“Ben and Cassie are extremely kind. They were accommodating to us forgetting our dog food, updated us during Ivy’s stay and were very professional. We will be using them again in the future, overall a great experience.”

“Olga took such great care of our puppy. I was nervous to leave her because she was still so young but Olga was willing to care for her and even worked with her on some basic training skills as well. She was very responsive to communication and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She is very knowledgeable of dogs and provides a safe and caring place for them. We’d definitely leave our puppy with her again. I highly recommend her.”

“Billie was great with Pippa while I was gone. She kept me informed and sent pictures of Pippa walking and playing. We had a great meet and greet with her a couple of days before I dropped Pippa off to stay. Billie was very open with how Pippa would be taken care of, and asked great questions to get to know Pippa and what she was used to. I will use her again.”

“Derrika was great. She took great care of our Charlie, was great with drop off and pickups, and excellent with providing updates and communication. What a blessing it is to have a safe loving home for our little guy when we’re away. Gives us great peace of mind that he’s well taken care of and loved.”

“This is our dogs second time staying with them and he’s always been so happy when he comes home and you can tell he was well cared for and loved and played a lot!”

“Elaine gave great care and communication during our week long trip. Our dog is small and we really liked that she had no children or other pets in her house. Will def. use again!!!”

“Griffin sent so many pictures and videos, it helped us be able to relax on vacation knowing our lil guy was in good hands. Communication was excellent and his little puppy was super friendly. Would definitely recommend!”

“Kristy and her family were awesome! My two pups were very well socialized with all of her pets, even my anxious girl became comfortable and seemed to enjoy her stay. Kristy gave them both special attention, even making them scrambled eggs one morning, and letting them cozy up on her bed. You can tell she is a true dog lover and understands what they need. She gave me lots of updates and photos to put my mind at ease!”

“Brandon and Nicole were awesome hosts for my Bud Man. He enjoyed the whole week with them. Looking forward to having them watch him again this summer. Thanks!!”

“Ryan was great with our cat, sent images throughout the whole stay and made sure to inform us if there was any shift in the cats behavior. Our cat even got to be around other dogs which was awesome! Will board with him again”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog, Jordan, received. Bridget was outstanding—her communication was prompt and clear, and her home was clean. It was evident that she takes great pride in providing a safe, clean, and loving environment. It was nice she had her own dog kennels too so I didn’t have to bring mine. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“I was nervous leaving Tommy at first with someone I had not met but Tommy was in excellent hands. Brandi sent me some pictures which my kids loved seeing.”

“Abigail was so wonderful to us and our pups. She kept us updated and sent a lot of pictures. She has a wonderful playful poodle that got along with our dogs great and they came home nice and tired! Highly recommend!”

About: I am a former Top Secret security clearance holder so you can rest assured I have passed very rigorous government background checks ✅and your pets and property are in good, HONEST hands. I have never NOT ⛔️ owned a dog. I was raised with a dog guarding my bassinet and not much has changed. I actually went to community college before university to keep my dogs full time 😃. At one time my family had 5 dogs, so I am accustomed to the circus 🎪 life. I have adopted 15 rescue dogs in my life time (4 as an adult) and they range from shy and fearful to reactive and everything in between. I have raised 3 puppies: 1 heeler x boxer and 2 black mouth curs. I have owned Belgian Malnois, Border Collies, Retrievers, Heelers, and everything in between. I can take care of elderly dogs or dogs with health issues. While not a professional trainer I have trained several dogs in my life and even broken several “runners.” I know how to read dog behavior to create a safe environment for your pups since I have been caring for dogs for 37 years. I will be available 7 days a week unless I am taking vacation which will be rare and blocked off on my calendar and there will be advanced notice. I live in a 4 bedroom house that has multiple baby gates/zones to separate my “clients” as needed. All dogs will be fed in separate rooms and I will not force any dogs to meet if they don’t want to meet other dogs. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are allowed on living room furniture and 1 of my beds and I have plenty of orthopedic dog beds. The fence has 2 gates which are locked. I have 3 wire crates of every size (only if needed/wanted) as I know some dogs like their own “room” to decompress. Each crate is in a separate bedroom for some doggy solitude time or for over-stimulated pups to get a break. I will never lock your dog in a crate. They are just there for a quiet sleeping place. I have a baby gate that separates the upstairs from my finished basement if your dog needs a separate living space from my 3 dogs. I can do sitting in my home or drop-in visits in yours. NOTE ABOUT BOARDING OR DAYCARE IN MY HOME: Make sure your dog is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick medication, 🚫 No dogs that do not respect playtime boundaries set by other dogs, 🚫 No boarding dog-reactive dogs in my home or dogs that have never been socialized with other dogs outside their pack. 🚫 No dogs that climb baby gates or fences. I will be happy to perform drop in visits in your home for dogs that don’t meet my boarding criteria. Thankyou for understanding.
“It gives me so much peace of mind for my 2 girls to stay with Carly and her family while I'm gone. She sends pics and updates and I think the dogs look forward to their own vacation at her house!”

“Highly recommend. Was great with my dog and very easy to plan drop off/pick up. My dog loved it and good communication while he was staying there (pictures, updates, etc.).”

“Brittney and Max were great! They loved having our dog (Leo) and were great about sending updates and pictures while we were away! We were very happy with them, recommend them to anyone and if we need a sitter again we’ll be going back to them!”
Ruskin Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carroll was absolutely amazing! My dogs stayed at her house, and I could instantly tell how much she loves and cares for animals. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and my dogs looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. Her home is super clean, safe, and welcoming, and she treated my pups like her own. When I picked them up, they were calm, loved, and clearly well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — she’s truly the best! 🐾❤️

Chelsea was absolutely fabulous! My dog was a little nervous to stay at a new house and Chelsea went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. She gave lots of updates and communication was so wonderful. Ruby & Harvey are besties now and will definitely be back!
