“Araceli was fantastic watching Roxy and Sushi! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how they were doing. Both pups clearly had the best time and came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice. She sent us updates about how Dolly was adjusting along with photos. It’s clear her home is full of animal lovers! We could not recommend her more. Thank you Jessica!”

“I booked with Izac just a couple days before. Communication was super easy and he and his wife were very reassuring and experienced (I’m always the more anxious one when leaving my dogs). Drop off and pick up were quick and simple. I would definitely leave my babies with them again!”

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”

“Blake’s stay with Zannah & Doug was great! I really appreciated their communication, and all the small things to ensure Blake’s comfortability. Zannah’s passion and love for dogs has no bounds, and that is seen in the care they provide. Highly recommend!”

“Ella is so prompt with everything keeping us posted everyday on how our KOJI is doing , she’s super easy to communicate with. 100% recommending her to take care of your pet. Thank you ELLA for everything!”

Southcrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Connie was absolutely amazing!! We were not sure who had a better trip, us or our dog Flo. At our meet and greet we got good vibes, and shortly after confirmed our boarding booking. Very dog friendly home and fenced back yard for Flo to venture in. She was very communicative and sent great pics daily. We were so grateful to find Connie and her daughter to care and cuddle our Flo!!

Carolina was just so wonderful to my senior pup. I took a vacation that had me very nervous leaving my little boy for so long.. but carolina really put me at ease that he was in good hands. She updated me daily with wonderful videos and Pics of my boy immediately after dropping him off. She treated my pup like one of her own and I could see in the videos and pictures that he was on his own little vacation with her. I honestly cant thank her enough for treating my pup so well and as if he was part of her family.... wonderful first time using rover and she exceeded my expectations of this app and her care for my doggo. Highly recommend her. Wonderful positive experience!!!

It’s so hard to try a new rover for our most special girl- but Emmy made the process easy! She is very professional and kind and Annie pup had no problems going with her. Emmy sent us photos and updates and Annie looked so happy in every one of them. AND! Annie came home with a spring in her step and a smile in her eyes. We will absolutely be booking with Emmy again and feel so lucky to have found her!

My dog has stayed with Susie & Galen several times, and he's always so happy and so well taken care of. He gets plenty of exercise and socialization - he gets excited when we pull up to their house! Great communication throughout trips and a happy puppy to come home to.

This was our first time using Rover for our dog Maverick, and we had a really great experience with Yantian, who boarded him from before Christmas through after New Year’s. Maverick has some specific needs, so doing a meet-and-greet beforehand was super helpful. Maverick got along with Yantian and their dog, Sesame, which put us at ease. When we dropped Maverick off (along with all his stuff), Yantian walked us through where Maverick would sleep and spend his time, and Maverick was comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, Yantian was very responsive and sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear Maverick was comfortable, happy, and having a good time. Maverick clearly liked both Yantian and Sesame, and the communication throughout the stay was excellent. We’d definitely book again and highly recommend Yantian!

We had a wonderful experience with Monique. They took such great care of Dimo and kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dimo settled in quickly, was comfortable overnight, and clearly felt at home—he even got to enjoy relaxing, watching TV, and spending time with their family. It was clear he was treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the excellent care and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!

Harley loves staying at Lisa’s house! She treats him like he’s her own and makes sure he gets lots of love! Lisa is great about sending daily notes and photos so I never miss Harley too much! Her yard is perfect for a change from just all walks. Highly recommend Lisa!
