“Colette was absolutely wonderful. Winnie loved her! Her fenced in backyard is perfect for a small dog who loves to feel “free”! She sent us multiple photos and updates. We’d definitely use her again!”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Jim and Mal we appreciate you so much. Thank you for always taking the greatest care of our pupper. He is turning 6 next year and he we know his life is better for having you guys in it. Merry Christmas and thank you for watching him while we were away. We loved his soccer video you shared with us and are buying him a soccer ball so he can show us his skills.”
“We have utilized Michael’s services a number of times now. He does a great job! Our pups always come home happy and in good health. Michael is our go to man when we need a pet sitter. It is comforting to know they are in a home setting. Thanks, Michael!”
“Major had a fantastic experience with Viki. I’m pretty sure he was sad to leave her! She asked lots of questions to make sure he acclimated quickly, and sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. Major doesn’t love the bigger boarding facilities, so this was perfect for him. We will certainly be sending Major back to Viki when we travel!”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“I went through 4 pet sitters, and Sue is the best pet sitter out of those 4, she send pics to us every day while we on vacation so we don’t feel like missing our pet at the same time make us worryless, we definitely come back to her when we are on vacation again”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”
“Paola gave regular updates and pictures throughout the stay. My puppy seemed comfortable and happy during her stay! Paola has a beautiful yard for plenty of exercise for dogs during their stay”
“Melissa took great care of my dogs. They were able to get lots of exercise in her safely enclosed yard. Melissa was great with communication and sending photos of my pets. She was also willing to work with us on drop off and pick up times. Nicely done Melissa we appreciate it!”
“Would highly recommend her. I left my dog with her for 10 days initially than extended to 12 days. She is prompt on responses and accommodating any special request. I am definitely going back to her”
“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Sabrina is truly a blessing ! She took our big Bernedoodle puppy last minute, and he had a wonderful time ! He is a non stop kind of puppy, and her home as well as her property were great for him to get lots of movement. Sabrina sent photos and updates regularly, and was so patient with Asgard. We are appreciative of the gentleness in her care and her personal policy of not taking more than two dogs at a time. We can’t wait for Asgard to visit again- thank you ??!”

About: If I spot a cat, chances are I'm heading over to say hello! Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I absolutely adore spending time with them. I've been caring for cats for many years, including my own as well as the cats of friends, family members, and coworkers. Whether they're playful, chatty, shy, or happiest curled up in a sunny spot, I love getting to know them and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm also a proud cat parent to a sweet kitty with asthma, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to a cat's individual needs and provide extra care when needed. Caring for him has taught me patience, attentiveness, and just how much trust our feline friends place in us. From playtime and treats to quiet cuddles and companionship, I'll care for your cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for while you're away! I would be sure to send you plenty of updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 🐾💕
“Bill did a fabulous job of caring for our cats -- going above and beyond to fulfill their needs and give them every scrap of attention they could possibly desire! I appreciated the detailed check-in notes after every visit, as well as the photos and notes about anything extra they might need that I hadn't prepped ahead of time (thanks for hunting for toys for them among the dog toys!). We will definitely be asking Bill to watch them again the next time we are away :)”
“Abbi did a great job stepping in last minute to look after my kitty, Cho. She spent time getting to know Cho during her visits and sent me cute photos of them playing. I recommend Abbi as a very responsible kitty sitter!”
About: I absolutely adore cats, I have 3 of my own, 2 of which have health issues so I’ve been able to administer many different medication types to them. I’ve volunteered with a shelter for a few months, so I’ve handled a wide variety of personalities and care levels of cats. I will take the time to play and enrich your cat and make sure they are comfortable and stress free while you’re away!
“Jessica is a very competent and caring sitter. Toby was having some health and mobility issues and she treated him wonderfully and kept me informed on his condition. I recommend Jessica and will call her again.”
About: I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment for cats while their owners are away. I understand that cats need patience, routine, and a quiet space to feel comfortable. My home offers a peaceful setting where your cat can relax at their own pace without pressure. I am attentive to each cat’s personality, whether they are shy, independent, or affectionate. I make sure they have a clean, safe space, fresh food and water, and gentle care. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your cat is safe and well cared for. Your cat will be treated with patience, respect, and kindness at all times.
“Katie always does such a good job taking care of my fur babies while I’m away. She treats them as they were her own. I feel comfortable & confident they’re getting the best care.”
“James and Mallory took great care of Dagger and sent me tons of updates! It was wonderful to know he was so loved and cared for when we were away. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great dogsitter!”
“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”
“Becca was fantastic! We had a weekend getaway planned and our regular house sitter got sick. Becca was great - if I could give her more stars I would! I will be adding her in to our regular rotation!”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs at home and have watched many family pets. I have experience with some exotic animals and am willing to care for them as well.

“Rachel is fantastic! We knew we were in good hands starting with the meet and greet. Really took time to get to know us and our pup Tony. Very responsive and flexible regarding our plans, and patient and helpful! Then for the day of the walk she provided updates about our dog and I know they had a great time together! Our dog was in excellent spirits when we returned. We were nervous since we hadn’t had a walker come in years, but all fears were put aside with Rachel. Can’t recommend enough. She brings passion and care to her work!”

“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was in need of last second care, she went out of her way to send me updates and photos throughout the day which I greatly appreciated as well as picking up and dropping off my baby. She’s a saint!”
“Zulma was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to allow Russell to get acquainted with his surroundings and safely meet her dog, Luna, who was a great teacher and playmate for him. We were so impressed by her understanding of dog behavior and especially her insight into Russell’s behavior and skin condition. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Russell in her care, and we would highly recommend her!”
“My dog loved it with them. With a new puppy I felt comfortable leaving her with them, and the did a great job with her. Loved the updates throughout the day. Will use them again as I feel safe leaving my puppy with them”
“Colette was very sweet with my Nala. She was very nice and sent pictures and status of Nala during the day. Nala was very happy with Colette and had a great time staying with her. We loved the experience and we will book her again.”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
About: Hello! I’ve been professionally caring for animals since I was 12 years old and got my first dog sitting gig. Over the years, my family has had every kind of pet: horses, sheep, dogs, cats, birds, iguanas even! I find great joy in showing the animals I work with lots of love and guidance. I’ve trained my own and others' horses, dogs and cats over the years and it’s just the most rewarding experience. I work part time and mostly from home which allows me to be available all day to care for pets. I’m a big fan of a consistent routine with animals rotating stimulation (exercise, play, training or enrichment) meals, rest and balancing the three. I care for pets on my property which is almost entirely fenced in. I have professional kennels in a mixed use building with a residential portion attached. So I have the luxury of providing secure and roomy kennels with the addition of our cozy home area. I can take most types of pets and I’m especially suited to care for animals that do not do well in large boarding facilities, don’t do well with other pets or just want a more personalized, quiet boarding experience. I don’t believe it is always necessary to socialize dogs with dogs and right now that’s not something I do (unless they are boarding from the same owners). I focus on routine, a bit of training and connection with humans! I have a fenced in run where dogs can be off leash for playing, enrichment etc. I designed our kennels myself and had them custom built. Each stall is separated by concrete walls to provide a private and safe space. I chose mental fencing for the top of the partition and the door. I chose this instead of the plastic, glass or solid door options because it provides optimal airflow and allows them to see out. I also have private suites separate from that area.
About: I'll care for your pet like it's my own, and will provide ample ear scritches and snuggles as needed while they miss you during your time away. Our dogs share the couch and family spaces with us, but are crate trained as well. We go for walks daily and have playtime in the yard every 2-3 hours during the day if the weather is appropriate. We have two dogs, and an elderly cat that keeps to himself. Our yard is about an acre on a quiet dead end road and we have an electric fence for our pups, but can of course use leashes and leads as well!
“Keri and Amy were wonderful! They went above and beyond to help make sure Russell was comfortable. I really appreciated the time and effort they took to give him and their dog Jax enough time and space to get acquainted. Russell, unfortunately, didn’t get along with Jax, but Keri and Amy still were willing to watch him for us and keep them separated during his stay. They did so much more than I was expecting, and I am so grateful!”
About: I’ve volunteered at Dakin so my expertise is felines. I have rehabilitated, fostered, trained, and socialized any type of cat or kitten. Believe me, they’re just like dogs. My partner and I are both on-call medical professionals so one of us is always home during the week days. I’m at home during the weekends studying for school. Our time is very flexible! It’s best to keep pets separated until a day or two if they come into my home and then there’s a meet and greet. Otherwise, a meet and greet is essentially a day before before entering into their domain.
About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.
“I'm always a little nervous leaving my boy Blu with new people since he can be a little shy, but I could tell he had a great time hanging out at Melissa's for the afternoon. I received updates and pics of him happily running around her yard with her dog, and making himself maybe a little too comfortable on her sofa. I would not hesitate to entrust her with his care in the future. Highly recommend.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including rodents, farm animals, dogs, and cats. I’ve lived in a dog-filled home for over 10 years and have extensive experience with bully breeds. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and provide patient, loving, and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Book now for a peace of mind and wagging tails ! Feel free to message and reach out by phone Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my everyday life. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are built into my schedule, not rushed or squeezed in. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home while in my care. Fenced in yard on 3 acres of open land. I spend a lot of time outside with my dogs. I can make sure your pets are in a loving caring and attentive environment
“Elizabeth was amazing with our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved all day long. She sent photos of them playing and having fun throughout the day as well. We will definitely be using her again and are so glad to have found someone we trust with our babies!”

“Jackie has been a godsend to both my and puppy. Seriously wouldn’t know what we would do with out her. She has beenvery invested to helping me figure out his needs as he adjusted to being in a new home and crate. She treats my home well and will even give the cat a little love too.”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, starting with my own pets and eventually helping care for the pets of family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and building loving friendships with each one. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm also a proud cat owner, and caring for my own cat has given me firsthand experience in providing attentive, daily care and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have full time employment as a classroom teacher! I am now on summer break so I will have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets!☺️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also keep their space clean, fresh, and stress-free, and I always provide updates with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. For dogs, I enjoy going on long, engaging walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. For cats, I focus on gentle care, play, and respecting their comfort level—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship.
“Becca was amazing! This was the first time we left our big old dog home when traveling. He's getting older and, during our last trip, showed some separation anxiety when we would go out for the day. Between that and a longer drive than he's used to, we figured he would be happier at home with his Auntie taking care of him. Becca came everyday for a walk, making things easier on Auntie and giving our social guy more humans to interact with, lol. Becca sent great updates and photos all week! We could genuinely see them bonding as the week progressed. He went from dragging her back inside at the end of the walk because he was hot and lazy (lol) to getting pep in his step and prancing back in the house because he knew it was treat time, and from coming when she called to running to greet her when he heard her car pull in. Extra bonus, she always gave our cat treats and loves at the end of the walk as well ❤️ Thanks Becca!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and previously volunteered at an animal shelter where I cared for dogs. I have experience dog sitting for various people over the years and can also administer medication. I’m currently working full time with weekends and holidays off. I arrive back home around 5pm. Anytime I’m not at work, I’m available to provide care! I have stayed at clients houses before to dog sit. I’m comfortable following all directions and am able to meet all reasonable accommodations to include playtime, picking up poop, and crating them.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a baby, mostly large dogs so I know how to handle them and care for them. I’m able to administer medication if necessary, and I’m patient and attentive, so I can make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I understand each pet has their own personality and routine, so I always follow owners instructions carefully to minimize stress and keep things consistent. I currently work full time as a bartender, so my mornings and early afternoons are totally open for any care. Nights are a little harder as I get out pretty late. I have 3 cats of my own, I have to administer medication to one of them twice a day, and monitor his litter box use as he has chronic urinary blockages. I am able to feed, clean litter, walk and play with clients pets.

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life, by 8 years old I had 5 pets to care for. Comfortable around all dogs and cats. Very much a pet person! I currently work a full time job but I can definitely make a schedule that accommodates to your fur baby whether it be walks, check ins, companion time or whatever else I may be able to help with! I am not offering at home care for pets just yet, not able to provide the space in my current home. hoping to very soon.
About: I am very open in my schedule and absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with at least one dog in my home my whole life and now own my own black lab mix. To me, pets are family! I have been a nanny for many years and all of the families have also had dogs that I would take care of simultaneously. I also worked for a few families to care for their dogs in the past assisting with feedings, play time, and walks. I have some experience training using a clicker as I have trained my own dog and know of little tricks. Dogs brighten up my day and I love being around them whenever I can. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as all other animals. I have been doing this full time for about a year and a half, and am excited to continue! I am always accepting new clients and am working on becoming a certified dog trainer. I am currently pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very open depending on my bookings. I have current dog walks mid-day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and those are my only repeat clients weekly. I offer caring for pets in my client’s homes and always make sure to ask about fenced in yards, typical behaviors of the dog, any behaviors I need to watch out for for instance if a dog resource guards or is aggressive with other dogs or people, allergies, and any other precautions I need to be aware of to safely, effectively, and empathetically to take care of the animal. I also only do walks on sidewalks or non busy roads when possible.
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I remember. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years. Any family pets we've had (cats, dogs, and horses) have lived all the way up to their senior years (and even passed the "intended age range" of their breed). I'm working full time from Wednesday to Saturday 1 pm to 11:30 pm. But I'm available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If it's just to walk your pet or drop in, I can come over before work. I can house sit starting Sunday, but can't stay until I have to go to work Wednesday. I absolutely love pets and will treat them like my own. I can't board or take them to my house. I'll keep them safe while in my care. I have always been an animal lover since I can remember. So their safe in my hands when I'm walking them, coming for a drop in, or house sitting. Due to my work schedule, I am available Wednesday through Thursday for walking, drop ins, and house/dog sitting. I can either spend part of my day or my whole day with your pet. I try to fit in as much time with my animals as I can. Taking my dog for a walk, groom my familys horses, and even cuddle with my cats. I can make some exceptions with house sitting and drop ins. HOUSE SITTING: I'll gladly accept! If i am in college as well, I'll bring my laptop to work on homework. DROP INS: I will come in before work to feed/walk them and I can come in after work for a check up. If your yard is fenced in, I will gladly sit outside with your pet. Maybe even take a book with me so your dog can stretch their legs, play for a little bit and get some fresh air for a while. I will treat your dogs and cats like their my own and give them as much care as I can along with play times.
About: Hi! I’m a pet lover and certified dog trainer. I fostered and trained service dogs through a nonprofit in college, and have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all ages. My own dog, Bumi, is a sweet and well socialized rescue pup. I am versed in giving medication and caring for animals who need a little extra love. I’ve also got a car for pick-up/drop-off if needed. Thanks for considering me, I hope we can set up a meet and greet! I work from home full time and have a lot of flexibility. Whatever your pet’s needs are I am more than happy to meet them. I am more than willing to adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I have long leads to take your pet on exploratory walks and for enjoying supervised outside time.

About: I have been a dog owner (small. medium, large, house and sporting breeds) for 55 years and cat owner for 10 years. It is my passion to now take care of others pet needs. I am now retired and have plenty of time to help other manage the love of their pets when they are not available to do so. I cannot take care of pets in my home at this time.

“Mallory and James are excellent! They take such great care of my dogs and send detailed updates so I know exactly how my dogs are doing when I’m away. Both my dogs have been won over by the care and love given by these two.”
“Grace is an absolute gem, AND we were lucky enough to be her very first Rover walk! We have a 1-year-old bull terrier, Romani, who is crazy, hyper, and loveable in equal measure. Grace took it all in stride like she'd been doing this for years. She was incredibly sweet with her, and Romani loved her right back. She tracked her pee breaks and poop breaks and kept her out walking the full time (maybe a little over actually!). That kind of attentiveness and communication means the world when you're trusting someone with your fur baby. If you're on the fence about booking Grace, don't be. She's a natural, and we will 100% be booking her again. Give this girl all the five stars! 🐾”

About: Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment. I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night. Whether in my home or yours, I will always ensure to stick to the pet’s routine and comfort level so that their stress levels are low and their needs are met.

“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Jim and Mal we appreciate you so much. Thank you for always taking the greatest care of our pupper. He is turning 6 next year and he we know his life is better for having you guys in it. Merry Christmas and thank you for watching him while we were away. We loved his soccer video you shared with us and are buying him a soccer ball so he can show us his skills.”
“We have utilized Michael’s services a number of times now. He does a great job! Our pups always come home happy and in good health. Michael is our go to man when we need a pet sitter. It is comforting to know they are in a home setting. Thanks, Michael!”
“Major had a fantastic experience with Viki. I’m pretty sure he was sad to leave her! She asked lots of questions to make sure he acclimated quickly, and sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. Major doesn’t love the bigger boarding facilities, so this was perfect for him. We will certainly be sending Major back to Viki when we travel!”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
“Paola gave regular updates and pictures throughout the stay. My puppy seemed comfortable and happy during her stay! Paola has a beautiful yard for plenty of exercise for dogs during their stay”
“Melissa took great care of my dogs. They were able to get lots of exercise in her safely enclosed yard. Melissa was great with communication and sending photos of my pets. She was also willing to work with us on drop off and pick up times. Nicely done Melissa we appreciate it!”
“Would highly recommend her. I left my dog with her for 10 days initially than extended to 12 days. She is prompt on responses and accommodating any special request. I am definitely going back to her”
“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Sabrina is truly a blessing ! She took our big Bernedoodle puppy last minute, and he had a wonderful time ! He is a non stop kind of puppy, and her home as well as her property were great for him to get lots of movement. Sabrina sent photos and updates regularly, and was so patient with Asgard. We are appreciative of the gentleness in her care and her personal policy of not taking more than two dogs at a time. We can’t wait for Asgard to visit again- thank you ??!”
“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Karyn! She quickly became smitten with Karyn’s dog, Milo, and clearly felt right at home. Karyn was fantastic to work with—she kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and happy throughout her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karyn again.”
“Layla watched our pups for over two weeks and we couldn’t be any happier that our pups had such an incredible time. She was kind and patient with them, she sent us frequent photo updates and they had a great time. I would highly HIGHLY recommend her in the future and we will always turn to her when our pups need a place to stay. 💕”
“Our pup had a good time with Vignesh. Our pup gets anxious at new places. Vignesh put effort to make him feel good. I booked him in the last minute. He is very accommodating.”
