“Amazing sitter! She took our two dogs into her home and treated them as if they were her own. She sent videos and photos daily. She was just amazing! I will only use her!”
“First time using Rover with our Dog. Allan did a great job watching our dog. He provide updates daily with pictures and was very responsive to messages. Would highly recommend and would definitely have Allan watch our Dog again. Thanks Allan!”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”

About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and safe, supervised play time. I follow feeding instructions exactly, keep water fresh, and maintain clean food and water bowls. I also watch for behavior or appetite changes and communicate anything important right away. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I take time to build trust so dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether a dog is high-energy or laid-back, I adjust my approach to match their personality. As an active duty Army service member and lifelong dog owner since age 15, I bring reliability, structure, and genuine care to every pet I look after. I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless! I provide a safe, structured, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like family. Pets in my care are allowed to comfortably roam the home and are not kept in a crate all day. I have an American Bully in the home who is friendly and fully up to date on all vaccinations. All dogs are kept on leash during outdoor time for safety. I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.
“Barb and her family went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home, and she sent daily photo updates. Communication was excellent and timely. I will definitely be requesting Barb again next time we leave town.”
“I can't recommend Paige enough as a dog watcher! She took exceptional care of my two dogs for a week, and I could tell they were in great hands from the moment I met her. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, which gave me peace of mind during my time away. She kept me updated with daily photos and texts, showing me how my dogs were doing and even sharing some funny moments. She took the time to learn their routines, ensuring they felt comfortable and at ease. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I returned, and it was clear they had enjoyed their time with her.”
“Penny was fantastic with my pup! It was such a gift to find her and know he was in good hands when we were out of town. My puppy is a challenging, high energy guy, who could not stay just anywhere. Penny has so much knowledge and provided an enriching environment for him with new experiences. She even spent time training him, including new cues like having him lay down on his bed. I received daily updates and photos from Penny and will surely use her again if needed!!”
“Janelle was amazing with our guy Oscar. We had to find someone last minute, as the person we had needed to back out. She took very good care of him and gave us daily updates as well as pics. She is a lover of all animals and it shows by the way she interacts with them. I will definitely be asking her to watch Oscar the next time we need someone and will recommend her to all of our family and friends!!”
“sandy was fantastic per usual! my pup always gets so excited to see sandy and it makes my heart so happy! i feel good leaving my pup in sandy’s care because i know she’s going to be well loved & cared for in my absence. thank you for being awesome sandy and for loving on naga!”
“I cannot say enough about the amazing care my puppy had with Elisabeth. We were very nervous to leave our 4 month d puppy, but she put all our fears to rest. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. Thank you again!!”
“Debra was awesome! She was well over expectations for giving updates and she even sent a video! I could tell she took very good care of my puppy and even baked a puppy food cake for her birthday! Highly recommend her.”
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“Celene was fantastic! She’s easy going and flexible with the pick up and drop off. She loves dogs and took such great care of Vinnie. We received multiple updates a day with photos. Vinnie got along with Penny really well. Would recommend and use her again!”
“Logan and Ellie were great pup sitters! They were available last minute and accommodated my pup more than I could ever ask for. They treated my baby girl like she was family. Great communication and even sent multiple pictures. Highly recommend! Will be using their services again.”
“Zemo loves his stays with Edgar & friends! He always comes back tired from all the play time. Edgar is fast to respond, and friendly at pickup and drop-off. Anything I bring with Zemo is always neatly packed back into the bag it was brought in. Zemo himself seems well-cared for and happy at pickup, and looks calm and happy in any photos sent during the stay.”
Sylvania dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julie and Rick are amazing. They took such good care of our 2 pit bulls. Our girl was very anxious and really didn’t want us to leave, and our boy is in an old man and prone to accidents at night. They actually slept with our babies to keep them calm. They sent updates and pics to let us know how they were doing the whole time. I couldn’t be happier!
Our Sheba is almost 6 years old and has never stayed away from home so we were a little worried about leaving her. Prior to booking, we went over and met Zuri, her husband, and their two dogs to see if it would be a good fit and it was! They did a FANTASTIC job of taking care of Sheba. She gave daily updates with pictures and videos. The only worry we had was that she was not eating but that is normal for a dog with a little separation anxiety. Zuri gets 5 stars from me and we will definitely use her again when we have to leave town.
I cannot recommend Prakash highly enough for his outstanding dog sitting services during our Labor Day weekend getaway. Over the course of three days, Prakash demonstrated the very qualities that distinguish an exceptional pet caregiver from merely adequate ones. From the outset, Prakash went well above and beyond our expectations by offering to handle both pickup and drop-off services – a thoughtful gesture that eliminated any stress about transportation logistics and showed his genuine commitment to convenience and service excellence. This level of consideration immediately set the tone for what would prove to be exemplary care. Throughout the weekend, it was evident that our dogs were in the hands of someone who possesses that rare combination of natural affinity with animals and professional reliability. Prakash displayed remarkable attentiveness to our pets' individual needs and personalities, ensuring they felt comfortable and secure in his care. His patience and gentle demeanor clearly resonated with our dogs, who returned home relaxed and content – always the ultimate testament to quality care. What particularly impressed me was Prakash's reliability and trustworthiness. He maintained excellent communication regarding scheduling and demonstrated the kind of responsibility that allows pet owners to truly relax during their time away. His punctuality and professional approach reflect someone who takes his commitment to both pets and their families seriously. The only area where I see room for enhancement would be in the frequency and detail of photo updates during care periods. While the dogs were clearly well-supervised and happy, more frequent visual check-ins would provide additional peace of mind for anxious pet parents. Prakash embodies the qualities every pet owner hopes to find: genuine love for animals, dependable character, flexibility in accommodating special requests, and that intuitive understanding of what makes each dog feel safe and loved. He treated our beloved companions as if they were his own, and that caring approach made all the difference. I would not hesitate to book Prakash again for future pet sitting needs and recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a dedicated, trustworthy caregiver for their furry family members.
