“This was my first time using Rover, and, I am now a fan! Dana and her family were wonderful. I got videos, pictures, and updates while my dog, Doxie, was at her house. Doxie is very sweet, but, she is very powerful. That wasn't a problem. My dog got lots of outside time, and, she and Dana's dog became fast friends. I would have Dana watch Doxie again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking care of our girl!”
“Sandra and Lee are just awesome! We have left our two Yorkies with them a couple of times and each time my dogs come back calm, even more well-behaved than when I left them, and most of all safe and happy. One of my babies is very anxious and requires a lot of attention, reinforcement and love. The other one just loves to play, play, play! They handle them both with out any hiccups! Sandra remembers to send pictures and updates occasionally throughout our trips and asks me any questions if they arise as they go along. She's been able to give my pup medication, take them on long walks, socialize them and most of all cuddle them. I'm so grateful we found them, even last minute they were able to help! I highly recommend this super sweet team!”
“Carla was very accommodating to both me and my dog. She took great care of him and was able to work around my schedule for pick up and drop off.”
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”
“First time using Rover and super apprehensive… but Alexis made the experience of leaving my puppy behind super comforting. I was kept updated on Khloe and what she was doing. Comments throughout the day which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Alexis and will use her again and again.”
“This was an amazing experience! They took care of our fur babies and were really knowledgeable and good with our dogs immediately right at pickup. They sent photos and kept our minds at ease while we were away. Our dogs came back looking healthy and well fed. Definitely recommend, I will be rebooking in the future.”
“Chris did an awesome treating my dog as his own!! He never books more than 1 dog while sitting and my dog got a long great with his. He sent updates to keep my family at ease. I will definitely be using him in the future. THANKS AGAIN!!!”
“Allie was wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog. He went Trick or Treating and on rides in the car around the country roads. She treated him just like one of the family.”
“Michael and Tracy were wonderful, fun & patient pup sitters! We have 1 happy-go-lucky dog & 1 nervous-Nelly, and they cared for both very well! They communicated with us every day and sent lots of pictures. Best of all, we knew our pups were being treated like family while we were away. Thanks Michael & Tracy!”
“Siobhan was amazing and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Lavender’s stay. Her yard is fenced in and Lavender sure enjoyed getting to run around with her dogs. I’m pretty sure Siobhan even groomed Lavender’s paws for me!!!! Lavender has definitely found a home away from home when I’m traveling. Thanks a million!!! Lavender misses her pals already.”
“Jennifer was a great sitter and Dakotah took to her Right away. I didn't know that Jennifer has a baby and this was Dakotah '1st exposure with a baby and they also formed a nice connection. I would highly recommend Jennifer and will be booking with her in the future. The Rover service fee's are pricey. That's one huge drawback, but i had a positive experience with my sitter Have a great day and thank you again kindly Jennifer.”
“We used Morgan, and actually Rover.com, for the first time. My husband dropped off Laska (our hound mix rescue dog), and noticed that she seemed happy to go with Morgan. For us, this is a big deal because she's been through a lot. When we used the kennel Laska would fight us going in, and would come home stressed out and completely out of it. This was not the case after picking up Laska from Morgan's. Laska was clean, happy, and not stressed out! This was a first for her! Laska did have some separation anxiety, so she chewed her bed up. That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”
“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“we had a great experience with Sara watching our dog with an overnight stay. She sent pictures to us and kept us informed. She promptly replied to our questions.”
“Great like always! We can always count on her and it’s one less thing to worry about when going away. She provides updates and treats Rocky like her own ❤️”
“Jake and Mischa were a dream; we had to find help last minute after our regular sitter moved away and were really anxious about leaving our Standard Poodle with strangers since she can be needy. But they were incredibly understanding and kept us calm with updates during her stay and gave her the attention she needed. Our poodle ran right up to Mischa during our consultation even though she's typically wary of strangers, and was practically making out with Jake by the time we got her. Plus their back yard has been turned into a dog oasis specifically designed for pup adventures. Dog people through and through!”
“Catherine & Daniel were great with our dog when we left her with them for a week. they communicated with us regarding a situation that arose which they handled. they gave her daily medication which she needed & took her on walks.”
“Lindsay and Ali took wonderful care of of our extremely nervous dog, Chance. Lindsay was kind and caring with Chance. We received several communications, texted every day and with photos as well. During his stay, Chance made friends with their two gentle dogs and even with the two kitties. I was thrilled as Chance had never spent time with cats before and it was very comforting to see Chance snuggled up next to their dog, Agnes. Lindsay and Ali were even able to give Chance all of his medications every day. Best dog sitters, hands down! Thank you so much! <3 We would love to have Chance come back again!”
About: I am a true animal lover and I would treat your animals as my own. I have lots of pet care experience from having my own of 2 cats and 1 dog and taking care of some friends. I have done 2 years of pet therapy with my own dog and completed basic to advanced dog training. I have volunteered for father john animal house and eleventh hour rescue to get some shelter experience and more dog exposure. I would prefer to work with small to medium dog size. My second hobby is animal training which is a rewarding experience to me from dog socialization to learning basic commands. I just love working with dogs and is rewarding in seeing the dog learned the command. As i like to walk daily, pets fit into my daily schedule perfectly. Our daily morning schedule usually 7 days a week is potty upon awakening, breakfast and playtime upon first hour. Then a morning walk and another one around dinner time. I have a unfenced yard but believe exercise is a high requirement for the dog. What i do in place is 2 daily neighborhood walks and take her occasionally to local parks to walk around for different smells and meet other friendly dogs. Also believe in going to any local dog events for shelters to give dog interactions/ socialization.
