“My pets felt right at home at Kayla’s house. She took very good care of my babies. She provided a big cat condo for my cat, she provided pictures of my pets. My pets loved being there and felt very comfortable with her. I recommend Kayla to watch your pets! I will bring my pets back to her.”

“Lauren is the best dog sitter. She's very dedicated and responsible. She provides feedback on the pet's condition, photos and descriptions, and takes him for walks and plays. I would leave my dog with her again without hesitation. 100% recommended.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Ashleigh! We had a long term pet sitter that we LOVED and she retired last year and we were devastated thinking we’d never find someone as great to our pups as she was. But then we found Ashleigh and not only is she good to our pups who seem to have a better time at her house than at ours, but she’s good to US too! Her overwhelming kindness and willingness to help out when we have a last minute booking or a cancelled flight or delayed return due to hurricanes, etc. Nothing has ever been impossible or a challenge for her, she’s always been right there to help watch the pups with all the love and care that we give them ourselves. There aren’t enough words or reviews I can post to show our gratitude! Thank you, Ashleigh! ❤️”

“I can’t express enough gratitude for Jennifer’s incredible care of my mom’s dog, Luna, during a very challenging time for our family. When my mom suddenly fell and had to be hospitalized for several weeks, Jennifer stepped in and truly made a difference. Jennifer was not only accommodating but also exceptionally understanding. She allowed me to extend Luna’s stay **five times** without any issues, which was a huge relief amidst the chaos. Her dedication to Luna’s well-being was evident. Jennifer took excellent care of her, ensuring she was comfortable and happy. In addition, she also helped manage Luna’s ear infection, providing the necessary care and attention that truly showcased her skills and compassion for animals. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Her kindness and professionalism made a stressful situation much more manageable, and Luna came home healthy and happy! Thank you, Jennifer! 🌟”


“Christina J. has given us peace of mind when we leave our sweet 10-yr-old cockapoo with her. In recent years he has developed separation anxiety. Knowing he is safe and happy with Christina J. means the world to us. She is sweet, patient, loving and we could tell right away that she loves all dogs.”

“We had an amazing experience with Jessica and Colin! They watched Lulu for three weeks and took such wonderful care of her. It was clear from the updates and photos that she was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a very happy pup! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter”

“Alli was amazing with Oatmeal! She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. Oatmeal looked so happy, especially playing with her sweet dog Mack. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Tucker had such a great time!! He came home exhausted and freshly washed and blow dried thanks to Yessica! Amazing experience and Tucker can’t wait to go back!”

“Linda was fabulous. We had never left Joey before with someone new and he had the best time. Linda always sent updates and pictures of Joey which made me feel at ease that he was having fun. Linda also taught Joey new tricks! We will definitely book again”


“Jennifer and her daughter were great! They took great care of our boys and made them feel right at home. Jennifer sent us lots of cute pictures of our boys during their stay. They were sure to get lots of play time in with our dogs too! We will definitely be sure to use Jennifer again in the future.”
“Jonny & Cierra are truly the best! They treated my little guy like he was part of their own family, and were incredibly accommodating even with my last minute holiday booking. I’m beyond grateful we found them. Their whole family is so sweet and you can genuinely tell how much they love the dogs. They kept us updated the entire time and my pup had an absolute blast during his stay. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had dogs in my home since the day I was born. My family owned, a Husky, Rottweilers, Boston terriers, and a Shitzu over the years. As an adult I have owned and cared for a Pitbull boxer mix for 8 years, cat sitted for a dear friend for over a year, and another friends small dog. Animals always warm up to me quickly and enjoy my attentive presence with them. I am currently not working, since I have an (older) dog at home it is important we get daily activity in! This usually includes a walk between 1-2 miles or an hour or so at the dog park. I have a fenced dog park at my apartment, along with 1 dog in the home. She is docile and very friendly, but not very playful. No stairs, and a lanai for the animals to lounge around.
“Athena and Richi were fantastic with my pup Patty. She stayed with them for 5 nights over Christmas and had a great time. They sent a ton of photos throughout the days which was very nice. They even sent her home with a card, photo, and toy of her own! I could tell immediately they truly love to be around dogs and we're going to care for her as if she was their own.”

“JD and Magdalena are wonderful!! We left our fur baby with them for a week after doing a meet and greet with them and their pups, which was great. We got pictures of her everyday and I could tell she was having a great time. They are super nice people and we def recommend booking with them!!”

“Lou was great!! I feel fortunate that I was able to have him care for my fur-baby. Lou knew what to do to make my dog comfortable and eat. Gordie (my dog) is very picky about eating but loves to sit with somebody on the couch and sleep in bed with them. Lou did all that with him to make Gordie feel better away from home.”

“They were amazing! Super reliable, friendly, and treated our dog like family. They sent lots of photos and video updates, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup. Highly recommend!”

University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second time boarding with Ashleigh and our boys had a great time again! She’s always so responsive, provided great updates, and makes us feel comfortable boarding our animals. I would highly recommend Ashleigh for your pet care needs! We already have plans to rebook with her in June :)

Lauren was absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old puppy, Jasper, while we were away on a ski trip. This was our first time leaving him, so we were naturally a bit nervous, but Lauren made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Here is why we highly recommend her: Constant Communication: She sent plenty of updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip. Great Environment: Her home is incredibly clean, tidy, and safe—perfect for a curious puppy. Genuine Care: It was clear Jasper was well-loved and attended to while we were gone. We came home to a happy, tired pup! We will definitely be booking with Lauren again. Thanks for taking such great care of our boy!

Max had a great time at Jennifer B's. She showed him a lot of TLC and gave him the attention and exercise that our active, fun-loving dog needs. She gave us great updates and photos that described his experience. He loved playing with her dog! We definitely had a great experience and will work with her again in the future.

Marie was wonderful with our dog Mylo, she understood that he recently had an injury and needed pain meds multiple times a day. Her and her dog were so great with him as an older dog than hers. Our dog didn't want to leave when we went to pick him up! Thank you Marie!

Leslie and Aaron showed kindness and patience with our dog who is an energetic 1 1/2 year old, 55lbs mixed terrier. They took him for walks, made him feel at home and sent pictures to me regularly. They took good care of Toby who has health issues and they were very accommodating with their schedule for both drop-off and pick-up. Leslie was super responsive to any questions throughout the 6 days of boarding. I would use them again.

Ashton was great with watching my dog Teddy, and even made herself available last minute during the busy Holiday season! My dog loved playing with her pup Homer, and she even did a Santa photo shoot with him, which I was obsessed with! Would definitely recommend ☺️
