“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”


“Nathan & Jenna are amazing hosts. Kora was not over excited during her stay but is missing her host & friends when back home. Nathan was sharing frequent videos for Kora daily and also, picked/dropped her off.”


“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”


“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”


“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”



“Mark and Vicky thank you! I always love the updates and pictures you send of Liberty while she’s with you. I know she’s loved and in the best care with you both.”


“Tyler kept good care of Scout when I had to go out of town. Scout doesn't care for stairs and Tyler was very patient with him. Tyler was the only sitter I reached out to that replied. I would not hesitate to have Tyler watch Scout again.”



“Mark and Betty are the sweetest people you will ever know! Our Riley spent three nights with them and fit right in along with their fur baby Finley! We will definitely bring Riley back if ever in need again!”


“Jenna and her family were AMAZING caring for Luna! I was nervous leaving her with a sitter and going out of the country but I knew she was in good hands with this family. I got daily picture and video updates and Luna was exhausted from playing by the time she got home! 10/10 would recommend :)”


“Anita, Ryan, and Fern are seriously the BEST petsitters one can ever ask for. Max (my now 10-month shiba inu) was so happy! He smells better than ever! Anita must be wiping him several times a day :) Also, he is very happy and has a shining coat! looks so healthy and happy.. what more can I ask for! This was the longest time away from my fur baby, more than 3 weeks! but he was in excellent hands! Thank you so much Anita, Ryan, and Fern!! (Fern is Max's stepsister he always wanted)”


“Hailey and Justin are so personable and absolute dog whisperers. We left our chiweenie while my wife and I are were at a concert at Blossom and we were able to relax knowing are girl was having a good time. They send pics too!”


“Pat was absolutely amazing for our pup! This was our first time using Rover and we truly feel we hit the jackpot. Pat was so loving and warm and made us feel we had nothing to worry about. She provided plenty of updates and top notch care for our pup. We will definitely use Pat again in the future!!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

“We went over seas for 14 days. Aimee kept great contact with us and sent us videos and pictures. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our fur babies with her and her husband. I highly recommend her as a trust with and caring sitter. We will use her again for several trips we have coming up in 2025. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you! 😊”


About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life! From family dogs, to extended family, we’ve had Lhasa apsis, shitzus, pit bulls, boxers, and many in between! I have a love for all animals and hope to some day open up my own dog day care / boarding facility! While I work full time, someone (whether it’s my fiancé or myself) someone will be home every 4 hours to check in and give potty breaks! Our schedules are pretty flexible and our pup keeps up on our toes so we’re always ready for anything. I have a fenced in yard, and 1 friend loving pup who is fully crate trained. While I understand crating doesn’t work for everyone, it works for our pup and family! We have multiple crates of all sizes in our home that are available for use if you need it! The pups will sleep upstairs with us, whether in a crate or on a dog bed. We also have a basement area designated for inside play and activity. They’ll always have an eye on them and will be treated like our own!

“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”


“I used Rover for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Carrie was better than I could have hoped for. She agreed to a quick meet prior to boarding to be sure everything would be a match. I instantly knew that she was a good person with a very nice family. I was able to travel for over a week without any worries and she sent photos regularly. Our pets are our family, so that feeling is priceless. She took care of my Teddy as if he was her own. Thank you Carrie and family for being such honest and caring people!”


“Madison was amazing with my dog! She took the extra time to earn her trust and calm any anxieties that she had. I will definitely be booking with Madison again in the future.”
