“Keoma stayed at our place to take car of our pets while we were away. Our pets are older so we were happy to find someone who could handle giving meds, eye drops etc. to them. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and even brought up our packages. We'll definitely book again in the future.”
“Mandel was great with our dog, incredibly respectful of our home, and very communicative! Will definitely look forward to him caring for our dog again!”
“I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My event was delayed and she ended up staying with my boy for an extra hour. She also took him on a long walk and sent lots of pictures. I didn’t worry at all about him and was able to enjoy my night. I’ll definitely be booking her to watch my baby in the future!”
“Camille was so great!! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of pictures while I was gone. She understood Ronnie’s behavior needs and took great care of her. Overall it was a great experience:)”
“This was the second time Amanda watched and cared for my dog Mars, and it went just as well as the first time. Mars has a lot of anxiety and she knows just what to do to make him feel at ease while respecting his boundaries. And most importantly when we arrived at home he was calm, like we never left, which shows just how good of a job she did. Will be booking with her again when needed.”
“Cynthia watched my pup overnight and took such good care of him. I felt at ease knowing he was not alone and with someone who genuinely likes dogs (even old cranky ones like mine). Thank you so much Cynthia!!”
About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.
“I wish i could give more stars than just 5. My babies are not easy especially when i am absent. But Imani who has been home sitting them for almost 2 years has made such a close bond with them.She loves them and cares for them like their own mama. Hence i can be at peace and enjoy my vacation.Thank you as always”
“Second time using Marlene and she was just as stellar as before! So happy to have her to take care of my boys! She sent update photos when she was with them and provided stellar care”
About: Im currently a college student and I love animals. I'm a dog lover, I am very patient and can tolerate and love any type of dog, every dog has their own personality and I respect that. Time management is one of my skills, I'm responsible, your dog will be provided with the care she/he needs, your dog/puppy will be in great hands. I know how important your best friend is, which is why I'll make sure to give you updates as frequent as possible about how your doggie is doing. I have a flexible schedule. Don't worry about weekends! Those are the best days for me. I will also be sure to follow any special instruction your pet may need. I can't wait to spread the love and care with your pets!
“Juan is an amazing person. I am grateful to have him interact with my baby (Rick). He is really good with animals, very understanding, kind, responsible, friendly, and easy going. From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.”
“Isabel was fantastic with our pup while we were away. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly took great care of him. The regular updates gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Tedy was absolutely exceptional at house and cat sitting during my first trip in several years. Both cats instantly fell in love with her, she kept my home tidy, and really made me feel safe and assured knowing they were safe and loved in her hands. Tedy is now a friend and the sitter I will rely on forever, she’s amazing.”
About: I've taken care of a series of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier, to a Pit bull, to a Husky and Pit bull mix and enjoyed them all. All of the dogs have stayed overnight and their owner are more than happy. I recently had a dog who it was his first time away from his owner so I had to build his trust. Within 24 hrs he was comfortable, jumping around with me, licking me, and making sure I was always near him. I tend to keep the owners up to date with pictures or videos if they would like and they always come back. I am a college student who works from home part time. Outside of that, I go to the gym and attend zoom meetings for my extracurricular activities. This gives me a lot of time to dedicate to the dogs and make sure they are well at all times. I have a fenced yard and security cameras at both the front door and back door as do all my neighbors. A variety of treats are always available for trust and training purposes. I make sure that someone is always home so your dog isn't alone, although I'm more than likely at home.
About: I would watch the pet in the home of the owner and would take care of the house and maintain it clean and or in my own home in consent of the owners I would feed the pet at a three meal basis and take them out to the bathroom when they need to and play with the pet s to keep them entertained. Provided a loving place to dogs and ensured their comfort when they are away from the owners Coordinated with owners over phone and mail to understand their pet's food requirements as well as methods to restrain aggressive behavior Took responsibility for walking and exercising more than 5 dogs daily and encouraged friendly relations in different breed dogs Performed duties of grooming pets and took them for outdoor activities in dog parks Prepared proper schedule of diet and nutrition plan for the dogs in the shelter and devised their rest timings after consulting the owners Developed long-term relationships with loyal customers and bonded with their pets outside the shelter center Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine sine it is a part time job for me. My schedule can change each week depending on the job I have. Normally my schedule is Monday -Thursday 8 am -7 pm. Ensured dogs’ physical safety at all times and made sure that they do not endanger any other animal or human in the vicinity. Picked up dogs from their homes and took them for engaged and attentive walks. Followed any special instructions or limitations that dog owners provided. Ensured that any waste on the road or sidewalk was cleaned immediately. Provided dogs with food and water by following a schedule provided by the dog owners.

Saint Albans pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot express enough how happy I am we found Phaedra! Shelby and Lucky instantly warmed up to her and we knew right away they’d be in great hands while we were away. She kept me updated the whole time and spent a lot of time working with Shelby, who is afraid of everything and is very reactive on walks, and it was amazing to see the difference in her from when we left to when we got back. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely have Phaedra watch Shelby & Lucky again!
Marlene was easy to communcate with from our first message. She arrived on time (and our appointment was for 5:30 in the morning, so this is an important detail), listened to all my anxious instructions, and followed them to a tee. She sent me an update to assure me that all was well, along with photos, which I truly appreciated. The dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and she with them, and they were content when I arrived back. She has a calm and reassuring demeanor, which put me at ease, and I would definitely want her to stay with my dogs again. I highly recommend her to you.
Kenine went above and beyond at the last minute for my rescue pup who is still decompressing from the shelter and learning manners. Kenine provided last minute coverage and reviewed and enforced 1000 details to help my pup feel safe and secure. She handled his needs on walks, with medication, a special diet, and his behaviors that we are working on. Grateful for Kenine’s patience, skill and support and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Kenine!
Dayanara did a home stay at my apartment and took care of my dog while I was out of town. She kept me updated every day and left my house better than how I left it! My doorman even told me how nice she was. Penny was well taken care of and was a happy pup when I got home.
Maggie and Ruthie love Keoma and their humans do too. Maggie is our special needs elderly greyhound. Ruthie is our elderly cat. Keoma stays with them when we travel and they seem relaxed when we come home. Plus, Keoma always leaves the flat nice and clean. Highly recommend!
I truly can’t put into words how grateful we are for Joanna and the care she provided for D. D is a rescue with past trauma, so he is extremely fearful and skittish at first. He’s not an easy dog. Joanna showed INCREDIBLE patience, especially on the first day, giving D the time and space he needed to warm up. Her calm and gentle nature immediately put him at ease. She took him on daily walks and trips to the dog park and consistently sent photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. There is nothing more comforting than knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and truly cared for, and Joanna exceeded all expectations. She also took wonderful care of my apartment — I returned to a clean and tidy home. I would absolutely trust Joanna again and cannot recommend her highly enough.
