“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”
“She was amazing with my puppy this last weekend. First time using Rover. Highly recommend her!! She sent me picture and video updates of my dog during his stay. He was very well cared for. Will use her again in the future!!!!!”
“Hanna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! She was attentive to all of my requests as a dog parent, she sent constant picture updates of them having fun, and she returned them to me in wonderful spirits and cleaner than before. For anyone in need of a dog sitter, look no further. She is a reliable and wonderful caretaker.”
“Clara’s kennel was comfy and cool for our dog during a lake vacation that didn’t allow pups. The fenced in play area is perfect and Tock enjoyed running around with the other dogs at her house. She was also flexible on pickup times which helped us on our roadtrip.”
“Great as always. Jaxson loves it there and always comes back home tired. Kevin's dogs Sly and Sage also play very well and Kevin is great about sending pictures and videos.”
“Our dog Samantha could not be happier when she stays with Julie and her husband, Joe. We feel very comfortable leaving Samantha with them. They kept a close eye on her and even noticed some ear issue that was communicated and taken care of right away. Highly recommend them!”
“Excellent service is all I gotta say!! This was my dogs first time ever staying overnight with anyone besides her owners and she did really good, she doesn't like other animals so she had her own separate space! They kept me updated every few hours or so with videos and pictures, I will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“Lynn was great with our little guy. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, was very responsive and took great care of him following all of our requests! Would definitely book her again.”
“Daisy was the happiest I've ever seen her with someone else taking care of her. Emily is a treasure that I found. I'll be using her often. Thank you Emily! And her dogs were awesome with Daisy!”
“Went above and beyond with my fragile old dog! Actually got him to eat, tried a number of things including sitting with him to get him comfortable...amazing.. he typically will not eat at any pet care situation but with this sitter he came home just like I dropped him off…normal. She is so sweet and caring such a good experience for him particularly because he just lost his brother. He also seemed to get on well with her doggy who was very friendly. Obviously, a very gentle and generous dog who shared his home with no difficulty. I can not tell you all the ways in which she supported my dog in this situation and what amazing communication she provided to ease my mind. Several pictures a day with details on his condition both emotional and physical. Do not hesitate to use this wonderful person and true dog whisperer! You will feel instantly comfortable and connected to your fur baby as you travel!”
“Our usual sitter couldn’t take our sweet boy during an extended trip, but thankfully we found Leigh Anne! Upon picking up our pup, he ran back to her with no hesitation to say bye which shows how comfortable he really was there. We also got him back freshly groomed and bathed! Usually we have to bathe him after a stay somewhere, so this was an amazing change of pace! We will absolutely use Leigh Anne again; if not for boarding, for grooming!”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”
“Victoria took really good care of Beans, kept me updated and always responded to my messages quickly. She was kind and had a great environment for pups. She took her for walks and let her sleep with her in the bed. Beans had a great time there!”

“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
About: I've cared for both healthy cats and cats with underlying conditions. For 10 years I had a cat that was diabetic that I had to administer insulin to. My current cat is 15 and requires a lot of love and attention.My cat Mabel is a rescued kitten/ cat almost 16 years ago on Halloween night while coming home from work , about 4 cars ahead of me something went flying out the window . I was able to stop and pull over due to not having other cars behind me . It was very cold that night and the sun was just starting to set . I got out of my car and looked around for a few minutes but didn't see anything and I got ready to leave I hear faint cry and I turned and looked down into some tall weeds and there she was , this poor malnourished kitten crying for help . To make a long story short I got her home and the day my wife and I took her to vet . They kept her for 3 days running ivs into her . We able to come and after 3 days thinking she wasn't going make it. And here she is still with after such a traumatic start to her life . I am very grateful to have Mabel as my best friend and wouldn't trade for the world . I love you very much Mabel .
“An absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. We could not have found a better person to watch our cats while we were gone for several days. Hanna dropped in twice a day to care for our cats while we were out of town. She is super friendly and warm and sweet. Our cats fell in love with her instantly. We invited her husband to visit our place with her , and he was great with the cats too. Hanna was a great communicator. She kept us up-to-date and reached out if she had questions. She also sent us numerous photos and videos of our cats as she cared for them. That’s how we know how good she was with them. For most of us who have pets, they are almost like our kids, and we want to leave them in the best care possible when away. Hanna is the person to take care of your animals. If you are in need of someone to watch your animals while you were away, ask Hanna before anybody else. You will not be disappointed, I promise. We will absolutely reach out to Hanna again for future travels.”
“Jennifer did a great job dropping in to feed our cats and horse while out of town. Setting up a meet and greet was quick and she has been great to communicate with. I definitely recommend booking her!”

“Yanya was great to work with as we needed dog care for our Goldendoodle at our campsite while we enjoyed a 10-hour train ride into ONT. Yanya was responsive, on-time, spent the entire hour with the dog walking and playing with her, and sent some great pictures/videos. I would definitely use her again if needed while in the area!”
“Paxton is delightful and really bonded with our Burleigh. She kept my plants alive during our absence which was above and beyond. She provided us with peace of mind that our cat and home were in good hands. She’s a peach!”
“My last pet sitter canceled last minute and everything went to crap as my cat pepper "drama king screaming demon" needs medicine for his stomach and anxiety in his old age. Sonny took my black fur ball of rage and distrust and made sure he had his medicine and space as pepper can be a bit "much" she gave lots of pictures and updates and was available within 2 days of booking which I desperately needed. She also worked with me as my family trip had gotten derailed when our car broke down and was willing to watch him for a bit longer as we figured out how to get home. She builds a great rapport and I can tell her own animals adore her and are VERY well socialized. Her kitten peaches ran up to me wanting to say hi and her dog ham was not aggressive in the least meeting me for the first time, he just wanted pats!”

“Calm energy, easy to work with, and super accommodating. I was nervous my dog would show signs of separation anxiety or show dominance with other dogs prior to daycare. Brianne's presence was so welcoming that my dog was happy to be there. She was also able to orchestrate a soft introduction to 2 other dogs boarding with her and my dog actually did really well. So grateful! Thanks Brianne!”

“Hanna has been a lifesaver as me and my dog Poppy adjust to the area and with the move! Poppy loves going to Hanna’s and playing with her new friends. Poppy is super anxious around other dogs, but she LOVES Hanna’s pups. It’s such a great feeling as a pet owner to know when I drop Poppy off she’s more excited to be there than she is to be at home!”
“Christina was amazing! She gauges the dogs needs very well and I feel our pups were happier when we came back than when we dropped them off! Definitely use her, she will not disappoint.”
“Jeremiah is definitely a dog person. My pup couldn't wait to greet him the second time I hired him, going right up to him and wagging her tail. The surroundings of his place are perfect for the walks he takes her on - lots to sniff and explore. He is very conscientious about securing her with a double leash.Thank you, Jeremiah.”

“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”

“My beagle, Annie, spent half a day getting acquainted with Summer, Jazzie, and Finn. After some initial anxiety over being left, she settled in very well thanks to Summer's responsiveness. Soon after I left, she took Annie for a walk with her dogs which distracted and relaxed her a bit. When I picked her up, she was happy and had gotten along well with Jazzie and Finn. Summer responded quickly to my texts and let me know how Annie was doing with texts and pics.”
“She was wonderful with Cliff!! He’s always so excited to see his friends! She sends lots of pictures throughout the day too, which I love! He’s always having so much fun!”
“Olivia took wonderful care of our 38 lb, energetic Blue Heeler. She was calm and loving to our dog, and our dog responded in a positve way to her. She sent us pictures of our happy, calm dog during the day, which we appreciated. And we loved that Olivia only has one dog in the house at a time (other than her own sweet little dog). She invited us to use her again, and we will definitely take her up on it.”

About: Hello, I'm a big animal lover. Life is always better with furry friends! I have pretty much always had a dog most of my life & always consider them family. I was lucky & got to be there when my former fur baby was born. Her mom let me massage her hips & tummy while in labor. It was her 1st litter & she was awesome!! She let me handle all 9 of the babies after she was done delivering so we could transfer all them to a clean bed & to help rotate at feeding time to ensure they all ate. All 9 survived & were healthy!! I was also a "doula" for my mom's cats pregnancy & she let me massage her tummy & handle her babies right away also. It's a blessing to see & be a part of. I would love to provide a safe and comfortable care for your pet while you are away. I used to have birds, cats, fish, been around reptiles & snakes, turtles, I worked at an eagle rapture center in Alaska which is where I'm from. I have a strong belief to only work in something you love so here I am. :-) Your pet will receive the same love & attention as if they were my own & provide plenty of pictures. Before I became a provider for Rover I used the service a few times myself & was very appreciative when I was given daily updates & pictures & want to provide the same for others. It truly meant a lot to me to get that so I know the importance. -Reliable, Safe, Comfortable w/ all animals -Wellness checks -Doggie daycare in your home-Rover doesn't allow me to add this feature/pricing-please ask for free quote -Pet Sitting -Pet Grooming -Walking/Running/Playtime -Pickup/Drop Off for Appointments -Training -Overnight care -Reiki/Massage for pets -I'm more than happy to help w/ some extra house cleaning (additional) so don't be afraid to ask.

Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”
“She was amazing with my puppy this last weekend. First time using Rover. Highly recommend her!! She sent me picture and video updates of my dog during his stay. He was very well cared for. Will use her again in the future!!!!!”
“Hanna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! She was attentive to all of my requests as a dog parent, she sent constant picture updates of them having fun, and she returned them to me in wonderful spirits and cleaner than before. For anyone in need of a dog sitter, look no further. She is a reliable and wonderful caretaker.”
“Clara’s kennel was comfy and cool for our dog during a lake vacation that didn’t allow pups. The fenced in play area is perfect and Tock enjoyed running around with the other dogs at her house. She was also flexible on pickup times which helped us on our roadtrip.”
“Great as always. Jaxson loves it there and always comes back home tired. Kevin's dogs Sly and Sage also play very well and Kevin is great about sending pictures and videos.”
“Our dog Samantha could not be happier when she stays with Julie and her husband, Joe. We feel very comfortable leaving Samantha with them. They kept a close eye on her and even noticed some ear issue that was communicated and taken care of right away. Highly recommend them!”
“Excellent service is all I gotta say!! This was my dogs first time ever staying overnight with anyone besides her owners and she did really good, she doesn't like other animals so she had her own separate space! They kept me updated every few hours or so with videos and pictures, I will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“Daisy was the happiest I've ever seen her with someone else taking care of her. Emily is a treasure that I found. I'll be using her often. Thank you Emily! And her dogs were awesome with Daisy!”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Tiffani was great with my Rudy. Treated him like her own. Great communication with me. Never worried for a minute that he wasn't having the best care. I know he had a great time because he was worn out when I picked him up. Not an easy thing to do with an active puppy like my Rudy. I would highly recommend Tiffani and will definitely have her look after him next time I am in town.”
“Lindsay is literally the definition of a GODSEND when it comes to dog sitting & taking care of your pet when you have to leave him or her behind going out of town. This was my second time leaving my dog (Hank) with Lindsay and her family, and for as long as I live here in the South Bend/Michiana area I will never look elsewhere for a sitter. She truly treats ALL dogs as if they are her own, and ensures that each and every one of them has a remarkable experience under her care. I promise promise promise there is no better sitter in the area, so if you’re looking for someone to look after a pet you love so dearly, look no further because Lindsay & her family are the best there is. I will forever be thankful I found her & will continue to use her as often as I can throughout the near future!”
