“Our dog had a awesome stay. He was treated like a king, he had normal walks, and free roaming in backyard for potty breaks when needed. We recieved fun pictures every day when we were gone. Highly recommended.”
“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Carla and her family are amazing! I would absolutely leave Cooper with her again. She sent so many photos and videos, it was nice to know how Cooper was doing. Great family, great communication, and Cooper had a great time!”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Jessica took great care of Avery. She was boarding another rat terrier at the same time and took steps to ensure the two dogs got along at feeding time. Her daughter made sure Avery got lots of love and exercise. She came home happy & healthy. Overall it was a great experience.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our senior frenchie, Duke. He had a great time and I had no doubt he was in great hands while we were out of town. Marta was quick to respond to messages and sent great pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“Jen took great care of my dogs for 5 days. She sent me updates and pictures every day. One of the dogs had an upset stomach and Jen kept me up to date on how she was doing. She cared for them like her own dog!! I will be booking with her again. I highly recommend!!”
“Carolyn was fantastic with our dog Ace during our 5 day long vacation! She sent daily photos and updates, followed his routine perfectly, gave him plenty of walks and playtime. Ace came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely book Carolyn again soon!”
“Cheryl and Jim were great! Bear came back home and hasn't shown one sign of boarding adjustment. Cheryl also sent daily messages on how Bear was doing and some pictures showing him relaxed and happy, which was of great comfort to me. I will definitely use them again!”
“Once again, Derek and his family were an incredible Rover family for Bear. They had him for 10 days, which is a long time, but I got pictures from Derek almost every day and he let me know that Bear was doing great. It made our long vacation even better knowing that he was being well cared for. I can’t thank Derek and his family enough for being Bear’s home away from home.”
“We had a two and a half week vacation planned to Japan and boarded Mochi with Dickson. I'm always quite nervous and anxious whenever I have to leave Mochi anywhere, let alone somewhere for over two weeks, but Dickson was very friendly and made it so I had nothing to worry about! He took care of Mochi really well and sent regular updates. When we picked her up, she came back happy and tired and loved. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“Cheyenne was AMAZING! We called her at the very last moment. We discovered that our dog was hurt in the last place where he boarded. They didn't even notice it. I had to cancel my reservation with them at the very last moment and asked Cheyenne is she could take him. She took excellent care of Moby. She went above and beyond her duties as she helped us with his wounds and putting medication to avoid infection. When we picked him up, Moby was happy and full of energy (in the last place, we picked him up and he was sad and not playful). She has a strong connection with dogs. You can trust her as she has experience as a vet technician. Thanks Cheyenne!”
“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Jill provided for our dog, Mia! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Mia was in such loving and capable hands. Jill went above and beyond to ensure Mia was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during our time away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which made us feel connected to Mia even when we were apart. You can tell that Jill is a true animal lover—her attention to detail and commitment to our dog's well-being was evident in everything she did. Mia absolutely adored her, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Jill is the one! Highly recommend!”
“Kota has anxiety and a lot of energy! Autumn was so great with her! She made sure she could go on walks, spoiled her with pumpkin lick mats, gave her a pretty bandana. I’ve already told family about her and how they need to book with her. She will definitely be who we use moving forward for our animals. Thank you again Autumn!”
“Our dogs had an excellent stay with JoAnne. They were loved on and treated like part of the family. I truly felt like I’d left them in the caring hands of friends. She sent us several pictures of them throughout the week with reports of the fun they were having and didn’t seem to have any trouble with their weird quirks of barking at the tv or cowering at thunder. I would definitely book here again and recommend to all my friends with dogs.”
“Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!”

“Sheri definitely lives up to her name… the cat whisperer! She did amazing with my cat and gave her ear medicine that she needed while I was away. It was so reassuring to know that my cat was in good hands while I was away. I also LOVED the pictures that Sheri sent of my cat. Awesome bonus of this entire experience!”
“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”
“Alyssa did an awesome job watching our two cats for the weekend! She was super communicative and sent tons of updates. The cats loved her and we’d absolutely have her stay with them again! :)”
“Rachael was our first experience with Rover, and honestly so long as she’s on the platform I don’t see us booking with anyone else. Her updates were adorable, and you could immediately tell that she has a true love for the animals in her care and their individual needs. Do not hesitate!”
“Alphonse was accurate in his care details, attentive to our pets and they took to him nicely. Job well done. I'm also glad he asked pertinent questions when necessary. I would definitely request his services again.”
About: I am really patient with animals and all animals seem to love me even though if I just met them! I am workable too! I can handle big dogs too! I would pretty much open for the rest of January!! But soon I’ll be back in college full time and work full time but I would still be open to doing some pet sitting or dog walking! I have two cats and we feed them, play with them, bath them, we also cut there nails! I also had a black lab around 110 pounds I would take him on walks, feed him, and I was in the process of helping him overcome some of the shelter life he picked up!
“Samantha was wonderful. She went above and beyond. She stayed in constant communication with me. Sent me silly and lovely pictures of my babies. Dealt with a last minute booking on my part. I could not ask of a better person to watch my girls (3 cats) I trusted her completely.”
About: Growing up my family raised German Shepard in France. I was surrounded by puppies and adults until my 20s. I trained and took care of them. I also took closer of a cat fir 5+years.

At home I have a fenced yard and 2 other dogs plus a foster. I have all necessary toys and can go on many walks. My preference would be to take care of dogs at client’s home.
“Alexandra was great with both of my cats. She was very caring, she was on time and she spent quality time with them both. I felt she went above and beyond of what I expected from a sitter. When I got home, my cats seemed very happy. The photos she sent me were great! I know my cats loved her!”

I have been caring for dogs all my life and it is something I take great pride in. I understand the importance of walking, exercising and proper attention to feeding schedules and water intake. Every dog is a new friend! I work from home and always have time for a four legged friend in need. Whether it be a walk or a drop in visit, my schedule is flexible. Please just message me with a time & date and we could work something out. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, so there is plenty of space to explore outside. I will ensure your pet is leashed if there is no fence at your home as well as going on a walk. I would care for your best friend as if I was in my own home. I will ensure your pet is shown love, well fed, and appropriately exercised. Trust is a two way street along with respect and humility.

After meeting Florian for the first time, we had great confidence in leaving our cherished pups in his care for walks and visits.

About: I grew up on a farm, and ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals. I’m a grandma with plenty of free time, and I would love to welcome your dog into our family while you are away. Since my grandchildren visit, please let me know if your dog does not get along with kids. Currently, I have a Frenchie and a mini Schnauzer who is paralyzed. They love other dogs, but I do have baby gates to keep them separate if needed. Owning a paralyzed dog has taught me a lot over the past couple of years. If your pet requires any special care, i am more than happy to accommodate their needs. I am never gone for longer than couple hours at a time. I have a very open schedule so your pet with get lots of attention. I will welcome your pet into our family and treat them as if they were our own. Please share your dog’s daily routine, and I will follow it to ensure they feel at home. I understand how stressful it can be when an owner is away, so I’ll make sure to give your dog extra attention, exercise, and love to ease their anxiety and make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I have baby gates and can provide your dog with space away from kids and my dogs if needed. I will take your dog on walks and provide off-leash time in our backyard as well. If your pet requires medication, I am happy to administer it.
About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that goes along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.

I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for a gap year and fitting in Rover during my free weekends. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!

“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Carla and her family are amazing! I would absolutely leave Cooper with her again. She sent so many photos and videos, it was nice to know how Cooper was doing. Great family, great communication, and Cooper had a great time!”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Jen took great care of my dogs for 5 days. She sent me updates and pictures every day. One of the dogs had an upset stomach and Jen kept me up to date on how she was doing. She cared for them like her own dog!! I will be booking with her again. I highly recommend!!”
“Carolyn was fantastic with our dog Ace during our 5 day long vacation! She sent daily photos and updates, followed his routine perfectly, gave him plenty of walks and playtime. Ace came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely book Carolyn again soon!”
“Cheryl and Jim were great! Bear came back home and hasn't shown one sign of boarding adjustment. Cheryl also sent daily messages on how Bear was doing and some pictures showing him relaxed and happy, which was of great comfort to me. I will definitely use them again!”
“Once again, Derek and his family were an incredible Rover family for Bear. They had him for 10 days, which is a long time, but I got pictures from Derek almost every day and he let me know that Bear was doing great. It made our long vacation even better knowing that he was being well cared for. I can’t thank Derek and his family enough for being Bear’s home away from home.”
“We had a two and a half week vacation planned to Japan and boarded Mochi with Dickson. I'm always quite nervous and anxious whenever I have to leave Mochi anywhere, let alone somewhere for over two weeks, but Dickson was very friendly and made it so I had nothing to worry about! He took care of Mochi really well and sent regular updates. When we picked her up, she came back happy and tired and loved. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“Cheyenne was AMAZING! We called her at the very last moment. We discovered that our dog was hurt in the last place where he boarded. They didn't even notice it. I had to cancel my reservation with them at the very last moment and asked Cheyenne is she could take him. She took excellent care of Moby. She went above and beyond her duties as she helped us with his wounds and putting medication to avoid infection. When we picked him up, Moby was happy and full of energy (in the last place, we picked him up and he was sad and not playful). She has a strong connection with dogs. You can trust her as she has experience as a vet technician. Thanks Cheyenne!”
“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Jill provided for our dog, Mia! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Mia was in such loving and capable hands. Jill went above and beyond to ensure Mia was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during our time away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which made us feel connected to Mia even when we were apart. You can tell that Jill is a true animal lover—her attention to detail and commitment to our dog's well-being was evident in everything she did. Mia absolutely adored her, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Jill is the one! Highly recommend!”
“Kota has anxiety and a lot of energy! Autumn was so great with her! She made sure she could go on walks, spoiled her with pumpkin lick mats, gave her a pretty bandana. I’ve already told family about her and how they need to book with her. She will definitely be who we use moving forward for our animals. Thank you again Autumn!”
“Our dogs had an excellent stay with JoAnne. They were loved on and treated like part of the family. I truly felt like I’d left them in the caring hands of friends. She sent us several pictures of them throughout the week with reports of the fun they were having and didn’t seem to have any trouble with their weird quirks of barking at the tv or cowering at thunder. I would definitely book here again and recommend to all my friends with dogs.”
“Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!”
“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”
“Fantastic dog sitter and boarding service for our lab. This was the first time our dog stayed outside our house. Victoria and her family went beyond our expectations to welcome, take care of and actually spoil our girl ! Highly recommend Victoria who truly loves dogs and is an amazing sitter. Her home and family made for a fabulous stay !”
