“Sharon and Michael 100/10 would recommend! They are honestly the best. They take such great care of my husky. They send the most beautiful pictures of her. And they communicate and keep me updated about my husky!”


“Suzanne was highly responsive for booking and accommodating for drop off/pick up. While we didn’t have an opportunity for a meet and greet beforehand, she kindly responded to all my questions and concerns leading up to the stay. She sent a few quick updates and a couple photos during the two week stay, and didn’t report any issues. Suzanne was playing with my dog in the yard when I came to pick her up - they both looked like they were having a great time! Working with Suzanne was fuss-free and I would happily book with her again.”


“Trey has been a reliable dog sitter and trainer for my pup. She is kind, has great communication and is very caring. We are very lucky to have her!”


“This was my first time to ask someone watch my puppies as TWO 5 months old Siberian Huskies which are super energetic and still on training phase. Andrea seemed to know dog’s characteristics already and she probably expected how my puppies will be. However, she took care of them so good for two nights without any problems and I had no worries during whole time. I am not sure if it is coincidence but puppies’ behaviors seem to be better with physically and emotionally after Andrea! I highly recommend anyone Andrea’s care for their dogs. Thank you again, Andrea!”


“It was my first time using Rover for my dog and would 10/10 recommend Ryan to watch your pet! He gave constant updates, sent pictures and made sure my dog was well cared for. He was also very accommodating to my schedule and plans when dropping off and picking up my pet. Will definitely book with Ryan again in the future!”


“Fantastic dog sitter. Emily clearly cared for our dog like it was one of her own. Ivan was very happy and healthy when we picked him up. We will definitely be using Emily again!”


“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”


About: When I was around 12, I started taking care of my neighbor’s chocolate lab whenever they went camping. Ever since, I’ve known that caring for animals was a passion of mine. When I was old enough, I worked at an animal daycare for a year. Right now, I work 8:30–5:00 for a travel design company, but I can do walks during my lunch break, as well as check-ins, boarding requests, and feeding appointments. These days, I mostly help take care of my family and friends’ pets, and I’d be so happy to help care for yours too! I am a part time retail manager during the week and am a barista in the mornings on weekdays which i get off at 1 pm, so I have lots of time in afternoon. I think the biggest thing is this communication between the pet owner and the sitter. Any and all expectations will be met and I strive to go above and beyond.

“My dog Hunter thought he was on vacation too! Zhenya sent me pictures daily and it was clear he was having a dog gone good time! I highly recommend Zhenya to boards your pup!”

Spenard dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa is the best!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She boarded my puppy and was not only super sweet to him, but she also was so understanding and flexible with my schedule. This was the first stay booked through Rove, and I will absolutely not be shopping around for a dog sitter because we hit the jackpot contacting Alyssa first!

Izzy and her BF Aaron were so great with my 2 High Anxiety dogs! Super communicative. Sent me great photos and even dropped me some potential health concerns about my older dog. Just shows me that she is really caring and attentive when taking care of the dogs!

Ralph was great!! He had us stop by before our stay so we could see the house and chat with us about Sasha’s personality and needs. He had a beautiful back yard which she thoroughly enjoyed. She was tired when she got home..in a good way!! He checked in and sent pics. We would absolutely use Ralph again and recommend.
