“This was my 1st experience with Rover. Brittany was very accommodating to newbie like myself, and I appreciated that. Also she was very sweet and calm, which made me very comfortable leaving our pup. She is very responsive. I think my pup had a great experience. We will use her again!”
“MMonika was absolutely amazing. Our fur babies hardly missed a beat while we were away. We were using another sitter, however she moved, and we were truly lucky to find Monika. Her professionalism and care for our pets were unmatched. From the daily updates to the extra attention she gave them, Monika went above and beyond our expectations. We are grateful to have found such a reliable and compassionate pet sitter like her.”
“We had a last minute need for a sitter and Ann-Marie was absolutely amazing! We are so glad we found her- she took great care of our Stanley and sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos to keep us assured of his condition throughout the stay. Would totally book again! Thank you Ann-Marie!”
“Great first time experience with Rover & our sitter, Brenda! She treated our Gizmo as her own & kept us updated with texts & pictures. He was as clean & happy when we picked him up as when we dropped him off. A+++?”
“Haley was fantastic! I was unsure initially how to feel using rover, but this experience was all the reassurance I needed! I couldn’t be happier with her care and communication.”
“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”
“Miranda is our go to sitter. She always takes such great care of Bluebell along with her husband and kids. Our pup always comes home happy and ready for a nap from all the play!”
“Christen and her family were absolutely amazing to my two pups. I contacted her on very short notice when I had a work emergency, and she was so prompt and communicative. Onyx and Opal had a great time, a lot of cuddles, and they were very well cared for. Will definitely rebook, and I recommend to anyone!”
“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Alexis as our dog sitter while we were away on our trip. She was incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure Molly was well cared for. Alexis made us feel like she cared just as much about our dog as we do, showing a genuine love for animals that goes beyond just doing it for the money. We truly appreciate her dedication and compassion. Without a doubt, Alexis will be the first person we call the next time we need a sitter. We love her and highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Ronda and her husband Dave are AMAZING! I have never left Lucie with anyone before and was nervous to do so but I could not have asked for a better sitter. Lucie has had some anxiety problems lately but she was so spoiled and loved throughout her stay. Ronda made sure to keep me up to date throughout her stay and sent a bunch of pictures of her being spoiled. I am definitely going to ronda again for boarding and doggy day care. I have no problem recommending her to ANYONE who needs a sitter. Thank you so much for making mine and Lucies first experience an enjoyable one.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Growing up with pets taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, personalities, and needs from feeding and walking to bath time and snuggles. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to love on their fur babies like they were my own.

I’m mindful, attentive, and follow your pet’s routine closely. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

Michelle S.
“Michelle is AMAZING! I seriously can’t say enough good things. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to handle them with patience and care. My dog can be a little nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Michelle immediately. She gave me regular updates, sent the cutest pics, and followed all my care instructions perfectly. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and clearly well loved like he had a little vacation of his own. I also really appreciated how professional and down to earth she was. You can just feel that she takes this seriously and treats your pet like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 10/10. Highly recommend. 🐾”
