“Brian took such good care of my dog while I was away. He made Leo feel right at home. He provided updates and photos each day and answered any questions I had. I definitely recommend Brian if you ever need someone to take care of your fur baby! Thank you so much, Brian!”
“My dog Butters always had a good time here. I've been a bad rover and haven't rated them all but five Stars across the board. Butters has stayed here quite a few times too. Always is a happy dog when I get him. ”
“Elaina and her family took excellent care of our Bella! I received multiple updates and photos over the time Bella was being cared for. I would recommend Elaina and her family 💯”
“Sandra was very sweet upon meeting. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet Paris with her and I'm glad I did. She sent pictures daily and also sent video. Melted my heart when I saw a photo of Paris hanging out with Sandra on the sofa. This put my mind at ease as this was my dog's first time away from me. Paris came back home happy and healthy! I will be sending Paris over with Sandra again in the future.”
“Another great stay for our dog. Anthony is very communicative and easy to work with. He creates a welcoming space for our dog who loves the huge backyard! Will definitely use Anthony again!”
“Maria had our 2 dogs for 11 days and she did a phenomenal job. I got daily pictures and videos. She even sent them home with little treats that she made homemade. She treated our dogs like family while we were out of the country. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate her for not having us worried during our vacation. We knew that they were safe and well taken care of, thanks again, Maria!”
“I really appreciated Samantha caring for my dog on a last minute weekend trips. She sent me pictures throughout the day. Lucy looked happy in each picture she sent me. My fur baby made new friends with Sam’s fur babies and I know Lucy really enjoyed their company. Sam took Lucy out on walks her human children played with Lucy, which is great because Lucy sometimes has a lot of energy. Lucy’s back home hating life being the only fur baby at home but resting after her long fun filled weekend. I would definitely recommend Samatha.”
About: For 6 years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic tiny pups to sweet older dogs! I love making tails wag, no matter the size or age. As a college student, I’m only available on Fridays and Sundays, but those days are all about your pets! I love giving them attention, walks, and care. Your dog will feel right at home! I have a secure fenced yard and a sweet Labrador who loves making new friends and sharing playtime.
“Claudia sent me photos of Koa. I’m sure Koa enjoyed his stay with Claudia because he was calm and relaxed when I picked him up. I’m confident that I can leave my senior dog with Claudia again in the future.”
“Josie took great care of our beagle, Cooper! She was very friendly, conscientious, and responsive. She sent us daily updates including sweet photos of him cuddling with her family and kitties. I would not hesitate to have Cooper stay with her again!”
“Very loving toward our dog Xena. Kids enjoyed running around with and petting Xena, because she wasn’t into toys. Our dog had to go to the bathroom in middle of night, Nazly heard her whine and let her outside.”
“Linda is WONDERFUL! We booked a last minute trip and she was very accommodating! She sent us several pictures and kept us updated! Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Shireen and her husband were so kind and welcoming. They made sure they knew everything about our pups so that they could provide the best possible care. She sent regular updates with cute pictures. We felt very comfortable knowing our pups were in a safe and loving environment. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“I highly recommend Carrie as a pet sitter! Carrie & her family provided a comfortable and loving environment for our Labrador, Lalah (lay-la) during our 10-day family vacation. We rarely leave our beloved dog with a pet sitter & we work remotely, so she is not used to being away from us for more than a few hours. However, Carrie provided Lalah with plenty of love, attention, & exercise & sent lots of pictures & updates throughout Lalah's stay. Knowing that our sweet girl was well cared for was very helpful & allowed us to enjoy our first family vacation since prior to the pandemic. :)”
“Jennifer was so welcoming and made us feel super comfortable leaving our 5 month old puppy for the first time. All the pictures and updates we amazing to get while on vacation. We can tell our puppy had such a good time playing with her dogs. Jennifer shows genuine care for animals and would definitely recommend her to family and friends.”

Russell dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sandra was great! She was super understanding and flexible when I had to adjust pickup and drop-off times, which made things so much easier. She kept me updated regularly and sent cute pictures, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. My dogs were clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d book with her again!
Claire was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Bambi and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Bambi was happy and well-loved while I was away. I’m so grateful for the care and attention and will definitely book again. Highly recommend!
Jazmyne was great! She was great to communicate with, and she took wonderful care of our Oreo for the day in her home! We were in from out of town to go to Six Flags for the day and our little guy gets anxious and can’t be alone in the hotel room the whole time. I was so happy I found her and she was so loving and sweet with him. I highly recommend her!👍👍
John and his family were very open and welcoming and we immediately felt very comfortable with him. This was our first time choosing him as a sitter for the day and very happy to report that it went very well with our dog sitting and watching TV with the family by the end of the shift.
