie care provider. Only disappointment is that Rover puts a limit on tips.”
“After our first experience with Tammy, we will definitely book with her again. She is a 'dog person' and loves them all. I appreciate her level of knowledge concerning dog care and feel confident about leaving my little one with her. Thank you”
“Patricia is heaven sent! She is so attentive to my energetic labradoodle and tends to his needs perfectly. He is also so happy to see her! I also appreciate her flexibility with my schedule and quick communication. 10/10 highly recommend.”

“I just wanted to say how pleased I am with Estefania's service! She's kind and made our pups feel very welcome. She sent daily pictures of them and was wonderful about communicating! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Kasha was wonderful. She listened to my concerns with my “special needs” dog. Being an overly protective owner to my blind and diabetic boy, it reassured me that Kasha was the right one to take care of my pups. Both of my dogs were well cared for and loved. It was wonderful getting the updates and photos.”

Rockdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Iris was great with our girl for a long weekend stay. She provided great care and kept is up to date with puctures. Would use Iris again for sure.
The best !! Excellent communication, I was sent pictures daily. My dog looked happy and content. She seemed so anxious when I dropped her off and I had never had to board her before, I am so grateful to Sarah and her family for treating my dog like family. If I ever need to board her again, Sarah will be my first choice. I’m so happy and Lucy is so happy.
Monique was awesome and provided pictures and videos of my dogs experience. Made me feel very comfortable on how well my dog was doing. Thanks so much!
We came from out of town for a wedding and our puppy Bailey wasn't doing so well in the hotel on her own so we were in desperate need for someone to watch her, Denise was super quick and was able to take her on a real short notice and kept us updated all day/night with so many photos. Bailey was well taken care of and came to us tired from running around with Azure. Couldn't thank her enough.
