“Mollie is such an excellent communicator and really makes you feel safe and comfortable leaving your fur baby. I'm so thankful to have found someone so genuine who cares for my pet like their own!”

“Sherry was absolutely amazing! I loved receiving her regular updates and photos, my pup always looked happy, relaxed, and completely at ease. I would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!”

“Khaytlen is amazing! We get great pictures and videos throughout the day and our puppy is very happy with her. She is very knowledgeable and gives us great feedback on our puppy’s progress . We feel completely confident leaving our puppy in her care. Thank you Khaytlen!”

“Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Westin and I absolutely loved Mariana!! She was so kind and kept me up to date throughout the day along with sending adorable pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving Westin with her and he got so excited every time he saw her. Highly recommend!!”

“My dog Modi absolutely loves Sienna! She does amazing with him and he always comes home EXHAUSTED. We had modi go to someone else while I wasnt in town,mistake there on my part, and she was so willingly to take him in an hours notice. I always get nervous leaving modi with people but we have constantly gone back to Sienna for daycare and will use her for boarding if we ever need it. She also sends us updated pictures of him, which I love. 10/10 recommend and I can’t stress how amazing she is ☺️”

“My dog and I had our first daycare day with Kate and her crew, and it was an outstanding experience. Her facility is lovely with a very clean, safe and fun play area; the dogs are happy, well supervised and clearly getting lots of love and attention. Most of all Kate herself is professional, knowledgeable and very kind, as are her helpers. She’s also an excellent photographer, as the multiple pictures and videos she sent me throughout the day of my dog having fun attest. I felt very confident leaving my boy in her care and will be doing so again.”

“Christopher was so kind and took great care of my grumpy old man :) he was very responsive, sent daily photos, and gave lots of love! He even gave him a bath and cleaned his eye boogers for him. Thank you so much! We will definitely come back!”
“Micayla has been absolutely awesome! She has been so easy and flexible when working with scheduling and does a great job tiring out my high energy dog. My dog gets so excited as soon as we get to her house! Highly recommend!”

“Joshua was available on short notice to watch Grey for a few hours. Communication was as expected and Grey was properly tired when we got home so a time was had.”

“Ivonne and her family are wonderful! Ivonne is attentive, kind, and so good with animals! My shy and sometimes difficult little dog was welcomed and embraced in her care. She was consistent with communication and sending photos and I felt good leaving my baby with her all day!”

About: I've always had a dog in the home, I couldn't live without them. Currently I have four dogs and know the importance of getting a bit of extra help in caring for them from time to time. I have been a pet and home sitter since the age of 15. I am willing to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, and play with your fur baby just as I would my own! I am currently a Mental Health Clinician that works remotely. This provides me the flexibility to manage my schedule to fit you and your pet's needs. I have my own transportation and am willing to come to you. I have four small dogs that are well trained and friendly with other fur babies. For pet stays I do try to engage in a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along prior to a stay. I have my own home with fenced yard in front and back. When pet sitting I like to spend my time home with your pet to help them feel comfortable in my space or yours. We will sit on the couch, play, and relax together allowing you the peace of mind to know that your fur baby is being taken care of while you are away.

“Ethan is super responsive, caring and loving to our dog! We've used him for boarding and then as a last minute daycare, he was so accommodating and great to work with!”

About: I work remote and am home 24/7 with my 2 doodles allowing any dogs that stay to be attended to, plenty of room to run around, and friends to keep them occupied. I have had dogs most of my life and have always trained them myself to be very social, active, and friendly. My job is fully remote so I get to hang out with dogs all day long! I typically take my dogs hiking or swimming on the weekends but they are just as happy staying at home if there’s friends to play with. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly doodles to keep your doggo(s) happy. I also have multiple crates that can be used if requested.
“We have booked Kelly multiple times, and our once-anxious shih tzus were practically dragging my husband across the lawn to greet her this time. They adore “Auntie Kelly” and they were a little sad to leave Khloe behind at the end of the day. I love the regular updates and photos she sends throughout the day, and she truly cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I (still!) highly recommend her!”

About: I was born into a family with pets, and have grown up with animals my entire life, both cats and dogs. As a As an adult, I have always had a small dog, and can’t imagine not having one. People say I love animals more than humans, sometimes I think that might be true! I will take care of your pets like I take care of my own pets with care, love, and affection. I have a 7 year old Malti-poo that gets along with both cats and dogs and loves having the company! I only work 3.5 days a week. I own my own salon , so I can take small dogs to the salon with me. I will make sure that your animal is well taken care of, played with and shown affection. I have a fully fenced in backyard for your pet to play and use the bathroom. Other than that, they will be in my home roaming freely, just like my own pet.
South End dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa took great care of our 5 month old puppy. As it was our first experience with dog sitting, we were a little nervous, but Alyssa’s knowledge and calm energy put us at ease. Our dog had a great stay and we appreciated the pictures and updates. We will definitely book again with her!

Atom and I feel so lucky to have met Sherry and Lambo! Sherry is friendly, attentive, and comforting ~ it’s hard to leave your favorite dog in the world in anyone’s hands, but she really eased my nerves. She sent photos and updated through out the day and it made me so happy to see Atom and Lambo together. Atom can’t wait to come back again! 💕

Khaytlen is a blessing to both dogs and their pet parents! She was very helpful in being able to work with me on accommodating a meet and greet, was very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and territoriality to keep the dogs and her safe (which I didn't even think of), and provided updates via pictures and videos of my dog's adventures out and about. He clearly had a great time, was well-cared for, and practically didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up--highly recommended! Thanks again, Khaytlen!
Highly recommend!! I appreciated that Tory offered a meet & greet prior to the booking. Grey loved her time there. She was so excited when we got out of the car, knowing she was on her way to hang with Tory and his family. I was a tad jealous - I wanted to watch her have all the fun. Big yard, loving home. Can’t wait to book again.

Kate was very friendly, wonderful with Enzo and worked with me and my schedule. She has a great backyard, where he loved to explore and run around. I was so appreciative of Kate being able to jump in and watch him for the day while I was at work. I highly recommend her and no doubt we will see her again!
