“Hatsuki is the sweetest and kindest sitter I’ve ever had! Gizmo was very happy, I could tell he was well loved and taken care of by all the amazing photos and updates she provided. I am extremely grateful for the genuine care and kindness! Thank you!”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Karen was great with my dogs. We will definitely be coming back. She sent pictures the whole time they were with her and kept in constant communication. She was great and we will definitely be using her services.”
“Katherine was great! She treated our Rudy just like he was her own. She let him snuggle on the couch, and she has the best backyard that the dogs can use. She sent us pictures and video updates. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Amber was awesome! She did a wonderful job taking care of our 8 & 11 year old GSPs. We loved that she only takes one booking at a time so she could help deal with some separation anxiety and give special attention when required. The dogs were well taken care of and got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend!”
“Nate and Whitney came to our rescue for a last minute visit with relatives. They sent lots of pictures and kept us informed of how Biggs was doing. We could enjoy our visit knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much!”
“Amber and her daughters took great care of Brutus for a week. He was spoiled with chicken in his food, sleeping in their beds, and with the company of Amber's sweet little curly furby, and others that were staying with her. He was worn out when I picked him up and slept all the way home. He enjoyed Amber's huge fenced back yard and air conditioned house too! Thanks Amber and kids, We'll be back!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“EMILY was great you could tell she really loved dogs. And it was really great to get pictures and videos while I was away. I’m sure Gracie was well taken care of while she was there as well as having to playmates to hang out with.”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
“Jeanie was wonderful with our cockapoo Lily, who has a lot of anxiety, when she took care of her for 4 days. Jeanie even did her errands ahead of time so she wouldn't have to leave Lily alone. She went beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much Jeanie!”
“Ashley treated my pup to a great stay by taking the time to learn about him beforehand, maintaining his routines, and meeting his (often excessive) demands for belly rubs and snuggles. She provided me with updates and photos too. An overall great experience!!”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“I was away for 2 months and during this time Greg took excellent care of my dog Max. He kept me updated with messages and pictures of Max's activities. He feed him the specific food I had requested along with specific joint nutrients. Greg is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs and cats. At one point Max's stool became a bit soft and Greg knew exactly what to do to get things right. The home environment with his children is very clean, friendly and caring. I think Max enjoyed it so much he probably didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use Greg in the future.”
“I hate to leave a review and share our secret spot but... Anna was amazing with our skittish/grumpy mini dachshund. She walked, played with, and even did training with her. We received many pictures and videos while we were away. Our dog received so much attention and toy play that she came home and slept for about 3 days! We will definitely use Anna again!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Jacob. We were pretty nervous about leaving Reina since she’s a rescue and can be a little anxious around new people, but Jacob immediately put us at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes about Reina’s routine, what she likes, and her do’s and don’ts. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. While we were away, he kept us updated with plenty of pictures and communicated with us consistently, which made a huge difference and allowed us to actually relax on our trip. Every update showed us that Reina was being well cared for and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and truly cares about your dog, we highly recommend Jacob. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”

“Emma did fantastic! She always communicated with me and went the extra mile for my requests to make sure I wouldn’t worry about my cat while I’m on vacation. I was nervous to leave him behind but Emma has made sure he’s doing well and kept me in the loop along the way!”
“Bradley is a wonderful petsitter. My 5 geriatric cats are a handful to care for, and he did a great job. They were all calm and happy when I returned home, even though I was gone a pretty long time. Bradley is gentle with animals and really has a knack for this. I highly recommend him to all pet owners.”
“Monroe always goes above and beyond whenever our cats need tending to! It’s wonderful to have someone like Monroe to depend on when we’re gone for long periods!”
“Jody was awesome. She is very caring and took great care of my babies when I needed help this week. I highly recommend her. I have 3 dogs and two cats all with different personalities. Jody understood each one and took great care of them the way they needed.”
“Karen is wonderful. She took amazing care of my finicky kitties. I loved her commentary on each visit and the pictures she took. It made me feel more comfortable with leaving them and knowing they were in good hands so I didn't have to stress about it. Thanks so much to Karen!!!!”
“Sierra did a great job with our kitties - per usual! We know that when we’re out of town they’ll be well taken care of. She sends great pictures of them in each rover card too!”
“Taylor took great care of my two cats. She was a great communicator while I was away, when one of my cats threw up, and gave my cat his daily gabapentin while I was away on a trip. Very communicative and trustworthy.”
“Amanda was an incredible sitter for our cats. We had a few specific dietary instructions, and each cat received exactly what they needed. She even went out of her way to bring in some packages that we had delivered! I would absolutely have Amanda check in on our pets another time.”
“Isabel was fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my cats for two weeks, but she took care of them so well and I felt very at ease thanks to her! She arrived to the meet and greet with her own special forms to take notes, was extremely detailed, and so sweet with the kitties :) Would definitely book again in the future!!”
“Gregory always takes great care of our pets. I never have to worry when they are there, he gets them all settled in like they are part of the family!”
“As a first time Rover user, I was a bit apprehensive about being away from my kitty for the first time. Brooke quickly put those concerns to rest with her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have rescued animals and taken care of them my entire life:) I have unbreakably strong empathy for animals in need, and their owners! I’ve had experience with administering medication to my own rescues, and experience with elderly dog/kitty care. I devote my time and energy happily to every animal I meet, and no fur baby goes unnoticed or uncared for. As long as your pet is under my care, they will always be safe and loved! I’m working part time currently, so I have plenty of availability to take on fur babies! I’m available every weekday for anytime, and weekends after 3pm I have a fenced in back patio, and plenty of outdoor space for walks and potties! And I have two kitties of my own to keep any other puppies/kitties company. I have a two story townhouse where there is plenty of space
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”
“She was amazing! Took care of me 2 baby kitties. She was on time, played with cats, and fed them as I needed. She also sent regular updates and was open to changes. Would recommend!”
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
About: I have had cats my entire life, they are my favorite pet. I have three cats currently. Two of them require daily pills, so I am comfortable with giving medication. I had one cat who became diabetic in his later years, so I also have experience with cats who require injections. I am happy to learn anything else needed to keep your cat happy and healthy while I look after them.
About: Hi my name is Anna and you can trust that your pet will be treated with the most genuine care as if they were one of my own. I’ve own dogs my whole life and I’ve cared and trained each one of them. I have been able to walk and care for 4 pups at once from small dogs up to 120 pounds so there’s nothing I can’t handle. I will pamper your baby, make sure they are fed, take their potty breaks, take medication if needed, play time and lots of belly rubs and kisses. You will be able to go on about your day worry free that your fur baby is in the greatest hands being spoiled and having the time of their life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide photo and video updates for peace of mind.

“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”
“Arlissa is so great with Zoey. Every time Zoey is dropped off she gets so excited, which is so nice to see as a pet parent. Arlissa also sends photo and video of Zoey. Overall, I highly recommend.”
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
“Jeanie was so sweet and excited to have my senior pup! She sent me a couple pictures and an update to ease my mind dropping him off somewhere new. Xavier did great at her house and I could tell he was very comfortable with her when I picked him up. I’m super thankful to have found her in a pinch. Now, I know I can drop him off again!”
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game

About: Hi! I have had pets throughout my life. I am a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that pets are family, and I will provide a safe and loving environment for them while you’re away. I am attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. As an online graduate student I am home most of the day.

About: Hello there! My name is Abby and I am a 28 year old exotic animal keeper, as well as cats and dogs. I have several different species ranging from large snakes to chameleons. I have been caring for exotic species for the last five years. I also care for dogs and cats. I’ve had 20 years of dog and cat care experience. I got my first dog, Sophie, when I was just five years old. Throughout the years, I cared for her and many other dogs and cats growing up. Right now, I have four of my own dogs and fourteen cats who are extremely spoiled! When watching your pet, expect them to be spoiled and loved just like they’re my own. I have experience with giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also had a senior cat that required special care and know how to provide care for any senior animal. I can care for your exotic animals in my house, as I have a separate room for my own exotics. Dogs and cats that stay with me will have their own room and set up as well. I also can provide drop in visits for your furry friends. For cats, I provide toys, cat trees, cat beds, and a hammock. I ask that you bring their food, bowls, litter, and litter boxes and any other special items they may need. Same goes for any dogs :) I have worked as a foster for shelters in Columbus for three years as well, so I am used to providing 24/7 care for other animals. I work from home full time, so I am able to have a very flexible schedule. If you need your animal cared for in my home, I am able to provide that service. I get off of work in the early evening, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits after work. My yard is fenced in, which is great for your doggie kiddos. I also do not let my cats outdoors, so any cat staying with me will be safe in the home. I have a dedicated room in our home where I house all of my rover guests away from our pets. Small dogs are okay to be boarded in my home, as well as any cats as long as they are litter box trained.
“Mollie was wonderful with our 6mo old Bullmastiff puppy! We were passing through during a road trip. We wanted a day to go to a museum, and our puppy needed a day of good exercise. Our dog had a great day with Mollie, her hubby, and their dogs. We are so grateful we found her and highly recommend her!”
“Just wanted to thank Michelle and her husband for watching our dog Maggie for 2 days on short notice after a death in our family. Maggie is a recent rescue who does have some separation anxiety. Michelle and her husband were very caring and accommodating. They have a beautiful yard with nice fenced in area for the dogs. She is very knowledgeable in animal care. Michelle kept me updated on how Maggie was doing. Maggie seemed to be very happy when I picked her up. She really liked Michelle's husband who has calm and soft spoken disposition. Than you again Michelle!”

“Karen is dependable and punctual! She is very professional and at the same time I can tell my dog really enjoyed his walks with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I will not hesitate to request her again. Her knowledge about dogs is also extremely helpful. I needed someone to walk my dog after a surgical procedure and I couldn’t be more happy that I chose Karen.”

About: I've been a devoted dog parent to my own pup for 3 years, who truly means the world to me. Caring for her has taught me how important patience, gentleness, consistency, exercise, and affection are for a happy dog.

Through those experiences, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Dogs have always had a special place in my life, and I treat every dog like family.

About: I have had animals my whole life. Mostly cats, dogs and rats. I have experience with diabetic dogs and cats, so I am comfortable giving insulin injections if needed. I also have two cats currently that require daily pills, so I have experience in that as well. If your pet requires anything else specific to keep them happy and healthy, I am happy to learn their needs and routines. I am currently an artist that sells my work online and at some in person events. This generally leaves me with a lot of flexibility during the weekdays and weekends where I am not at events. I will keep my availability up to date so that it can accurately show when I am able to come check on your fur baby. I think its most important for your pets to feel safe with me, so I always try to introduce myself slowly and maintain any routines your household has developed for them. I am also happy to send daily photos as I check in, that always makes me feel better when I am away from my cats, so happy to do that or anything else to have you feel good about leaving your furry family in my care.
About: Hello, I’m Saisha! Lover of all animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. My first dog I got at 8 years old, she kept running away from her owner (at the time) and coming to my house, soon after, she became my family’s dog. She lived till 17. A beautiful girl named Peanut. We then got Jackson who lived to be 13-14 and died just a couple years ago. Since then, I’ve been attached to all animals. My mom has always had dogs (most of them she got when they were puppies) and I grew up with them. Walked them, took them to vet appointments, gave them medication, cuddled them, loved them unconditionally. Then I got older and realized I wanted something besides a dog, I got turtles, a leopard gecko and a hamster, and then moved out and got dogs of my own. I did a lot of research on all my animals to make sure I was giving them the proper care and they had and have regular vet checks. I now have three dogs, three guinea pigs, fish and a bearded dragon. Missy is my papillon mix who is around 4 years old and she is the sweetest, most playful girl. Wouldn’t hurt a fly. Bulma is my miniature dachshund mix and is the most caring dog I’ve ever met, just wants love 24/7. She’s four years old. Gary is my Pomeranian who’s around 11 years old and has a collapsed trachea and has been on medication for multiple years. I’m very familiar with giving pet’s medications. I had two elderly dogs who passed away in 2022 who were also on multiple medications. I had to syringe feed my leopard gecko before she passed away of bone cancer. I did and will continue to do anything for my pets that make them live their longest and healthiest life 💚 Animals are the most important to me, so I am hoping to do this as much as possible. I am available for walks (fast paced or slow), letting your pet out to potty, giving medications, playing and cuddling, feeding them, changing litter, and babysitting at my home! I want to do anything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe. Whether that is sitting with them on the couch watching tv, or playing with them in the backyard. I am open to a variety of ways to take care of your pet. I can administer medication if need be to your fur baby. I love to pet and cuddle animals, but if your pet is more of a loner/doesn’t really like being touched than I am totally okay with giving them the space they like. Whatever it takes for your animals to feel comfortable around me. I will love and treat them like my own no matter what. I can pick up on dog behavior and I can understand when they’re uncomfortable, and at the point, I’ll step away and give them the space they deserve. Every animal and dog deserves boundaries!
“Autumn was such a huge help while I was working. She made sure Koda went on good walks and spent the time to come meet us before we started walking! She is on time and great with animals”
“Dorothy was great! Very friendly and good with Luna. She sent pictures during each walk so I could see my pup was getting attention! I would definitely book her again!”
About: Hi my name is Anna and you can trust that your pet will be treated with the most genuine care as if they were one of my own. I’ve own dogs my whole life and I’ve cared and trained each one of them. I have been able to walk and care for 4 pups at once from small dogs up to 120 pounds so there’s nothing I can’t handle. I will pamper your baby, make sure they are fed, take their potty breaks, take medication if needed, play time and lots of belly rubs and kisses. You will be able to go on about your day worry free that your fur baby is in the greatest hands being spoiled and having the time of their life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide photo and video updates for peace of mind.
“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”
“we just met Brooke a few weeks ago - but already my Molly loves her! she has made it out for walks even through these snow storms - i am so grateful to find someone to help me with keeping Molly active since i can't do it anymore”

“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Karen was great with my dogs. We will definitely be coming back. She sent pictures the whole time they were with her and kept in constant communication. She was great and we will definitely be using her services.”
“Katherine was great! She treated our Rudy just like he was her own. She let him snuggle on the couch, and she has the best backyard that the dogs can use. She sent us pictures and video updates. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Amber was awesome! She did a wonderful job taking care of our 8 & 11 year old GSPs. We loved that she only takes one booking at a time so she could help deal with some separation anxiety and give special attention when required. The dogs were well taken care of and got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend!”
“Nate and Whitney came to our rescue for a last minute visit with relatives. They sent lots of pictures and kept us informed of how Biggs was doing. We could enjoy our visit knowing he was in great hands! Thank you so much!”
“Amber and her daughters took great care of Brutus for a week. He was spoiled with chicken in his food, sleeping in their beds, and with the company of Amber's sweet little curly furby, and others that were staying with her. He was worn out when I picked him up and slept all the way home. He enjoyed Amber's huge fenced back yard and air conditioned house too! Thanks Amber and kids, We'll be back!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“EMILY was great you could tell she really loved dogs. And it was really great to get pictures and videos while I was away. I’m sure Gracie was well taken care of while she was there as well as having to playmates to hang out with.”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”
“I was away for 2 months and during this time Greg took excellent care of my dog Max. He kept me updated with messages and pictures of Max's activities. He feed him the specific food I had requested along with specific joint nutrients. Greg is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs and cats. At one point Max's stool became a bit soft and Greg knew exactly what to do to get things right. The home environment with his children is very clean, friendly and caring. I think Max enjoyed it so much he probably didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use Greg in the future.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Jacob. We were pretty nervous about leaving Reina since she’s a rescue and can be a little anxious around new people, but Jacob immediately put us at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes about Reina’s routine, what she likes, and her do’s and don’ts. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. While we were away, he kept us updated with plenty of pictures and communicated with us consistently, which made a huge difference and allowed us to actually relax on our trip. Every update showed us that Reina was being well cared for and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and truly cares about your dog, we highly recommend Jacob. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Sierra was scheduled to sit our two pups while we were out of town for 5 days. Unfortunately, our eldest Dozer, had a mast cell tumor that needed to be removed immediately a few days before our departure. Sierra was extra careful with him and even took him into the vet when his incision became infected. She sent pictures a few times a day and was extremely responsive. She is byfar the best sitter we've found on Rover and would highly recommend her to watch your pups. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”
“Tammy was great with our dog Murphy. Murph had such a blast hanging out in her backyard and hanging out with her dog Sadie. We felt very comfortable leaving Murphy in her care and would highly recommend her!”
“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
