“Achara was amazing! She saved us when we needed a last minute sitter. She was super communicative and sent updates throughout the day. 10/10 recommend”
“Danielle and her husband Gabe were great! We messaged Danielle the day before and she was so accommodating to my last minute and super early booking. They sent pictures and videos of our dogs Ace and Caesar. They were responsive to any updates we asked for. Ace and Caesar definitely had a great time with Danielle and Gabe in their home and we highly recommend for any sitting or boarding services 😊”
“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”
“Buddy loves Debra and her dog, Buddy! She is so good with him and we truly trust her 100% with him! This was his 2nd time with her and we will definitely rebook!”
“We are first time dog parents and our pup has had some recent behavioral issues with other dogs that we were concerned might pop up when we were away. We talked to Alexandra about it and were super confident that if anything should arise she would have it well under control and she assured us that her dog is calm and well trained. Thankfully our dog loved his time and was well behaved, she kept him comfortable and entertained. But it was such a relief to know if worse came to worse, she could handle it. She gave us daily updates and photos and was responsive if we had any questions. We will absolutely book again!”
“Tango, my Special Needs German Shepherd, is unique. What I valued most about Persia's care was her knowing that Tango could not do what most dogs might. As a Tripawed, I know her limits, but Persia cautiously discovered and tested them. No dog parks, no exhaustive runs, etc. Persia immediately adjusted to Tango needs which thwarted her care for her own dog. That alone speaks volumes for the attention she gave to my quite spoiled rescue. Persia's family loved on Tango. I am grateful. Although she can't go back, I felt secure as I saw pictures of my pupper while I visited with family after months of Covid cloister. Thank you Persia!”
“Bari is amazing! Our dog Frank has been going to Bari since he was a puppy and he always has so much fun. Her communication is great and she takes amazing care of him every time. Thanks so much Bari!!”
“I would definitely recommend Brandee 100% she was so sweet, she is my first pet sitter and will continue to take my pup with her. I left my pup Benny for a couple of days and he seemed really happy to be there in all the fotos he was smiling and playful with her pups and daughter as well !! He didn’t want to leave which is the sign I was definitely look for. She gave my pup the proper attention and was treated equally. As for the communication that was definitely the best part, I didn’t have to ask how he was doing because she gave me updates throughout each day provided me with plenty of fotos and videos. With that being said me and Benny will continue to look forward to seeing Brandee again😊🐾.”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs on and off for decades (on a farm). As a kid and growing up, we had German Shepards, mutts, Lab-Terrior mixes, and a Saint Bernard. I currently have a four year-old Chihuahua that is an amazing dog and a very important part of our family. Because I love dogs, and the need in Midtown for pet sitters, I decided to join Rover. I have used the service several times myself over the years and found it to be reliable and good for my dog. I wanted to offer the same relatable trustworthy service to other families in need of someone to watch their smallest family members. I hope to take the stress out of leaving your dog with someone while you are on vacation or traveling for work.I truly understand the uncertainty and hope for your pet to have a good experience. Pet care is part of our life. I am generally home with the exception of running some errands or to get groceries but typically not for very long. I make time for walks with the dog and potty breaks every couple of hours or when our dog lets us know. Pet boarding fits seamlessly with my lifestyle. I live in Midtown and have grass around the house, but it’s not fenced in. Whenever we go out, the dog is on a harness for walks or potty breaks. The backyard is asphalt, and the dog will go out there sometimes but generally, a walk around the block is more fun for her. Walks to the state capitol are common and provide great exercise.
“Jennifer was awesome as always! I trust my pet baby with her. This is his 3rd visit with her. This was his second overnight stay, this stay was for two days. My boy is blind, takes insulin shots twice a day, a very old senior. I always worry about him when I’m away, but with Jennifer I can relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you Jennifer. 🥰”
“Michael was quick with his communications during the pre-booking process and sent us many pictures of Murphy during the stay. Would recommend!”
“Davis was great with Lulu! He was super attentive to her needs and sent lots of updates on her stay. I especially appreciated that he gave real updates & photos. Lulu got plenty of walks and exercise. I will definitely rebook!”
“Monica was so great with Otis. She is so welcoming, warm, and dedicated to ensuring he had a great experience. She was so mindful of his dietary and medical needs and provided frequent updates to ensure we knew Otis was having such a great time. Lastly, Monica was flexible when a last minute snafu with scheduling and ensured we were able to get care when we needed. Thank you Monica! Excited to have Otis stay with you again”
“Geisel sent multiple pictures and videos each day. She seemed to have a true affection for my dog Ollie and I was very comfortable that Ollie was well cared for”
“I really appreciated Jared. He sent tons of pics of my furry little family member. Love it. Kylie. I know enjoyed her stay with Jared. I so look forward to utilizing Jared again”
“Sabrina was amazing & treated our dog like her own. She was very communicative and flexible as well. She went as far as giving our dog an epsom salt paw soak (omg so sweet that she took the time). We will be booking her again over and over again.”
“This was my first time using Kazue and I couldn’t be happier .. she took such great care of my Mitzi! Kazue kept me updated with messages and pictures so I could see how my girl was doing. Will definitely use Kazue again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind and attentive pet sitter!”
“Jose is a life saver! We were looking for a last minute sitter for our rescue Yorkie Champ. Jose responded quickly and was very gentle and patient with our little guy. Will definitely reach out if we need another sitter in Sacramento!”
“Thank you Demi! She was so flexible when our recent travel plans got complicated. We are so grateful! Demi kept me updated on Khrush’s stay. I’m so grateful to have found a Rover that is so communicative and attentive to our sweet boy. ❤️”
“This was our first time using Rover. We were lucky enough to find Michelle and Jim! We love our Husky and Golden like they are our kids; we were timid to trust anyone else with them but knew coming to a new city we would sooner or later need to find someone trustworthy. Michelle and Jim took care of our pups like if they were their own dogs. We received many photos and videos of their adventures throughout our time away; we appreciate the effort to let us know that they were doing just fine. Oddly enough it seems like the dogs loved it at their house more than we anticipated which only speaks to the love and care they provided to my two pups. Overall rating 11/10 for going above and beyond.”
