We can’t thank you enough, and Peanut is already looking forward to seeing you, Hunter, and Scout again soon! 🐶❤️🌞”
“Ariana is amazing and truly an animal lover! We needed a sitter for our two medium‑large mixed male dogs, and she made time for a meet‑and‑greet before our trip to make sure our boys would get along with her cat (the chillest cat ever!) and to show us around. She was very flexible with timing and quick to respond. As I walked her through all of our dogs quirks, she picked things up right away — you can tell she has tons of experience. While we were away, Ariana sent consistent updates every morning and afternoon, always with the best pictures. Our family was busy nonstop on vacation, so I couldn’t always reply right away, but she still kept the updates coming. Her messages and photos were the highlight of our day and always made us stop for a moment to laugh at the stories she shared. She set a great routine for the dogs and let us know she made sure they were tired out before bedtime. They got plenty of playtime, and she even gave them with treats and delicious food toppers. Our older dog (8 years old) had some separation anxiety the first night, and Ariana immediately asked for suggestions and offered thoughtful ideas of her own. By the end of the week, he was doing so much better. Ariana mentioned she’s been dog‑sitting for a long time, and it definitely shows. I think our older dog was practically asking her to let him back inside her house when we picked them up! She even sent them home with goodie bags — they got so excited when they smelled them, almost like they knew they were from her! They had a great vacation too! 😁 We’re truly grateful for Ariana!!”
“We had such a great experience with our sitter! She took care of Titan for 4 days and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. When we picked Titan up, he was so happy, excited, and full of energy which says everything about how well he was treated. Super reliable, communicative, and kind. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna and Robert were great with our pups! The dogs were immediately comfortable with them. We got updates everyday we were gone, the communication before and during was amazing! Definitely recommend them!”
“Robin was amazing! She took our Lola and Diesel for a couple nights and sent updates and pictures any time I messaged asking how they were doing. It was great to have peace of mind knowing they were being cared for. I would definitely recommend Robin and hope to have Lola and Diesel back in the near future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I had a great experience! Amanda kept me updated with photos and videos of my dog and didnt have any concerns leaving my dog with her. I had to adjust the dates of the stay and she was completely accommodating and understanding. I would definitely recommend and will board with her again!”
“We absolutely loved boarding our furbabies with Rhoda & Erik! We were a bit nervous because one of our pups is older and hesitant about new places but they did great with him! They sent us pictures and were very responsive throughout the entire stay which put our minds at ease. We will definitely book with them for our next weekend getaway!”
“Amber and Victor were amazing with Tess & Mr. Man. They both can sometimes get shy and based on the photos they were more than comfortable! Would absolutely book them again in the future.”
“Fernando was amazing! He kept me updated at all times with photos/videos/texts and Archie seemed to enjoy his stay as well! Will definitely use him again :)”
“Donna & Loren took such great care dog. They have great communication and responded quickly. They sent pictures of Duke during his stay with them. We highly recommend Donna & Loren and will be using them again.”
“Thank you Brian for caring for our boy on short notice. Brian was very helpful and responsive with sending daily photos and updates. Henry is an only fur child but instantly connected with Brian’s family after some patience and kindness. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“This is the second time Raul and Elizabeth have taken care of my precious pup and they were amazing sitters! They made sure that she was fed well and updated me many times throughout the time I was on vacation! There is no other sitter I would trust with my precious one!”
“Amber took amazing care of our fur baby! We could tell how happy he was from the videos she sent while we were away, and he was just as joyful when we picked him up. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be coming back to her whenever we need help with our little one!”
“Arlene and her family are truly AMAZING! They always exhibit great love, care, compassion, concern when taking care of our “little” Leighlah. They ran out and purchased a birthday cake to celebrate Leighlah’s birthday in our absence. You would be hard pressed to find a more phenomenal sitter. We are blessed to have Arlene and her family.”
“Britney took such wonderful care of my dog, Lucky! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving and capable hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay with regular communication, pictures, and details about his activities, which meant so much to me. It was clear from the photos and updates that Lucky was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Britney went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and treated like part of the family. I truly appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Britney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Lucky thoroughly enjoyed his stay, and I would gladly book with her again!”
“Mario was truly the greatest!!!! He really went out of his way to make sure my mind was at ease as he wanted my fur baby. I got constant pics (great pics at that) of my baby and reports back on any accidents or anything in general. I definitely will book with him again! Thank you so much!”
“They were great with my dog! Very caring, attentive, and communicated well throughout the stay. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use them again!”

I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I strive to give every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I always treat every pet like they're my own and do my best to keep their routine consistent. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or yours, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Ariana is amazing and truly an animal lover! We needed a sitter for our two medium‑large mixed male dogs, and she made time for a meet‑and‑greet before our trip to make sure our boys would get along with her cat (the chillest cat ever!) and to show us around. She was very flexible with timing and quick to respond. As I walked her through all of our dogs quirks, she picked things up right away — you can tell she has tons of experience. While we were away, Ariana sent consistent updates every morning and afternoon, always with the best pictures. Our family was busy nonstop on vacation, so I couldn’t always reply right away, but she still kept the updates coming. Her messages and photos were the highlight of our day and always made us stop for a moment to laugh at the stories she shared. She set a great routine for the dogs and let us know she made sure they were tired out before bedtime. They got plenty of playtime, and she even gave them with treats and delicious food toppers. Our older dog (8 years old) had some separation anxiety the first night, and Ariana immediately asked for suggestions and offered thoughtful ideas of her own. By the end of the week, he was doing so much better. Ariana mentioned she’s been dog‑sitting for a long time, and it definitely shows. I think our older dog was practically asking her to let him back inside her house when we picked them up! She even sent them home with goodie bags — they got so excited when they smelled them, almost like they knew they were from her! They had a great vacation too! 😁 We’re truly grateful for Ariana!!”
“We had such a great experience with our sitter! She took care of Titan for 4 days and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. When we picked Titan up, he was so happy, excited, and full of energy which says everything about how well he was treated. Super reliable, communicative, and kind. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna and Robert were great with our pups! The dogs were immediately comfortable with them. We got updates everyday we were gone, the communication before and during was amazing! Definitely recommend them!”
“Robin was amazing! She took our Lola and Diesel for a couple nights and sent updates and pictures any time I messaged asking how they were doing. It was great to have peace of mind knowing they were being cared for. I would definitely recommend Robin and hope to have Lola and Diesel back in the near future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I had a great experience! Amanda kept me updated with photos and videos of my dog and didnt have any concerns leaving my dog with her. I had to adjust the dates of the stay and she was completely accommodating and understanding. I would definitely recommend and will board with her again!”
“Amber and Victor were amazing with Tess & Mr. Man. They both can sometimes get shy and based on the photos they were more than comfortable! Would absolutely book them again in the future.”
“Arlene and her family are truly AMAZING! They always exhibit great love, care, compassion, concern when taking care of our “little” Leighlah. They ran out and purchased a birthday cake to celebrate Leighlah’s birthday in our absence. You would be hard pressed to find a more phenomenal sitter. We are blessed to have Arlene and her family.”
“Britney took such wonderful care of my dog, Lucky! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving and capable hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay with regular communication, pictures, and details about his activities, which meant so much to me. It was clear from the photos and updates that Lucky was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Britney went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and treated like part of the family. I truly appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Britney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Lucky thoroughly enjoyed his stay, and I would gladly book with her again!”
“Mario was truly the greatest!!!! He really went out of his way to make sure my mind was at ease as he wanted my fur baby. I got constant pics (great pics at that) of my baby and reports back on any accidents or anything in general. I definitely will book with him again! Thank you so much!”
“They were great with my dog! Very caring, attentive, and communicated well throughout the stay. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use them again!”
“Charlie has never been boarded and we tried boarding him a month ago with a local dog boarding facility, unfortunately he did not do well, was sad for days after picked him up and took 3 days before he wagged his tail again. Kathryn has done an excellent job trying to get to know our anxious dog and help get him ready for our extended trip away from him. We arranged a meet and greet at a park and then scheduled a doggy daycare afternoon so that he can familiarize himself with his upcoming in-home boarding.”
“Best first stay for our Mayze. Mayze was so happy! And I loved how well Mayze was taken care of and how well the communication was. This was our first experience using Rover and I cannot thank our amazing sitters for easing my anxieties with their friendliness and care.”
“Jenn is so sweet and caring! My cat Sabrina is an older, independent Queen who needs a lot of patience. Jenna was so good with her and made her feel right at home! I loved getting pictures and updates while I was away. Thank you Jenn for everything.”
“From the meet and greet to dropping off and picking up, Jorge was very accommodating and made the process super easy. Palmer clearly had plenty of fun as he more or less slept for a few days after we got home. We received plenty of updates and photos. I especially appreciate the extra care and attentiveness that was given to Palmer as Palmer found a way to cut on foot days before we were set to leave. Jorge said it was no problem and Palmer was treated well while the wound was healing. I will absolutely be happy to contact Jorge again next time we go out of town.”
“Jeremy was great! He was available for a last minute boarding request and kept consistent communication with pictures of my pup. Thank you, Jeremy! Looking forward to working with you again in the future”
“Makaela is amazing! She took care of my girls and their special needs for a week, and I am so thankful that I found someone who cared for and treated them as her own. She updated me daily and sent me pictures throughout the day! She was also very patient with my oldest and kept up with their routines. I truly felt comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need to leave my girls! 🥰🤍”
