“Brooke was amazing. This was our first time to leave Mabel alone with someone who was not family. Brooke went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable by sending pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Brooke to care for you fur baby!”
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job watching our miniature Schnauzer, Chet, during our four day getaway. Her home has a wonderful, homey feeling that you notice the second you walk through the door. Chet loved the large fenced yard, playing with the family's black pug and playing with anyone else in the house who could. After picking Chet up, I found him to be chill, relaxed and happy. (Unlike the time I made the mistake of placing him in a kennel for a few days... that was a disaster.) I will definitely use Kaitlins services again should the need arise. Thanks Kaitlin and thanks to your wonderful family!”
“Amanda and her family were wonderful! She took our pups for a last minute booking and treated them like family. We got lots of photos from the night. I would highly recommend them for their care and love towards our babies! 🤍”
“Linda took care of Bandit when we went out of town for the fourth and July and he had so much fun! She took such great care of him and made sure to send us lots of photos to update us. She is super welcoming, responsive, and her space is very clean. I would highly recommend booking with Linda!”
“Mikala was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Remy and treated her like part of the family. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Remy was happy and comfortable. Mikala was also incredibly flexible and understanding when my drop-off plans changed multiple times, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She even reached out after I picked Remy up because she found one of Remy’s bowls and offered to ship it back to me. That level of thoughtfulness really meant a lot. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely trust Mikala with Remy again. Highly recommend!”
“Thankful Gretchen and her family were so accommodating for a last minute board. She was quick to provide pictures and give me updates on my two dogs. Definitely recommend!”
“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”
“Raelynn was great! She communicated with me each day, several times, by sending me pictures and letting me know how Rosie was adjusting. I would 100% use her again. Thank you!!”
“Echo loved staying with Deserae, she was loved and didn’t want to leave. Echo had the opportunity to run in open fields, see horses and cows and play with kids. Deserae sent multiple pictures and gave use hourly updates on how Echo was behaving. I will definitely be bringing Echo back to Deserae anytime we need dog sitting.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy we chose to leave Parker with Dylan and family during our vacation. We have what you might call a “Velcro dog” who thrives on being with people, so traditional boarding is not a great option for him. They sent us daily updates and treated Parker as one of their own during his stay. A+ service!”
“If rating system was higher, it wouldn’t be enough to compliment this fine person! A splendid experience as we were off getting married, he made sure the dogs were ABSOLUTELY LOVED and he shared the same passion that we do for these dogs. I would 100% return to this sitter.”
“Dillon was great! He sent me many updates on Beckett and was very flexible with pickup and drop off times- especially for this last minute booking. I will definitely be using him again!”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Sydney and her husband took excellent care of my dog. It was our first time using Rover and they provided reassurance through pictures and nightly updates. My dog is very particular and requires daily medications and they handled everything very well. Definitely recommend Sydney for anyone looking for care for their animals.”

“Katie took great care of my guinea pigs! Even when there was a small health problem, she handled it perfectly and I felt so much less nervous knowing she was taking care of them.”
“Angelee always goes above and beyond when taking care of our kitties. She is very attuned to each of their unique personalities and quirks. We always feel like our fur babies get extra special attention when Angelee is caring for them. She's the best!”
“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter for Meggie and Susie during our six-day trip! She provided regular updates, including pictures and notes, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she truly cared for our cats, giving them attention, playtime, and making sure they were comfortable. We came home to two happy and well-cared-for kitties, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“I have really appreciated how at ease I feel knowing that Maddison will be consistently checking on my fur babies. She is a great communicator. I already have her booked again !”
“Morgan was very sweet and took great care of my cat. She took photos and videos for us, played with her, and cuddled with her. I deeply appreciate Morgan treating our baby just like her own. Highly recommend”
“She was great with my kitty Sasha. We had a mix up on the date we were coming home and had scheduled an extra day, which worked out. We had car problems and we stayed in touch on that extra day of I would/might need. Will definitely use her again.”
“Breelyn was great! She did a great job taking care of my kitties and made sure to give me plenty of updates and pictures. I would definitely have her look after my pets again and I’d highly recommend her to others :)”
“Mackenzie went above and beyond taking care of our cat and bird! The updates and pictures she sent were so amazing at giving us peace of mind while on vacation and help a ton with how much we missed them. She was so thorough, detailed, and very attentive to our pets' needs. I cannot recommend Mackenzie enough!”
“Kellie took care of our two kitties via drop in times and the cats were doing great when we returned home. Kellie was punctual & very thorough. I will not hesitate to use her again.”
“She took great care of my cat while I was out of town! She sent lots of photos and was very quick to respond to messages. She also went out of her way to take out my trash and sweep the floors so I could come back to a clean home! I’m glad that Momo was able to make a new friend!!”
“Paige is really awesome and takes care of my cat very well when I am out of town. My cat is very happy with her. I highly recommend her service and will use her again next time when I travel.”
“Kyle is the perfect match for my Cane Corso. She’s a strong guardian breed and Kyle was knowledgeable throughout the process of meeting her to ensure a safe interaction. He is patient and kind. She looooooves him. I appreciate his thoroughness in ensuring her needs are met, Makes this dog mom’s heart smile to know she has a good caregiver.”
About: Hi, I’m Drew, a proud dog dad to my Doberman Azula Kiyoshi and my late Golden Retriever Marley Appa. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. When a pet is in my care, they’re treated like family and receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, boarding stay, or house sitting, I do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I invite you to read my reviews from other pet parents who have trusted me with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute bookings, including weekends. When your pet stays with me, their routine and comfort are my priority. I have a flexible schedule and more then willing to take last minute request on the weekends. Your pup schedule becomes my schedule. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, they will be in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you are away.
“Nicole was great with the cats while we were away. She communicated well, sent pictures, and followed all the instructions. Greatly appreciate her services and will be booking her for future visits!”
“This was my first time using River and Anna was absolutely amazing!! My cats were well taken care of and very happy! She truly is an amazing pet sitter and let us updated the entire time we were gone. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great sitter that your babies will love!!”

“Brooke took wonderful care of Foster. We need a place for a few hours while we had a dog free activity. He came back sassy and happy. We will see her again when we are in the area.”
About: I have taken care of every type of animal since I was 16 years old. I have gone to school for animal science as well to currently working on my degree as a veterinary technician and animal nutritionist. From puppies to geriatric dogs. To newborn kittens and senior cats. I can also take care of any reptiles or amphibians. Anything you need of me, I can do, including rodents. Distributing medication or even helping your dog do their daily exercise. I have knowledge and experience with previously working at the Emergency Veterinary Clinic. * Hi! Thank you for your interest in having me watch your loved ones while you plan to be away. In order to provide you with the most accurate information, please be sure to have the following before confirmation: - please make sure you have all information rover needs about your pet filled out. - Include all animals (even exotic) and feeding instructions for everyone. - Any medications or medical needs while you plan to be away. (Seizure, diabetic, etc). - Anything special that I may need to know. In order to maintain better scheduling, please note I plan to do a meet and greet up to two weeks in advance.* Please keep in mind while housesitting, I do have occasional drop in visits for other clients and try not to be gone for more than 4 hours at a time. If you are needing me to mainly stay in your home, I do charge extra. I am available anytime you need me! I have my own routine for my animals. Pet care is my priority, always. Whether its mine or yours. My animals have routine and structure. I also have a fenced in back yard. Everyone knows how the routine works as far as time outside to play, cuddle, and the feeding schedule.
“I’ve been using Heather’s pet sitting services 2–3x/week for over 2 years now. She is the absolute best. She will provide such loving, enriching care for your dog. My dog is exhausted from all the play and excitement when I come to pick her up, and that’s exactly what she needs because she doesn’t get enough of that otherwise. Heather has gone out of her way countless times to make sure my dog is taken care of. I’d never consider another dog sitter at this point unless I absolutely had to.”
“Super responsive, nice, and great place to drop your dogo off for the day. Sent updates all day. My puppy was tuckered out by the time I picked him up. Thank you Gretchen!”
“Great with our two dogs! Extremely patient and kind with our very vocal husky mix, and skittish collie. There is plenty of room for dogs to feel safe in their own areas. Will be using again for sitting needs.”
“Levi has done a wonderful job watching Bruno while I am at work. Bruno was nervous in his first week but now is really excited to get to go see Levi and his two pups Mushu and Buddy each day and comes home exhausted from having such a good time. Thank you Levi!”
“Ashley's simply the best. You know someone knows dogs well when the dogs are happy and excited to go visit her. I can't say enough about how much thought and care she puts into everything her and her family do to help others out and their fur babies.”
“Jackie and Micheal were absolutely amazing and really exceeded my expectations! They were communicative, attentive, & so incredible with my Sadie! I would highly recommend these folks to care for your fur baby! They understood how to care for Sadie and were so patient with her! love them seriously!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, helping my parents raise English and French bulldogs for 10 years in our family kennel, which was USDA certified. I've always had at least two dogs in the house (plus the 32 we owned in the kennel!) and I now have two dogs of my own (ages 13 and 3) at home with my husband. I have been raising/house training dogs almost my entire life and I love them to pieces! I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I love going on walks with them and playing with them. I am a stay at home mom, so I am almost always available, with the exception of Sundays between 10 am and 3 pm. Please drop off for a boarding stay or schedule a drop-in/dog walk time either before or after those times on Sundays. I am available for meet and greets every weekend and every weeknight after 5pm! I can't wait to love on your pup! I currently work from home on a flexible schedule: I can do drop-ins before 7:30am, on my lunch break at noon and after 5pm, and I'm available for drop off any time during the day if you let me know in advance. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs who have separate sleeping spaces. All dogs eat in their crates (please bring a crate for boarding) and sleep in them at night with the exception of our shepsky who sleeps in our bedroom. Dogs can all be separated or together as needed and are free to go outside all day every day through the dog door.
“I am so thankful for Linda!! I was in a bind and needed someone to watch my Mabel fast! The very next day Linda was able to take her in and took very good care of my crazy pup! ❤️”
“Amanda was great. Mason had a great time and was very happy and playful when we picked up. We needed her on VERY short notice due to a family member being in hospital, and she was very accommodating!!! Will definitely us again if needed!!!!”
“First time ever leaving my fur babies with a stranger, and I am happy I chose the right person to do so. Courtney and her kids were incredibly helpful and took great care of my 10-year-old Boxer and 13-year-old Plott Hound. They made sure both dogs felt comfortable and at ease. Their home was clean and welcoming, and the kids and toys kept my dogs happy and entertained the whole time. Definitely would go back to Courtney if I am in town again!”
About: Hello and welcome to our little side of dog paradise! I will need a meet and greet before I can commit to any extent of stay. All dogs must be current on shots and show no symptoms of infection or intestinal issues. Charlie, my last dog was a dachshund, she was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.
“Franco had a wonderful stay with Deserae. Couldn't have asked for a better one, with huge yard to play in and with other dogs to socialize and be trained in. I would definitely seek her again if we are in the area. He was worn out from so much playing and running. Pics exchanged show how happy he was!”
“We really appreciated that Jadyn was able to take care of our Roxie last minute. We love that he is really fast in responding back and adaptive to our schedule (which is super helpful). On top of that he is really polite and respectful and Roxie loved him since the moment she saw him :)))”
“So glad I found a sitter I can trust! Wally loves visiting with Piper and making new friends. He seems to be very content here. I’m grateful for the pics, videos, updates, etc and making sure he gets some rest during the boundless energy he has.”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!
About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!

“Steffany has been wonderful! She has watched my dog Lucy when I was out of town and has been a recurrent walker for my dog Linus for the last few weeks! She is super attentive to the dogs, she leaves detailed feedback about her time with the dogs and the most adorable photos for me to see when im away and missing the doggies! Will definitely use in the future as well!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver. I am currently a Frenchie (3yrs) mom, however I have experience with senior care, large dog breeds, and puppy training (under 1yrs)! Also fluent in Spanish if translation services are needed I am currently working part-time so I am frequently available for pet sitting or pet check-ups! I am most available Thursday-Sundays, Mondays & Tuesdays before 2pm! I have a friendly French bulldog that can keep your fur-child company and a mobile grate I can bring if needed. Also I am very attentive to detail and schedule building depending on your pet’s needs!
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with them throughout my childhood. While I haven’t been in the right season of life to have a dog of my own just yet, spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy and value. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and helping dogs burn off energy while having fun. More importantly, I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they’re with me. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them happy and helping them feel at ease. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra attention, playtime, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and affection I would give my own. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re in my care. I am currently working from home Monday through Friday, but have lots of flexibility within my schedule throughout the week. I am also available for weekends as needed! I currently live in an apartment, so I provide care in your home or through walks and outdoor exercise in safe, public spaces. In-home care allows your dog to stay in a familiar environment, stick to their normal routine, and feel more comfortable while you’re away. I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific routines your dog is used to. My goal is to reduce stress for both you and your pet by keeping everything as normal and calm as possible. Whether it’s stopping by for walks, spending time with your dog in your home, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention outdoors, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every visit.
About: I’ve grown up in a household with multiple dogs and have two summers of hands-on experience working at Petsuites in Lee’s Summit. Through boarding, daycare, and grooming support, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, supervising playgroups, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a college student-athlete, I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, playtime, and outdoor activity but can also enjoy a laid back day in with a pup. I’m responsible, dependable, and used to maintaining structured schedules and routines. I am currently a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. As a student-athlete, I’m very active and enjoy spending time outside, going on walks, and keeping pets engaged through playtime and activity. I’m used to maintaining structured routines and making sure pets receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have grown up in a multi-dog household and currently have three friendly dogs at home that are well-socialized with dogs, cats, and children. My experience working at Petsuites also taught me the importance of safe introductions, supervision, structured routines, and recognizing different pet temperaments. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, routines, medications, and comfort level to help them feel safe and cared for.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and currently have three. I’m new to using the Rover app but have always been taking care of dogs and have even helped my parents dog-sit on Rover! I’m a full time college student so I will be busy during work hours but my early mornings and afternoons are generally free! I am out of town some weekends but most I am in Springfield! I love animals and I’m very patient with them. I’m good at reading what dogs need and how they’re feeling. I’m also aware that every animal is different and requires its own special attention!
About: My experience includes years of boarding French Bulldogs and other breeds right alongside my daily routine. I know how important consistent bathroom breaks are, so I've always made it a priority to check in throughout the day to let dogs out when owners are gone. Every dog deserves attentive, reliable care — and that's exactly what I provide. As a remote worker, my schedule is flexible and dogs fit perfectly into my daily routine! I love getting outside and staying active, so walks are already a big part of my day. I can easily take calls and catch up on work while keeping your pup moving and entertained. Your dog won't just be watched — they'll be an active part of my day! I always trust and respect what the owner knows best about their dog. Every pup is different, and no one knows them better than their family. I also understand that I'm a stranger at first, so I never rush the process — I let the dog set the pace and come to me on their own terms. Building trust takes time and I'm always patient and respectful of every dog's boundaries.
“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”
About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets from as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, I currently have 3, whom I love dearly. Meeting new pets and taking care of them make me extremely happy. Dropping in on doggies and cats is my job. I throughly enjoy walking, playing, and taking care of animals. It’s something I look forward to every day. I make sure to clean up after myself after every visit. I’ll communicate with the owner throughout my visits, asking questions when I have them or letting the owners know if there are any problems while they are away.
“Mackenzie went above and beyond for my pup! My poor baby had an emergency vet visit earlier in the morning but Mackenzie took such great care of my dog when she let her out for a potty break and attempted walk. She was extremely attentive and thoughtful with my baby. She even brought my packages inside!”
About: I’ve been around and exposed to animals of many kinds since I was a kid and can’t wait to get to know yours! I know the basics of taking care of cats and dogs and I’m willing to learn more! I’m a college student with a part-time job but my days and weeks are very flexible and adaptable so I’ll be able to fit your pets right on in! As a college student, I’m not allowed to have pets in my dorm so instead, I come to you! I would love to be able to take care of and play with your pet in whatever way you/they need!
“Anastasia (Kristi) was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help tire our pup out with some exercise, and did some bonus training and cuddles. Our lab mix Kadee Buggins really soaked it up and we can’t wait to book her again! Very kind. Very professional. Extremely fast response rate and excellent communication with the visit. I felt so at ease and knew my dog was in great hands with Kristi.”

Your animal deserves the consistent care that I can provide.

“Kaitlin did a wonderful job watching our miniature Schnauzer, Chet, during our four day getaway. Her home has a wonderful, homey feeling that you notice the second you walk through the door. Chet loved the large fenced yard, playing with the family's black pug and playing with anyone else in the house who could. After picking Chet up, I found him to be chill, relaxed and happy. (Unlike the time I made the mistake of placing him in a kennel for a few days... that was a disaster.) I will definitely use Kaitlins services again should the need arise. Thanks Kaitlin and thanks to your wonderful family!”
“Mikala was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Remy and treated her like part of the family. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Remy was happy and comfortable. Mikala was also incredibly flexible and understanding when my drop-off plans changed multiple times, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She even reached out after I picked Remy up because she found one of Remy’s bowls and offered to ship it back to me. That level of thoughtfulness really meant a lot. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely trust Mikala with Remy again. Highly recommend!”
“Raelynn was great! She communicated with me each day, several times, by sending me pictures and letting me know how Rosie was adjusting. I would 100% use her again. Thank you!!”
“Echo loved staying with Deserae, she was loved and didn’t want to leave. Echo had the opportunity to run in open fields, see horses and cows and play with kids. Deserae sent multiple pictures and gave use hourly updates on how Echo was behaving. I will definitely be bringing Echo back to Deserae anytime we need dog sitting.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy we chose to leave Parker with Dylan and family during our vacation. We have what you might call a “Velcro dog” who thrives on being with people, so traditional boarding is not a great option for him. They sent us daily updates and treated Parker as one of their own during his stay. A+ service!”
“If rating system was higher, it wouldn’t be enough to compliment this fine person! A splendid experience as we were off getting married, he made sure the dogs were ABSOLUTELY LOVED and he shared the same passion that we do for these dogs. I would 100% return to this sitter.”
“Dillon was great! He sent me many updates on Beckett and was very flexible with pickup and drop off times- especially for this last minute booking. I will definitely be using him again!”
“Sydney and her husband took excellent care of my dog. It was our first time using Rover and they provided reassurance through pictures and nightly updates. My dog is very particular and requires daily medications and they handled everything very well. Definitely recommend Sydney for anyone looking for care for their animals.”
“Tiffany is a joy and truly loves the pets she cares for. Our pet was well cared for and had such a great experience with Tiffany. She is excellent at communicating and keeping us up-to-date! She went out of her way to provide the best service and care for our pet!! We are so glad we met her and will definitely reach out to her again!”
“As always amazing! This one was a long stay, over 2 weeks! But I never ever worry, not for a moment. Every day is fun day when they are with Karen & Del. Ellie didn’t want to come home lol. Thank you!”
“My dogs received the best care from Sabrina. She communicated often and shared fun photos and videos. They loved playing with her dog Dottie and were well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone needing a loving dog sitter.”
“Our dog had a great time playing with Megan’s dogs and staying with her. When we came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! She was sensitive to the fact that he is older and took good care of him. We are thankful to find her and her husband!”
“Courtney sent pictures and updates everyday, and she was flexible when I needed to pick my dog up a few hours earlier than I had first told her. Her kids were really sweet and I know my dog had a great week with them. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Thank you, Courtney!!”
“Ashley was the best find for us and our dog. She has a great structure at her place, clearly experienced and was very understanding of our dog’s behavior challenges. I am very self conscious about our dog’s reactivity and we are so glad to have found someone we can trust to handle our very energetic and jumper pup, she is our top choice from now on.”
