“Ilona was very calm and sweet at drop off. She took really good care of Choo Choo. She got him to eat which is quite a chore. She sent me pictures during his stay. I will definitely use her again.”

“Skylar was amazing at sending photos and updating us on our Peaches. This was the first time I used Rover and first time Peaches stayed with someone who wasn’t family. Thank you, Skylar!”


“Nicole is always a wonderful sitter to our dogs. She was available to look after them for four trips this summer, we always know they are loved and in good hands! Our dogs are always so excited to go to her home too which makes us happy :).”

“JJ is the best! She is so loving and detailed when taking care of our dog Sammy. I trust her 100 percent and feel so comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. This is our second time leaving Sammy with her and we have been so spoiled I can’t imagine Sammy staying with anyone else. Thanks JJ!”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as helping friends and family with theirs. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I also provide daily photo and/or video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. Our home has a large yard perfect for zoomies and a cozy space for plenty of puppy snuggles. My husband and I both work from home during the week, so your dog will rarely be alone. We also have a doggy door that allows pets to go outside whenever they need a potty break or just want to enjoy the sunshine in our fully enclosed, gated yard. We look forward to welcoming your pup into our home and treating them like part of the family! Because my husband and I both work from home, your pup will have constant company, plenty of attention, and lots of playtime throughout the day, so they’ll never feel lonely. Your pup will have access to a fully fenced yard with plenty of turf for running, playing, or soaking up the sunshine. The doggy door lets them come and go freely, and we’re located near walking trails, so they’ll get plenty of exercise during their stay.
About: I am professional dog trainer and kennel specialist! I'll show extreme love and compassion for your dog as if they were my own child or pet. Having fun and exercising will be a priority on my list while watching your dog! We will go on plenty of walks throughout the day and spend plenty of time together. Your dog will never feel alone while left in my care, that is a guarantee! I have a large amount of experience pet sitting my neighbors and family members dogs 5 times over the past 3 years. Each of the experiences were amazing. My goal is to make your dog feel at ease and as comfortable as possible. I'll make sure your dog is well fed, hydrated, loved, and healthy while they are in my care. I also have cared for many cats, including my own, over the past 10 years(: I currently train dogs so dogs are most of what I think about. The kennel I train at is extremely close and my schedule is flexible so your pup will never be left alone for more than 2 hours (: Plenty of pets and rubs, hikes and walks catered to the pups ability, and care like they are apart of my family! I will be sure to send plenty of updates and pictures (:
“Very pleasant experience! Fiona was very communicative, sending photo updates 3-4 times a day. From the videos she sent, our dog seemed just as playful as ever. She responded quickly and asked us clarifying questions when needed. Before we booked, she also allowed a short meet-and-greet to accustom our dog with her house!”


“This is our 2nd time using Summer. She always responds quickly, and send us lots of updates with pictures. We will surely be reaching out to Summer next time we have an outing.”

“Susana was amazing and very accommodating, she hosted my dog last minute and took great care of him! She provided frequent videos/pictures with updates on how he is doing since he doesn’t spend a lot of time away from home. She even tried hand feeding him when he wasn’t eating. Thank you Susana and your beautiful family for taking care of Kylo as if he was one of your own!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tiffany & her husband. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby felt safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. Not only did they follow every instruction perfectly, but they also took extra time to give my pup walks, pool-time , and plenty of affection. Thank you again! 🐶 🐾”

“Anh and William were amazing! They sent updates and photos of Yeti every day. They took him on daily walks and their whole family played with him. They got to know Yeti pretty well and he had a great time with their dog as well! Super awesome!”

“We left our dog with Kevin for two weeks while traveling abroad. It went very well and we got daily photos and updates. Sky was a very happy dog when we got him back. Would recommend and leave our dog there again.”

“Can I say something more than AWESOME?!! The whole family engaged with Maxie and Maxie already considers that part of the pack. They were able to help out on short notice and saved my bacon! Dmitri and Lana are great at communicating and sharing Maxie’s activities. They are a kind and caring family. Debbi”

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I have experience with rescues. I'm an active sitter near hiking trails. Last minute availability is possible. I'm currently working from home part-time making pet care fit easily into my days. If you need daily drop-ins for feeding, walking, running or medications, or ball play, we can set up a custom plan for your fur babies. I treat every pet as if it's my own. If your pet has special needs, we can discuss how best I can make them feel at ease. I'm here to help and open to handling specific needs. I've been there myself with my own babies.
“Elena has been such a godsend to our two little guys!!! She is amazing with them and I trust her completely to make sure they’re cared for and loved. They LOVE the huge fenced-in backyard at the house. They spend basically all day out there by choice! She’s wonderful with them and I’ll keep coming back!”

“Thank you so much for caring for Miller like he was your own! I love that Miller and your pup Charlie are new best friends, I’m sure he can’t wait to come visit again! Thank you for all the communication and for making sure he didn’t overdo it either! Thanks!”


“Laura was so kind and patient with our puppy. She was great at updating us and even more great at taking care and giving extra attention to our puppy, Angel! We appreciate you so much Laura.”

“We had the absolute, best experience boarding our dogs with Jeff and his family! They took care of them, and loved them like they were their own dogs. They sent many pictures throughout the stay, which warmed my heart. I plan to use them again, and I highly recommend their services.”

Michelle is wonderful!! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my sweet dog with her. Then she took great care of him. She had a couple other pups there for him to play with. She also got him to eat which is very hard to do. I was sent many updates, pictures and videos of him during his stay. I have used Michelle a couple of times and I am planning on using her again in the future.

Danielle is fabulous! We left our labradoodle with Danielle for 4 days and Danielle followed up each day with photos and a short description of how the day went. Danielle understands what pet owners are worried about, what we're thinking of regarding our pets when we're not with them. Danielle's actions of sending photos and a daily summary eases/rids those concerns. Our pet was well taken care of by Danielle! Danielle was also very understanding and accommodating for our unique needs and situations. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who's looking for a loving and caring boarder for their pet-family-member.

This is Bandit's second stay with Ernestina and her husband but the longest stay, (5 nights). First time over night for more than 1 night. Due the amount of packing preparations for our trip, he sensed something was up and became very anxious before and after I dropped him off. Ernestina texted me and sent a photo later that evening, reassuring me that Bandit was relaxed and eating. This put my mind at ease so that I could enjoy my trip without worrying about him. I really appreciate the care, and Love Ernestina and her husband gives Bandit. He's a true Jack Russell Terrier with a very high level of energy which Ernestina and her husband recognize and handle with ease. Thank you both again.

I think I have found the best pup sitter ever. It’s always very nerve racking to leave your baby with a stranger. Christina was so sweet from the very first interaction. She seems like such a loving person, and it was apparent that she truly loves animals. She sent me pictures of my pup and he looked so happy that I was able to truly enjoy my vacation time. I am so happy with the choice I made here.

Anjali was absolutely amazing with my little Lucy. Since it was my first time using her to board Lucy I was nervous but she put my mind at ease by sending pictures throughout the day and first thing every morning. It was so reassuring to see Lucy feeling comfortable under her care. Anjali’s attentiveness and regular updates made all the difference. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I’ve already decided Lucy will definitely be returning to Anjali’s care. Highly recommend her services to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.👍

Olivia was a fabulous sitter for our rescue dog who gets nervous in new environments. She was patient and thoughtful, making sure our dog had time to settle in and feel at home. She was very communicative and sent us plenty of updates and photos. We would definitely recommend her as a sitter!
