Grateful to have found Aaren and Jordon. I felt comfortable trusting our boy with them the moment we met. We appreciated the great communication and the pictures/updates we received during Apollo‘s stay. Plus he got plenty of walking in so we know he loved that. Will be rebooking when that time comes. Thanks guys!

This is our second time booking with Angelica, and she is truly heaven-sent! She always provides Benzino with exceptional care, love, and hospitality. He enjoys his time with her so much that he didn't even want to leave! 🤣 She sent us multiple daily updates with the best pictures and videos. Angelica, thank you for taking such great care of our baby. We appreciate you more than you know and are so grateful to have found you. Benzino’s new BFF 🫶 She is highly recommended!

Hilary was wonderful with my pup and even set up a meet and greet prior to my stay to ensure he was comfortable in her home. She really eased my mind about having to leave him for the first time and made sure he was happy the whole time! She was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to end his stay sooner than expected due to him getting sick. She offered to care for him but I choose to have a friend come get him to take him to the vet instead just so he was with someone he knew. However, Hillary’s updates on his health during the time he was with her were thorough and helped keep me calm during this very stressful situation!

My dog loves going over Matt’s house. His ears perk up and he leaps out of my car with such excitement and that’s important to me. I travel for work and leaving my dog with someone kind is so important to me. You are here looking for a sitter - I say, look no further. He will love your dog and treat your pet as his own.

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!

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.

About: I've had dogs since I was 5 (I'm 36). Cats I never had my own-- although I am getting kittens very soon :) -- but I have pet-sit for 2 cats of a good friends for 9 years whenever he left town. I also had a neighbor with anywhere from 7-15 cats growing up, and many (but not all) of those cats loved me. I am looking to build this into a primary source of income. I have closed weekends per the default availability, but please inquire and I will do my best to make time on weekends as well. I allow them to explore my house supervised in order to feel comfortable and knowledgeable about their surroundings. I have a space in the middle of the house that will be for pet toys / chewing / napping / etc.

I really appreciate the loving care Laura & her family gave Harvey while we were away for 2 weeks! It was our first time leaving him since adopting him in Nov & it was very important to me that he would be in a nice home that welcomed him as part of the family. That is exactly what Laura provided! She is easy going & a good communicator, responding to all my questions quickly before & during Harvey's stay & sending pictures & notes of Harvey's daily activities. I highly recommend Laura!

Elizabeth was amazing! She sent daily photos, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely communicative and clearly cared about Nacho like he was her own. Nacho especially loved spending time with Peanut—they wrestled and played nonstop day and night! Knowing he was safe, happy, and having so much fun made all the difference for us. We would absolutely book with Elizabeth again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!

Ross and Ava are fabulous sitters! This was my dog’s first time staying with them and their sweet dog, George, and I was wondering if Reggie would want to come home with me after being taken care of so well! 😊 Ross & Ava were great with providing updates and also being mindful of the heat for walks. Finding a sitter can be such a stressful process but Ross & Ava were great with coordinating a meet and greet beforehand and putting my mind at ease. Your pet will be in great hands!

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!
