“Angela is communicative, kind and friendly. I’ve never used Rover before and I am so happy I did. My dog Sammy is high energy and a bit needy so I was nervous. But it worked out great and I was so glad to see everyday that Sammy was in great hands and having fun. A++++ THANK YOU”
“Dawn and Eric were great. I appreciate that they were flexible for drop off and pick up times, and were understanding when we encountered icy road conditions on the way home and needed to pick up later than planned.”
“We were very excited and nervous to leave our puppy with a sitter. Snickers, is easy and we knew we would have no problem. Luna, our very energetic puppy we were nervous, Britnie introduced her slowly and she played well with the other dogs. Britney sent daily notes and pictures that made us feel very comfortable about what they were doing. We will ask Britnie to watch our furbabies again.”
“Monica took very good care of my little guy all weekend. Seeing all the pictures throughout the weekend seemed like he was right at home and very comfortable with her and her family. She also was able to administer medication to him because of a last minute ear infection. Definitely will be booking future dog sitting with Monica in the future. Thanks Again!!!”
“Kareema is a very warm and welcoming young lady who was able to take my kitties on fairly short notice. She gave me updates and pictures of my happy kitties which helped my anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. My cats were happy and very well attended to under her care. When the time comes that I ever need to have my pets taken care of again, Kareema is my 1st choice. Thank you so much Kareema, Mr. Pickles, Chi-chi Michi, and we appreciate you 😊”
“Janelle was wonderful. She took great care of our dog and kept us posted on how things were going. Would recommend her for anyone looking for an awesome and thoughtful sitter!”
“Queeny always takes such great care of Kaju! We went away on a two-week trip and I don’t think Kaju wanted to leave Queeny’s - even running back to her for one last goodbye! She sends photos and status updates on any new friends he has made during his stay. I know I can trust her to take great care of Kaju and I will always recommend her!! Your pup will be in great hands 😊”
“Ashley was so accommodating and kind to our Riza! We got constant updates and cute photos of our puppy living her best life. Will definitely be asking for Red in the future!!”
“Destiny was very professional, she sent pictures daily of my doggy playing and taking walks. I recommend that you use her services. I felt completely comfortable that my doggy was safe and happy. I’ll be using her services in the near future.”
“Katherine was a fantastic accommodating host for our precious Bruno! We were running late to drop him off and then had a family emergency that delayed us picking him up a few hours later than planned. She sent us photos throughout his stay and asked us about taking him out. I appreciated her consideration. We will absolutely be using her again in the future if she will have us!”
“Chetoya was great! I needed someone last minute and she was anle to work with me. My dog can be a little antisocial, she's an older dog of 13yrs, and Chetoya was able to bring her out if her shell. She even had her playing with her own dog. Chetoya was very responsive and sent updates with pics. I highly recommend!”
“Natalia and her whole family was absolutely wonderful to deal with! They took such great care of Monkey, and I would recommend her over and over again. She was my first time using Rover and I am so happy! I will definitely be booking with her again! I love that Monkey had a little friend to follow around and feel at home with too”
“Could not be happier with our experience with Emily and Jason!!! Completely professional, warm and friendly with the whole experience. We started with a casual meet and greet to ensure her baby Larry and my babies would get along ok. Then during their stay she sent us tons of updates and photos every day. My dogs came home so happy. Truly the best experience we have ever had on Rover. She even sent them home with little treats and a hand written card. Will absolutely be a repeat customer, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“Lindsay was GREAT! She sent multiple pictures and kept me informed of how my pup was doing during the entire duration of her stay. You can tell she has a true love for dogs and takes her job as a sitter very seriously!”
About: I’ve done a lot of puppy raising and training. I have had 6 labs that I have raised and trained from 6 weeks old on. I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication and helping them to get around and be comfortable. I would love to watch your new puppy while you are away for the day or longer. I can help with basic training socialization. I am occasionally subbing for special education at a school at the corner of my street. If I happen to get called into sub I am able to come home at lunch only leaving the dogs for a few hours at a time. I have a 5 year old yellow Labrador that is very friendly and gets along very well with other dogs. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard—and a built-in companion! Dogs I welcome into our home are treated like part of the family, just like our own beloved fur baby. I also have a crate available, which our dog uses freely whenever she wants a cozy spot to relax.
“Megan has watched my pup several times and is great and reliable. My dog clearly has fun and loves it there as she's always excited as we pull up and can't wait to get inside the house!”
“Lisa was phenomenal she did check ins with us and the dogs seemed very happy when she sent us daily pics of all the pups. She communicated very well and we will be using her again in the future.”

Rachael treated Monty like a member of her family! He got all the play time and snuggles he could ever want. We had full trust in Rachael to watch Monty for 12 days while we were in Europe. She was very communicative and provided lots of pictures. Will definitely leave Monty with her in the future!
This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Craig! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, but was instantly put at ease. Craig kept me updated multiple times a day, which I appreciated. He went above and beyond with them-taking them for multiple walks a day that even included going to parks and the beach, giving them so much love and attention. He genuinely cared about them and wanted them to have a fun, happy stay. I came home to two very happy (and tired) dogs, and I’m honestly sad their stay is over because I know how much fun they had. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely use him again.
Katie was great!! My dog had a blast staying with her and was well cared for. She gave regular updates and communicated throughout his stay. My dog has some special health needs and quirks about him as well, but she was awesome helping him. Would 100% book again with her! :)
