“Katherine and family is amazing with my pup, Aspen. The communication is great. My pup gets great care, and so much love. It makes going away easy. This last visit, they even gave Aspen a toy to bring home 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Katherine and family.”


“I was apprehensive leaving my rescue dog for the very first time in the nearly one year we've been together, but Phyllis and Greg were absolutely wonderful hosts and made the entire experience stress-free. They were warm and friendly and provided a calm environment. Great communication. They'll be my dog's new home-away-from-home.”


“It was my first time using rover and they made it a great experience. Excellent communication! From answering questions to walking me through making a booking request the day before watching my doggo. Whenever I visit Chicago again and need a dog sitter; Susan will be my go to choice.”


“Emily was great watching Eleanor while I was out of town. She was a great communicator, was super flexible when I had to change plans, and I know Eleanor had a great time with her!”


“Susseth surpassed our expectations. From the time we booked her she was on top of everything, when we dropped off Honey she made her feel loved and very comfortable. We received a text or video of honey throughout her stay with Susseth. I will definitely book her again, and I suggest you guys do the same. Thank you Susseth”


“Sarah was a great sitter who made my pup feel right at home. She has a great outdoor space and Mesa was very welcoming. Will definitely rebook and highly recommend Sarah.”


“Blanca was great! She would send me daily updates and photos of my pup Zorro. I absolutely recommend Blanca and will be using her again. My dog was happy and healthy in her care and she made me feel at ease leaving him with her.”


“Great experience! Jenny was very responsive and communicated frequently. I like that she only watches one dog at a time so our pup got her full attention. Bailey was well cared for during her stay and enjoyed her time with Jenny! Highly recommend and we would book again!”


“Michelle and family took great care of Penny- even coming up with new tasty food items for my picky girl. I really appreciate how well she is taken care of which allows me to have peace of mind while away”


“Dezmond was great, he made sure to provide frequent updates/pictures and was flexible with scheduling. Appa was excited for his visit and enjoyed his stay with Dezmond. We will definitely come back.”


“Very happy with Lisette. She responded very quickly and always sent an update everyday with a picture. I will definitely use her in the future! Thanks Lisette for taking good care of my Chewie!”


“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”


“What a great stay! Malchom and family were so wonderful. Super communicative, sent lots of pictures. It was clear our dog was having a great time. Couldn’t have asked for a better fit!”


“Elisa was great and flexible with my pup. It was super nice to have her pick him up and drop him off. He had a great time and loved getting to hang with her family!”


“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”


About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm unavailable Monday through Friday between 10pm and 3am. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am also available on most weekends and holidays. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a very large, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

“Luna tends to be scared of new people but she seemed to have such a good time! Happy with the care she received and was glad to have picture and video updates daily!”

Summit pet parents share their Rover experiences
So grateful for Tamara (and Maggie 🐾) giving Wiggles such a warm welcome, loving home, super fun runs around the glorious backyard, love and pets that Wiggles craves. Wiggles is a sweet but nervous girl, and I’m grateful to have a loving home nearby for when we have to go out of town without her. Tamara was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in how to make sure Wiggles had everything she needed for a wonderful week. 💖

Mary watched my 2 retrievers for 5 days and nights in her home. They had met at a meet n greet. When we arrived to drop them off, they were so happy to see her. She had plenty of dog toys in addition to those we brought. She took them for walks and had a nice big yard for them to ride around in. Mary updated me with pics and notes daily. When I picked the pups up, they were happy and healthy. We will definitely seek her out for future dog-sitting needs.

Coren was great with Piper. He asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to make sure he understood Piper's needs. When I picked up Piper from her stay, she seemed in great spirits. I feel like Coren treated Piper like his own. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

I can’t say enough about Sarai. She’s easily the best sitter I’ve ever had. I had a nightmare sitter I found here on rover and I was worried leaving my babies with another sitter using this service but Sarai reassured me and she delivered. She always gave me updates and my babies looked really happy and calm with her. I’m sure they’ll miss her.
