“Hans had a great time with their family. We appreciated the pictures and info on how he was doing. Always nice to see Hans getting snuggles in while we are away. Their other dog was a sweetie and got along with Hans perfectly. We will definitely book again when we have to head out of town next time.”


“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”



“as always, we LOVE Thelma and Gary. Our babies are happy to go see shelly, sit by the pool or just hang on furniture with THelma and Gary. We couldn't be happier with them.”


“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”

“Asia was fantastic with our dog. She communicated very well and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We hope to use her again soon.”

“Emma was so sweet to our Emma corgi! We got updates throughout the day and anytime we asked for an update when we had moment while on vacation and missing our little fur baby. We were notified of another dog that planned to stay around the same time and given that heads up on if we were comfortable with it. Emma B even made sure to give our dog and the other a nice intro in the park before they went to stayed together for a few days. We always felt our Emma was in good hands and were told how much everyone loved her around the area and she got along so well with other dogs and had lots of time in the dog park that was apart of the apartment. We would book with Emma B for sure the next time we need a dog sitter! She is great and is so communicative and loving to our dog and any dog she cares for! :)”

Will definitely book her again in the future and recommend to those looking for sitter!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”

Charlotte was great! Lots of walks, lots of socialising and lots of pictures. Will definitely be dropping my dog off with Charlotte again 👍🏻.

Rachel did an amazing job of taking care of Mac. She gave me updates and made sure to send me pictures. She treated my dog like it was her own. If you want someone with a good heart to care for your dog, Rachel is a good one!

Leslie was a fantastic dog sitter for my 12 pound, 13 year old Malti-Poo! She went above and beyond with him as he is an older dog and needed medications given which she did willingly. She communicated with me quickly and often and sent pictures each evening of my sweet Buddy as he relaxed and played and this level of communication made me feel great about leaving Buddy with a sitter for the first time in his life. In fact, she took such great care of Buddy that he almost didn't want to leave and come home to South Carolina with me. Finally, Leslie's location was ideal and very convenient to Siesta Key and her fenced in big back yard is just what everyone wants for their dog. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone who needs a dog sitter.

Absolutely wonderful! Came home to a happy pup, lots of updates and messages. Perfect place for my doggie!

Stephany was very attentive to our Brittany. She gave him extra walks & daily updates. We’ve always had a hard time boarding our Brittany bc he needs a lot of personal attention. But he had a great time w Stephany

Our dog always has a blast!!! She loves Christal!! Highly recommend using her for all Rovers services

Anne has helped me out in short notice multiple times. She’s been a great communicator and our dog is happy to go there. Thank you!

Jessica is amazing and everything you want from someone to take care of our lovely furry friends. We boarded our 17 week old pup with Jessica and could not be happier with our decision. She is observant, caring, kind, flexible, and never failed to provide updates and communicate with us when our pup stayed with her. I highly recommend Jessica and would 1000% board with her again!

Nero loved his stay with Barbara and Archie. Barbara sent updates and photos each day. Nero ate well and slept comfortably. I highly recommend Barbara and will book again.

Anissa and her husband are the kindest dog loving people out there! We have a very anxious poodle mix who we very rarely leave with anyone …. I would not hesitate to leave my sweet boy with this wonderful couple 💕

We left our shy dog with viktoryia for 3 weeks when we were out of the country. My dog is a rescue and while a sweet girl, she only likes one person - me. She did very well because Victoryia has a way with dogs. She sent some pictures and videos and I could tell my shy little dog felt right at home. Your dear dog will be in good hands at this lovely rover home.

Wonderful people. My dog was happy and tired from playing with their fur babies. Great experience. I will definitely call James again the next time I go out of town. He was quick to respond to any questions.

My little ole man, Desi, just loved Jo AND her own dogs! I will use Jo again. She is trustworthy and Desi was comfortable with her. She gave him his meds & only the food I provided personally. 5 out of 5!

Monica is an absolutely wonderful boarder! I could tell Penny was well looked after. Received great pictures and updates from her. She is now my 1st go to for boarding when! Thanks doesn’t begin to express my gratitude!

Took great care of my pup, treated her like one of her own, and great communication and flexibility! Thank you!

Deborah was an excellent sitter. This was the fist time I left poor Addie. She was scared and Deborah did all she could to make her feel safe.

Our girls were comfortable and happy during the stay! Danielle was very welcoming and caring with our girls.
