“Alyssa was a great pet sitter. This is our first time having to leave a pet in someone else’s home for an extended stay. We were so pleased with her great communication during our time away. I could fully enjoy my vacation knowing our beloved pet was being well cared for. I highly recommend Alyssa and the Rover App to all of our friends.”
“TJ was awesome, super welcoming and sent tons of pics and updates for me about Tucker (my doggo). Tucker seemed to fit right in, will definitely be back when my travel schedule picks up again!”
“She made me feel very reassured leaving my dog with her that has anxiety issue's. She treated her like family and tended to her needs. She communicated well and responded right away if I had questions or just wanted an update on how my dog was doing. She sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Shoshanna was amazing with Ocean and super accommodating when my flight got delayed. I felt totally at ease knowing Ocean was in such good hands—came home to a happy, calm pup! Would definitely book again.”
“I will never leave my dog with anyone else. Cyndie & her family treated my dog like their own. Cyndie kept me updated with pics and how Rocky’s day was going. I’m truly grateful for her and her family. Look no further for a pet sitter! Cyndie will always be my go to when I go out of town.”
“Ms Melanie was awesome. I could tell the second she saw Oliver that he was in good hands. Oliver had a great time and did not freak when I left because he felt at home too. Thanks Melanie, you'll see us again.”
“Gabbi and Justin were fantastic with my senior dog. They cared for her so well, they were absolutely wonderful to communicate with and went above and beyond for us. We will definitely book with them again!! Thank you Gabbi and Justin for an outstanding experience.”
“Robert was great and it seems like Jingle really enjoyed running around in the back yard! Robert sent pictures through the app periodically to let me know my baby was doing ok. We would love to book with Robert again.”
“We highly recommend Edward and Margaratte! Our dog is a velcro pup and very nervous, reserved with new people, but they were so patient and attentive to his needs. Getting several photos and updates each day completely eased our worries. They truly love dogs and treat them like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Oh, my goodness - I couldn't have been more pleased! From the initial messaging, meeting the sweet family, getting photos and updates, to the incredible pick-up... this family is the best! I had only boarded our pup one other time, and she was returned smelly and scared. Sarah's family treated our pup as their own, 100%. If she's available, I will choose her every single time we need care for our dog. I kind of think our pup misses her family and all of the fun they had over the Christmas holiday!”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Our two girls were treated like family and had the best experience at Kenneth’s home! We have a beagle mix that needs a fenced yard and a chance to explore throughout the day, this was the perfect fit for her and her needs. We will be using again and appreciate the daily photos and video when away from our girls.”
“Misty is my go-to dog sitter! i’ve booked with her multiple times and she’s always great. She has a nice house with a spacious backyard and a flexible schedule for pick up and drop off. My dog loves her and her dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We have been using Maggie and Michael for years now. Our dog loves their family and is always so excited to spend time with them. They take such great care of our dog when we’re gone for extended periods of time—they treat him like part of the family!”
“Sandy was incredibly communicative, kind, and thoughtful. She helps with med administration and sent many pictures. My dog clearly enjoyed being with her and playing with her two cats. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Excellent sitter for our newly rescued Toller retriever. Rachel gave Jack just what he needed, love affection and exercise. I would not hesitate at all to trust Rachel with your pet. I did not worry at all about Jack while we were away for a week. I highly recommend this sitter.”

“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”
“Alyssa took exceptional care of our cat, Yue, and he loved her attention! She sent us notice when she arrived and also great pictures of Yue showing affection to her! He looked relaxed and happy which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing really good! Thank you!!! We hope we can book again with Alyssa and highly recommend her.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals through my work as a kennel technician, farm hand, and animal caretaker. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring health, and giving medications or treatments when needed. Most importantly, I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently in college from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, but I have a lunch break from 11 AM to 12 PM for dog walks. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting after class, as well as overnight stays and weekend care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have years of hands-on animal care experience and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine. I’m comfortable caring for animals in their own home, handling feeding and exercise routines, cleaning up after pets, and administering medications or treatments when needed. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I also do photography so if you ask I can photograph your fur babies for you!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality. I’m attentive to their routines, keep litter boxes clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Autumn is a lovely person and trustworthy pet sitter for our two cats. She clearly loves animals and does a great job of following our instructions. We are grateful for her help and will definitely ask her back again!”
“Sophie is AMAZING!!!! She did such a great job taking care of our cats. She stayed in our home and left everything just the way it was when we left. Excellent communication. She sent us a lot of updates and pictures which we appreciate so much. We are so happy with her service, and we fully recommend her. We will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you Sophie!!”
About: Let me help you get it back! I have 3 sweet girls right now, and wouldn’t know life without them. I trim their nails, clean their ear canals, and give them sanitary trims/wipes. I have been raised around cats, and have helped a mother deliver her 11 kittens… that just so happened to be on my birthday, best gift ever… so I am quite familiar with medical care, and overall boundaries when it comes to making your babies feel comfortable. My girls have never known a “spook” before so I can assure you it will be my goal to keep your angels as comfortable as possible while you are away!
“I had to go out of town because of an emergency and Ashley visit my dog Luna, that's a very timid, nervous dog during all 4 days and she was really great taking care of her. Highly recommended!”
About: I have always taken care of animals for people and I have used rover myself for my dogs. I love cats and dogs, and want to provide good quality care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and you can expect lots of pictures. I currently do deliveries but your animals will be my priority. I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.
“Cheryl is so wonderful. My dogs love her (even my picky Chihuahua). She is reliable, kind, trustworthy and truly loves animals. If you have Cheryl as your sitter your fur babies will be spoiled and happy.”
“Taylor was amazing! She was so attentive and went above and beyond. She treated our kiddos like they were her own. I was so worried to leave them behind but I felt 100% comfortable the entire time away from them because she did such a fine job.”
About: Hi! I'm Joselyn, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and understanding just how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I recently lost my beloved dog, Pork, after many wonderful years together. Being his dog mom taught me patience, attentiveness, responsibility, and how much our pets truly become part of the family. I know firsthand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you're away. Whether your pup needs a walk, companionship, playtime, or a comfortable place to stay, I'll care for them with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to follow your dog's normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I also love sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! I work full time as a nail technician. I’m also a mother so the week days are very busy for me . The weekends however I am available to care for pets more than on week days . I also have a roommate so therefore I could not board any dogs at this time . Until I can move out without a roommate . I will fit my schedule to the best of my abilities to your pets needs . I’m very aware of my surroundings. Also very aware of the pets triggers and signs of any distress, discomfort or even just plan excitement.

“Carri is just amazing! She was very understanding of my anxious dog with separation anxiety and made dropping him off a breeze. Would def recommend and will rebook again in the future. She even sent my Hershey home with a mini dog care bag. She goes above and beyond and you can really tell that she cares for the dogs.”

About: 🐐 The Pet & Farm Nanny: Constant Care & Custom Visits 🐾 Hi y’all! I’m Ariel. I offer a unique "Nanny" experience for your pets, whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home. I recently moved to Lebanon and love providing the reliable, heart-centered care that every animal deserves—from senior dogs needing meds to hobby farms needing a helping hand. How I can help: • At My Home (The "Workday" Companion): Since I work from home (10 AM – 7 PM), your pet will never be alone! I offer a cozy, attentive environment in my apartment for smaller dogs or cats who love constant human company. • At Your Home (Mornings & Weekends): I am available for early morning walks, drop-in feedings, and farm chores (milking goats, feeding horses, collecting eggs). I also offer Overnight House Sitting on weekends to keep your pets in their familiar routine! • Specialized Care: I am fully comfortable with senior pet care and administering oral medications. My Commitment to You: I stay within a 15-20 mile radius of Lebanon to ensure I’m always close by. You can expect high-quality communication, plenty of photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing a "Nanny" is looking after your family. Note: Due to my apartment setting, I am unable to offer puppy training/boarding, but I’m a pro at cuddles and routine! As a project coordinator working from home (10 AM – 7 PM), I’m the ultimate full-time companion! Your pet will have my company all day long while I’m at my desk. For house calls, walks, and farm chores, I’m an early bird and a weekend warrior! I’m available for drop-ins and farm visits before 9:30 AM or after 7:30 PM on weekdays, with completely open availability on Saturdays and Sundays for longer visits or weekend house-sitting. Safety is my top priority! When pets stay with me in my apartment, they enjoy a calm, pet-proofed environment with plenty of cozy spots to nap near my workspace. I’m a pro at maintaining strict routines, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule or administering essential medications for senior pets. I am an avid walker, so if your pup is with me, we will get plenty of exercise. When I’m at your home or farm, I’m hyper-vigilant about double-checking gate latches, ensuring fresh water troughs are full, and keeping a 'Nanny’s eye' on everything to make sure your home is as secure as your pets are happy!

I spend my time home caring for my dog and children. It's a very important part of each day. Between feeding them each meal to walking them and playing with them, they're heavily integrated into our lives. I have a friendly dog who loves to play. I also have two children who love animals but are also good with boundaries considering these pets will be in an unfamiliar environment. I personally care for each pet that comes into my home, but my children will be present.

Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work for myself, which allows me to create a flexible schedule and provide reliable pet care throughout the week.

I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.
About: I’ve always loved animals, (especially cats, I’m a huge cat person), so I’ve had at least one or two ever since I was little, and throughout the years I’ve learned how to take care of them. I’ve also owned a few dogs here and there, including a chihuahua. (I have more experience with small dogs.) As of now, I am completely free all Monday through Sunday, so feel free to book me whenever. There are times I do go to church on Sundays around 1:30pm to 3, so anytime after would work. I can take care of animals indoors. I have an animal gate to help prevent them from going upstairs and having access to the stairs.

Lots of love given at all times! If there are other medical needs I will need details of their care when setting up an appointment.

My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your dog with active adventure or a comfy companion while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had a pet my whole life. From going on walks, to doing their nail trims. I’m very familiar with how to keep dogs happy! I would love to get to play with a pet after a work shift! Willing to make time on my days off as well . I can keep pets in crate if needed, take them out when needed and make sure they have a great time while they’re with me!
About: My name is Hannah, but I go by Mikki. I have had pets since I was 15 years old and they have ranged from cats, dogs, and the exotic! I have a serious love for all the different types of fur-babies and am a proud pet parent myself! I’m the purrfect fit if you love someone enthusiastic about animals and their care, someone who is strict with rules and restrictions, and someone who is flexible! I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.
About: When I’m pet sitting your best friends, they will receive Play Time, Constant Attention, Affection, Love, as well as a safe environment to be in. Animals are my passion and are a ginormous part of my life. I will go above and beyond for your four-legged best friend 💪🏽 after all…. It’s what they deserve for their undying loyalty. I’m currently a student who studies virtually from home. I have open availability throughout the entire week. Being a student allows me to have a lot of free time. Your fur babies will be exercised, loved, and be safe at all times with me. I look forward to taking care of your best friend I have a dog named Bear who’s an absolute sweetheart. His daily schedule is eating supplements, vitamins, and his food once in the morning and once at night. He takes 1-2 hour daily trips to the Dog Park, and well as receiving constant affection and love. Your dog deserves the same treatment.
About: I have taken care of animals in many forms for over 20 years. I have an acre of fenced-in yard with two dogs that are dog friendly, up to date on shots, and either spayed or neutered. ~ Your fur baby will enjoy their time playing with my dogs, or with me staying at your home and treating your home and your fur baby as one of my own. ~PSI Member and working on basic First Aid and Emergency Care for Animals. ~Willing to provide medications and injections to those babies in need. I work from home so your pet will get any amount of attention it needs. If I come to your home your pet will receive the same care and respect as work allows for flexibility to be there with them, giving them full attention. I have an acre fenced yard with outside toys as well as a drinking fountain and plenty of room inside for them to take naps and stay cool and dry on rainy days. We usually go out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks and play time.
About: I treat every pet like they're my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient and attentive with puppies who are still learning routines, and I'm equally comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra care and attention. I believe in clear communication, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, daycare, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine as much as possible. This helps them feel comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and energy level so they receive the care and attention that's right for them. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, and make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of affection. If your pet requires medication or extra care, I'm happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure their needs are met.
About: I prefer animals over humans. Have had pets all my life. From small dogs like a chihuahua to large dogs like a boxer. Very attentive. Work from home and available on weekends. Can care for your pet all day since i work from home. I also enjoy walks and will walk your pet. Home is pet friendly and safe for all pets. Your pet will be leashed on walks. Unsafe rooms will be gated off so that they can stay in sight.
About: Since childhood, I've had dogs, cats, fish and snakes. In the past 10 years, we have 5 dogs in the family. I have taken care of friend's pets as well (dogs and bunny). I take pride in trying to understand all their different personalities and letting them be their true selves. Seeing a true smile on a dogs face, while they're doing zoomies or running through the backyard, brings me so much joy <3 I am open to dog walks and house visits currently. My availability is mostly weekdays, but I am open to the occasional evening, weekend or overnight. I will be sure your pets are safe and happy, with full water bowls, and fed/given medication on their schedule. (We have several seniors that need medication on a schedule, so I fully understand the importance of that). I am happy to play with your pets in your yard (after I check the gate is secure), or in the house. I also provide plenty of attention in the way of pets and snuggles :)
About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.
About: I have been taking care of different pets throughout my childhood as well as recently with several dog walking, and sitting experiences. My families house has several cats and dogs so I know my experience with them will be useful for other pets I sit. I am currently working part time but my job hours are flexible so I am able to switch around if offers come up last minute I have a fenced backyard to allow the dog maximum space to roam. I am not uptight on keeping them off couches due to me having hand me downs but will respect and follow any guidelines the parents have
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all my life. I am very much a dog person and love them like my own family. My favorite part is playing with them so that they sleep super soundly at night. I know how to teach your dog some tricks and show them a lot of love. I am extremely patient and have taught several dogs to be housebroken and how to sit, shake, and lay down. I have been dog sitting for others for a little over 6 years now. I am very confident in my abilities with dogs and how to handle them. I have been around them my whole life and know how important they are to everyone’s lives if cared for properly. I do currently work full time and am currently studying to take my Boards to become a licensed physical therapist. I am able to do mid day potty breaks if close enough to my work. Otherwise, I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the morning and evenings. I care for each dog/pet as if they were my own. I will love them, care for them, and tend to their needs as if they are my own family. I want to make every dog feel extremely loved through all the petting and playing that they can imagine and want.
About: I have lived/taken care of animals my whole life. Have taken care of dogs,cats,bunnies,lizards. I have two dogs at home that I care for and have trained. I work at a coffee shop in the morning/afternoons during the week but after noon my days are pretty open and am usually available anytime after that. I have a fenced in backyard and take my dogs on a walk 1-2 times a day. I follow whatever instructions are given and make sure the house is clean before leaving. When taking care of dogs will make sure to take them out every couple hrs.
About: Hello! I have owned all kind of animals throughout my entire life, including rabits, fish, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I’m a college student studying Biology Pre-Vet. I’ve also had previous dog walking and sitting experience as a Wag! Walker. I think that I have a true calling with pets. When I was just about 11 years old I would walk and care for my neighbors dog that was a huge Mastiff, and never thought anything of it. My mom always tells that story to people of how she almost had a heart attack when she saw my little self walking this giant dog. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes! I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friend as well!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of every kind for 10+ years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets. I have experience in medicine giving, grooming and other special needs. Open availability Monday to Sunday. I’m currently looking to walk and do drop ins. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m always moving around and staying in tune with their needs. It’s just part of the rhythm of my day, and I truly enjoy the responsibility and connection that comes with caring for them. When it comes to caring for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved, just like I do with my own animals. I tailor my care based on the needs of each pet, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding routine, giving them time to play and exercise, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. Whether it’s in my home or a client’s, I treat every animal like family!

“Alyssa was a great pet sitter. This is our first time having to leave a pet in someone else’s home for an extended stay. We were so pleased with her great communication during our time away. I could fully enjoy my vacation knowing our beloved pet was being well cared for. I highly recommend Alyssa and the Rover App to all of our friends.”
“TJ was awesome, super welcoming and sent tons of pics and updates for me about Tucker (my doggo). Tucker seemed to fit right in, will definitely be back when my travel schedule picks up again!”
“She made me feel very reassured leaving my dog with her that has anxiety issue's. She treated her like family and tended to her needs. She communicated well and responded right away if I had questions or just wanted an update on how my dog was doing. She sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Shoshanna was amazing with Ocean and super accommodating when my flight got delayed. I felt totally at ease knowing Ocean was in such good hands—came home to a happy, calm pup! Would definitely book again.”
“I will never leave my dog with anyone else. Cyndie & her family treated my dog like their own. Cyndie kept me updated with pics and how Rocky’s day was going. I’m truly grateful for her and her family. Look no further for a pet sitter! Cyndie will always be my go to when I go out of town.”
“Ms Melanie was awesome. I could tell the second she saw Oliver that he was in good hands. Oliver had a great time and did not freak when I left because he felt at home too. Thanks Melanie, you'll see us again.”
“Robert was great and it seems like Jingle really enjoyed running around in the back yard! Robert sent pictures through the app periodically to let me know my baby was doing ok. We would love to book with Robert again.”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Our two girls were treated like family and had the best experience at Kenneth’s home! We have a beagle mix that needs a fenced yard and a chance to explore throughout the day, this was the perfect fit for her and her needs. We will be using again and appreciate the daily photos and video when away from our girls.”
“We have been using Maggie and Michael for years now. Our dog loves their family and is always so excited to spend time with them. They take such great care of our dog when we’re gone for extended periods of time—they treat him like part of the family!”
“Excellent sitter for our newly rescued Toller retriever. Rachel gave Jack just what he needed, love affection and exercise. I would not hesitate at all to trust Rachel with your pet. I did not worry at all about Jack while we were away for a week. I highly recommend this sitter.”
“Krista has kept my boy Charlie (a black lab) twice this month. We are about to go on a long vacation, and she will be keeping him then too. The two previous visits were “get acquainted” stays. Charlie is so happy with Krista!! She treats him like her own - lets him sleep in her bed, takes him on a car ride to McDonald’s, etc. Charlie did not do well in an environment with new dogs. He was overly stimulated and not on his best behavior. But at Krista’s, he is perfect! If you need a sitter without other animals that will focus on just your fur baby and care for them like her own, Krista is a wonderful choice! Charlie has definitely found his home away from home for this and future vacations. Highly recommend!!”
“This was the first time I let my dog stay overnight with anyone. Ashlie did a fantastic job of keeping me informed of how he was doing and took great care of him. I could tell he was really at ease and enjoyed his time with her and her family.”
“It didn’t take 30 seconds of meeting Regina to know that Murphy was going to be in good hands. We loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would 100% use Regina’s services again.”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our pup! Taking care of a young puppy is a big job, and she took it on with competence, grace, and kindness. Our puppy seemed to have a wonderful time there, with lots of outdoor adventures and indoor snuggles. Cindy kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, and we never worried about how she was doing. We are so thankful we found her to watch Dove and look forward to another stay in the future!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to keep my Murphy! No doubt they treated him like their own while in their home! Chris kept in contact with me and sent pics and let me know how Murphy was doing ! Thanks again Chris!”
