“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”
“Hilary and Willlie are fantastic. I was totally comfortable having our dog Layla away from us for over a week for the first time. She was totally taken care of and loved. The daily updates were great. Thank you so much.”
“Overall great experience!! Damacia was amazing I know for a fact that my pup was in great care. Communication was on point and I loved receiving photo updates while on vacation. I would definitely book again!”
“Kendra was GREAT! I am skeptical about leaving my girl but knew Kendra could be trusted when my girl was eager to enter the house during our meet and greet session. During Demie's stay, Kendra sent morning and afternoon check-ins with photos daily. She took GREAT care of my baby! I will be booking my her next stay immediately.”
“Matt was such an amazing sitter. He gave me daily updates and sent pics of how much fun my little Odessa was doing. He knew that I haven't boarded her before so he was extra attentive and kind which immediately eased my worries. I can't wait to book with Matt again!”
“Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful, I highly recommend and am really grateful for her thoughtful care of my elderly pup! It was helpful knowing my dog was in good company and enjoying all the smells and sunny spots in her nice backyard.”
“Alex is fantastic! She’s watched our pups twice now- including when we traveled cross country- and we always know they are in good hands. She sends us updates, is great with communication, and clearly cares deeply for animals. We can’t recommend her enough”
“Nadia was available last minute to take in my fur baby & kept great communication throughout my animal’s stay. My pup enjoyed being around the other animals & having room to roam. I felt extremely comfortable she was able to give me updates & answer any questions I had in a timely manner. I have already rebooked! ☺️💕”
“Jeff was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it definitely was clear that zeph had a great time! Jeff was very communicative and spent plenty of time to get to know both me and Zeph on a meet and greet prior to our stay. He sent plenty of pictures and updates and catered to zephyrs routine which I'm so beyond grateful for! Zeph will absolutely be visiting his now Uncle Jeff again soon! Thank you so much for being so great with Zephyr!!!”
“Aaren and Jordan are absolutely amazing, phenomenal pet sitters! From the moment I left Arya in their care, I knew she was in loving and patient hands. They treated her like family, and that meant everything to me while I was away. Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾”
“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”
“Laura took great care of my boys. She sent pictures everyday and kept me posted on how they were doing. She genuinely cared for our boys like they were her boys. I will definitely book with Laura again.”
“Stacey was the ultimate sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover! She scheduled time for our dogs to meet in a public area first followed by a tour of her home and yard where Sebastian would be staying. I received photos of how much fun he was having while on my trip, and to be honest I bet he's looking forward to his next stay, what with having a four legged buddy and a wrap-around, fenced-in yard for unlimited zoomies. I can't recommend Stacey enough and will be sticking with her whenever it suits going forward.”
“First time having my dog watched by Zach he did everything I asked of him and more and on top of that was extremely friendly and kind! My dog had an accident or two didn't, cause a issue about it while I was for business I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with him”
“Raye was absolutely great! She kept me informed about how he was doing, she sent photos, she was very accommodating and really created a nice environment for dogs to have fun and fellowship. I would definitely come back to her any day and recommend anyone for her service!”
About: Although I don't have a pup of my own , I've loved dogs since I could walk! My grandmother and Aunt always kept their dogs around me and they became my best friends. Over the years I've cared for the pups of my friends and family. I currently work full time as a Licensed massage therapist. Weekdays are my busiest and weekends are typically when I'm free the most. I’m the perfect person to take care of your pups during your weekend getaways! I live on Bainbridge st but I know of plenty of safe spaces and trails to walk nearby. My apartment is dog friendly and I will have plenty of places to walk and play with your pup. I don't have any children or other pets , so your pet will get all my love and attention!
Southwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Allison is the best! This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s nothing short of wonderful. She lives on our baby like they’re her own and she updated us so consistently that we felt like he was with us. I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !
I’ll leave as many glowing reviews for Lauren and Colin as I can! They just watched our dog, Haley, for 10 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lauren is extremely communicative, shares several photos throughout the day, and asks questions if needed. I’m a worrywart but when Haley is with Lauren I’m totally relaxed. I’m lowkey worried Haley won’t want to leave all of her buddies and come home. Can’t recommend Lauren enough!
Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!
You want your dogs at Franceska’s! Wow, great house and backyard. Their dogs are great and our dogs became great friends. Franceska kept us up to date with pictures and let us know how they were doing daily. They had a great time. We have a senior dog and a puppy; they handled both with ease. Really great people to work with. Will have them take care of our dogs again!
