“we have left finley with Michael over 5 times and always have peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of while we are gone. Michael sends us so many pictures and videos while we are away. He has a huge yard that Finley loves to run around in. I can’t say enough great things about Michael!”
“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”

“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“Shea & Damien are literally the best! I am usually very over protective of my pets so it’s hard for me to find sitters but I have definitely found my go to! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them & my dogs loved spending time with them. Fenced in yard & clean house - I’ll choose them every time. Thank you again!!”
“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”
“Paola was amazing! Benny got comfortable right away. Paola provided updates without being prompt and kept Benny safe and happy. Paola was also flexible with the last minute change on who was going to be doing drop-off and pick-off. Benny will definitely be visiting Paola’s again!”
“Emily was so great watching our energetic lab for a few nights! Her communication was super prompt and she shared daily updates with pics/videos. She was so accommodating and her whole family seemed to welcome our dog into their home. Would highly recommend Emily’s boarding services! We’ll be back!! 🙂”
“We left our baby girl with Kate and her beautiful family. We have been so at ease while away because she has been so good about communicating with pictures and updates daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care she’s given our Piper. We will definitely use them again when the need arises.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to birds, guinea pigs, and more—so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. In my home, every pet is treated like family, with lots of love, attention, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I also keep owners updated by sending photos throughout the day, so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, comfortable, and truly at home. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, attention, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need while staying with me. I provide a safe, clean, loving, and comfortable home where every pet is treated like part of my family. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to play and explore. I always supervise the pets, provide a calm environment, and follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions from their owner.
“My dog, Ollie, just spent a week with Sandy and I cannot say enough about how great she was. I hadn’t ever left him with anyone other than family and from the first minute I met Sandy during our meet and great, she put me right at ease. She was communicative and caring and he clearly had a great time. I would (and will!) rebook her in a heartbeat!”
“I am so happy to have found Elaine and Ken on Rover.com. My dog Tessie was so well taken care of and I will definitely leave her again! I was gone for 5 days and Elaine was in constant contact with me including pictures of Tessie! I would recommend this family to anyone! Thanks Elaine!”
“Lauren's family is top notch for dog sitting. Right away I felt at ease leaving our pup Olive, with Lauren and Brian. Lauren has a way with dogs, she is knowledgeable and has a caring demeanor about her. I loved the fact that my dog was able to have some extra exposure to children (as I do not have any), so this was a bonus for us. The environment was comfortable and cozy, Olive being a shy, timid soul felt right at home in no time! :)”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Karyn took amazing care of our Eno. She was super easy to communicate with and also gave us updates and photos which we loved. Eno will be back for sure because she was taking such good care of.”
“Mellissa is the best Oliver had a great time there he was introduced to new people and some 4 legged friends too super care he did not want to leave we will do this again thank you so much.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spencer
I highly recommend Lauren and Brian. They helped us out tremendously taking in a family members pups when they unexpectedly needed a place to stay for a week. We got updates with photos everyday, and Lauren even gave them a bath the day before pickup to make sure they were fresh and clean for us. It was clear that they were well taken care of, and their effort to keep us informed was really appreciated.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Spencer home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Spencer.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Spencer sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
