“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“This was my second time booking with Iman and she’s been great both times. She’s professional, friendly, and took great care of my baby. She sent lots of pics, and she even gave her a bath. She smells like candy :) I will rebook again with her and I highly recommend her.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“This was my first time using this app, and I was soo nervous. But that feeling immediately went away when I came across Christine. She has been phenomenal with my two fur babies. She went above and beyond to keep me updated with how they were adjusting. She sent me daily pictures and videos. I barely had to supply anything for their stay. They were comfortable and loved as if they were her own. It’s soo comforting to know that I can depend on another doggy lover outside of myself to trust. I will for sure be using her services again when needed. Thank you rover and Christine. I can’t express how much I appreciate this. I wish I would’ve found this app sooner ?”
“Megan did a great job with Winston - an eight month old Miniature Schnauzer puppy with plenty of energy. She is very patient, caring, and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely leverage her services again.”
“Janet is phenomenal! The MOST caring and kind dog mom and sitter! She is very patient with my 7 month puppy while he is developing his manners. She provides a lovely home and environment for my pup, who runs to the door whenever he is going to stay with Janet. She is simply the best!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Mercedes! She got lots of walks and affection. I really appreciate the daily pictures and updates, too. Mercedes is such a kind person, and I knew she wanted to make this a great experience for all. We'd definitely use her again.”
“I don’t have enough good things to say about our dogs stay with Elizabeth! She updated us daily with photos and how they were adjusting. She had patience with our large, hard to walk pitbull. She was truly wonderful! Highly recommended!”
“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“I have two small 8-year-old dogs. They spent 10 days with Bola. Bola was great, she clearly puts her heart into this job. She sent pictures every two or three days. The living room has a clean wooden floor. The small fenced grassy yard is perfect for small dogs to run and sniff around. Bola even delivered the dogs to my home at the end of their stay (a 15-minute drive). I warmly recommend her service.”
“Our last rodeo with Tanisha & Darrius was great per usual. They’re always so welcoming & attentive, making my fur baby feel so comfortable. We’ll truly miss them as they take some time away to refocus on their family. & looking forward to when they’re back to accepting intakes for boarding again. 💕”
“This was my 1st time boarding my pet. I was worried but Dwight came with such great reviews so I took a chance. I am so glad I did. Dwight was amazing with my pup and my pup even made new friends. I will be rebooking ASAP and I am also going to include traditional daycare. Thanks Dwight and thanks Rover for doing all the research and making the process seamless!”
“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”
“Sassy had such an amazing time with Michael and Joanna. They really made her feel at home. They have the perfect setup to take care of your pets with all of the essentials and more! Sassy was able to make new friends and receive all the love and attention she desires. They made sure to keep me up to date by sending daily pics and videos. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your dog, be sure to book with them. They are true pet professionals that provide the support and care needed for your animals. And they even made a cute collar and bandana for Sassy that she loves! I will definitely bring Sassy back whenever I need a sitter.”
“Alex was great!! Kept me updated throughout entire stay with lots of pictures. Also picked up my pup and dropped her off right at my apt unit so very convenient. Will definitely use her again!”

“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”
“Coretta is excellent! She has taken care of my cat twice now and both times she has been extremely thorough and communicative. She's great with cats and my cat loves her!”
“Chloe is great with communication and patient with Penelope. She definitely paid attention to details and has no hesitation in ensuring she understands what she is doing. Thank you, Chloe!”

“Maria was great. I scheduled her for a couple of drop in visits on a day we were going to be gone all day. She contacted me an hour before her first visit because there was rain in the forecast. She asked about how the dogs were in the rain and checked to see if she should walk them or plan for the backyard. She sent pictures and communication was great. I’ve already scheduled her for an upcoming overnight stay.”

My pets are well fed, always playing, and are near me all the time. I always consider pets I meet anywhere my own. I take the time to make sure my pets are happy and safe.
“Jayden is the best sitter we've had through Rover yet! They house-sat and cat-sat for us for two nights and two days. I am normally a helicopter cat mom, very nervous to leave my babies. Especially as one is a very senior cat with the occasional health problem. But I felt very comfortable with Jayden watching not only our house but also our cats from the very first meeting! They sent tons of pictures and a video. They were super communicative and asked great questions before the job, like about our cats sensitivity and health. We had to reschedule last minute due to my older cat having an emergency and they were so understanding and flexible. 10/10 stars. We'll definitely book them again with complete trust! I could tell when we got home my cats were super relaxed and happy. Even the anxious one!”

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.

About: Kyle and Ben have been caring for dogs in our home for over fifteen years. We have experience administering medications, whether they be topical, ingested or intravenous. Our goal is to make sure you know your dog is safe and well cared for while you're out of town. We are very quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages and emails and will keep you posted with photos and updates on how your dog is doing while they are staying with us. We also provide flexible pick up and drop off hours for your convenience and can provide transportation if necessary. Kyle has several years of experience working in the pet care industry, starting with shelter work, moving onto a dog daycare/boarding facility and managing of two different dog and cat supply stores (one local, one corporate) in the last fifteen years. She is certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and has experience administering topical, oral and intravenous medications. She has extensive experience handling senior and disabled animals, as well as dogs with behavioral issues. We have always loved dogs and owned dogs throughout our respective childhoods, but Kyle has gotten more hands on experience in the last fifteen years by dabbling in different fields of animal care. She worked as a kennel attendant at the local SPCA for a period of time, caring for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. It was there that she learned proper care techniques and how to administer medications. She took these skills with her when she went to work first as a kennel attendant and then as the office manager of a small dog daycare and boarding facility. She spent the next seven years serving as store manager of two different natural dog and cat supply stores, where she helped pet owners provide their animals with healthy natural foods, treats and other supplies. She also organized many in store events to help highlight and raise funds for many local rescues and shelters. In 2020, Kyle completed school to become a dog groomer and has been grooming dogs in Hyde Park for the last several years. Both Kyle and Ben work mainly from home, or not far from home. Kyle works as a dog groomer and is able to bring your dog to work with her during the day to minimize any time your dog may spend without human supervision. We never allow anyone off leash on walks, and we do not utilize off leash dog parks for safety reasons. All of our pets are fully vaccinated. Feeding times are always supervised to prevent any potential food aggression. Toys and chews are put away when human supervision is unavailable to prevent resource guarding.

“Maren has been a godsend to us. We brought Luna home at 8 weeks and I was super nervous about finding someone to look after her while my partner and I are at work. We were in a tricky position because she's not crate trained yet, so she needs all-day care, but doggy day care's won't accept her because she doesn't have all her shots. When I asked Maren to look after our little rascal 2x a week for 2 months, she was incredibly accommodating. It's been 2 weeks now since Luna has started "camp Maren" and it's been great. Maren communicates well and sends multiple updates throughout the day. Luna loves Maren so much that she does a little happy dance (which involves jumping, wiggling, and lots of kissing) every time they meet and I can tell she's not quite ready to leave when we come pick her up. If you want someone who will love and take care of your dog as her own, look no further! Thanks, Maren!”

“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!”

I currently own a mellow and submissive lab/husky mix, Henry, and a Maine Coon/Domestic Medium Hair cat, Tater Tot. Both get along with other animals.

“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Megan did a great job with Winston - an eight month old Miniature Schnauzer puppy with plenty of energy. She is very patient, caring, and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely leverage her services again.”
“Our dog had such a great time with Mercedes! She got lots of walks and affection. I really appreciate the daily pictures and updates, too. Mercedes is such a kind person, and I knew she wanted to make this a great experience for all. We'd definitely use her again.”
“I don’t have enough good things to say about our dogs stay with Elizabeth! She updated us daily with photos and how they were adjusting. She had patience with our large, hard to walk pitbull. She was truly wonderful! Highly recommended!”
“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“I have two small 8-year-old dogs. They spent 10 days with Bola. Bola was great, she clearly puts her heart into this job. She sent pictures every two or three days. The living room has a clean wooden floor. The small fenced grassy yard is perfect for small dogs to run and sniff around. Bola even delivered the dogs to my home at the end of their stay (a 15-minute drive). I warmly recommend her service.”
“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”
“Alex was great!! Kept me updated throughout entire stay with lots of pictures. Also picked up my pup and dropped her off right at my apt unit so very convenient. Will definitely use her again!”
“Ania did a great job taking care of Dalí. He is very shy and needs time adjusting to new people. She was very gentle with him, and even took him on a couple of walks leading up to our reservation to make sure he was comfortable with her. Ania was responsive, accommodated Dalí’s needs, and sent pictures/video updates. I have already booked another boarding reservation with her.”
“Sandy is absolutely the best. We were in a pinch to find someone to watch our dog Brutus and a bit nervous having to leave him with someone he wasn't familiar with, but he had a great time. Exceptional communication from Sandy, with lots of updates and pics. But most importantly our needy dog got lots of TLC. Definitely will book with her again. Highly recommend. A++.”
“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”
