“Jessica took fantastic care of my girl - I was able to leave knowing she was in good hands and getting all the love and care she needed! So grateful to her whole family for caring for my baby. ?”


“Jody was amazing with Pepper! She treated her as if she was her own pet the two weeks that we were away. We will definitely ask Jody and her family to watch Pepper the next time we take a vacation. Thanks again, Jody!”


“Julie is the best sitter ever! Extremely accommodating for any schedule and takes such great care of animals. My puppy chewed through her collar and she gave me one to keep, as well as extra food to help with her stomach issues. She is awesome!!”


About: I've had a fur baby in my arms since I was a child. Not only did I raise my own, but I've kept my friends, my co-workers and my son's dogs while they were out of town, for a day, a week and sometimes longer. I cared for my son's senior boy while he worked, and then he brought the newest baby to me everyday she when she was a puppy, so she wasn't home alone and I could potty train her with love. I raised our German shepherd with my sons from the time she and my youngest were both just 8 weeks old. When Libby was almost 18 yo we had to have our vet assist her in crossing the rainbow bridge. From there I got my first tiny dog, a little boy named Dexter, Chihuahua 6.6 lbs, and then shortly after I got Danika, Chihuahua 5.5 lbs. They went everywhere with me, vacations, nail salon, shopping. They had a purse they loved to jump right in and 2 booster seats so they were secured safely in my car. I lost Dexter to heart disease at 14 yo and poor little Danika was lost without him. I adopted Lucylle, Chihuahua 6 lbs, she was 2 yo. She was left at the vet by her previous family, that never came back to get her. She was very aggressive towards everyone in the beginning and it took me 3 months of patience and love to bring her out of it. By that time her and Danika were best friends, and loving companions, of course they went everywhere with me. We lost Danika just few months ago, she was 16 yo. That's when I decided to start my journey with Rover, to bring some added joy into mine and Lucylle's life and give other fur babies a safe and loving place to visit when family were away. I retired 04-2024, Lucylle and I have plenty of time on our hands. I bought a patio home, with a nice fenced back yard, where I sit in the morning or anytime during the day/evening and watch Lucylle go out and do her business or just play. We take walks around the neighborhood or down at the walking trail. My neighbors are also dog lovers, they just love little Lucylle. I have a fenced back yard for them to play in with my girl, and I keep a watchful eye on them when they are outside. I can crate your baby if needed, as I do my own sometimes. I have little beds and/or a blanket for them to snuggle when they are napping. Being retired gives me plenty of time for your fur baby (and mine). Caring, playing and loving them as if they were my own.


“Scout had a wonderful stay here! The yard and dog companion(s) was just what he needed and wanted. He came home happy and tired from all his fun times there! Don’t hesitate to send your dog this way. She even gave him a bath before sending him back home with us!”


“Our dog Remy (1.5 year Shetland Sheepdog) had an overnight stay with Sandra. She took very good care of him and we believe he enjoyed his stay and her very large fenced in back yard. Sandra sent us delightful pictures and videos of Remy while we were away and this gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. Sandra was responsive to our requests and communication was good. We are likely to board with Sandra again.”


“Thank you so much for taking great care of my baby while I was away! I will definitely reach back out if I'm in need of a sitter again. It was nice not having to worry about him my entire trip. Loved the pictures and updates! Thanks again for giving him so much attention and loving!”


“This was the first time we had our dogs board at a Rover sitter's house. Allison was great! We got regular updates about all of the fun they were having. She gave us great piece of mind, and we will definitely book with her in the future.”


“I have used Rover all over the country due to my work demand and she is absolutely the best one I have used for a long stay. She was very communicative throughout my pup’s stay. We didn’t have a meet and greet ahead of time so she slowly introduced each of her dogs to mine one by one, in which I appreciated, on the day of drop off. She cares about her animals and is in tune to all of their needs and personalities. She is 40 min out of my way and I will definitely drive out to her again!”


“I CANNOT say enough good things about both Rick and his fiancé Annemarie! They were God-sent ANGELS for our wedding weekend! We were out of town - all of us were - and really needed someone who could keep Millie for us. Even though they stayed a half hour away, they were above-and-beyond accommodating, staying flexible with our schedule as things changed on our end. They came and picked her up from us, brought her back for rehearsal the same day so my nephew could practice walking her down the aisle, took her back home. They sent me pictures of her and their dog Buckley all throughout the weekend and she looked like she was having fun, getting good sleep and was comfortable. When Annemarie brought Millie to my wedding, she came dressed up to blend in with the other guests and I never heard Millie bark the whole time. She stayed around in the hot heat for pictures so Millie could be in a few pictures with us before taking her back to their home. Finally, they kept her through an extra day for us so we could have a little breather time before we had to pack everything up at our hotel room and head back home. We could not have made it through our wedding weekend without Annemarie and Rick's help. All of their story-sharing about what Millie was up to with Buckley all weekend was so nice to see intermittently as we were busy buzzing about doing our wedding activities. We are so GRATEFUL for everything they did and it's clear Millie was well taken care of and comfortable because she was so calm and relaxed when Rick returned her to us! Truly extra sweet! Thanks again for everything!”

“Renee did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures of them playing and having fun. I think one of our dogs is actually disappointed that we came back because he was having so much fun playing with the other dogs at Renee's house.”


“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, kept both of our dogs! They were out all weekend to the lakes! Kept me updated with pics and videos and anytime I checked in on them she made sure to update me!! We will definitely be using her!”


“Our boy was well taken care of. Thank you.”


“The setup and care Thor received was outstanding! Will definitely use Susan again! She sent pictures and updates frequently. He looked happy in the pictures. No concerns or issues at all.”


“Would recommend Katie to ANYONE! You can leave your furry friend knowing she will be treated like part of her family! Will continue to use her for all pet sitting needs!”

Faye J.
“I am personally, a snob of sorts. I rarely find anyone...friends, vets, petsitters, etc that live up to my standards of how pets should be cared for. I am the friend that is silently (but sometimes quite loudly, too) judging you for the way you care for your pets. It's just who I am. Yes, I'm the person that treats animals just as lovingly as I do other humans. That being said, I have nothing but major kudos when it comes to Lynn. Yes, her name is Faye, but we call her Lynn. She treats her dog better than most people treat their own children. So yes, her heart is in it. Secondly, she is aware of acute changes and acts accordingly. Things that other pet owners may miss, she's vigilant about noticing. Increased respirations? She'll notice. Different looking poop? She'll notice. So yes, she's a smart cookie because it's important to her. I would not hesitate to leave any of my own crew in her care. I would not hesitate to have her in my home caring for them or for her to have my crew (albeit, a large one) stay with her in her home. That kind of trust can make a vacation so much more enjoyable. Some of my friends have had the absolute worse tragedies while on vacation. I would feel so secure having her watch over my precious little ones. Highly, highly recommended!”

Aidan B.
“I honestly think of Aidan as the most attentive pet owner I have seen so far. When he took his dog (Bella) from the street he found her in, she was a terrified, anxious, small pup that was wary of people around her. Now, she's joyfully playing with everyone she meets. She even became comfortable with exploring new enviroments under his constant care. The development of their friendship was a beautiful thing to witness and to me that alone is a proof that he knows how to properly love and care for his pets.”


Allison C.
“Allie recently watched our family dog while I was away on vacation and it was a great experience for both. She made the dog feel at ease while we were away with daily walks and with our permission, a couple long walks at a nearby park. Upon our return, both our little dog and Allie were sad to part ways. Allie was ready to keep her another week if we would have let her. She is great with pets (dogs and cats) in showing plenty of love and affection and if needed, a reasonable amount of discipline to ensure no bad habits are gained. I recommend her with no hesitation.”
