Personalized care for your dog or cat - Laurel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Laurel
“We were very happy with Kim. She communicates really well and is great with dogs. We were using another sitter and we would get our dog returned a hot mess— but not with Kim. She is very kind, and caters to our dog’s needs and preferences to make their stay very easy and comfortable.”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“Avery was AMAZING with our German Shepherd puppy Maverick! She kept us in the loop daily with pictures and texts. She took him on multiple walks a day, got him a pup cup, and even took him to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. If you’re looking for a sitter who will dedicate 100% of her time to your dog, Avery is the one!”
“The only regret we have is that Alycia and Scott are not available to watch Stanley ALL of the time! Stanley loves it there, they tolerate his puppy behavior and take wonderful care of him! Can't say enough good things about them!”
“Rachel stepped in and helped me out after another Rover cancelled on me less than 24 hrs before my scheduled travel. I’m very appreciative - and fortunate! Rachel is a pro sitter - my greyhound was well taken care of and always had company (dogs & people). I highly recommend Rachel (and family) and will have Prince visit again.”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Very pleasant experience. You can tell Dana and Jason are dog lovers. Our dog had a good time and got on well with their dogs. We especially like that Dana works from home so someone is with dogs most all ofvthe time. Will definitely use again, in fact already booked another visit!”
“Matthew & Jill were kind, considerate and friendly not only with us; but with our two dogs Juneau and Barrow. When we leave our dogs with these nice people, they are anxious to run to the door seeking new adventures, smells and to say hello to their family. When we pick them up, they are clean, happy and well adjusted from being away from us. Matthew and Jill have always been flexible and considerate. These two conduct their business in the true fashion of what Rover began with in the first place. It's not a kennel or boarding facility; but they welcome our dogs into their home life.”
“Oscar enjoyed his stay and came home perfectly relaxed from a stress free time away from home. We were very pleased with the care he received from this family!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Amy and the care that she provided for our Rosie! Amy was very responsive and gave us a run down of her home/where Rosie would be spending her time. She has a very large fenced in area with plenty of toys and space for your pet to run! She updated us throughout the stay with photos of Rosie playing with other dogs, receiving cuddles, and even on a walk! We are so glad we found Amy and will definitely book with her again. It is clear she takes care of all dogs like they are her own.”
“It was our first time using Rover and Wynn did an excellent job making sure our pup Saint was comfortable as well as being great with communication. The photo updates were definitely a plus ! Would definitely book again in the future !”
“Emily was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated through the stay. I had a great experience with her and would absolutely recommend her and her family!”
“Debbie was all that our girl, Rose needed and more! We were thrilled with the care that Debbie and hubby Randy provided for her. Rose is a rescue and used to being an "only child" and Debbie worked with us and our needs. Debbie was so kind to send us pics and videos while we were away showing that Rose loved her temporary home with Debbie and Randy and she can't wait to visit again when we are away for spring break! :) Thank you, Debbie!”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing and has a gorgeous home! She willingly accepted our two small dogs (27 pound terrier mix and 15 pound minpin) on sort of a last minute booking after 2 others canceled. She graciously let us introduce our dogs to herself and her husband. The dogs received so much love while we were gone for the long weekend that I wasn't sure they were going to want to come home! Stephanie asked lots of important questions and made me feel very safe leaving my dogs there. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Can’t recommend Patricia enough! She took care of my fur baby like it was hers and I appreciate that a lot! I had a lot of reports through Dom’s stay with her, and photos🫶🏻; she really care for our doggies and played with them and give them love and attention and they won’t feel far from home. Best sitter so far!🤍”

“Hayleigh was absolutely incredible during her check‑in visits with Luna and Charles over the past couple weeks. Her communication was flawless—transparent, detailed, and consistent every single day. I always knew exactly how the pups were doing, and it was clear they adored her. She cared for them as if they were her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our cat! She was quick to respond and easy to work with to book the dates we needed. She sent great pictures and updates throughout the week that made us rest assured our cat was in good hands and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!”
“Debra was attentive, leaving great notes and photos each day so that I would be updated and kept in the loop. I was also lucky that she was able to work in my last minute job and offered to come by for a very last minute meet and greet which was so very appreciated! I would highly recommend!”
“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”
“Had 4 drop in visits for 2 cats over a weekend and was very satisfied; on-time, very knowledgeable, cats liked her, respectful, and did very well. 10/10 would recommend for any pet care needs.”

I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to keep your cat safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether your kitty loves cuddles, quiet company, or interactive play, I’ll make sure they feel secure and well cared for.
“Avery is amazing!! I feel so comfortable on vacation knowing she loves and cares for my cats. I can’t say thank you enough. This is our second time having Avery and will continue to book her in the future. You’re the best!!”
About: 7 years of cat care with the basic necessities, play time to enrich their lives, and the ability to give medication and handle medical equipment if needed. Provided IV’s for my own cat through home care during his final year of life.
“Alex did a fabulous job with our very picky kitty! Very responsive and incredibly helpful with our many requests! Thank you so much for everything Alex and we can’t wait to have you take care of Zelda again!”
About: I have an enormous amount of experience with animal care. I earned a bachelor's degree in zoology, am a pet groomer (dogs and cats), and have a lot of experience administering medications through my previous job as a zookeeper! I also have two cats of my own that I love dearly, Mochi and Eclair! (Momo and Clair for short)!
About: Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am currently 25 years old and one major thing about me is that I will love any pet like my own. I have never met a dog I haven't loved and truly I just don’t think it’s in the cards for me! As for experiences with pet sitting, my first experience was in high school. I would help care for pets of close relatives when they went out of town on weekends, as well as, provided walks and feedings on date nights. It was such an incredible feeling, not only getting to spend time and care for pets outside of my home but to be trusted enough within their loving homes. Little did 17 year old me know what was to come. At 18 I started being reached out to by friends of friends and more distant relatives, simply by word of mouth. It felt like a dream and still does to this day that people speak so kindly of me without any hesitation. I quickly realized just how fulfilling and passionate I am about caring for pets and soon applied and got accepted to work part time at a dog boarding center for 3 years, alongside my personal pet sitting gigs. As loving and supportive my coworkers and I tried to make it, it truly never did compare to the at home services I was simultaneously doing. Working there truly transformed my views on just how valuable and meaningful it is for both the pets and parents to feel loved and cared for in the safety and comfort of their own home, and how important and special it is to stay on their selected routines in a timely manner. As many can assume, caring for 20ish dogs at a time is much less personalized and catered towards them as a whole rather than their specific needs. I started to feel bothered and would find myself frustrated when dogs I learned to love so much were not taken care of in ways they deserved. Some on the more nervous and anxious side were put into situations they were not comfortable in and was heart wrenching to know they would so much rather be cared for at homes. Now stating this, of course some dogs are cut out for the rambunctious and social life and love it, although, definitely not all and leaving the facility was a hard but dedicated decision to put in my upmost effort to provide for dogs with detailed and trusted care at all hours, catered towards each lifestyle individually. I now currently have a list of almost 20 clients, some from when I was 17, to some I have just met this past year who reach out to me for animal care. I can’t help but assume more dogs could be cared for one-on-one under personal comforting care and I would love nothing more than to continue and expand my journey on loving and caring for pets locally around the Cincinnati area! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I currently nanny part time as well as work part time for concerts under live nation entertainment. Pet sitting truly has become my main focus especially this year so I value part time jobs that currently give me great amounts of flexibility and freedom to change and switch around schedules when and if ever needed! Alongside providing specialized care for pets, I fully endorse the upmost respect for people inviting me into their homes. I understand how important trust and communication is from both sides and how every home security is catered different towards one another. I find myself constantly double checking locked doors and really treat each home like my own, following all instructions given by the home owner.
About: Hey, my name is Maddie! I am a firefighter and absolutely love dogs! I have several years of experience with dogs of all kind. I currently have two dogs. One West Highland Terrier, Rocky and one Corgi, Rogue! Ever since I was little I have loved dogs more than most people! I even have experience with diabetic dogs as our oldest dog Coconut was diagnosed when he was 6 - I had to give insulin shots twice a day and he lived a long and happy life until he passed at 15. I promise your dog will be in great hands with me and I will treat them no less than my own! 🤍 I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know and love your animals! I will send photos, videos and check up texts throughout your dogs walk/ stay or when I go check on them. Thank you for choosing me! I am a firefighter and have a good amount of time off during the week. Looking to do some extra dog watching and care taking ❤️ I am very good with animals and love to bond with them. I enjoy playing with their favorite toys, taking them for walks or just enjoying some free snuggles!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Laurel
About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.
“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
“Amy was an amazing host for my dog. She went above and beyond to communicate to us, set expectations, and provide an incredibly hospitable experience for my dog. Thank you!”
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)
“We enjoyed meeting Jonathan! We left Scotty with him while we attended a concert. He is quick to respond to texts and we appreciated his flexibility around not knowing exactly when we could get back. We would happily use Jonathan again to care for our dogs!”
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
About: Warning ⚠️! Your furry companion will be worn out with fun activities in my large fenced in backyard, with additional happy walks and hikes. When it's time to rest, they will enjoy relaxing in my spacious clean home with plenty of love and care. I am a stay-at-home mom with children who attend summer camps. Drop off can be as early as 7:00 a.m. and for overnight stays 6:00 p.m. Pick up times can be negotiated. Large safe neighborhood, in the heart of Independence. You can trust that I will be with your pet for most of the day and I always let the owners know if I have errands to run or appointments to attend. My children are 7 and 10 years old, they absolutely love animals. They have been educated on the proper way to approach and play with dogs and cats. At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.
About: What's a life without dogs? My fiance and I took this very seriously and life has quite literally gone to the dogs. We have designed everything in our lives to revolve around ours and our clients dogs from our home to my SUV purchased with dog transportation in mind. We live in between the small towns of Bethel, and Felicity Ohio which gives us access to explore the banks of the Ohio River or the trails and creeks of East Fork Lake with our pets and occasionally the pets that stay with us. I'm a former veterinarian technician who quickly understood that after leaving the field I still needed and wanted to work with animals so I created Louvre where I can offer a safe, relaxing, and structured environment for my pet sitting and grooming clients. I've had pets my entire life and have always aspired to have a career involving pets, and while I loved being a technician the hours made me feel as if my own pets weren't getting the attention that they needed. Pet sitting has allowed me to spend time with my pets and my clients pets full time. I have experience with all ages, all breeds, and a wide variety of temperaments, as well as a keen understanding of canine body Language which allows for me to ensure that while your pet stays with us their needs will be met and their well-being prioritized. We have a fenced in yard were dogs can play while being supervised, two small towns which offer safe areas to walk your pets, and a living space that is accommodating to all pets. Here your pets can lounge on their choice of dog beds, couches ( our dogs have their own.), and plenty of toys to choose from in hopes that their boarding stay will be as comfortable for them as if they were staying at home. I'm currently pet sitting full time. My days revolve around my personal and client dogs. We have plenty of time for play time, snuggles, and anything else that they may need. While your pet is staying with us they will be treated as if they are our own. We tailor each pets stay to the pets individual needs to give then the best experience. We know thar boarding can be stressful for you and your pets and we do everything that we can to minimize that stress for everyone. I'll update you during your pets stay with photos, text, and videos so that you can see how your pet is spending their time here. We also provide everything needed for boarding except for your pets food, medications, supplements, and crate ( if applicable.) We find that this makes traveling easier for you and settling in easier for your pet. Of course you're welcome to bring whatever you'd like with your pet for their stay.

I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep the home clean and tidy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pets and their owners.
About: I have always had pets growing up when I was younger and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is caring for my own pets and caring for family, friends and I also have volunteered at shelters as well. My husband and I only have one dog. She is a GoldenDoodle/Labradoodle but we get her cut like a standard doodle and she is our world. I love training/exercising with her everyday and she pushes me to be the best that I can be. With our fur baby she gets a long walk in the morning, breakfast and lots of lovings. I do work a full time job in healthcare during the week Monday- Friday 8:00-4:30pm but I’m fully open on weekends. When I come home she gets a long walk, lots of play time outside, dinner and after dinner we take a long walk. I’m very cautious in all of my surroundings. Making sure every dog is securely leashed and properly walked or if you do have a fence I will follow any rules that abide.

Plenty of time to stay at your place overnight, teach fitness or clean a house then come back for quality time with your fur family. I DO NOT PROVIDE HOUSING AT MY HOME. I will gladly come to your residence and even stay overnight for your pets to alleviate any anxiety and make you and your family feel safe and at ease. References upon request. My business operates mainly by word of mouth. As of May 2021, I've worked full time as a pet sitter. To put it in perspective, I'm house/pet sitting 300/365 days of the year. Please check availability as my pet sitting schedule fills up quickly.
About: I currently cannot have my own dog but I love taking care of dogs. I have been watching some family friends’ dogs taking care of them and their home while they’re on vacation. I’m currently working a job part time on the weekends but my week days are completely free because I’m a teacher who is off for the summer. I have a fenced in yard. I also do not have any pets but my boyfriend and I love dogs! We love taking care of other people’s pets because they all have different personalities!
About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!
About: I have had every type of pet under the sun. Birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I have vast knowledge of dog body language and psychology, since I trained service dogs for children, either as a volunteer or employee, for 8 years. I have a bachelors degree in Zoology, and have never known life without pets in my home. I also have experience as a zookeeper, working with a huge variety of species, and regularly administering medications. I run a small dog grooming business out of my home as well, have raised several puppies, and have 2 cats of my own! I am currently unemployed, looking for new opportunities, so during the workday when pet owners can't be home to care for their fur balls is my specialty! I ensure every pet has been seen and is healthy and happy with each visit. Requested pet care will be done with the utmost care and respect for each animal, and your home! If I have important questions I will always ask before I make a decision. For dog walking, I used to train dogs for search and rescue, so pulling doesn't intimidate me! I will walk each dog at the pace that is best for them and their energy needs.
About: Hi friends! I enjoy exercising and animals especially dogs, why not just do both? If you or someone you know needs a reliable dog walker, I'd be happy to walk and play with your pets. I'm flexible with times and will commit to making sure your pup will be tired and happy! My schedule is yours, morning, afternoon, or night will always work for me. I'm excited to treat your pup like my own and I hope to meet you and your fur friends soon! I am always exercising and walking, so why not included your furry friend? I would love to be on your schedule and help your dogs loose their energy! I am not offering care at my home since I have two myself. I would always keep an eye on them no matter what and always see what I could do to help them out!
“Avery is great! She was great when our house key was lost. She took our dog for the day and made sure he was taken care of and safe! Will definitely be booking with her in the future. (:”
About: I worked at a boarding pet care store for over 2 years in high school. Where I took care of dogs of all ages and sizes as well as working up front where I gained tons of knowledge about animals. I currently have not much to do since I’m on winter break for college and have no other major responsibilities or vacations. I also can always stay the night if needed. I make sure that any pet feels safe and comfortable with me as well as ensure that they get the proper care and love they need while I’m with them.
About: My name is Emily. I work full time in public service and I am a dog mom to a Golden Doodle named Rudy. I have 4+ years of working in animal care from working in shelters, as a veterinary assistant, and have cared for my neighbor's pets when needed. I am able to administer medications and care for any pets that have special needs due to having experienced working in both small and large animal clinics. I will treat your fur baby like my own! I currently have availability on week days in the evening and weekends all day. In the summer from end of June to mid - July I will have all day availability as well. My dog Rudy is very friendly and can accompany on visits if permitted or requested. I have a park close to my house and can commute to any area for a needed walk.
About: • call me sky :) my pronouns are they/them • my passion is making my pets as happy as possible whether that means walks, hikes, just some time outside, or i can rock it indoors with birdwatching, playtime, and hopefully my dog and i’s favorite, sunbathing! i have a 13 year old pup with epilepsy so special needs pets are no problem. experience with aggressive dogs. puppies are encouraged! experience with pets other than dogs and cats too im extremely flexible when it comes to working with what times work for you. plus im always ready for an adventure! its never truly working when working with pets im down for anything! any kind of pet big or small, i’ll work with you to create the perfect walk environment, provide the best care and playtime, and help ensure you have nothing to worry about while you’re out :)
“Maddie is great! My cat instantly recognized her love for animals when he approached her :) I got cute photos and details of the walks. She is patient with my senior dog who needs extra time going up the stairs which is much appreciated.”

“Avery was AMAZING with our German Shepherd puppy Maverick! She kept us in the loop daily with pictures and texts. She took him on multiple walks a day, got him a pup cup, and even took him to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. If you’re looking for a sitter who will dedicate 100% of her time to your dog, Avery is the one!”
“The only regret we have is that Alycia and Scott are not available to watch Stanley ALL of the time! Stanley loves it there, they tolerate his puppy behavior and take wonderful care of him! Can't say enough good things about them!”
“Rachel stepped in and helped me out after another Rover cancelled on me less than 24 hrs before my scheduled travel. I’m very appreciative - and fortunate! Rachel is a pro sitter - my greyhound was well taken care of and always had company (dogs & people). I highly recommend Rachel (and family) and will have Prince visit again.”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Matthew & Jill were kind, considerate and friendly not only with us; but with our two dogs Juneau and Barrow. When we leave our dogs with these nice people, they are anxious to run to the door seeking new adventures, smells and to say hello to their family. When we pick them up, they are clean, happy and well adjusted from being away from us. Matthew and Jill have always been flexible and considerate. These two conduct their business in the true fashion of what Rover began with in the first place. It's not a kennel or boarding facility; but they welcome our dogs into their home life.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Amy and the care that she provided for our Rosie! Amy was very responsive and gave us a run down of her home/where Rosie would be spending her time. She has a very large fenced in area with plenty of toys and space for your pet to run! She updated us throughout the stay with photos of Rosie playing with other dogs, receiving cuddles, and even on a walk! We are so glad we found Amy and will definitely book with her again. It is clear she takes care of all dogs like they are her own.”
“It was our first time using Rover and Wynn did an excellent job making sure our pup Saint was comfortable as well as being great with communication. The photo updates were definitely a plus ! Would definitely book again in the future !”
“Emily was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated through the stay. I had a great experience with her and would absolutely recommend her and her family!”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing and has a gorgeous home! She willingly accepted our two small dogs (27 pound terrier mix and 15 pound minpin) on sort of a last minute booking after 2 others canceled. She graciously let us introduce our dogs to herself and her husband. The dogs received so much love while we were gone for the long weekend that I wasn't sure they were going to want to come home! Stephanie asked lots of important questions and made me feel very safe leaving my dogs there. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Can’t recommend Patricia enough! She took care of my fur baby like it was hers and I appreciate that a lot! I had a lot of reports through Dom’s stay with her, and photos🫶🏻; she really care for our doggies and played with them and give them love and attention and they won’t feel far from home. Best sitter so far!🤍”
“Abbie was amazing! From the time we did our meet-and-greet, we knew her home would be a great fit for Kobe. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kobe had a blast playing with her dogs! She was also very accommodating to a modified pickup time after we experienced flight delays. We will definitely be booking again!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our two boys Toby and Charlie and Tammi was very helpful in helping us understand what to do. I like how Tammi is set up to watch watch our dogs and they seemed to like it too. We are already having her watch them again in a couple days. We aren’t big travelers anymore at our age but will make her our go-to for any time we need someone to watch and take good care with our pups.”
“I was super nervous to leave my dog when going on vacation with my family as she was spayed a few days before and I wasn’t sure how she would be. Katie and her family loved BiBi like their own and my mind was at ease after the first day she sent me pictures and gave me an update. BiBi seemed to really enjoy her time with Katie and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous to leave their dog.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Kelti and Tanner are absolutely amazing! My dog had such a wonderful time playing with their two dogs! I was super nervous using Rover at first but Kelti really put my mind at ease. I know they treated Abbey like she was their own and I can’t wait to book with Kelti and Tanner again in the future. I highly recommend them - way better than boarding at a kennel! Abbey received love, attention, and plenty of play time at their house!”
“Our first experience using Rover was having our one-year-old American Bully stay for over a week with Hailey. This was not only our first experience using Rover, but also our first prolonged separation from him and his first experience with boarding. We were very selective about who we wanted and met with many other people before Hailey. However, the moment that we met Hailey and her husband at their home, we knew that this was the perfect place for our boy and that he would be well attended to and loved during his stay. While we were away, we received constant updates, pictures, and videos of our dog and it was clear that he was having a great time. Hailey also went above and beyond by providing last minute grooming services at our request for an outstanding price. When we arrived to pick up our dog, he was elated to see us (yay!) but it was also clear that he has been extremely comfortable while we were away. I cannot recommend Hailey's home and care enough. I also cannot imagine having our dog stay with anyone else so long as Hailey opens her home to others' animals. 5 stars. Two thumbs up.”
