âI wish i could give her 10 stars! She is so good with my Charlie. Sends me updates and pictures throughout each day and helps calm my anxiety. When Charlie sees her she goes wild. I know that my little doggie loves her and she is safe when she is with her. She is the absolute best!â

âThis was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter and it could not have gone better. Jane was excellent and sent me daily updates and photos. I had always used the bougie dog boarding places previously and my puppers would always come home stressed. This time, with Jane, it was completely different. They were stress free and relaxed. I would absolutely request dog sitting from Jane again. Thanks so much!!â

About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what youâre after or stay in and play âhide the treats in blankets.â Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods
âConnor and Penny enjoyed their stay with Laura and boo. We are grateful to have found Laura to care for our fur babies and feel very comfortable I'm leaving them with her. Thank you for taking care of my babies.â

âThis was our first time doing an overnight Rover and Sandra was great. She sent tons of updates and pics. Our girl can be really shy but took to Sandra and her dogs right away. Sandra has a great energy about her. If weâre ever traveling her way again weâd 100% trust her to watch our girl again and we know Tefiti would be happy to se ever againnâ

âKim was wonderful with my 2 fur babies. They can be a little complicated because they both take different medications and different food. Kim sent pictures every day. They had a great time during their stay and enjoyed making new fur friends as well!â

âSummer took great care of Lemmy! We got regular photos, she did a great job with his meds, and she was very patient with us in our first time using Rover. Summer, her family, and her own pets were great to our temperamental little chihuahua. Canât thank her enough!â

âJosie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!â

âThis was my first time using Rover and I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again. I was a bit nervous leaving my dog with a stranger through an app I've never used before but Hailey was an exceptional sitter! She was very responsive to all my questions and regularly sent me pictures of how Ollie was doing. I would 100% recommend Hailey for anyone interested in using this service. She exceeded my expectations and I will use her again in the future!â

Christina is THE BEST!! Charlie loves her so much and I donât have to worry when Iâm out of town and Charlie is with her. She sends me pics and updates often. It really makes my heart happy that Charlie can stay with someone whoâs so thoughtful and caring when we have to be away from her. â¤ď¸
