“AMAZING!!! We had already scheduled a vacation and I was a bit apprehensive leaving a small puppy but Felisha was absolutely wonderful ?. She sent frequent pictures and updates to keep me from worrying. Ginger has a great time in a home setting that kept her “potty training” on track. I will definitely recommend her and use her again. ?”

“Amanda did great caring for my dog for 13 days, despite the few issues he had while there, she handled everything great. Will be using again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Winston came home a happy dog! He was well cared for. They loved all of his quirky habits. Having him stay at a place where he was comfortable allowed us to have more fun on our vacation.”

“Kathy was outstanding with our pup, Cali. She provided daily updates and pictures making us feel very comfortable while being away. Will use Kathy again in the future, highly recommend!”

“Ash is an AMAZING sitter! The second I dropped my girl off I knew should would be ok. He is kind, responsive, communicative, and clearly loves each dog as if it is his own. Thanks to Ash, I was able to enjoy a little vacation without worrying one second about my little girl. 10/10 will hire again!”

“Ling is the best! This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and he had a great time. Ling sent lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely book with her again.”

About: Erica and I have always loved & had dogs in our homes ever since we were kids. They were family, & we look forward to treating yours like family too. We have a very flexible with my schedule. We enjoy playing nerf dog, frisbie and fetch with the dogs during the day, and spending restful quiet time with them during the evenings. We have a nice sized fenced in backyard for them to play in, as well as a nice indoor sunroom that I have turned into a doggy indoor play area.
“Brenda is awesome. We were hesitant to leave our Millie for so long but Brenda made us feel comfortable right away. She and her hubby took great care of her. Millie gets along well with her dog, too.”

About: I am a Michigan transplant and an animal person with years of experience, including as petsitter, aquarist, veterinarian technician, field scientist, and farmer. I’ve worked with all creatures great and small, and am uniquely qualified to take care of your fish tank, farm animals, and exotic pets. I am also an avid organic gardener and I love to grow my own food. I own a quaint cottage home with a fully fenced yard. All animals are allowed on the furniture so that they can indulge in the comfort they deserve. I love taking quirky puppy pics in beautiful places while on hikes and adventures. Playing is a great way to establish trust and blow off steam, and I try to capture that on camera as much as possible. I am an outdoor enthusiasts, and when I lived out West I regularly offered "adventure" packages for dogs who benefitted from extended hikes. My own dog Velma is famous on the lake for being my paddleboard companion! I would love the opportunity to work with elderly or disabled animals, and am competent administering medications. It would be my pleasure to get to know your dog, cat, chicken, shrimp, goat, bird, hamster, and any other critters in your family! Feel free to contact me for references and resume. Animal - and seasonally, garden - services are my fulltime occupation, so the care of your furry family member is my top priority. Because I work for myself, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate my clients' needs. When staying at a client's home, my practice is to leave it cleaner than when I arrived. I value my clients' trust as one of my greatest assets, and can ensure that your home and property will be respected at all times.
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”

“Chhaya and her family are amazing! Our dog, Mason, absolutely loved his time there. Chhaya sent a lot of pictures which showed how much they spoiled and loved Mason. They threw the ball, cuddled him, and let him sleep on the bed. All of his favorite things! Thank you, Chhaya! I will definitely book again.”

“Thank you so much for keeping our baby Xena this past weekend. She had a great time being outside which we do not get to do that often. Constant pictures were a great plus.”

“I would totally recommend having Sogol as a dog sitter. I had zero worries having her dog sit my dog. She took very well care of Coco, and I would totally use her as a dog sitter again. She would send pictures and videos very frequently, which caused less worry for my trip. She took very excellent care for my dog and I was very satisfied as Coco also loved her lots.”


“She was absolutely amazing! I’m so happy to have someone like her in the neighborhood. She sent me lots of photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Seeing how relaxed and happy my dog looked, I could tell she treated her like family. I would definitely love to ask her again next time!”

“Laura let me book last minute and has been so flexible with my unpredictable work schedule — I truly appreciate her! She does a great job making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home, and she reassures me with updates throughout the day, which means a lot. I honestly think my dog gets triple the attention and exercise when she’s boarded with Laura. Jersey always comes home super tired and content! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Archie loved his stay with Thea! I sent a request on a short notice but Thea was very nice and accepted to watch our dog. She sent us cute pictures and updated us on how Archie was doing. He had a blast I know it! Thank you Thea! I will be sure to book again once we need another sitter! I definitely recommend Thea! :) :)”

“Another great experience with Rover.com Jenny and her family were just what I was hoping for. Jenny and her daughter showed their caring nature for dogs immediately. Jenny is super organized, her house and yard are well suited for dog care. Her own dog, a Boston Terrier, was a cutie and got along fine with my girls. Communication with Jenny was easy, she carried through with everything she and I discussed. She was prepared if there was an emergency, she followed my feeding instructions and sent me pictures throughout the stay. The pictures showed my dogs were very comfortable during their stay, playing, going on walks, and sleeping.”

Sylvan Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.

I had a wonderful experience! Cali can be a little anxious and takes time to warm up but she was so well cared for and loved while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind and it was clear Cali was comfortable and happy. I truly appreciated the patience, attention, and care that was given to her. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!

Angel was amazing and she took really great care for my dog, Coco. I had zero worries for him while I was gone because I knew that she would take good care! She gives a perfect amount of updates about how Coco was doing and she was extremely kind. You can absolutely trust her !
