About: I had a blind dog that I adopted. I kept her until she past away from old age at 17 years old. I dealt with the accidents she had. I also have experience with high energy dogs and pit bulls. I have experience with cats and cats with special needs. I also have experience with other animals. I have had birds, fish, aquatic turtle, land tortoises, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, and a little bit of snakes. I have experience taking care of a cat for an extended period of time. I have some experience grooming miniature poodles and cocker spaniels as well long and short haired chihuahuas. I have trimmed dog and cat nails as well as some reptiles. I can learn anything you need me to do. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby I also take daily weeks multiple times a day I have no dogs and no cats. I have cares for many different dogs and cats throughout the years so I know what to do and not do
“Very caring and attentive family with kids that were kind to our dog. House is safe for any dog. Sergio and Bethany were also very accommodating to the specific feeding instructions we provided.”
“Pamela did an excellent job watching my dog and her home was a great environment for him. Her communication was excellent and I would use her services again!”
“Adriana is amazing. My babies loved being at her house! She’s kind and caring. I had no stress or anxiety about them being in her care. Her place is quiet and cozy. I am so thankful for her taking such good care of my pups.”
“What a wonderful experience having Ezra pet sat for our two pups. He was personable, communicative, kind and professional. He has designed a special place at his home to make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and engaged. He loves what he does and it shows.”
“Ash and her mom Michelle did an incredible job watching my 2 girls. I couldn't be happier with how well they were treated. This was my first time using Rover at home services and I will absolutely be going back to them when needed in the future. Ash was very communicative from the start and flexible with the drop off time when I made a mistake with the booking. She continued to keep me updated on how they were doing. I know my pups felt at home there. I had no worries leaving them behind while I was on my vacation. It was a stay-cation for them and less stressful than dog boarding in kennels. Don't hesitate for a second to trust them with your fur babies. Her prices are also so much more affordable than traditional boarding.”
“My dogs had a great time with Catherine. She sent multiple photos throughout their stay with her and they always looked relaxed, comfortable, and right at home. Great communication and I will definitely book with her again!”
“So happy to have meant Alicia! I feel confident leaving Brissie with her. My pup came back to me happy and healthy and was able to get all her puppy play risk needs in while I was away.”
“I have engaged John and Donna's service a couple of times and they are just terrific sitters. They took care of our Bruno as if he was their own. Our dog has become comfortable staying in their house and I wouldn't hesitate to bring him back again, when the need arises, as I know he will always be loved there.”
“Julia was so awesome! I have a dog with anxiety who can only be around certain small dogs and she was totally fine with Julia! The dogs came home happy, tired and missing their new dog friends that they made with staying over. Julia is chill and you can tell she truly loves animals and treated our pups like her own. I highly recommend her because she was courteous, professional and very kind.”
“Tracy is a very kind loving dog sitter. I have already booked her for my next trip. I finally found a dog sitter who I can trust with my sweet girl. Thank you Tracy for snuggling with her. I appreciate you.”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“Todd took exceptional care of Skippy and Sky! He kept us updated throughout their stay and sent plenty of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear they were in great hands. We’re confident we chose an outstanding Rover and will absolutely have Todd at the top of our list next time we need someone to look after Skippy and Sky.”
“Our two pups had a great stay. They loved all the attention from the whole family. It was our first time with them for a Rover stay are we could not be happier. Now we know we have a loving sitter for Roxy and Titus the next time we head out of town. Highly recommend Kelly.”
“I recently entrusted Logan with the care of my beloved dog Polo (first time using Rover) and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Logan went above and beyond in ensuring Polo’s well-being, providing regular updates through both videos and pictures, which greatly reassured me while I was away. It was evident that Logan genuinely cared for Polo, not just as a client’s pet, but as a furry friend. Myself and Polo highly recommend Logan’s services to anyone seeking a responsible and caring pet sitter. Thank you again Logan! 🩷”
University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie was wonderful! She was flexible and easy going, but also super attentive and on top of it when it came to my dog’s needs and routine. She was great about providing me updates. I felt completely at ease with my dog in her care while I couldn’t be with him.
Ada and Fred were absolutely amazing while watching our puppy. Ada was very communicative with us the entire time and sent lots of photo updates. Mushu seemed very happy and was clearly well taken care of after spending her time with them. We absolutely recommend this sitter and would have zero hesitation booking with them again.
Todd & his wife were AMAZING! My 4 month old puppy enjoyed her week long stay. I felt very confident that Charlie was being well cared for due to the amount of daily communication via text, pictures & videos. Charlie didn’t slide backwards in her training or behaviors which confirmed the stellar care she received. I highly recommend Todd!
William was excellent with my Australian Shepherd! When I reached out to William, he was very responsive & we scheduled a meet-and-greet right away. My dog seemed very comfortable around him, and he is very safety-conscious (which I greatly appreciate). My dog has medication needs and high energy, and it isn't easy to find someone I really trust with her, and who will also entertain her throughout the day. I was not worried at all about leaving her with William. He took her for long walks each day, threw the ball for her in his fenced backyard, provided treats (after my approval), and updated me each day with photos. My dog was exhausted when I picked her up, and I know she had a great time. I will definitely be using William in the future when I travel!!
Huaqing cared for our dog Chica like it was her own dog. We’ve booked a lot of Rovers and never had such a personalized, caring experience like this. She made sure to send very detailed messages and 7-10 photos daily. Chica requires several medications and special food, which she administered without a problem. She even gave us a handwritten letter and gift for Chica after her stay. She noticed Chica liked one particular toy and just let her keep it. After our stay, Chica came down with an illness, so we reached out just to make sure nothing happened during her stay. Huaqing was extremely responsive and helpful and genuinely worried about our dog. It really felt like we were leaving our baby with someone we could trust and who is just a good person. I would highly recommend Huaqing.
Ryan and Katie did such a great job with Charles. We were in a pinch because of a surprise family trip and they both were very accommodating, taking Charles through the Christmas holiday. I received contact updates from them about Charles and they were so nice to have Charles and their pup Barkley have fun in the backyard and taking him out on walks. They even handled Charles' complex food prep amazingly. 5/5 would book with them again.
An amazing rover sitter ! My last sitter canceled and she was able to fit my pup in the night before . My puppy is really shy and takes time to warm up but he jumped in her arms right away ! Any anxiety that I had about leaving him was gone as you can tell that she really loves animals and made sure to communicate with pictures and gave me updates to his reaction to the new environment. The environment was clean and free of any safety hazards which also eased my nerves during drop off. Will definitely book again and recommend others to book as well !
Robbie was so great with our dog Boone. He was professional, yet personable, quick to respond, and even stayed up extra late on our last night so we could pick him up right when we got into town. You could tell he truly cares about animals and did his best to make sure they were comfortable and taken care of during their stay. He was also great at sending us picture and video updates. Would definitely book again!
I would recommend Krystal 10/10 times for watching your pet. My dog Toby is a pretty timid and anxious but from the first stay to every returning visit you can tell he loves and feels safe with Krystal. When he comes home after there’s no need to decompress he’s completely relaxed and I can tell he’s been well taken care of. Not only is she the best with my dog but she’s incredibly kind to me as well. Our last 2 stays my pick up times have not gone as planned with travel issues but she always meets me with patience and kindness. I’m always so please when we get to book with her ❤️
