“Our sweet Nelson had a wonderful experience staying with Shay and Zach. Their place is very dog-friendly and they immediately welcomed our little boy into their pack. They made sure he got his medication and gave him lots of play time. We were very happy with our decision to let him stay with them and would highly recommend them.”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Barrie kept us informed of daily events with our pup and if she was concerned about anything, she reached out to confer with us! We would recommend her to anyone who needs a caring home away from home! Thank you, Barrie!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Laderius and his family were available for last minute boarding. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for your pet, this is the right family. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Ray took care of my little Jade and took nice photos and videos of her. She came home happy and healthy. Ray has been professional and communicated well throughout the entire process! Will continue to use him for future services.”
About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old and with my degree and career background in veterinary medicine, best believe your pets will be safe and taken care of while also being treated like family. I’m available after 2:30pm everyday and my days are completely open on the weekends. If I need to stop by in the early morning, I can as well. Pets will be loved on, walked, fed, and receive intimate quality time. I have two needy dogs myself so I completely understand the anxiety that can come with pets being alone so I will make sure to make them feel safe and provided for.
“Our puppy always feels at home with Jessica. It’s clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Libby was excellent with my Black Lab. I really appreciate her being accommodating, especially being a last minute booking. Will definitely use her again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kendall is the best! Not only was she able to keep up with my pup, but she always reached out with updates! I was never worried about my dogs safety & I would 100% use Kendall again!”
“My dog Kona had another great stay with Kelsey! I would absolutely recommend her. She is super accommodating, quick to get back to you and sends the best photos. Kona always has such a great time playing with her dogs and going for walks on the beach.”

“Amy was fantastic. She was on time and always sent pictures! She was so easy to communicate with. For our first time using Rover, Amy was the perfect match for my cats.”
“Leah did a great job taking care of our two kitties!! She made sure all of their needs were met, including playing with them and just keeping them company. She also took really amazing pics of them!!!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Sarah and the care my cat received. Sarah is attentive, reliable, and clearly has this natural way with animals - Django doesn’t warm up to just anyone, but from what I could see he was purring like a tractor in no time. Top tier service from someone with an equally top tier presence - something important when looking for someone to care for your fur baby. Would highly recommend Sarah to anyone needing a high level of professionalism and care, and I will certainly be a returning.”
“Adrianna was prompt, professional, attentive and overall WONDERFUL. She was focused and detailed on her task, while at the same time being personable with our Cesar. He was excited to see her daily and awaiting her services. Will definitely utilize her services again and again”
“Frankie did a fantastic job with my 12-year-old American bobtail cat during my absence, especially on short notice. The drop-in visits were excellent in every way. I enjoyed reading Frankie’s updates, which showed creativity, thoughtfulness and caring. I didn’t have an opportunity to meet Frankie, but the vibe was a genuinely caring and wonderful soul. Buddy and I are highly satisfied with the care received, and, well, we just love Frankie. I will definitely try to book with Frankie in the future. Absolute trust. Thank you so much, from Buddy and me”
“We have a semi-feral, learning domestication skills cat, Miss Kitty, who is free to roam outside and in, and is very wary of strangers. Cam was so patient and loving, and won over Miss Kitty and us! We received daily updates, photos and/or videos. We highly recommend her for any cat sitting job you may have.”
“Susan was exactly what I needed for taking care of my kitty last minute while I was away! She was detailed and responsive, time flexible, and I think my cat has a new best friend. Would recommend Susan to anyone in the area needing a pet sitter.”
“Erika is the BEST. She is reliable, professional, and has consistently taken great care of our cats and dogs. She has even gone down into a storm drain to rescue my trapped cat while I was out of town. Happy to trust her with our furry family members.”
“Piper did a great job looking after my cat. She took great photos and gave a nice play-by-play of what happened during her drop-in visits. My cat was very happy and calm when I returned. I will definitely call on Piper again for cat-sitting!”
“I can’t speak more highly of Sarah. She not only took excellent care of my two cats, but she also made sure to update me on anything happening at the house (big wind storm, for example).”
About: I was raised with cats and grown to love them I ended up with 5 at one point. A mom & her babies we rescued. They lived a long and happy life. The only sad part of loving these babies is they don’t live long enough.
“Megan is always a gem. Very reliable, great at figuring what my cats need. She is good with my shy cats and willing to put in the hard work when needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
About: I have lived with cats my entire life and currently have five of them. When neighbors or family members are away, I occasionally take over to make sure they are well fed and treated. Experienced with many different types of cats; this includes kittens, aggressive, wild, neurotic and/or disabled cats.
About: I am not as experienced with cats as I am with dogs, but I have had my cat for 3.5 years and Oliver is the best cat and gets along with all my dogs. I have the typical experience with cats, feeding, watering and cleaning the litter box. I haven't had to give my cat any meds at this time, but I am up for the challenge =)
About: Hi there! I’m Abby, and I’ve had years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups, senior pets, or shy kitties, I love giving animals the love and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away!
About: I have never been without a cat my entire life. I've adopted elderly cats (see profile picture, Helen) to love them in their golden years, I've had one leave us way too soon. My current cat, Dickens, is going on 14 years with me; He and I are loving every minute! I'm pretty quick to small/catch accidents and clean thoroughly if needed. Scoopin' poop doesn't scare me, either!

“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great. She has a dog and a toddler that gets plenty of interaction with our puppy and Greta is always happy to go back to see her new friends. I am very appreciative of Amy’s willingness to work with our busy schedules that fluctuate for drop off and pick up.”

“Kendall was great with our puppy Phoebe. She answered all my questions as I was a first time Rover user. We loved receiving an update and photo while we were away. I will definitely book her again, next time we are in town.”
About: I’ve always been the friend people call when they need someone to care for their pets! I’ve raised a dog from puppyhood and adopted and cared for a senior dog, so I’m comfortable with every stage of life. Over the years, I’ve been a repeat dog and cat sitter and walker for countless friends and family—including house sitting for over a month. I am also a Doctor (resident physician) at Baptist Health, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of my everyday life. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I’m home most of the day; when I do go into work, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I’m comfortable with medications and detailed care instructions, attentive to when something seems off, and calm in unexpected situations. One of my closest friends is also a veterinarian, giving me a trusted resource when needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat other people’s pets the way I’d want someone to treat my own. If you furry friend stays with me, they will also meet Zeus, my 10-year-old neutered pug and professional co-pet-sitter. He’s incredibly laid-back, patient, and unfazed by just about everything—I have never even heard him bark! He loves dogs and cats, has helped me host many pets over the years, and mostly just does his own thing while providing some quiet companionship. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a laid-back dog, or a cat who runs the household, I’m at your bark and call! 🐾 As I mentioned, I’m a doctor at Baptist Health. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I am at home most of the day. When I do go into work during these months, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, sleeping habits, and all their little quirks! I’m attentive and responsible, and I never take the trust of caring for someone’s pet or home lightly. If you’re hiring me to host your doggo, I live in a condo right by Railroad Park and just a block from Rotary Trail, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. My mom also lives only five minutes away and has a large, beautiful fenced-in yard that we can visit for some extra space to play and explore. At home, my calm senior pug Zeus is around for company but is very content to do his own thing. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and prioritize keeping their normal routine. I will also send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing!
About: Hey there, my name is Holly and I love working with dogs. I have spent the last 10 plus years working with dogs at a local doggie day care facility. While working there I obtained a lot of knowledge and eventually earned a position as a supervisor and managed new hires on how to work dog day care yards. During my time I gained a lot of valuable insight on dog behavior while working in the dog day care yard. I also have owned as many as three dogs at one time. I have hosted several of my friend's dogs for overnight stays along with my own dogs and I would just love the opportunity to give them the best care and love a dog could desire. I have a passion for fur babies and treat them as if they are my own. I have a special relationship with my veterinarian and I have experience in giving dog medication if necessary. I am conveniently located to my personal veterinarian and other veterinarians as well as a emergency vet in the event your fur baby suddenly becomes ill. Having owned numerous dogs over my lifetime I am keenly aware of what it takes to attend to senior dogs. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks. I am currently retired and available to baby sit your fur baby anytime including weekdays/nights, weekends, and holidays. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your fur baby's needs along side my own fur baby, Pinkie. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks along with my fur baby, Pinkie for company and companionship. I am all about creature comforts and whatever your baby is used to for the best experience. Your baby is more than welcome to lay on the couch, sleep in my bed or can be crated if that is what they enjoy the most. I also offer Dog TV for viewing pleasure. You can expect lot's of cuddle time, potty breaks, walks, treats and toys to play with but most of all LOVE. I also have a habit of sending video's and pictures of your baby while you are away.
About: We have a dog park where your fur babies can experience the time of their lives. Also walks around the neighborhood 💕💕💕💕💕. Nice community here! I am and independent contractor, and basically has plenty of time on my hands: I will go the extra mile to make sure everything is okay I devote so much time with other peoples dogs it’s insane. lol but I love it , and wouldn’t have it any other way !
“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”
“I LOVE JESSICA! She is so sweet and very informative! I think Jojo and I both look forward to seeing her every morning. I will definitely book with her every chance we can.”
About: I've been pet sitting and walking since my freshman year of highschool! I've taken care of so many animals like cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and even lizards. I am a true animal lover and genuinely care about their happiness and safety. I can feed, bathe, and keep your animals stimulated for a healthy body and mind. I’m also a canine coach at Dogtopia and have a lot of of hands on experience with dog behavior! I am a college student who needs something flexible with my full course load and that has been a little difficult, so I figured this would be a great job that could give me enough time to also do all my assignments! I make sure the animals I look after are well cared for, and the home I'm in is too if the service calls for it. I'm a strong believer of leaving places better than I found them so I love to tidy up to help your day be a little easier!
About: I’m a devoted animal lover who treats every animal like my own! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Known for my reliability, patience, and big heart for furry friends, I bring positive energy and genuine care to every walk, visit or stay. I have 8 years of experience caring for pets of my friends and families…I’m open to all types of care weather it’s just a walk, need me to let them out, keep them at my place or I stay at yours! I work at UAB Hospital 3 days a week, even on days I work I can let them out before after and on my hour break! I will make any accommodations necessary for you and your animals! I live right by railroad park, so that area would be perfect for any animal to be walked in! I like by myself with no pets in my apartment.
“Would highly recommend. Angelika was very sweet and cared a lot about our dog. Our dog, October is a very shy rescue dog, but Angelika did a great job with caring for her.. taking her for long walks, cuddles and etc!”

We are available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, doggie daycare, & more. I am currently a homeschool mom and have a very flexible schedule. We will be as accommodating as possible for your pets individual needs & treat them as part of our family. We have a huge fenced in back yard. Two girls that love animals more than anything in life.

And I can easily crate your dog if needed, (but will only if you do this at home).
About: I’m the one your dog wants to stay with! Playful, I’m just as energetic as your pet😁 I love to give belly rubs 😁 I will treat your pet just like my own Im home evenings, weekends and overnights to care for your fur baby. We go for walks in the yard. Contact me if you have any questions about a schedule. I don’t house pets in crates although I do have them if needed. My home is pet friendly. It’s a safe environment. My doors are locked and I have a fenced in yard so they won’t escape.
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.
About: Dog owner & lover for decades. I have raised and cared for liters of puppies all the way up to adult senior dogs that require administering meds. I can accommodate the high energy pup with walks & hiking trails, but also love to be a snuggly couch companion to the adult senior dog as well! As a homemaker with school-aged children, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m available during the day, evenings, overnight and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs so they feel relaxed while you’re away. In a client’s home I respect your space, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. If pets stay in my home, they’ll receive lots of attention, exercise, and a calm, family-friendly environment where they’re treated like one of the family. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and well cared for until you’re back home.

About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I grew up with both dogs and cats and also currently have a big fluffy husky that I love taking on long walks. He has taught me patience when walking to let him sniff and explore and to be able to pick up on tell tale signs from other dogs and surrounding areas. I have never met a pet I wasn’t able to become buddies within no time. I work full time but can walk before and after work on week days. The weekends I am free at any time to walk dogs. I have a 9 year old husky I walk an average of 2 - 3 miles a day since he loves walks. I do not bring him along for house sitting since his fluff will stay long after he does and he is comfy staying at home with my sister. I know how to approach new dogs to let them know I am a trustworthy person and pay attention to their own moods and personalities as each animal is different.
“my dog instantly loved frankie! my dog has some leash reactivity and they were reassuring that they could handle her which put me at ease. definitely will hire again!”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle. I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life and have been pet-sitting for about 17 years. I also grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always just been part of my day-to-day life. I’ve worked long-term with a family who has four senior beagles (one is blind), so I’m very comfortable with medications, routines, and dogs that need a little extra patience and care. Your dog will stay in my home and be treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard where they can run and play, plus a covered area for shade when it’s hot (which, realistically, is often). I also live about a mile from a dog park if your dog enjoys getting out and exploring. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible—whether that’s lots of playtime or just a calm place to relax. Every dog is different, and I adjust to what they need. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away, and you can trust that your dog is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I work a typical Monday–Friday 9–5 schedule, but I’m able to stop by during the day for potty breaks, medications, and check-ins. Before and after work, your pet will get plenty of attention, time outside, and interaction. Weekends are more flexible, so I’m able to spend more extended time with pets in my care. Every other weekend, my 5-year-old is with me—she’s grown up around animals and is very gentle and comfortable with them. My home is very pet-friendly and pretty relaxed. Dogs are welcome on furniture if that’s what they’re used to, and I try to keep their routine as close to home as possible. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can run and play, plus a covered area for shade when it’s hot. I keep a close eye on pets when they’re outside and make sure they’re always safe and comfortable.
About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.
“Tatiana is amazing! Zeus is in love. He recognizes her car and runs to the door to greet her, excited for his walk. She tires him out enough for him to settle down so I can work without having a bored puppy underfoot. Will request her again.”
About: I’m a pediatric nurse and lifelong animal lover who understands the importance of being dependable, attentive, and patient. I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and following specific routines and instructions. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I work as a pediatric nurse, so my schedule varies throughout the week and gives me availability on many weekdays and weekends. On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and keeping your pet company. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior and will carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions you provide. I respect each pet’s individual routine and personality and will make sure they receive safe, loving, and dependable care in their own environment.
About: I have had at least one dog ever since I was born, and i have had to care for, exercise, feed, and bathe a dog since. Plenty of friends and family have also asked me to dog sit or dog walk for them so I am very familiar with working with dogs that aren’t my own. I also worked at Camp Bow Wow in Montgomery for a year. They are a highly regarded doggy day care and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I was in constant contact with dogs and learned a lot about caring for them more than i already knew. I have a flexible work from home job, so i have plenty of time to take care of your pups!! I love going for walks and playing with dogs, as well as being chill and giving them plenty of belly rubs!!! At home, I feed my dog and take her for daily walks. I also do enrichment exercises with her to keep her mind stimulated. In your home, I would do the same as well as take them for plenty of walks!! I follow feeding schedules if provided and am flexible to any other rules in the home.
About: -Constant care avaliable upon request** -Experienced with shy/anxious animals -Independently insured -Petsitting is my primary job. Your pets are my priority! -Capable of caring for small mammals and exotic pets, including reptiles and arthropods As a sitter, I pay attention to the details, such as making sure food and water bowls are cleaned, and I am diligent in keeping pets out of potentially dangerous situations. You can also be assured that I will take good care of your home. Overnight dog sits include at least one walk a day unless otherwise specified or the weather prevents it. I am comfortable administering medications, including injections. **Depending on your needs, I may not be able to provide constant care on Wednesday nights, as I have an 2.5hr evening class, but this is my only other commitment I am self-employed, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am avaliable for constant care for an additional rate. Most of my exercise comes from walking dogs, so I am more than happy to take the long route if your pooch is up for it! I am very careful with your pets, avoiding encounters with unfamiliar dogs or people to avoid conflicts. My food is never within reach, and I pride myself on keeping your home clean and ready for your return.
“Leah was amazing! She was quick to respond and able to fit us into her busy schedule last minute. Our puppy, Willow, loved Leah from the start. Leah made sure to care for Willow as her own and give us many updates and pictures. I could not recommend Leah enough!”
“Adrianna did a phenomenal job filling in on short notice, she was always on time, professional, and my pups loved here. Schedule with her in confidence because she will do a fantastic job!”
“Nichole was incredibly patient with my dog Mabel! Mabel can be really timid and scared of new people, and Nichole didn't force Mabel to go a walk when Mabel opted to stay in her kennel. Highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”
About: I have lived with cats my entire life and currently own five of them. When neighbors or family members are away, I occasionally take over to make sure they are well fed and treated. Experienced with many different types of cats; this includes kittens, aggressive, wild, neurotic and/or disabled cats. I have college in the mornings Monday through Thursday, but I'm free the rest of the time. If there are any sudden inconveniences with schedule then I will notify as soon as possible. (Additionally, my name is Kuvo, but Lydia is fine. Your pet is my priority, so I hope a name will not disturb the service provided.) There are certain times for engaging with cats and certain times to provide them with distance. I hope to prevent stress while also giving them the proper attention they need. I am never too far and know where they are.

I currently work from home and set my own schedule, so I’m generally free during the weekday and in the evenings. I also have a lot of free time on the weekends and would love to look after your furry friends!

I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. You can count on me to keep things running smoothly and give them all the love and attention they need.
About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.

About: I’ve had multiple pets for multiple years. I’ve fostered, rescued, rehabbed, and taken care of multiple dogs at a time for multiple years. They have a wide range of personalities, needs, and interests. I’ve worked with aggressive, resource-protective, calm, and medically needing dogs. I’m capable and equipped to take care of them and help your home function well! I’m a business owner with a very flexible schedule. I can usually be available quickly and last minute if needed. I also can handle large stretches of days and time brackets. I create an environment for my visits that are curated too what your pets are most comfortable with. That being said I love to get to know what makes your pet comfortable and help to emulate the kind of routine that helps them not miss a beat of their routine!

“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Barrie kept us informed of daily events with our pup and if she was concerned about anything, she reached out to confer with us! We would recommend her to anyone who needs a caring home away from home! Thank you, Barrie!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Ray took care of my little Jade and took nice photos and videos of her. She came home happy and healthy. Ray has been professional and communicated well throughout the entire process! Will continue to use him for future services.”
“Our puppy always feels at home with Jessica. It’s clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Libby was excellent with my Black Lab. I really appreciate her being accommodating, especially being a last minute booking. Will definitely use her again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kendall is the best! Not only was she able to keep up with my pup, but she always reached out with updates! I was never worried about my dogs safety & I would 100% use Kendall again!”
“My dog Kona had another great stay with Kelsey! I would absolutely recommend her. She is super accommodating, quick to get back to you and sends the best photos. Kona always has such a great time playing with her dogs and going for walks on the beach.”
“I've left my dog with Jordyn multiple times now and he always has a blast. Jordyn is very attentive to Hamlet's dietary restrictions and health. She always sends me updates on his day with pictures. I am so grateful that I can leave town without worrying about my sweet boy, because I know he is having a blast. If you have a dog that loves to play and socialize, definitely consider leaving your dog with her.”
“Christopher and Sore were amazing! Our sweet boy had an amazing time with them and they took great care of him. We were updated regularly and received great pictures from them. We will absolutely be reserving Christopher and Sore in the future!”
