“Geovanna was absolutely wonderful with Freya! She was able to help us on such short notice, and we’re so grateful for how welcoming she and her family were. She sent us consistent updates throughout Freya’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Freya looked so happy, comfortable, and like she was genuinely enjoying her time with them. 🥰 We seriously can’t thank Geovanna enough for taking such great care of our girl and welcoming her into her home. We’ll absolutely keep her in mind anytime we’re back in the area and need someone to watch Freya again. Highly recommend! 💕”

I have received pictures and videos of Nola playing with their dogs, and entire family and she is happy as can be. I was nervous initially since Nola was so young but Liz had has made my nerves calm down and she understood me. I would highly highly highly recommend them. I was able to relax on my vacation, knowing that she was in such good hands. If I can give them 100 stars I would I would definitely be using them again. That is for sure!!!!! Nola absolutely lived her best puppy vacation with the wonderful family!!”

“Megan was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with our two dogs, Nelson and Kodie! Both can be energetic at times and both like lots of cuddles which they both received the entire stay. She followed the schedule perfectly and put our minds at ease! Communication was GREAT! Megan kept us informed of their daily activities from the time they woke up until they went to bed (including mealtimes, play time and cuddle time). She sent GREAT photos (AND I MEAN GREAT) the photos were picture perfect for magazines!! :) Megan was reliable and adjusted to our schedule with drop off and pick up. When the dogs ran out of the canned food, she offered and picked some up for us! How nice! :) At pick up both dogs were happy and well taken care of! BUT what touched my son and I the most is we were going through our pets bag and found Megan had placed a gift bag for Nelson and Kodie that consisted of a card, plush dog toy, and dog treats! WHAT A SURPRISE- We are STILL SMILING!!! :) THANK YOU MEGAN VERY NICE MEETING YOU AND WE ROVER PET PARENTS WILL BE RETURNING!!! :)”

Odie came home happy and tired, and it was clear he was very well cared for. They’re a wonderful family, and we will absolutely use them again. Highly recommend!”

“Melissa was amazing! Smoky loved her :). Melissa was super attentive to Smoky and I felt calmer than usual, being away from my cat. I feel like she went above and beyond taking excellent care of my baby and we would love to have Melissa to come hang again :) If you want someone you can trust to ensure that your fur baby is well taken care of, Melissa is the one!”

“I haven’t found anyone I trust to take care of my baby until I met Chelsea! My cat is my literal baby and I was terrified to leave her but Chelsea not only took care of her but loved on her, sent me pictures, and sent me updates. I knew she was in good hands and so was the house. Chelsea goes above and beyond what is asked of her and truly has a heart for animals. Look no further for a responsible person to care for your fur babies!! I will definitely be turning to her again to care for my kitty”

“We had a crazy week because of hurricane Milton, but Cheyenne was amazing in making sure our cats were taken care of while we were gone. She communicated with us and our skittish little furball adores her now which is amazing. This is the second time we have booked Cheyenne and we plan on using her again.”

“James was an amazing caretaker to our 2 cats while we were away! I loved seeing pictures everyday and a description of each visit. Definitely the best pet care I've received!! He was very patient with my cats (one is a nervous eater). I was relieved he followed our routine well so my cats knew what to expect. James went above and beyond by sweeping up the litter my cats kicked out of their boxes and sending a detailed description of each visit with many pictures!! Thank you so much James for the amazing experience. Your passion and love for animals really shows. ❤️”

“fennel (emily) was amazing watching over our cats! they were so patient and helpful through multiple snafus that were no fault of their own (door code and pet feeder issues) and had an amazing attention to detail. i could tell by the photos that both my cats loved fennel, which is no easy feat as one of them can be very scared of people. they also did a great job with my cats medication and kept us updated on changes in eating and litter box usage. i would absolutely use fennel again!”
“Lidia was AWESOME! She gave me detailed updates and sent me lots of pictures throughout my trip which made me feel at ease leaving my kitties behind. I highly recommend using Lidia, she is well rounded and has experience with all animals. I will 100% be using her in the future if she has availability!”
“Gabriella was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We received photos of Penny—which made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. 😻🐾”

My cats were at ease and were quick to settle in at home as if they stayed at a family member’s home. Jennifer is very attentive and committed to making your fur babies comfortable. I will definitely consider Jennifer going forward because of this great experience.”

“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“Another great stay with Marliez! Our boy Ranger always leaves so satisfied and tired (in the best way). We love that he gets to take good walks, play at the park, nap comfortably, and be watched so attentively. And Marliez’s communication during daycare is all we could hope for.”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Ryan and Sabrina have been wonderful as sitters for Toby. He loves going there and especially loves their big yard. They are very flexible with any changes and always accomodating. I totally recommend 100%.”

“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“You simply cannot go wrong with Tabitha. She communicated but most importantly she takes care of your pet like it’s her own. Highly recommend. Thank you again for another great week!”
About: I’ve grown up around both small and large dogs, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. I’ve also cared for and dog sat more dogs than I can count. Me and my partner love dogs and we wish we could have our own - but out jobs are both in person Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday making it impossible to be there for a dog during the week. However, we would love to care for an animal over a weekend! Or even just dog sit! I currently work from home only on Mondays and Fridays. I am in person Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I would be happy to help in baby sitting for long weekends and walks on the weekends! We currently live in a townhome with both a small front and back yard. While neither yard is fenced, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs on a leash when outside and never let them off leash unless they are in a fully fenced, secure area.
“Ryan was great with the pups and flexible with our last minute booking. He was also patient with me as I was super nervous with a new dog walker. He also handled all three of them well. I’d definitely recommend his services.”
“Stephanie was awesome. I needed someone to come walk my puppy, my regular dog walker couldn’t do it and Stephanie was happy to help. She took Willow for a 1/2 hr walk made sure she had water. She sent plenty of pictures was very easy to communicate with just an overall sweet person! I really liked her and will use her in the future! Highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Great sitter, she watched them for 3 days while we were on vacation. They were well taken care of and we did a pre meet beforehand and the dogs seemed to love her. Shes very nice and loves dogs.”
“Elizabeth is dependable and communicative, which is extremely important to me. She came when she said she would, left cards on Rover with details of Nya's walk, and was a pleasure to deal with. We will be booking with her again!”
“Shane and Brittany have been so great with me and my dog! I’m a worrier, especially when it comes to my dog, since she isn’t always a walk in the park. Shane and Brittany have been very patient with answering all my questions and giving feedback on Gucci’s daily walks. They have also been very attentive to Gucci’s needs. I couldn’t ask for better!”
“Whitney always does a great job with our Senior pup. He can’t always walk the full time if it is hot out but she still hangs around for snuggles! I know he is in good hands!”
“Emma was great ! She answered every message quickly , checked in each walk and made sure cai was well taken care of. It was a last minute request which she came and met Cai the same week! It was also cold and bad weather but she still made sure he was able to get outside ! Highly reccomend”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job with Gabby, our 11 yr. old Cocker Spaniel. She was prompt, polite and went beyond the requests we made. She is patient and followed our directions for Gabby's care extremely well. Gabby will be 12 in December and this was the first time we left her for an extended amount of time. The pictures and messages she sent assured us while we were away that Gabby had everything she needed and more! She didn't hesitate to ask questions and remembered to administer her Heart Guard medication on time. We highly recommend Alyssa to care for your pet!”
