Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lickskillet
“Odette was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Fozzie. She sent me photos & videos of him happy and playing in the yard and with her dog, I was worried my dog wouldn’t want to come home! Great communication, would highly recommend! ☺️”
“I always trust my baby with Jessica. He loves her so much, he didn’t want to leave this time, that’s how I know he’s well taken care of. I never worry when I drop him off.”
“Hope was phenomenal and we will absolutely use her again! Any concern of mine was addressed promptly, concerns of hers were brought to my attention right away, and she sent plenty of updates and pictures. Thabk you!”
“Moneissa really does a great job at making both pet and parent feel comfortable! As someone who always feels uneasy leaving their dog with someone else, I was fully confident my dog was in great care with Moneissa. If you love solid updates and reassurance, she is the sitter for you! Eevee had so much fun during her stay and will be visiting again!”
“We are so grateful to have found such an amazing dog sitter! This is the third time Jennifer has taken care of our dog, Coco, and every single experience has been wonderful. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such loving, capable hands. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We always receive updates, pictures, and little check-ins that reassure us everything is going great. Our dog is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur baby, but after three stays, we can confidently say she is dependable, caring, and absolutely fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again (and will continue to!). Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Marquia was amazing!! She kept our pup for 4 nights and our girl had the best time!!! Marquia was flexible and very communicative. I had every confidence that our pup was being very well taken care of and didn’t worry about her a single time while we were away. I would recommend Marquia to anyone and will definitely book with her again!!”
“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“Lydia was great with Bogie. Although he was anxious of being away from home she was patient with him and kept me updated on his stay. Would recommend her and Bogie will be going back next month for another stay.”
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“So kind, consistent updates & returned my moody husky better trained than upon arrival. Can not say enough kind things about this rover. Home was nice, fenced in yard & he even made friends.”
“She was amazing! She handled my doggo so well and took such good care of him! We got constant updates and a multitude of pictures and videos. She is very well rehearsed in handling dogs!”
“Fantastic Rover host! Jessica communicated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Jennifer was amazing! Our golden doodle stayed with her over Christmas and sent pictures everyday and updated us on our boy (even on christmas)! When we picked him up, he was happy as can be, would definitely bring him back!”
About: Hello! I am a dog parent to an 8-year-old bully named Boss. I've been raised with furry friends my entire life, mostly dogs and cats, but a few bunnies too! As a pet parent, I understand the overwhelming anxiety one experiences when it's time to board your furry friend. Rest assured, your fur baby will get the time and attention they deserve. I work a flexible schedule to ensure someone will always be present. I do have a 4-year-old daughter who is just as much of a furry friend lover as I am! She just completed a pet study in school and is very gentle and respectful with Boss. I can administer medications if needed, as I have to do that for Boss. I have a 2-acre property which includes a fenced-in section. I would love to welcome your furry friend into my home and give you the peace of mind in knowing your best friend is being loved while you're away. I’m at home during the day and have flexibility with my work schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the quality time they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and my Boss is crate trained. I also have two acres perfect for enjoyable walks and very minimal traffic on my street.
“Heather goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful to have her watch Bella when we are out of town. I feel like it’s a home, away from home for her. It’s a quiet, but fun environment. Bella loves playing with Heather’s dogs and running in her fenced in backyard. Heather treats Bella like her own.”
“First of all, let me apologize for not posting this review sooner (it has been quite a crazy several weeks in my household since Maggie's stay way back in early July lol). We planned one long family/summer birthdays beach trip this summer for the kids before they start school for the first time this August. I guess the Rover.com gods decided to bless us with one of the best sitters we've ever had for our dog Maggie, because Savana is the real deal! Not only was she able to care for Maggie for our entire trip length (July 6-12) in her loving household with a great, supportive hubby and a super cute baby boy to keep Maggie company, but she even was kind enough to give our beagle some of her beagle's dog food for the last day of her stay (I had mismeasured the amount of food:trip days I bagged for Maggie, being off by a day, whoops!). On top of keeping us posted with tons of cute pictures/videos, Savana was also great about keeping us posted on how Maggie did around any other dogs that get dropped off for doggie daycare from time to time at her house as well, which I greatly appreciated. Sometimes it's hit or miss with how Maggie acts around other dogs she doesn't know, which Savana was very understanding and definitely put my mind at ease with Maggie's dog interactions. I told her she could spoil Maggie if she wanted to, and Savana did not disappoint lol; I think that dog was in dog heaven she looked so happy and content everyday over there lol! Knowing that Savana is a great lover of animals, especially dogs, I knew Maggie was in good hands and had no worries our entire trip about her well-being, since we knew she was being loved on and cared for 100%. I would highly recommend Savana's services for whatever you and your pets need, and I can guarantee you will never be disappointed picking this sitter. And shoutout to her hubby for also being flexible enough to get off work a little early than normal to be in place at home for us to pick up Maggie as soon as we came off the highway on the 12th, when Savana unfortunately couldn't be present that day to say her goodbyes to Maggie and for us to thank Savana in person. But believe me folks when I tell you, Savana you the real MVP girl! Thank you for welcoming Maggie into your home, and just thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding with our family's hectic schedule that week, and just thank you for everything! Hope to use your services again and again in the near future!!”
“Jessica communicated so well all week while watching our baby! I was nervous to leave him for so long but she sent updates and pictures and answered so fast!! Would recommend her for the anxious doggy parents and will book again!!!”

“Jennifer was fantastic. She saved me from a last minute work trip and was able to help me out without any issues at all. Her communication is fabulous and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have 3 cats of my own currently living with me who are all in perfect health, and my senior cat (from my college years) is living the retired life at my parent’s lake house, so he’s still doing great too! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats. I am comfortable giving my cats any type of medicine, even the one that fights me the most on any kind of medicine, haha!
“Ariana was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, professional, and clearly experienced. Communication was great throughout the entire booking, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. She also provided helpful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my pet was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Rhonda was excellent!! I was so nervous leaving my cats but I was able to relax knowing everything was taken care of. She did everything I asked her to do and even got my mail! She sent daily updates and pictures! I will definitely use her again!!!!”
“Ayla was so sweet and genuine with our cat Miso and us! This was our first time using Rover and she was very responsive to any questions and followed all instructions that were given! So glad to have someone trustworthy to watch over our special girl :)”
About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant through Orange-Ulster BOCES with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
“Carly is the best!! She was very responsive and accommodating in the booking process, and during her visits she was so loving to my cat Dill - including lots of snuggles and play time!”
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for my own dogs, as well as family, friends, and neighbors’ pets, and I truly love making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old Black Lab, Raven, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. Your pup will have a built in buddy for playtime and companionship! I have a spacious home with a basement that is comfortably set up for dogs, and I’m happy to welcome pups onto the furniture because I believe dogs deserve to feel at home (my couch has washable covers). My backyard is partially fenced, and I’m also close to a beautiful Greenway where I love taking dogs for walks and adventures. I also live 3 minutes from Rovers dog park! I understand every dog has their own personality and needs. I have the space and ability to give dogs their own areas or separate them when needed, so every pup can feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during their stay. I also have a membership at Urban Dog Bar in Nashville and love giving dogs fun experiences beyond just sitting at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes your dog happiest. Your pup will be treated like family here with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs included! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m home most weekends and work remotely every Monday and Friday, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work from the office, but I have a consistent routine. I make sure dogs get outside in the morning before I leave, as soon as I’m home, and again before bedtime. I’m also able to provide a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax while I’m away. My backyard is fenced in on three sides and is a decent size for dogs to enjoy. I do let my own dog roam freely, but I completely understand that not every dog is comfortable or safe doing that. I have a running cable available if needed, and I’m also happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. I also have a basement that is separated into two spaces with dog gates, a large dog kennel if needed, and an upstairs area that can be separated with another doggy gate to help create a safe and comfortable space. From one dog mom to another, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in a safe environment with a trusted human. I want every dog in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.
“Tyler was great with me and my cat! She gave updates and did a great job making sure our animals acclimated to each other well. Made sure my cat had lots of attention and care.”
About: I absolutely adore cats 🐈 . I have four of my own, all adopted from shelters or through Facebook adoptions 🎁 . I understand their needs and desires. 💞 I never pry for their attention, as I know it can be stressful for them when a new face enters their space. 🧐 I promise to provide your cats with the best care and do my best to understand them. 🤗 🥰

We are conveniently located, approximately 10 minutes from I-65 and the Scottsville rd exit (Exit 22), with lots of space to be a dog!
About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.
“Kayla was amazing! I needed a sitter very last minute and she was perfect. She was prompt in answering the booking request and any messages. She took amazing care of my crazy pups and made sure to keep me updated on how they were doing and made sure everyone ate and went potty. Will 100% be using her again!”
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

Our dogs snuggled up and were very comfortable for their afternoon stay. She is a very caring and kind person who loves what she does! Doggies are well cared for and spoiled with love. It can be hard to connect with sitters and trust but you don’t have to hesitate with Emily & Austin. They make them part of the family!!!”

We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am.

About: Experienced Pet Caregiver with Hands-On Puppy Raising Experience, Reliable Feeding and Walking Schedules, and a Strong Commitment to Loving, Attentive Pet Care. Dogs have been apart of my daily routine my entire life so any aspect of taking care of them has been experienced by me! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and experience caring for animals every day. I recently graduated from undergrad and am free all summer before starting graduate school, so I have plenty of time to give pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets in clients’ homes while following their routines closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I also have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understanding their needs.
About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. At a very young age I fell in awe with my four legged friends! I have cared for my own dogs from puppies till their senior years of life, with care and compassion. I have three amazing dogs currently one is young (Shasta) and the two are my seniors (Phelan and Joey). I have rescued most of my pets, and I have had the ability to train and rehabilitate some. Every single one of them have always had the utmost care, love and respect individually, no matter the breed. I am currently working as a mobile notary and set my own schedule, which allows me the flexibility and time needed to meet the needs of pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to trust someone other than yourself to meet the needs and care of your fur babies. I will follow your directions and guidance to always make sure that I am meeting the specific requirements of care and need for each one of your pets individually. Communication is key!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 17 and enjoyed everything about it to daily walks, daily play time, nap time, etc:) I currently work part time as a nurse in a hospital near Nashville! I am going back to school to become a PA. I love taking care of peoples animals on the side:) My surrealism shepherd gets special treatment. I take care of him by giving him daily walks, healthy food, supplements, and making sure he gets the best sleep!
About: I have taken care of my own pets (cats & dogs) as well as for neighbors, friends, and family most of my life and I will always treat them like my own. My own black lab fur baby is a senior girl. I've had her since she was a pup, so I have experience with all stages of life with dogs. I also have 2 cats and love playtime & snuggling with them (on their own terms of course). I am doing Rover exclusively for the time being, so my schedule is very open 7 days a week. I can do feedings, potty breaks, play time & exercise periodically throughout the day as needed. I have no problem with boarding/overnight stays anytime as well! I am a responsible pet parent, and I will always treat your fur babies like they are my own. I treat them how I would want mine to be treated if I were using these services. I will always follow your directions for feeding, rules, & boundaries. You can trust that your babies will be safe and have a fun time while you are away!

I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions and meet you and your pets! 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the pets I work with. I have a very flexible availability, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day—whether that means morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, evening visits, or extended stays. I’m able to adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment that helps every pet feel secure and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I always take the time to learn your pet’s likes, dislikes, and comfort needs so they feel right at home.
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

“It was great having Noel to walk Kona. She had very good communication with us getting this walk set up and is very polite, kind, and respectful. Our dog had no reservation about meeting her and going on the walk with here. I highly recommend Noel for her services.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
“Kayla is wonderful with our Dottie girl! Dottie is so excited to see her. She is a new pup and Kayla is so patient, kind and playful with her! Kayla is incredibly communicative, she is always timely and gives us such peace of mind knowing our Dottie is in great hands! We feel so fortunate to get to work with Kayla!”
About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a online college student with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I am able to dedicate focused time to each pet I care for. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, spending time caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical needs so I can provide consistent care while their owner is away. I closely monitor pets for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and ensure they are always in a safe environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean, calm, and secure.
About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

“I always trust my baby with Jessica. He loves her so much, he didn’t want to leave this time, that’s how I know he’s well taken care of. I never worry when I drop him off.”
“Hope was phenomenal and we will absolutely use her again! Any concern of mine was addressed promptly, concerns of hers were brought to my attention right away, and she sent plenty of updates and pictures. Thabk you!”
“Moneissa really does a great job at making both pet and parent feel comfortable! As someone who always feels uneasy leaving their dog with someone else, I was fully confident my dog was in great care with Moneissa. If you love solid updates and reassurance, she is the sitter for you! Eevee had so much fun during her stay and will be visiting again!”
“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“So kind, consistent updates & returned my moody husky better trained than upon arrival. Can not say enough kind things about this rover. Home was nice, fenced in yard & he even made friends.”
“She was amazing! She handled my doggo so well and took such good care of him! We got constant updates and a multitude of pictures and videos. She is very well rehearsed in handling dogs!”
“Fantastic Rover host! Jessica communicated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Jennifer was amazing! Our golden doodle stayed with her over Christmas and sent pictures everyday and updated us on our boy (even on christmas)! When we picked him up, he was happy as can be, would definitely bring him back!”
“Heather goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful to have her watch Bella when we are out of town. I feel like it’s a home, away from home for her. It’s a quiet, but fun environment. Bella loves playing with Heather’s dogs and running in her fenced in backyard. Heather treats Bella like her own.”
“First of all, let me apologize for not posting this review sooner (it has been quite a crazy several weeks in my household since Maggie's stay way back in early July lol). We planned one long family/summer birthdays beach trip this summer for the kids before they start school for the first time this August. I guess the Rover.com gods decided to bless us with one of the best sitters we've ever had for our dog Maggie, because Savana is the real deal! Not only was she able to care for Maggie for our entire trip length (July 6-12) in her loving household with a great, supportive hubby and a super cute baby boy to keep Maggie company, but she even was kind enough to give our beagle some of her beagle's dog food for the last day of her stay (I had mismeasured the amount of food:trip days I bagged for Maggie, being off by a day, whoops!). On top of keeping us posted with tons of cute pictures/videos, Savana was also great about keeping us posted on how Maggie did around any other dogs that get dropped off for doggie daycare from time to time at her house as well, which I greatly appreciated. Sometimes it's hit or miss with how Maggie acts around other dogs she doesn't know, which Savana was very understanding and definitely put my mind at ease with Maggie's dog interactions. I told her she could spoil Maggie if she wanted to, and Savana did not disappoint lol; I think that dog was in dog heaven she looked so happy and content everyday over there lol! Knowing that Savana is a great lover of animals, especially dogs, I knew Maggie was in good hands and had no worries our entire trip about her well-being, since we knew she was being loved on and cared for 100%. I would highly recommend Savana's services for whatever you and your pets need, and I can guarantee you will never be disappointed picking this sitter. And shoutout to her hubby for also being flexible enough to get off work a little early than normal to be in place at home for us to pick up Maggie as soon as we came off the highway on the 12th, when Savana unfortunately couldn't be present that day to say her goodbyes to Maggie and for us to thank Savana in person. But believe me folks when I tell you, Savana you the real MVP girl! Thank you for welcoming Maggie into your home, and just thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding with our family's hectic schedule that week, and just thank you for everything! Hope to use your services again and again in the near future!!”
“Jessica communicated so well all week while watching our baby! I was nervous to leave him for so long but she sent updates and pictures and answered so fast!! Would recommend her for the anxious doggy parents and will book again!!!”
“James was amazing! He kept me updated about my dog while I was out of town and took very good care of him. James is very trustworthy and I will bring my dog to him anytime I need someone to watch my dog.”
“Very happy with my dog's stay. She was patient with me asking her to baby my 60 lb poodle. She was flexible with my pickup time, I was flying, and went above and beyond for us!”
“Morgan and her family were amazing! They honestly went above and beyond with caring for Blue. She sent so much lovely photos and a couple of videos showing that he was having a really good time in their home with their dogs and kiddos. She even pointed out a few things that he can use some help on when we asked. If we ever needed to go out of town again Morgan would absolutely be the first person we asked. She clearly cares deeply for her dogs and her family and it translated really incredibly to how she cared for our boy.”
“Sara was awesome! Our pup was made right at home inside her house. He had other dogs to play with, and made some new friends. Sara was easy to contact, and quick to reply! I will definitely be using her boarding services again.”
“Cameron was a wonderful caretaker of my pup! He was so happy to have so much loving attention and fun playtime with Beau. It was awesome to find the perfect solution to my need. Thanks!”
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
