“Our dog Maui is very picky but he instantly became best friends with Nicole! I almost felt bad picking him up because he had so much fun during his weekend stay! The updates were amazing and she truly cares about your fur baby. 10/10 would recommend Nicole for your fur baby any day.”
“Hermun always responds immediately and is so nice, easygoing, and accommodating. Her dog Riley is very sweet and well-behaved and it's nice my dog has a little playmate during her care. Thank you, Hermun!”
About: I began dog walking for my neighbors at 8 years old and helped take care of my family’s french bulldog throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Given her high care needs, I have experience in caring for senior dogs and am able to give them medication. I have pets-sat for families with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Growing up I also had a hamster and guinea pigs of my own! I love doing the “Doggy Day Out” at my local shelter where I get to care for a shelter dog for the day and would love to give your furry friend that same experience. I’m currently working a part-time job and am a full time college student. During the school year, I have classes Mon-Thurs in the morning and for the summer I am completely available to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and would love to care for your pup! I will take them for a walk and play with them, treating them as if they are my own dogs.
“Eileen took such good care of my schnauzer! This was the first time I’ve left my pup with someone he doesn’t know and I have no doubt she treated him with such good care. She sent me multiple updates a day with how he was doing and pictures which warmed my heart and eased my mind. I will definitely be using Eileen again next time I need a sitter for my pup!”
“Kiran was wonderful. She is very communicative and makes sure that she has all of the needs for your little loved one. Plenty of pictures. Toby was very happy. Will use again. Thanks”
“Joshua was on the ball from inquiry to pick up. Excellent communication and care of our 13yo golden doodle. Their dog is a sweetie and Rosie loved the company. We're already rebooking! Thanks for taking such great care and giving Rosie the best possible experience away from us!”
“Tucker had an amazing time while staying with Margarita and Carissa. We are pretty sure that he had as good vacation as we did. Their son was Tucker‘s best playmate. We would highly recommend Margarita and Clarissa for anyone in the area needing a safe and loving home for their pet. Thank you again for the love and care.❤️. Bonus, they have an amazing backyard!”
“Maxine took wonderful care of our two pups! She sent daily photos and videos and they had a blast with her. I can tell they were well taken care of and super happy. Highly recommend!”
“This is the first time I leave my baby dogs with them, I was very nervous that changing nanny is not easy, about to start to know everything about my dogs and more because they are 2 🐶🐶dogs, but I am very happy with the patience and hearing from Elena & Meiru, her love and dedication to my children🐷🐷, very grateful and we will come back of course! Thank you very much🩷🙏”
“Virginia was a WONDERFUL sitter—if I could give more than 5 stars I would! ⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, but won’t be my last! I expressed my anxieties of being away from Bij on a work trip, and she eased them all. I got regular and often updates—she truly treated and loved Bij as if he were her own. And her fur baby is just as precious—Cozy and Bijou became best friends! From letting him sleep in a bigger bed, to sharing all Cozy’s toys, to regular walks and playing all the fetch he could handle—Bijou was on a vacation! Virginia is kind and communicative, and I will happily be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Evgenia and her adorable daughter gave our little beagle so much love & care! Their attention to detail & communication was top-notch and I would highly recommend them!!! A+ service from start to finish!”
“CeCe was awesome! She sent us photos and. Videos during our pets time with her! She loves what she does! Her and my wife are both teachers and really hit it off! We actually booked her again a week later while celebrating our honeymoon. Your pets are in good hands! Book her Now!”
“We first did a meet and greet with Rachel and her dog, Zeplin. The dogs were just fine together. I would definitley board again with Rachel. She was communicative and sent pictures of my dog doing just fine every day. She even worked with me on my pick up schedule since my flight was late getting back into town. Very nice!!”
“I was very pleased with Haley's care of Mika. When I left her, she was having a bout of collapsed trachea and coughing a lot, so I was a bit worried. Haley administered her medicine, and she hasn't coughed once since I brought her home. Besides that, Haley was very business-like about the details of having Mika and her stuff ready at the time I was to pick her up. I especially appreciated the photos and updates.”
“Matt was amazing!! Took great care of our baby and was so flexible with us needing 2 extra days due to the hurricane that closed the airport. We highly recommend him for your next boarding experience and will definitely use him again?”
“Perfect! Very communicative, send updates and pictures everyday and perfect location, our dog had separation anxiety at the beginning but she managed to calm her down. Highly recommend”
“The host id an amazing job with Okoye. Big back yard. Location was easy to get to. Sent pics and updates to let me know how my guy was doing. I would recommend her again and again.”
“Our first experience with our dachshund Gertrude has been tremendously successful. Gertrude was well cared for and happy ... Kristin's little "shadow" for a week. We look forward to an upcoming stay scheduled for August. We are happy to give Kristin glowing recommendation!”

Thanks to Hermun for taking great care of my beagle, Buddy. She communicated well and sent many updates and photos. It was my first time using Rover but Hermun made it easy to feel comfortable leaving. And Buddy loved having another beagle to play with. Would book with her again.
I have an overly affectionate Bernedoodle that could easily be too much for some people but Emily was so good with her. She gave me regular updates and even some solid feedback about how we might make overnights go even smoother. Our dogs are like our children so it’s important to find someone that you trust. I highly suggest you consider Emily for your dogs care
