“Smokey had a wonderful holiday week with Jared. Really appreciated all of the photo updates provided throughout the week and they went above and beyond taking care of an upset stomach. It really shows how much they cared for Smokey, and how good of hands he was in. I will absolutely plan on boarding again.”
“This was the first time we have used Rover, and Shayne and Jonathan did not disappoint. They took excellent care of all four of our dogs. They updated us throughout their stay and included lots of pictures. Drop off and pick up was a breeze and it was obvious our pups had a great time. We will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“So kind and patient—I’d never left my dog with a sitter before and was very nervous, but I could tell right away that Peep was in good hands with Laura. She and her family were the right fit for Peep—I could tell that he was sad to leave them when I picked him up. ;)”
“Angela and Rick went above and beyond in caring for our little Bean. They are an incredibly kind and genuinely sweet couple. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos they sent us throughout Bean’s stay. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mr. Bean—Angela and Rick will always be our first choice! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for loving our baby as much as we do!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our golden with Fabienne! She is such a sweet individual and obviously has a passion and love for animals. She updated us often with pictures and videos to see how he was doing. He had so much fun! We will definitely book with Fabienne again!”
“Great time with Cristina and her family as always! Lots and lots of pictures and videos. My doggie stays busy all day playing and getting belly rubs. Highly recommend Cristina to other dog moms and dads.”
“We absolutely loved Rebecca & her husband’s care for our dog Milo! They did an amazing job making him feel loved and comfortable! It was a vacation for him too. He has anxiety when it comes to thunderstorms & they used his thunder coat during those times and communicated with me how he was doing. They have a large back yard for the dogs to run around in and they even let dogs sleep with them if the owner is okay with it! Which we were because Milo Is a big baby ? we also used the drop off service for the first time to help us all get home around the same time from vacation. Rebecca’s husband arrived shortly at our home after us so we didn’t have to make any more stops after being on the road for hours with small children! We will definitely use them in the future ?”
“My doggy Piper was so happy to get to stay with Julie again. She definitely treats my doggy like a princess and the daily updates are wonderful to see when you’re out of town and worry about your furbabies. Will continue to book with Julie in the future!!”

“Kelly is fantastic! Our dog Elle gets nervous around new people but warmed up to Kelly almost immediately. While we were away, she sent us pictures and detailed updates which were very appreciated!”
“We were so happy to have Jessica take care of our little dog. She is so sweet and gentle with her. Winnie took to her immediately. It was a long stay of eight nights and Jessica made us feel confident that Winnie was being well taken care of. We appreciated everything she did for Winnie and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her again in the future.”
“Megan was available last minute after having trouble getting a sitter. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. Our boy came back happy & tired. I will be using her again in the future! Thank you!”
“Brianna was an excellent sitter! She was very communicative, giving me updates on our sweet Willow with pictures and videos while we were away. She followed instructions to a T & took the best care of our puppy. I would definitely book her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

“Sarah did an excellent job caring for our two cats over the course of a week. She communicated with us daily, sent updated pictures, provided clean water and food, and maintained the litter box. We highly recommend Sarah and would love to work with her again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Michelle! She took care of our two cats, Charlie and Snowball, for a full week while we were out of town, and she was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating. We had an unexpected issue with our Litter Robot during the trip, and Michelle went above and beyond staying until everything was fixed and making sure our cats were comfortable and taken care of. Her communication throughout the week was more than I could have hoped for she kept us updated regularly and sent the most adorable, high quality photos that truly gave us peace of mind. It’s hard to leave your pets behind, but Michelle made it easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate sitter. We are beyond grateful!”

For my cat owners, I own a very docile, loving, calm kitty of my own and he loves new friends. We will be in constant communication because I know being away from our furry kids is a little nerve wrecking. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or anything I haven't covered. I will fulfill requests or any special demands. Your pet will be in good hands for the time being. If frequent visits or walking is what you need, I am available for that too. I know some great doggy parks where they'll have lots of fun.

About: I have 10+ years of taking care of pets. I have experience with puppies and all their playfulness through seniors that need extra attention and medications.

About: I have experience with taking care of all dogs, medical needs, young at hearts and old souls alike. I have one large love that was a rescue. I have been a foster for dogs for quite some time. Every dog that has entered my home has been loved and cared for as if they were my own pups. I currently work from home which allows me to have time to supervise and interact with your pet all day. I am able to let dogs out to play or use the bathroom at least every hour if needed. I have a 6ft fence that surrounds my backyard to ensure that your dog stays safe at my home. In my house, your dog will have the ability to roam freely. My dogs are allowed on the furniture, so if that is something you are okay with, your dog will be allowed too. I do have an extra large wire crate that I used with my dogs when they were young, so you will not need to provide a crate if your dog requires that. If your dog does not use a crate, that is fine too. Charlie is a 100lb mix that is very friendly. He will play with other dogs if that is what they want and he will also lay and be very relaxed.

I have a 2 yr old dachshund who loves to play. I have a big fenced in back yard. I am a stay at home mom to two kids who are 6 and 11 so your dog must be good with kids.

I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“We had a last minute opportunity to go out of town and Rusty responded so fast about his availability to keep our Ruby. He was so nice, easy to communicate with and Ruby felt at ease with him instantly. Thank you, Rusty!”
“Dorothy and her family took wonderful care of our 2 dogs while we traveled out of state. We received frequent updates and they returned home tired and happy. Highly recommend!”
“My girls had a BLAST with Lindsay & her family! I was almost afraid of them not wanting to come home lol! She kept me updated throughout the day on how they were doing and the activities they did with them, which was very nice! Im so happy that i booked with her and will definitely be booking with her in the future !”
“Our dog Tulla had a great time at Ben's house and playing with his dog. They have a nice backyard for outside play. Ben was very responsive to our questions and sent us pictures and updates. Ben was very accommodating and flexible with the drop off and pick up times, which made our time away stress free.”
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Left our two large and active dogs with Garrett for a week while we went on vacation! They had the best time, we got pictures and updates everyday, and picked up clean dogs that were absolutely exhausted! We will definitely be looking to board with Garrett in the future!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were so lucky to have found Amber! She was so easy to communicate with, she sent frequent updates, and worked with us on pick-up drop-off times (we booked with Rover before our travel plans were concrete). Georgie must have played all week, he slept the whole day while we were able to unpack. We HIGHLY recommend Amber! She was fantastic with our Georgie and we will definitely use her again.”
“Pups had an AWESOME stay! I had daily updates on the boys including pictures. Will be using Johnathan again for any future booking needs! It was like a home away from home for the boys, way better than a kennel! Thanks so much!”
