“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
“Will definitely leave my dog with her anytime I need to go on a trip. She sent photos and messages updating me when ever I asked. If you ever worry about your dog when you’re gone you won’t after using her for the first time I promise. Can’t express enough how well it went.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with Onyx! She sent me updates every day along with pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was obvious that Onyx was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Kelly again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”
“Our golden retriever was very excited to stay with Kayti. It was like a vacation for him also as he had fun playing with her dogs. Kayti did a really good job paying attention to our dog and bringing up any concerns. 10/10 would send our dog on vacation here again!”
“Kristine communicated with me through my pets stay with her , which made me feel 100% comfortable and at ease . I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services !”
“Susan was great! very communicative and flexible. We came from out of town for a wedding and just needed someone for the night and it worked out great. Calvin, my dog, is a very dog friendly dog and got along with her dog finn very well who seems mild tempered. Susan sent me pictures and reassured me that Calvin was enjoying himself. If we’re ever back in the area I will definitely be using Susan again.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app and I was very apprehensive in leaving my pup (4+ year old Mini Aussie) for an extended period of time with someone I hadn't met. Nikki was beyond helpful in walking me through the process, scheduling a meet and greet, keeping me updated with pictures and statuses through the weekend and putting my overactive mind at ease. She was true to her word in every sense of the way and I will certainly be contacting her first with all of my future needs. Augie and I are lucky to have found her.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I've had lots experience with potty training dogs. Many friends and family have trusted me with their pets (dogs, cats, lizards) while they were on vacation all in their own home. I currently have a large fenced in yard that my sheepadoodle loves to run around in and play fetch. All pets will be kept separate from each other during their stay. They will be cuddled and loved as our own! I work part time 2 minutes away from my home and come home around lunch time to let my dog out so I could very well let yours out as well. I have a large fenced in yard, I also have two large crates in our house and a larger cage in our garage to use if needed. Your pet would be kept inside our home and treated as our own.

About: I grew up with dogs, so I’ve got a fair amount of experience with caring for them. I have a senior pit bull whose been with me since I was a kid, so I’m very comfortable with bigger dogs! I work full time but my days are free after 3pm, and I’m off on Thursdays and Fridays with no preference for either mornings or evenings. I make sure to give pets adequate attention while also being mindful of their boundaries. I love to engage in play and stay on top of feeding & potty time.
“She took great care and had patience with my kitten. Even when I made a mistake with scheduling, she was flexible and able to help me. I would definitely use Sabrina again!”
“Megan was absolutely incredible with Harley! She was prompt, sent photos and updates with each pop in. Her communication is amazing. She also helped me out with a last minute emergency pop in. She is really a great sitter and I'm so glad we chose her!!!”
About: I've taken care of various species of animal ever since I was young, this ranges from dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and even goats. I am currently attending Carrington College for Veterinary Technology. I am the perfect choice to look after your lil buddy! I am free every day of the week and every hour of the day. I'm not too busy of a person so feel free to reach out! I have a large backyard that is securely fenced in, anything being able to get out would be a miracle, I'm very loving and nurturing and prefer reward based training/discipline over punishment.
About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.
