“The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!”
“Mary and her husband are like an aunt and uncle to my Ivy. She loves going to their house and playing with their sweet dog :) I get lots of pictures during Ivy's stay with Mary and she always looks so relaxed and happy!”
“Traci provided a wonderful experience for my pup! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”
“Ms Theresa provided excellent care for my dog Toby and I felt completely comfortable leaving (Toby) in her hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone lolking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”
“Tanya and her children were so loving and kind when it came to caring for my very active puppy Draco. I loved the daily updates and was even gifted an adorable Christmas ornament of my baby 💙. My puppy slept the entire day after pick so I know he enjoyed himself 🤣 Draco loved staying with you guys and I will definitely book in the near future.”

“Mary did such a great job taking care of my dog! She kept me updated and was reliable. She would send me picture/video updates daily and I could tell my dog loved being with her. I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
“Ashley is super friendly and fantastic pet sitter. My dogs were happy and comfortable at Ashley's home. Bonus: My dogs loved hanging out with her sweet dogs. I absolutely recommend her and her home!!! I've already scheduled another visit. Highly recommend!!!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She updated daily and made sure our babies were so well taken care of. She went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we chose to book with her. I will absolutely be booking her for any future needs for our pups.”
“Sara was great with our dog. From the initial "meet & greet" to the actual stay, she made us and our dog feel comfortable. She was quick to respond to questions, and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would highly recommend using her again.”
“Samantha was the best sitter I could ask for with my fur baby Blue . This was my first time leaving him away from home and I felt comfortable that he was in great hands . She is very patient and took care of my Blue as if he was her own. She gave my pup plenty of playtime and sent me so many adorable pictures of him. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Maiah was awesome. She was super responsive and sent us pictures of our dogs while they stayed with her. She took them for walks even though has a big fenced in yard for them to play. I definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
About: Hi! My family has had dogs my whole life and I currently have a dog myself, she is 4 years old. While i’m newer to pet sitting, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I already take daily walks as part of my routine, so caring for pets fits in very naturally. I enjoy having a dog join me—it makes the time more enjoyable while ensuring they get consistent, relaxed exercise. For dog walks, I make sure they get safe, relaxed exercise during my daily walking time. I pay attention to their pace, energy level, and comfort, and I always keep them on a secure leash. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely spend time outside for potty breaks and fresh air. I make sure they are always supervised and safe while outdoors.
“We were bummed when our usual Rover sitters and dog-sitting friends weren’t available to watch our dog during a recent weekend trip—but now we’re delighted that it means we and our dog got to meet Roni! Roni was great about sending updates, professional, and clearly knowledgeable about animals. Our dog obviously had a great time with her, and came home happy and tired (in the best way) from playing! Would definitely recommend for all your pet-care needs, and we’re so glad to have another great sitter to reach out to.”
“We were nervous to tryout Rover but couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our fur baby. Ali treated our dog as if he was her own and also made sure we got several updates throughout his stay with her. We highly recommend Ali and will be a returning customer for sure!”

Rockton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily and Thomas provided an easy going and welcoming home to my 10 yr old chihuahua mix, Buddy. I seldom need to board Buddy and he is seldom away from me. I could tell that he immediately felt comfortable and safe with them and their small dog. Emily sent daily photos with updates on how Buddy was doing, especially his eating patterns. Buddy can show signs of anxiety by reluctance to eat. But he immediately felt safe to eat his food from the first day in their home. That was very reassuring to me and spoke volumes about his trust of Emily and Thomas and their home.
She did great and I love that she put in the effort to meet Bear before she actually committed to taking her overnight. I would’ve loved more updates and pictures during her stay though. Other than that she was great and she took Bear a little longer than expected with no problems.
