Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!

Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.

Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!

Masha also made us feel secure by updating us throughout the day and sending us photo updates. Milo was very comfortable with them, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future. It’s good to have someone you can trust with your fur baby who cares and loves them.

I could not recommend Kelly and Cal more enthusiastically! They took great care of our two babies, sent frequent updates including videos and pictures, were super responsive -- and were SO easy and flexible! I needed to add time to our scheduled visit and they happily rolled with that. Plus, I was a few minutes late picking up and they were fine with that too! Most importantly, our doggies were happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook!

He facilitated playtime with her and her new furry friends wonderfully and provided videos and photos each day. She also got lots of exercise which we appreciate! We would definitely recommend him and plan to use Eric for our future pet needs.

Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.

So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.

Lauren and her "assistant Zoe" (her own dog) looked after Bella very well. The dogs had supervised playtime in the enclosed park, rather like a village green, and had ample time to chill and hang out together. Bella was very happy to stay with Lauren, and the whole experience was positive. Lauren is a very competent and caring boarder. I heartily recommend her!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sammi was an absolute gem while watching our two cats, Merlin and Tiny Kitty, over the past four days! From the moment we met, her warmth and genuine love for animals put us at ease. She took the time to learn all about our cats’ quirks, feeding routines, and favorite playtime activities, ensuring they felt right at home in her care. Sammi went above and beyond, sending us daily updates with photos and videos that made us smile and kept us worry-free while we were away. Tiny Kitty, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to her quickly, and Merlin was clearly smitten, purring away in every picture! The house was spotless when we returned, and the cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true testament to Sammi’s attentiveness and care. Her communication was prompt, professional, and always cheerful, which made coordinating everything a breeze. It’s clear Sammi has a special talent for pet sitting, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We’ll absolutely be booking her again for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Thank you, Sammi, for treating Merlin and Tiny Kitty like your own!

Rover review She took great care of Hazy while I was away. He unfortunately developed vomiting and diarrhea during my trip, so she had to clean up after him daily and keep a close eye on him. It may have been anxiety- but nonetheless-She even brought a probiotic from home for him, which I really appreciated. I ended up adding three extra visits so she could continue monitoring him, and she was reliable and communicative throughout. I really appreciated her taking on the extra work while Hazy wasn’t feeling well.

Catherine just completed her first booking with us for our 3 elderly cats -- and she did a great job! The cats were clearly well-tended, she took the time to send photos and reassure us pet parents, and she gave us updates as the several days went on. One of the cats needs daily medicine, and Catherine found a new way to encourage Mischa the cat to gobble down the mashed pill. Thanks! She also accepted this assignment with very little lead time -- thank you, Cathy!

About: I've been caring for cats for most of my life, both personally and professionally. I grew up with cats and later worked in the cat room at a local humane society, where I fed the cats, cleaned their cages and litter boxes, and spent time socializing and playing with them. That's also where I met Penny, the first cat I adopted on my own after falling in love with her while caring for her at the shelter. I especially enjoy taking care of older or quiet cats who might need time to decide if they like a new person. My current cat, Millie, is a shy senior, so I am used to letting a cat set the pace. I pay close attention to cat body language and I try to recognize what a cat is comfortable with. I'm happy to handle the everyday essentials that keep your cats cared for while you’re away: feeding, fresh water, litter-box cleaning, play and companionship, and following their normal routine and your written instructions. I don't believe in forcing affection or interaction, so if your cat prefers to observe me suspiciously from underneath the bed, that’s okay too 😸💕

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.

Ebot responded to my booking request quickly & was also very polite with his communications. Jäger didn’t finish his two days booked with him. I don’t think it was a great fit for Jäger & think ebot would do best caring for dogs who don’t mind being crated and are smaller in size who also don’t mind being left. Apparently my dog displayed anxious behaviors he has never displayed before in his 4 years of rover daycares but I think it just wasn’t the best fit. Love ebot’s energy & personality though & wish him the best of luck! I think he’ll do great with other pups

I was a bit nervous leaving Lexa after an unpleasant previous experience with a Rover stay, but Jeannie was wonderful! She took my very active husky on several walks, but was conscious of the hot weather and kept them short. I received a bunch of pictures and updates, which kept me calm. She has a very calm demeanor that allowed my dog to relax and just hang out. I will definitely be rebooking!!

Huey took such great care of my pupper Winky, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Winky can be super shy at first, so I always get nervous leaving him with someone new, but he got comfortable with Huey so quickly it was amazing! She has two super friendly dogs of her own(a little bichon and a corgi), and they got along so well with Winky which is awesome. She also sent me updates and photos during the stay and it looked like he was completely relaxed and having the best time. I also added on grooming during his stay, since she’s also a home based groomer and did such an amazing job(she told me she has 20 years of grooming experience!!) Winky came home looking so clean and adorable with the cutest haircut! You can really tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I’d absolutely book with Huey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and caring for their pup!

Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I’m currently working part time and looking for a way to get out of the house more often and help people with their pets needs. As a dog and cat owner I know how important exercise is and that some people just don’t have the time to take their dogs on proper walks while they are at work. I live on ten acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!

About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.

About: 🐕 Individualized Dog Boarding & Care 🐕 Worried about your dog getting lost in the crowd at a sitter's house packed with too many pets? I get it. As a dog mom myself, I believe home stays should mean true one-on-one attention and family-style care, not a mini kennel. _______________________________________ ~~ WHY BOARD/STAY WITH US?~~ + Small Groups, Big Attention: We host a maximum of 2 guest dogs at a time. Your pup gets genuine focus, love, and room to relax without the stress of a crowded home. + Safety First: We always require a pre-booking Meet & Greet. On arrival day, we use a gradual, multi-step introduction process outside and inside the home to make sure every dog feels safe. + Frequent Updates: You’ll get an update right after drop-off so you know your pup is settling in, followed by reliable daily updates and photos & videos. No waiting around or worrying! + Tailored Activity & Enrichment: Since we work from home, we provide frequent neighborhood walks, dedicated indoor playtime, and long-lead outdoor play sessions in our grassy area. Whether your dog needs high energy output or loves to snooze, we adapt to their rhythm. _______________________________________ Leaving your baby behind is tough. Our goal is to give you total peace of mind while treating your dog like a member of our own family. We’d love to meet your pup! Hi, I’m Dianne! I’ve been fostering dogs since 2017 with Fetch WI Rescue and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue (DC). My husband, Jake, and I work from home alongside our resident "foster fail," Kona. Because I work from home, I have a ton of flexibility to step away from my computer as needed. I have a mellow 5 year old resident dog who loves to play if your pup is interested. Otherwise she pretty much minds her own business. She is a St. Bernard and Blackmouth cur mix who is very gentle and has had a lot of exposure to dogs of varying temperaments through fostering. She can’t wait to meet you pup! We also allow dogs to have free roam of our home and will sleep in our bedroom at night.

About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family since I was 10. I'm very good with animals. When I’m boarding, I try to prioritize your dog or cats wants and/or needs over mine. And try to make it seem like a vacation for them. I live with my father, and my brothers and sisters. We all love animals but don’t have any of our own. So your furry friend is getting the most attention and affection from me and everyone else in the house. I have a backyard to play in (unfortunately not fenced in) and very long walking path near my house. Live right by a creek with paths all around. Dogs love it. Weather I'm taking care of your dog at my house or at yours, he or she has my full undevided attention.

I work and do school remote from home so pet care fits perfect. Taking care of dogs will get me more active and I love a good walk or jog. I treat each pet as if they are my own. With the same love and care I give my dog. Once they come to me they are home.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.

Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!

Masha and her family were so amazing for our boy, Milo. They kept him busy, kept up with his schedule, and were very attentive to any special needs that might be there. Masha also made us feel secure by updating us throughout the day and sending us photo updates. Milo was very comfortable with them, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future. It’s good to have someone you can trust with your fur baby who cares and loves them.

Marylee did a great job of sending pics of my pup while he enjoyed the deck and some quality window watching. She wrote us a wonderful note detailing the weekend. I could tell he was very happy with his “getaway” outside of the city! :) We will definitely be booking with Marylee again!

I could not recommend Kelly and Cal more enthusiastically! They took great care of our two babies, sent frequent updates including videos and pictures, were super responsive -- and were SO easy and flexible! I needed to add time to our scheduled visit and they happily rolled with that. Plus, I was a few minutes late picking up and they were fine with that too! Most importantly, our doggies were happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook!

We needed care on super short notice and Eric came through in a big way. He was so warm and welcoming to Raea and she took to him immediately! He facilitated playtime with her and her new furry friends wonderfully and provided videos and photos each day. She also got lots of exercise which we appreciate! We would definitely recommend him and plan to use Eric for our future pet needs.

Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.

So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.

Lauren and her "assistant Zoe" (her own dog) looked after Bella very well. The dogs had supervised playtime in the enclosed park, rather like a village green, and had ample time to chill and hang out together. Bella was very happy to stay with Lauren, and the whole experience was positive. Lauren is a very competent and caring boarder. I heartily recommend her!

Bria was the best! She has a loving and caring personality. I was a little anxious since this was my first time leaving our Schnoodle, Bonnie with someone other then a family member. Bria is now extended family! She sent updates and photos daily, which was really appreciated. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to friends and family.

Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?

Andres and Josh are superb! They are very communicative and sent us pictures of Cheerio daily. They have a back yard where all the pups get to play. Cheerio had a great time! We highly recommend them!

This was my dog’s first stay away after rescuing her about a month before. Maria and Fernando took excellent care of her. She got to meet other dogs and play outside in their wonderful yard. The pictures they sent confirmed this. I will definitely use them again.
