“We had a wonderful experience with Namrata! She was always in touch, very responsive, and regularly sent us photos and updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dog had an amazing time in the backyard - she absolutely loves playing outside, especially when there’s lots of snow, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. We truly appreciate the attention and care Namrata gave her and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Anita is fantastic. She's easy to communicate with, warm with my dogs, and understanding of my 13-month-old's more energetic tendencies. I think it's abundantly clear that she loves animals, and I felt very secure in leaving my dogs with her.”
About: I grew up with dogs constantly in my house hold. Got my first puppy when i was 22yrs old and have had a dog ever since. I’m an active person who loves to train and play with animals of all kinds. they really add joy to everything. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of availability to help and want to add a little extra to my day to make it fun I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. Animals are a part of the family and will be treated as such in my care
“Our dogs stayed overnight for 3 nights. They were calm and happy when I picked them up. Our Cavalier usually is quite nervous but she was very comfortable with Bethany. Bethany stays in touch and is very responsive. We will be boarding our dogs with her in the future.”
“They were incredibly professional and super friendly. They sent us pictures and videos of our dog to keep us updated. We could tell how comfortable and loved our dog was. They were great and would highly recommend them.”
“Christine is awesome!!! She sent me updates on and picture of my pooch. My girl seemed to be enjoying herself so much that I wasn't sure she would want to come home. It really gave me peace of mind to know that she was being well cared for. Thank you, Christine.”
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and had the privilege of fostering several dogs while living in Rwanda for 2 years. This past May, we unexpectedly lost our beloved 11-year-old dog. She was so much more than a pet—she was truly a member of our family and had grown up alongside our children, ages 9 and 6. We’re not quite ready to fill the space she left behind, so we thought Rover might be a wonderful way to spend time with dogs again while giving another family peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for and loved. Your dog is allowed on our furniture and has access to a large fenced in yard! Our dog was fear aggressive and we were unable to utilize a boarding facility. We can sympathize that leaving your dog can be difficult. We’ll treat them like one of our own—with lots of affection, patience, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Having fostered dogs with very different personalities and backgrounds, we know that every dog has their own needs, quirks, and way of showing love. We’d love to welcome your dog into our home and give them the same love and care we’ve always given our own. Note: For the comfort and safety of your pup, we only care for dogs from one family at a time. We’re happy to accommodate two dogs from the same family, but we do not mix dogs from different households during the same stay. I work in healthcare on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM–11:00 PM, and Saturdays I work a 12 hour shift and am home all other days. On the days I work, my husband is home by 2:30 PM, and he is home with our children on Saturdays. Our family does have occasional evening or weekend commitments for our children’s sports, but these are typically short outings, and we are rarely away from home for more than about four hours at a time. We’re happy to work with you to make sure your dog’s routine and needs fit comfortably into our schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule the majority of the week, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate a dog who needs more frequent potty breaks or simply prefers not to be alone for long periods (we've been there). We have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run to their heart's content. We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and have the perfect mile walking loop. Your dog is welcome to sleep in our bed, lounge on the couch and take a snooze on our deck.

Alex was so wonderful to work with and Peter truly was not ready to leave when I went to pick him up. She sent tons of updates with photos, was incredibly responsive, and most importantly took great care of our pup. We will absolutely be using her again when we’re in the area!
Doris was just wonderful! My sweet Ellie is a senior and needed meds given at multiple times a day, and also needed gentle loving care. I was so worried to leave her! Doris responded to a call and all texts promptly. Many pictures were sent and I truly was able to not worry as much after I left, as I did before I left. Thank you Doris!!
Cheyenne was really great! She was communicative before and during our dog’s stay, provided lots of updates and asked questions when needed. She has a big yard with lots of room to run around, and took Bear on long daily walks. Our dog was super happy with her! We would definitely use her again.
Sarah was amazing! My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I would typically leave her at home alone. Unfortunately, due to this illness, she now needs care and I was nervous about the idea of leaving her home alone. I have an amazing career and was fearful I would need to make changes professionally as my cats are far more important to me than my role. Fortunately, I found this app and Sarah. Firstly, as soon as I brought my cat to her home I immediately noticed how clean it was and how kind her cat was to mine who was a little nervous. I feel like crouton (my cat) felt like she was at home which was amazing to see. After leaving, Sarah sent me plenty of pictures which eased my nerves and I will definitely be a repeat customer
Matthew took Rex as a last minute boarder after our regular sitter had an emergency. He was really gentle and understanding with our elderly dog who was confused and nervous to be in a new place. We received plenty of updates and photos of Rex going on walks and snuggling. Excellent sitter!!
Molly was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and she took wonderful care of him. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and videos every few hours, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our pup felt comfortable and bonded with her quickly. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Molly again in the future. Highly recommend her!
