“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”

“A major part of any trip is feeling at peace knowing your pet is well taken care of. I knew my Penny was in good care with Gillian. I so appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was away. Thank you so much! 🤍”

“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”

“We took our young puppy to Yvette before we went on vacation and Shelby had an awesome time! Yvette even made room for us with very short notice and we were first time customers at that point. Shelby got along great with Eli and you can certainly tell that Yvette loves her job. She kept us up to date with pictures and videos the entire time we were gone which was very reassuring as new puppy parents. Shelby can't wait to come back!! Thanks Yvette & Eli!”


“Abby did a great job taking care of my german shepherd/mastiff. He felt comfortable, enjoyed exploring their house and backyard! He got to go on walks and get attention while we were out of town for the weekend.”

“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”

“Could not be any happier! We received multiple pictures per day and our dogs seemed to be so happy! Mariana and her husband were wonderful! Dogs got to sleep in the bed with them, roam their backyard, and even got to go on walks! We will definitely use Mariana again! She was AWESOME!!!”
“Gabrielle is a real dog lover! We felt she genuinely enjoyed having our dog stay with her. She did an excellent job sending photos, keeping us updated, and responding to us. We loved that she has a fenced in backyard and also has a sweet dog herself - the 2 dogs got along beautifully! We're so glad we found Gabrielle!”

“I couldn’t ask for anyone better. I honestly feel at ease when I leave my fur baby here. The updates really feel great along with the pictures. Good details and consistency.”

“I appreciated the great care and daily updates for our cat Doja. I also appreciated that Audrey was so responsive. Communication was great. Already planning to book another stay!”


About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”

“Alison and Parmer cared for Max like he was their own! Communication was outstanding, Alison sent pictures and updates per my request. I knew Max was getting the attention and love he would have at home which allowed us to travel without worry. We’re grateful he was in such good care!”

“Eriann was fantastic! We were very happy with how it went and plan to use her care again in the future. Our dogs got along great and played hard. She was so kind and flexible to keep Nico happy and comfortable on one of his first stays away from home since we adopted him from the shelter.”

“Our dog Tucker has stayed with Erica and her husband twice and he’s had the best time! They take such good care of your pup, get to play in a fenced in backyard with their pup Maverick, and you get updates with photos/videos so you know everything is good while you are away. So happy we found Erica, she is so nice and makes going away without Tucker so much easier because we know he’s living his best life!”

“Kayla took excellent care of Jamoon, making sure he was comfortable, well fed, and got plenty of attention. Jamoon enjoyed his stay at Kayla’s. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos which gave us peace of mind while we were away.We highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and currently own a dog myself, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as a member of the family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. I’ve personally trained puppies and enjoy helping reinforce good habits, routines, and basic manners through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and walks with a focus on safety, reliability, and communication. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for and having a great time. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for each week. My schedule allows me to be available most weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. This gives me the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and boarding while providing reliable, attentive care. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. As a pet owner myself, I know that every dog has unique needs and routines. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. For boarding, pets become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care requests. During walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level and personality. I also provide regular photo and message updates because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, she provided exceptional care for our pupppy. She kept us updated with a ton of pictures and videos and was always quick to respond to any questions we had, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Her home is clean and welcoming, and it’s clear that she takes great pride in providing a safe and loving environment for the pets she cares for. Her professionalism and dedication truly stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”

Royal Oak pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nathan was absolutely fantastic with our three kitties for their short stay at his house. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and has extensive experience caring for cats. Our cats had a dedicated room at his house with enough space to sleep, play, eat, drink, and a window to look outside. This was our first time having our cats boarded at someone’s house and I was a little nervous beforehand, but instantly felt at ease once meeting Nathan and seeing where the cats would be staying. He also provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Overall, very happy with the care and attention our cats received. I would 100% board my cats with Nathan again and recommend him to friends and family!

Kara was an amazing dog sitter for Molly! She was very kind, attentive, and kept us updated with daily pictures while we were away. Molly got plenty of walks, car rides, and attention, and she looked like she was having a great time. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Kara again and highly recommend her!

Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!

We are new to the area and finding a good dog sitter is always a bit stressful. Kadi put me and my dog, Phoebe, at ease almost immediately upon meeting her. She is friendly, welcoming, and truly cares! Kadi asked important questions about my dog to ensure the boarding was tailored to Phoebe's needs. Throughout her stay, we received updates and pictures that gave us peace of mind that Phoebe was not an after thought, but part of the family!

Phoebe had the best weekend with Eriann! It’s never easy leaving your dog with someone new, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and treated Phoebe like one of her own. She kept me updated, was so thoughtful and caring, and Phoebe clearly had the best time hanging with her sweet dog George too. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and pays attention to the little things. So grateful we found her!

Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!
