“Donna and Ralph took Bagheera right into their hearts. Their photos showed him snuggling and at home in their comfortable house. Our communication was excellent. I hope he can visit with them again and again!”
“Margaret was amazing! As my first time using rover and leaving my dog, she helped make me feel comfortable and addressing all of my concerns. Lego has separation and dog anxiety and Margaret made sure I was comfortable with her plans and approach, took wonderful care, shared videos and photos too. I have been raving about my experience to all of my dog parent friends and can’t wait for Margaret to watch Lego for our next trip!”
“MinJun and Mi Ran took such great care of our furry baby! It was such a relief to know that he was in good hands and that they loved him as much as we love him! we will definitely be using them again! Thank you Minjun and Mi Ran!”
“Tracy looked after our dog for more than a week while we were away and she did an amazing job! She provided regular updates with photos, showing our furry family member going on walks, playing, and receiving lots of cuddles. It was comforting to know Luna was in such caring and capable hands.”
“Jifu’s family with Joki took a good care of our golden doodle, Kuli very well. They follow the caring instruction to feed Kuli and medications. Kuli has allergy and urinary incontinence, she needs to take medication multiple times a day, she also has bilious vomiting if she has empty stomach for too long, and she pees on herself in front of her legs because of the way she pees, those make more troubles to take care of her. But when we pick Kuli up, she is happy, clean, and no illness symptoms so I can tell they fed Kuli on time with correct dose of medications. Their house has a nice and big backyard, also a front yard with grass lawn. What’s a wonderful place for pups. Kuli likes to bask there, and play fetching. Thank you very much for having Kuli and thanks Joki to share the nice space and keep Kuli company.”
“This was our second time having our pup sat with Jesse and Kimmy! They were extremely communicative and sent so many cute pictures, which we always appreciate when we are apart! Charlie loves them and was so excited to see them again. Their yard is a great space for the pups to let out some energy and play or relax and bath in the sun. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent communication and updates! Was so happy to see Carmelo having a wonderful time - provided me with plenty of reassurance while I was gone. Carmelo looks forward to staying with Christopher again!”
“Marivel is just the best! We trust to take care of our dog Olive and love all the pictures and videos throughout the stay. Olive is always a happy girl to be staying at Marivel’s 😊”
About: I offer a calm, personalized environment by caring for only a few dogs at a time—never more than three—so each pup gets plenty of attention. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special routines, and I’m comfortable reinforcing training or providing gentle, senior-friendly care. My backyard is fully fenced for safe, comfortable outdoor play, and my own mellow, friendly dog makes a wonderful companion for visiting pups. I send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your dog is happy, relaxed, and in good hands. I work from home, with a flexible schedule, so I’m around all day to hang out with the pups, give them potty breaks, and sneak in some playtime between work tasks. We usually start and end the day with a walk, and in between there’s plenty of supervised backyard playtime. In my home, dogs enjoy a balanced mix of structure, play, and plenty of affection. I keep a calm, relaxed atmosphere and follow each pup’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to favorite toys and nap spots—so they feel right at home. Dogs have regular potty breaks and safe outdoor play in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always close by to supervise. I host no more than three dogs at a time, ensuring each one gets individual attention, along with companionship from my mellow, friendly resident dog.

University South dog parents share their Rover experiences
Margaret takes great care of our pup when he stays over. She's very knowledgable and experienced with dogs and their behavior and language, and she helps train and work on his behavior. He's always so well behaved when he comes home, and he's happy in all the videos and photos she sends. She's very communicative and sends lots of updates. We're happy to have found someone who can watch him when we're gone.
Christopher was fantastic with my two pups while we were away on a road trip! Toko tends to be a bit skittish when anxious, and Christopher took both Arya and Toko on walks regularly without any issues. He gave me detailed daily updates, was very communicative throughout our trip, and sent me the best glamour shots of their faces! I absolutely recommend him for watching over your furry family members.
Caro is the best! She took care of Kevin considering the need of his surgery and medicines. She sent every hour reports and confirmation of prescriptions applied to Kevin. She was really patient and very communicative, all the time I knew that he was in really good hands. Definitely we'll come back. Thank you Caro!
Tillana was a godsend! My husband and I were on vacation and our friends who usually watch our babies had an event and we needed a sitter. It was our first time using rover and we were nervous about leaving our dogs for two nights with someone we don’t know but tillana made it so easy and stress free. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and our dogs looked so happy! She cuddled the boys and they slept in bed with her and seemed so comfortable which was amazing. We will definitely be ha I g her watch them again if we need a dog sitter!
We've used Dylan several times, and this last time, he accommodated at the last minute and we were so appreciative. I can tell my dog loves staying here, because he runs to see Dylan as soon as we get out of the car. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with Dylan and we will use him again. Also, he is prompt and responsive!
Javier took great care of my 11 months old puppy. He is super nice, detailed oriented, responsible and sent regular updates through the stay. My dog was very happy and well exercised when I picked him up. Javier’s sweet lab also got along great with mine so it was bonus for the dogs to play together. He has a lot of experience. I would definitely recommend him as a sitter.
Yun and his partner did a great job taking care of our pup, Bagel, for a whole week. Bagel had lots of fun with them, they walked and played fetch with him daily. They made sure they understood the care instructions we provided and sent daily updates. Most importantly, Bagel came home a happy dog. Highly recommend!
Nicole was incredible! She took in our little man last minute and took such amazing care of him. We got photo updates daily and joke that Brody went on his own mini vacation here with how many fun things he got to be a part of with her. Highly recommend and would use again!
