“Melissa accommodated us for a last minute boarding situation and was very pleasant. And Yoshi seemed happy after the visit so all in all a good experience. Thanks Melissa!”

“Kenai loved his stay with Mindy! Kenai is nervous around new people and she was so patient and kind with him. I’m also a nervous mom leaving her pup and I wasn’t worried at all. Mindy kept me posted with lots of pics and videos and it kept my mind at ease. We will be staying with Mindy again!”

“This was the first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Michelle is an AMAZING sitter! I was nervous at first, but Michelle put me at ease- she is kind, attentive, caring and took wonderful care of Bear. I absolutely loved the updates and the pictures. Communication was fantastic and I am beyond grateful for Michelle.”

“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!”

“Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!”

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.

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!
“Annalisa is amazing! She watched two dogs for us, one of which was a puppy in heat, and she was absolutely fantastic. She even changed and washed her diaper multiple times! Annalisa was also incredibly flexible with scheduling, which really separates her from the pack. She has a true passion for dogs, and it's wonderful to be able to leave your furry friends with someone you can trust. We will absolutely be using her for all of our future dog-watching needs!”

“I was nervous with this being Hercules first time at a sitter that wasn’t family. But we had a introduction a few weeks prior and I realized I had nothing to be nervous about!! Hercules had great time at Beverly’s. Beverly and her husband were wonderful, and Hercules loved them both! We received many updates, and pictures throughout his stay. Highly recommend Beverly. We will definitely book again with her.”

“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!”

“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.”

“First time in this app and Im so thankful. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luna for 7 days. I will definitely trust you with her in the future. Luna send lots of love to all of you .”

“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”

Starin Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.

Kenai loved his stay with Mindy! Kenai is nervous around new people and she was so patient and kind with him. I’m also a nervous mom leaving her pup and I wasn’t worried at all. Mindy kept me posted with lots of pics and videos and it kept my mind at ease. We will be staying with Mindy again!

Amanda was such a lifesaver for our family this past weekend. We had a death in the family and had to leave town rather urgently and Amanda responded so quickly and was immediately available to take care of our little Yorkie. She kept us up to date with photos all weekend and we felt very comfortable with Cooper staying with Amanda and her daughter. Thank you again Amanda!
I would recommend Beth for her in-home sitting services. Beth welcomed our dog into her home with short notice, and was very kind and attentive to his needs. Communicative with photos and videos for the duration. Great set up for a dog with separation anxiety, like mine, or who needs to be watched as an only pet.

✨ f a n t a s t i c ✨ genuinely cannot recommend their services strongly enough. at no point was i left wondering how my dog was doing as i received frequent photo (and even video!!!) updates. super communicative, informed, cognizant of my dog’s needs, and above all very kind. my partner and i love the idea of not having to worry anytime we want to go on vacation, as akeira and brooke went above and beyond 😭💛

Lori was amazing for our very anxious 10 year old Carly. I was able to make a last minute booking with her due to another sitter cancelling. As soon as I messaged her she responded right away and offered to stop by that night to come meet Carly. She was incredibly inviting and sweet. Carly immediately loved her. She sent updates and pictures of Carly throughout the night. We will absolutely be rebooking with Lori.

Linda was wonderful with Tanner! Communication was excellent—updates and pictures kept me reassured throughout the stay. My pup came home happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved. The house was left tidy, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and safe. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter.

Katie was absolutely fantastic with our dog Peggy. Upon arrival at our meet and greet, we were immediately comfortable with leaving Peg with her. Katie's communication was fantastic, she was flexible with drop-off and pick-up based on our flight pattern, and Peggy was incredibly happy and healthy when we returned. We couldn't ask for a better Rover, and will definitely be booking with Katie again in the future!
