“We just used Rebecca for our first long trip since getting established with her. She experienced a death in the family while we were gone. She coordinated with our emergency contact to hand off care of our Beagle so she could attend the funeral, but I have no doubt that she would have missed the funeral rather than leave us in a bind while we were in Europe. Her exceptional care of LuLu is surpassed only by her personal integrity. Thank you, Rebecca, for your communication and dependability. We had confidence that you would handle this situation seamlessly, and you did.”

Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!”
About: I’ve had dogs, usually multiple ones, living with me for my entire life. I just so enjoy being with them and I have a very flexible work schedule so I can always help take care of your furry friend! I work from home and can always set my own schedule so I can be available almost anytime. I will make it a priority to take care of your dog. I have a pig named Beaker living with me and he has a wonderful personality and lives all other dogs. I’ll happily follow any directions you have for your baby and live to play with dogs in any fashion.
“After a good meet and greet, we used Penny and Evan for our first ever Rover experience with our dog, Libby. She is a sweet, high energy dog. Penny and Evan had a fun week with her. We appreciated the picture updates and knew she was well taken care of throughout the week! Thank you!”
“Darcy had an amazing time!! He loved being there and playing with their other dogs!! Everyone was so nice and friendly! We will definitely use her again when we are in the area next!”
“This is our first time using Rover. Samantha and her family took great care of Gus! She responded to texts quickly, and we loved the pictures. He came home exhausted and happy!”
“I was so pleased to find Kim on Rover for a last minute booking. Every interaction was welcoming and professional and I was confident my Charlie would be cared for like he was her own dog. Throughout his stay I got multiple updates and pictures to let me know he was having a blast, eating well, going on walks, and getting along with his playmates. Kim was very accommodating to our flight delay on pickup and I was touched by the parting gift bag Charlie received. I will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again!”
“Jody is so good with dogs. She has her hands full between her own animals plus those she helps, but she does it so gracefully. She took the time to introduce all the dogs with me being able to watch which eased my worries. The dogs all listen to her. Shes a dog whisperer. She sent photos of Maci and I enjoyed getting to watch my girl socialize in the videos. My pup was so tired when I got her home. A tired pup is a good pup. Thank you for keeping her happy and safe!”

“Taylor kept our Golden Retriever for the week of Thanksgiving with very little notice. She was very friendly and played with our dog and sent us pictures to keep posted on his daily adventures. We will definitely trust Taylor to care for our beloved pet in the future!”
“Super friendly, & worked with us when we were in a bind, to watch our dog at the last minute. Everything went really well! She even sent us a pic! We highly recommend Katie, & hopefully she will always be our go-to sitter, from now on. :)”
“Sidney did an incredible job with my German Shepherd! She sent pictures and checked in regularly to put me at ease. If you’re in Roanoke, Sidney as your pet sitter is the best choice you can make!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“Mac is very nice and Gemma loved being there and playing with her dog. She sent regular check ups with us and sending pictures. Gemma is actually missing her best friend!!! She is either tired or missing her friend due to she has been sleeping alot. I will definitely bring Gemma back. She has very nice and quite place for any dog to play.”
“Lawdy was great to work with! She watched our two dogs for almost a full week, after being asked very last minute, and she gave them the love and attention they needed while she had them. We also had our return flight canceled because of the Microsoft crash (July 2024) and we needed to get home, so we rented a car to drive home instead. It took us an unexpected extra day to get home to pick up our fur-babies, and she made it so easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Lawdy for your dogs. 💕”
