“I think that Maggie and Luddy had a great stay. It was so nice to have the photos of them enjoying their time with Julie and Joe. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their new surroundings by the time I picked them up the next day. In the past, Luddy had had a sitter at the house, but this was Maggie's (10-month-old puppy) first experience being away from home overnight. Since I presently do not have a fenced yard, it was great for them to have access to a yard for play without having to be leashed. Julie and Joe seem to truly enjoy having dogs visit with them, and they take good care of them and help them to feel at home. I am so grateful.”


“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Our two beagles had a great stay with Rex and family. We loved getting photo updates and could tell they felt right at home. They came home happy and tired out from all the playtime.”


“Kelli was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, we typically have family watch our dog but we were getting married and didn’t have anyone to watch her for the weekend. Kelli made us feel so comfortable with updates and pictures! Josie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and being able to explore in her big back yard. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“The best review I can give is that I think my dog was depressed to be home because he missed Kathy and her husband so much!! Chewy loved being there,I loved getting the pictures to start my day. Best experience ever for me and my pup!!”

“Amanda was amazing with our two dogs! They stayed overnight and felt right at home. She was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Her fenced backyard was a plus and she treated our dogs as her own.”

“My two dogs stayed with Jenai and Sean and had the best time! I got regular updates from them about how things were going, and they were happy and loved during their stay! They came home exhausted from all of the fun! Definitely recommended!!”

“Beth and Tracy were absolutely wonderful with Duke. Beth communicated often and took lots of pictures. They took wonderful care of our pup, which made us feel really good and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation.”

“My dogs had a blast at "sleep-away camp" with Nayoma. They were well cared for, had plenty of fun time (with daily photos to prove it,) and were cared for according to our instructions. We will definately use her again.”

“Katlynn was wonderful with my two elderly pups, and she communicates well. We had a good experience boarding with her and I have no hesitation in recommending Katlynn's services to others.”

“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”

“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”

“Willo was absolutely great with Kobe kept me updated with pictures and just did an awesome job my dog really enjoyed the company of her dogs and atmosphere surrounding her area.. I would choose her anytime”

“Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.”

“10/10 experience! My pup was well taken care of & came home happy and healthy! With such a last minute request Savannah was very responsive & answered all my questions prior to booking. I would definitely recommend booking any service with her!”


“It’s always a pleasure working with JoAnn and Michael. My dog is very comfortable there and I know she will be safe. I get updates and pictures. It’s wonderful knowing that I have a reliable place for my dog when I take a vacation.”

“Camryn was very communicative and really went the extra mile as we have a new puppy who needed a lot of extra care and attention alongside our grown dog. Looking forward to leveraging her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others!”


“Michelle provided updates and services as requested. Came home to a non-distressed cat which is all I can hope for with my shy guy. Would book her again.”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tucker and Ruby! They each have very different personalities, and she handled them both with such care and confidence. I felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her hands — and it was clear they were well cared for and loved. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Nicole again!”

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, as a groomer, as a vet concierge, volunteered and at a animal shelter. I have also been dog training, walking, daycare, boarding and pet/dog sitting and grooming for years. I've also fostered many dogs, animals are such a passion of mine!

Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. If your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

About: I have had cats in my life for more than 30 years. I know they can range from independent to shy to super affectionate companions. I have had all of these personalities over the years with my current 18 year old cat as a very vocal and affectionate cat. I would like to offer reassurance that I would not only feed the fur baby but play and spend time with them and clean the boxes.
“Miss Anna is hands down the best sitter I've ever interacted with on Rover. She checked in on my two cats while I was out of town, and she always kept me posted. She even did little extra things for me like putting my camera robot on the charger for me 😂 After she brought up a concern regarding the other person (a family member) that was dropping in, she even agreed to do an extra check in for me. I've found my go-to!”

About: I’ve grew up around horses,dogs,chickens,cats, fish, you name it. I’ve got loads of experience with all kinds of animals, and I’m prepared to care for yours. I’m working part time at the moment so I have pretty good availability. Making an arrangement a day or two in advance would be best with me! I will care for all animals as if they were my own. I will take per caution of summer’s temperatures and pavement temperatures as well as making sure animals have fresh water when finished!
About: Hi, I’m Debbie, and I have always had dogs in my life! I retired a little over a year ago, and I love spending time with my husband and our 2 year old Golden Retriever, Frankie. He’s our second Golden and we love this breed, although we really love all dogs — cats, too! I enjoy walking Frankie and we are avid walkers in this house. I’d love to take your dog on walks, too! I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits for feeding and potty breaks (with or without Frankie tagging along, that would be up to you); I can also housesit your dog in your own home while you’re away on vacation or other travels. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m retired, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I occasionally have appointments and other activities, but I can easily fit your pet’s care into my lifestyle. I have a fully fenced backyard where my Golden Retriever, Frankie, would be ready to make friends with your dog if you’d like them to meet. If you’d prefer that your dog stay at home in his/her own surroundings, I’ll be happy to oblige whatever requests you have in order to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”

“Nayoma was great! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family. He takes a while to warm up to others but Nayoma was patient with him and he got more comfortable as the day went on. We were happy to get an update and some pictures of him throughout the day. I will definitely use Nayoma again in the future!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”

“Daryl had a great visit with Natalie and loved playing with her dog. Natalie was accommodating, responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. We would book again!”

“Having traveled from Florida, I needed a sitter quickly and for several days due to family emergency. Rex took Luna Mae immediately. He was extremely helpful, especially with fluctuating hours. His laid back nature helped me as well. I couldn't believe how excited she got when realizing where we were headed. He did a wonderful job and is really, really appreciated. Thank you Rex. We'll see you in the spring.”

About: Hi, I’m Ellen! 🐾 If your dog is family, we’re already on the same page. ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pup. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a proud dog mom to King, a big goofy pit bull mix who keeps me laughing and on my toes. I also had the privilege of caring for my beloved Yoda, who will always be a very special part of my heart. My experience with both of them has taught me just how different every dog can be—and how important patience, consistency, love, and lots of belly rubs are. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, medication reminders, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a big priority for me. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved. Your dog’s routine stays their routine. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their personality and boundaries, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I can’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog… but I can promise I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d want for King. 🐶❤️ I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🗓️ Schedule I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare, including weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal schedule and needs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, King, who loves having a buddy around. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on the pups in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your dog’s boundaries, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!
“Thanks again for providing great care to my dog, Sarah! I’m so glad your dogs and Moe get along so well. That’s great. Sarah is an awesome dog sitter if you’re looking for one.”

“Vinny had an absolute wonderful day playing! Lainey was such a terrific host, super communicative and sent so many photos and videos. It made the experience that much better! Completely Recommend!”


“Excellent day care service. Very good people, nice clean home and yard. Animals are very well cared for. Service providers went above and beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do have a dog of my own. But other then babysitting for family and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day.
About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life. My real passion is dogs and I’m focused on dog sitting/boarding/daycare, but I’m happy to take care of cats and drop in for other animals. I have owner trained (working with professional trainers) one at home service dog and am in the process of owner training a public access service dog. I use fear free training methods and animal management (no tools like e and prong collars). This means sometimes things take a little longer and look a little chaotic, but as long as all the animals are safe and as happy and healthy as possible, that’s what matters. I have two yellow labs (one bench, one field), a mixed breed rescue, and a cat. All my animals are very animal friendly. My big lab does take a noisy minute to adjust, but he’s a big sweetheart once he’s got the lay of the land. I have a yard with a living fence and a wooded property where the dogs can be walked if needed. I am home full time and just becoming an empty nester, so I have plenty of time and attention to devote to our furry friends. Most days it will just be me and the animals on our wooded property so there’s plenty of time and room for relaxation and play. I have a fairly large fenced yard and wooded surrounding property. My home is laid back and the animals are treated like family. They are welcome on furniture and have plenty of room to play and toys to play with. I just ask they be on tick and heartworm prevention as there are many bugs in the woods. I utilize positive reinforcement techniques in my home and do not use tools like e and prong collars. We use lots of treats to reward good behavior, so if there’s something your dog can’t have, please let me know. I have regular experience with basic grooming and administering meds. I have crates available if needed or preferred. I’ll do my best to care for them as you want. Our big lab, George does have some scary looking anxiety upon meeting (barking and growling). If you are boarding/daycare/meet and greet with us, George will be in a pen on leash, harness, and muzzle to start (either inside or outside weather dependent-prefer outside). As your dog explores, I will work with George to adapt to the new situation and eventually greet your dog appropriately. Once that happens, he’s good with appropriate play, boundary setting, etc…. It’s just the initial greeting that needs a little more management.

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.

“Kelli took care of both of our Labradors for a long, snowy day, and she was wonderful! Great communication and fun photos, and our dogs were so well cared for. It is so reassuring to leave our pups with someone who has so much experience caring for dogs.”

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 5 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! When I house sit he does need to come with me. He has never had issues with other dogs or cats. I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.

“Highly recommend Rachel! She was extremely flexible with some last minute changes on my end and was communicative early about when she was not available. My timid dog warmed up to her right away and Rachel did amazing at keeping goodbyes short to mininize her separation anxiety. I received plenty of photos/videos/updates and felt confident leaving Summer in her care.”

About: What sets me apart from others is my passion, knowledge, and attention to detail. I have a special interest in training and managing reactive dogs and socializing puppies! I work full time at a local vet clinic & do pet sitting on my days off (Friday-Sunday) I have 3 dogs of my own as well! I care for your pets in YOUR home which I believe makes them more comfortable! I do drop in visits with the duration of your choice. ❤️
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!

About: Having a few furry friends of my own (two cats and a corgi), I am always looking to make new furry friends and feel more than capable of providing quality care for your pets. I work an 8-5 job Monday through Friday, but can do after 5:00 drop-ins (potentially mid day drop ins when schedule allows) weekends are much more flexible and can be worked around. At my home, our corgi is crate trained and loves to play (lots of energy!). My cats could not be more opposite of each other — one of them is lovey and greets you at the door, while the other is shy and likes to hide. Either works for me!
About: Your pets deserve the best and you shouldn't have to settle for anything less. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all sorts, whether they be energetic, laid back, nervous and shy, or total goofballs. When my friends and family go out of town, I'm the person they call to watch their fur babies. I am reliable, loving, patient, thorough, and considerate of your home, expectations, and needs. I am currently working a part-time job that is 3 days a week, so I am looking to fill my time with walks, fetch, and cuddles! I am happy to comply with however you typically do things with your pets. I am experienced with dog training commands, crate training, and dog body language.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, as many of us have. I think what sets me apart is patience and experience providing medical care for elder pets.

About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.
About: I have watched cats and dogs since I was a child for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy watching their personalities when they are excited I am currently doing an online course and have plenty of time to play with your animal babies.

About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.

I live in a great apartment complex with plenty of other dogs running around a dog park and even another being built around the corner! Two pups at home to keep them entertained while you are away!
About: Currently I own 10 cats, 1 dog, and a pet rat business (Rem’s Rattery). I have experience with dog training, walking, engaging behaviors, socialization, puppy manners, and exercise. I have self trained my service dog and am mentored by Super Powers Canine Academy (SD recently washed from service due to leg pain). My husband will be in the home at the time of in-home services has hands on experience at shelters and vet care for various animals, but mainly cats and dogs. I currently use pet-sitting as a full-time job as I want to invest myself fully into caring for your fur babies! I am available at all times of the day (and night) to work with your schedule as-needed. By choosing me for your pet’s care, you can expect pictures of your pet each visit and reinforcement of any training that is a work in progress. When coming to your home I will be sure to respect your environment and ensure your pet is taken care of thoroughly to prepare for your return.
About: I have lived on a farm since I was born and animals have always been a huge part of my life! I am very passionate about making sure all furry friends live a fun and safe life! I love meeting new animals and learning all their different personalities. This summer, I am available most days to hang out with your furry friends! I am currently a teacher on summer vacation looking to make some extra money, and get in her animal fix! Message me and we can get something in the books! I am always having one eye on them at all times. Whether we are on a walk, in the backyard or just in the house. I prioritize the safety of your best friend!
“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”

About: I have over eight years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications safely and confidently. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a professional dog bather for a year, which gave me hands on experience handling dogs in high energy environments. I also worked at The Pack as a dog care specialist, where I supported dogs in group play, monitored behavior, and ensured their safety and well-being throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, cuddle time, or more specialized care, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every visit! I work full-time, but my shifts are typically 5–8 hours a day, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care before and/or after work. I’m available for morning, evening, and some midday visits depending on the day. On my days off, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. When caring for your pets, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress free in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

“I think that Maggie and Luddy had a great stay. It was so nice to have the photos of them enjoying their time with Julie and Joe. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their new surroundings by the time I picked them up the next day. In the past, Luddy had had a sitter at the house, but this was Maggie's (10-month-old puppy) first experience being away from home overnight. Since I presently do not have a fenced yard, it was great for them to have access to a yard for play without having to be leashed. Julie and Joe seem to truly enjoy having dogs visit with them, and they take good care of them and help them to feel at home. I am so grateful.”


“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Our two beagles had a great stay with Rex and family. We loved getting photo updates and could tell they felt right at home. They came home happy and tired out from all the playtime.”


“Kelli was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, we typically have family watch our dog but we were getting married and didn’t have anyone to watch her for the weekend. Kelli made us feel so comfortable with updates and pictures! Josie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and being able to explore in her big back yard. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Amanda was amazing with our two dogs! They stayed overnight and felt right at home. She was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Her fenced backyard was a plus and she treated our dogs as her own.”

“My two dogs stayed with Jenai and Sean and had the best time! I got regular updates from them about how things were going, and they were happy and loved during their stay! They came home exhausted from all of the fun! Definitely recommended!!”

“My dogs had a blast at "sleep-away camp" with Nayoma. They were well cared for, had plenty of fun time (with daily photos to prove it,) and were cared for according to our instructions. We will definately use her again.”

“Katlynn was wonderful with my two elderly pups, and she communicates well. We had a good experience boarding with her and I have no hesitation in recommending Katlynn's services to others.”

“James was great with our dogs. He was constantly sharing photos and giving us updates. He was quick to respond too. Our dogs were super happy. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future with James.”

“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”

“Willo was absolutely great with Kobe kept me updated with pictures and just did an awesome job my dog really enjoyed the company of her dogs and atmosphere surrounding her area.. I would choose her anytime”

“Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.”

“10/10 experience! My pup was well taken care of & came home happy and healthy! With such a last minute request Savannah was very responsive & answered all my questions prior to booking. I would definitely recommend booking any service with her!”

“Jamie is great! Super easy to communicate with, listened to all concerns we had and wasn't phased by any. She has a lovely calm energy, and Loki felt very at ease with her. They sent pictures and updates and responded quickly to any questions. Definitely recommend!”

“Reed and Natalie always do a great job with taking care of my puppy. He comes home happy and tired, and the pictures and videos they send of him having fun and being played with are reassuring and heartwarming. If I could give extra stars, I would.”

“Great communication, including photos of my happy dog playing with the family’s kids. Had no issue giving her refrigerated food. Thank you for taking my anxious pup on short notice and making her so comfortable!”

“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
