“It was our first time booking with Toni. She gave a great, detailed overview of her boarding facilities and answered all of our questions. She was very warm and kind. We were particularly impressed by how clean her kennels were and the fact that the space was nicely air conditioned. She responded to messages quickly while we were away. We would definitely use her again. Very professional!”
“Joni was wonderful with Violet. It was the first time she had ever stayed anywhere besides Home and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. You can definitely tell that Joni‘s heart is in this and that she loves the pooches thank you Joni. I will definitely use her again.”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“3rd time boarding my little guy with Laura and as always she was fantastic. Super responsive with daily picture updates as well. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“This was our first time boarding our 5 month old puppy. Leah did an amazing job with her! Our puppy seemed to feel right at home with Leah! Leah will definitely be our go-to pet sitter from now on. She is responsible, friendly, and makes dogs feel like family! I’m so glad we found her!”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“Sara was so wonderful! Our dog Jovie stayed with her for a long weekend when our plans changed and needed a sitter on short notice. She was so accommodating on meeting beforehand and Jovie took to her well. She got lots of walks and extra love with Sara. Jovie came home happy and we were so grateful to have lots of updates and photos during our trip for ease of mind! Thanks Sara!”
“This was my first time using Rover and due to some medical needs, was very last minute. I booked with Shannon and she did an awesome job with my frenchie. I received pictures every day and periodical updates on how she was doing. I would definitely work with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Victoria made it so easy and amazing. Evelyn can be a lot to handle but there was no issues with Victoria. I had constant communication and pictures being sent. Highly highly recommend! I will definitely go through her in the future.”
“Such wonderful humans!! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my anxious girl in their care for the weekend. They helped her settle in and gave her so much love. I received lots of updates and pictures that eased my heart and made me smile while I was away! I'd recommend them to everyone in a heart beat ❤️”
“Dexter always has a great time with Mandy and her family! He gets lots of love and hangs right with them. Mandy has always been helpful when we needed anything!!”
“Karen was simply amazing. She took wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. And we would absolutely have her watch Daisy again. Karen offered Daisy healthy treats throughout her stay (after making sure it was okay with us). She sent pictures and updates everyday. Daisy was often cozy, comfortable, and snuggled up. Overall, it was obvious to us that Karen is a real animal lover. We are so grateful to have found her.”
“Matt and Jessica were AMAZING! They sent lots of pics and videos of him having the time of his life. It's like he was having his own vacation while WE were on vacation. Can't imagine using any other boarding service besides them from now on!”
“Our dog Ruby loved Holly and her home! Ruby can feel a little scared around new people and Holly made her feel right at home. My family loved all the pictures and updates. We will be use her again!”
“We left cooper with Stephanie for almost two weeks while we were on vacation and he had the best time!! She sent me picture updates everyday! I will definitely use her on the future and 10/10 recommend her if you want a fun safe place”

“Shelly is an amazing pet care sitter. Daily she went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. We were many miles away and we were confident the cats would receive awesome care! We'll book Shelly again!!”
“Becky went above and beyond my expectations. I really only needed twice a day feedings for my two shy kitties. The kitchen and litter box area were cleaner than when I left! The icing on the cake was the sweet card that she left for me. I recommend her highly.”
“Sara made us feel more than secure leaving our pet in her care. Sara was even nice enough to extend our original request by a day with no heads up. We would absolutely request again!”

“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”
“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands.

“Rachel is very kind and caring to both you and your pets! She stayed with my two cats for a week and sent many pictures and updates that I didn’t need to check in or worry about a thing! I was very nervous using this site and a person I didn’t know to come stay in my home but once I met Rachel, I felt completely comfortable.

About: With over 25 years of experience in caring for dogs and horses, I approach pet sitting with an understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or an anxious companion, I use positive reinforcement techniques to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have a friendly 4-year-old golden retriever, Lily, who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, providing a perfect playmate for your pup. I regularly care for friends and family's pets, and have watched dogs recovering from surgeries and in need of medication. Our spacious 2.5-acre property offers plenty of room for dogs to roam, explore, and enjoy playtime in a safe setting. From daily walks to playing fetch in the yard, your pets will be in loving hands. Having used Rover to book pet care for my dog, Lily, I understand that leaving your dog can be nerve-wracking. Let me provide the peace of mind you deserve while you're away, knowing your beloved dog is receiving top-notch care! Working from home allows me to spend time with your dog throughout the day and attend to them as much as needed. I walk every day and am happy to take your pup along with me if they love walks too! With 2.5 acres and a super friendly, welcoming golden retriever, Lily, I'd love to welcome your dog into our home. We want your dog(s) to cozy in and feel at home, and welcome them sleeping in our room or in their crate, however they are most comfortable.
About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.

“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

We would definitely use her again. Very professional!”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“3rd time boarding my little guy with Laura and as always she was fantastic. Super responsive with daily picture updates as well. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“This was our first time boarding our 5 month old puppy. Leah did an amazing job with her! Our puppy seemed to feel right at home with Leah! Leah will definitely be our go-to pet sitter from now on. She is responsible, friendly, and makes dogs feel like family! I’m so glad we found her!”
“Moved to the area a few months ago and have already relied on Marty several times to take care of my furry friend while I'm away. Marty is always excited to see him, and he always goes running into her house to look for the toy basket without looking back. She truly appreciates all his little personality qualities that set him apart, and provides frequent updates throughout the stay. I always know I will pick up my friend happy, rested, and relaxed. Very grateful for Marty and her family, we will be back!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Victoria made it so easy and amazing. Evelyn can be a lot to handle but there was no issues with Victoria. I had constant communication and pictures being sent. Highly highly recommend! I will definitely go through her in the future.”
“Such wonderful humans!! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my anxious girl in their care for the weekend. They helped her settle in and gave her so much love. I received lots of updates and pictures that eased my heart and made me smile while I was away! I'd recommend them to everyone in a heart beat ❤️”
“Dexter always has a great time with Mandy and her family! He gets lots of love and hangs right with them. Mandy has always been helpful when we needed anything!!”
“Matt and Jessica were AMAZING! They sent lots of pics and videos of him having the time of his life. It's like he was having his own vacation while WE were on vacation. Can't imagine using any other boarding service besides them from now on!”
“Our dog Ruby loved Holly and her home! Ruby can feel a little scared around new people and Holly made her feel right at home. My family loved all the pictures and updates. We will be use her again!”
“We left cooper with Stephanie for almost two weeks while we were on vacation and he had the best time!! She sent me picture updates everyday! I will definitely use her on the future and 10/10 recommend her if you want a fun safe place”
About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dog. She kept us updated with how Louie was doing and sent us lots of pictures, which was great to see how he was doing. I really believe Louie enjoyed himself with Rachel and her family.”
“They were absolutely amazing working with my travel schedule and taking care of my dog! They sent me adorable pictures and even did a 4th of July photo shoot! They went above and beyond when i miscalculated how much food I needed to send and went to the store! 100% recommend and would use them again!”
“First time we used Rover.com and first time we were away from our dog. I think he had some anxiety but Lyndsey and Justin were great with the whole process.”
