“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”

“I highly recommend Jenn and Brian. They took great care of my senior dog, Dixie. I had never boarded my dog before so I was a bit anxious how things would play out. But daily communications and pictures were sent making me feel comfortable that I had left my girl with the right family.”

“Within a minute of meeting Melissa, I could tell she was sweet, trustworthy and really loves dogs. She was so easy to talk and knew how to take care of my senior doing. My dogs loved her so much they cuddled with her. Would recommend her to anyone to watch their dogs. She sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I could actually go on vacation and relax knowing that my dogs were safe.”

About: I did not have any dogs growing up- my parents were allergic, but I have always loved dogs, and I knew I wanted one when I was able to live on my own. I have been around dogs my whole life, and I have cared for my friends dogs when they needed sitters. I am currently a dog dad to my four year old Australian Cattle dog, and if there's one thing I can tell you about him is that he has taught me everything I need to know to train, house, and communicate with dogs of all breeds. Your dog will be treated with the upmost respect while in my care and will enjoy their stay with me and Yoki. You pups will fit right into the routine of things. I currently own two dogs and I am able to accommodate them both time wise I treat all animals as if they are my own, giving them the same love, attention, and respect I would offer a pet of my own. I naturally gravitate toward animals, and they seem to be drawn to me as well. I believe in building trust through patience, gentle care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs and personality. Whether it's providing food, comfort, exercise, or companionship, I am committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Kiara & Yves, did such an amazing job with my little kitty. She was so well cared for and the sitter was super responsive sending many nice updates and photos of Lottie. I would recommend their services to anyone who was looking for a sitter!”

“Michelle's kind and caring demeanor was such a great fit for our senior dog! She is the kind of dog sitter we've always dreamed of! I so appreciated the photo updates while we were away. I would gladly use Michelle's services again in the future!”

“Charlette and her family took such great care of our little baby. She sent several updates and pictures all day. Because of her great care I was able to visit family with no worries about our fur baby. Thank you so much for everything you did for me!!! I will definitely use again if in the area in the future.”

“My dog Joey stayed with Mindy again this year during our annual Buffalo Christmas trip to visit friends. Mindy was again very communicative and gave regular updates on Joey‘s well-being and snapshots of playtime with friends. Thanks again Mindy for being a great host to our boy!”

“Amanda was very nice and accommodating. I booked with her last minute and Amanda responded quickly! She gave me plenty of updates and photos throughout my dogs stay which made me feel a lot more comfortable about leaving her.”

“This was my first time ever boarding Winnie and Monica put me so at ease with leaving him in her care. She even spent extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with hers before I booked an overnight and she kept me informed on how he was doing with texts, photos and video. I would not hesitate to book a stay with her again!”

“Alexis always does an amazing job with Jet. I've dropped him off at many boarding places but dropping him off with Alexis is the only time I've seen him excited to go! She's been very accommodating and I greatly appreciate the pictures she sends me while Jet is in her care.”

“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”

“Valerie took great care of our labradoodle who was very comfortable, and at ease within minutes during our meet n greet. :) Such a relief to know we have a caring, experienced and trustworthy person nearby. Thanks Valerie!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping neighbours, friends, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care is naturally part of my routine. I can set aside time each day for feeding, walks, and play to ensure pets stay healthy, active, and well cared for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
About: We’ve had dogs our whole lives, from puppies to seniors, and always treated them as part of our family. We’ve had many different breeds and all different sizes. We’ve always done basic training for their safety! I work from home so I’ll be with your pet all day! In the afternoons and evenings the rest of the family will be home to love on your dogs! We have a fully fenced backyard and a house set up to keep animals safe, comfortable, and happy. Your dog’s comfort and safety will be a priority!
“I loved the way they treated my dog... excellent communication, lots of photos, and status updates... it made me feel like my dog was safe... I absolutely loved it and will definitely hire their services again.”

“Lindsay was great, and very accommodating. Our dogs definitely had a good time and were treated very well. Lindsay did a wonderful job communicating and sent us the most adorably pathetic picture of our dane (he's a big baby). 10/10 would hire again.”

“I booked Beverly because I thought she would take good care of my Lola while I was away. And she did. She messaged me almost every day I was away and sent pictures! Lola had a good time and got along well with Bev’s dog, Daisy. An added “perk” is the fenced in back yard where I knew Lola could do her “zoomies” safely. I didn’t worry about Lola getting good care while I was away. I highly recommend Beverly and would book with her again.”

About: Hello, my name is Jennifer! I have been taking care of dogs and other small animals since I was a child. I had a couple dogs of my own, I have also taken care of bunnies, chinchillas, rats, and cats! I recently got my own dog who I love with all my heart! She is an 11 year old beagle named Matilda. I am very comfortable taking care of senior dogs, or helping out with any of your dogs medical needs. I promise to take care of and love your animal like they are my own 💗 Rover is currently my only employment. I have a lot of time available to walk, check in, or board certain animals. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animal. I promise to take care of & love your animal like they are my own 💗 For House Sitting Requests, I am available to stay during the day, and some of the evening, but unfortunately not overnights. I currently do not have an entirely fenced in yard, however I do have ample side walk space and a nice park across from my home where I walk my own dog on leash regualrly. I have a small home that I keep tidy and pet friendly - perfect for if you're looking for someone to board your small/medium sized dog for the weekend or longer.
“Annalisa was great and super responsive. My dog seemed to enjoy his stay as he wanted to keep playing rather than leave. We will definitely book again when we have a boarding need.”

Squaw Island dog parents share their Rover experiences
We feel so fortunate to have found Amanda. Our shy and anxious Dachshund had little experience being left with an unfamiliar person. Amanda’s calm and gentle demeanor was a great match for our dog. She was patient in allowing Luna time to warm up to her, which she eventually did. We highly recommend Amanda and will not hesitate to leave Luna in her care in the future!

I was spiraling when a "friend" dropped off a dog at my house and essentially abandoned her. I have cats and was not equipped to take care of her, so I had her boarded for the night. It was an emergency and Alexis was kind enough to accept her for the night until the afternoon until I could get her to the shelter. I will forever be grateful.

Cecilia & Amy and the kids were fantastic. As a husky owner it’s never easy to just leave your dog with just anyone. Huskies need to be understand. They tell you exactly what they need and want if you listen. As soon as I touched base I knew this was the perfect place for my Shia for 10 days. All of her favorite things: other husky friends and kids. I received frequent updates and she had a blast. I almost thought she wouldn’t want to come home. Highly recommend. I didn’t worry for a moment whether she’d escape or anything. All the right intake questions were asked. We will be repeat customers.

Kiara and Yves were absolutely amazing with our dog this past week! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. They were attentive, caring, and treated him like part of their family. We received regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will definitely be booking with Kiara and Yves again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!
My dogs, Misha and Boca, absolutely love Melissa. They get so excited every time they see her and she really goes above and beyond to make sure they’re taken care of and happy. She sends daily pictures and updates, so I don’t worry about them at all while I’m gone. She is our go-to dog sitter.
