She has the perfect setup for small dogs and I'm grateful she was available. I would definitely book with Gail again!”
“Sandi stay with Beverly was great. She’s attentive and communicated daily with text and by sending pictures. She gets a 10 out of 10 rating and Sandi will be back again.”
“Amy was great with my pup!! She sent lots of updates and pictures which is something I really like seeing while I’m gone. Ducky came back a happy girl and I could tell she was well cared for!”
“I recently adopted a blind, deaf senior dog. I was very anxious about leaving him, since he was just starting to learn his way around, but I had a pre-planned trip out of town. Michelle had boarded my previous blind dog and I knew she provided outstanding care, so I asked her if she would be willing to board this one. She said yes, which helped relieve me a little, and reassured me that she would keep him safe. Little did I expect the level of service she provided! She sent me pictures of him daily, introduced him to other senior pets, and carried him around in a special harness while she did chores. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying! She is the only one I trust with my pets! You won't be sorry...she's fabulous!”
“Lillian and Tim did an amazing job with my dog Artemis. They sent pictures and updates, and I have never seen her so happy after an overnight. Highly recommend using them for your dog watching needs.”
“Kathleen was so nice! Her and her husband kept in constant communication while I was gone to give me updates on my doggy and send me pictures. She even bought my dog a new toy! Kathleen went above and beyond watching my dog for 2 weeks during the holidays. She was amazing!”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Rebecca was Amazing! She worked with Peanut, maintained the limitations that we established at home and communicated frequently via text message and videos! It takes me 30 mins to get to her, but it is 1,000% worth it!”
“My pup is 6 months old and very skittish with new people and surrounding, they were great with meeting him before hand a few times, and very patient with him. They sent me pictures almost everyday and took great care of my baby while we were gone.”
“Had the best experience! And the fact that she was able to accept a last minute booking was sooo wonderful! My fur baby was well taken care of ☺️ Would recommend! 10/10”
“Julie and Ken were fantastic! Fern stayed with them for a full week. Julie kept me up to date everyday with pictures and a little note about her day. Knowing that she was with a caring family made it easy for me to not worry while on vacation. I will absolutely rebook with them!”
“Cassie and Tradd were the BEST home away from home for our dog! They sent us lots of updates and he was always smiling so wide, we knew he was well loved. We cannot recommend them enough - they have definitely become our go-to Rover family!”
“Lauren and her wonderful family are the very best sitters and genuinely love dogs. This is Ollie's second time visiting, and I know he's happy and loved; he always has a blast playing with Lauren's dog, Milo. Thank you!”
“Melanie was amazing! She sent pictures throughout the day to reassure me that my baby was okay while I was in vacation. I will definitely book with Melanie again.”

“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”

“Jazmin took great care of my cat, Aia! She came over early in the morning on a weekend was I was away. She gave her food and water, cleaned her litter, and played with her during her drop-ins. I love the photos she took. Thanks Jazmin for your help! Everything was in order when I came home ?”
“Nick was so nice. He took great care of Pebbles, arriving early in the morning and in the afternoon for her feeding. She’s pretty low maintenance but we think she was probably lonely and Nick paid her close attention and gave her lots of love when he stopped by, which we appreciated. The updates were great and unobtrusive and we appreciated the photos. We’ll be happy to book him again for our next trip.”

“Teresa is seriously the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My cat loves her and she always takes such good care of her while I’m gone. She always sends photos and videos, which since I travel away from home a lot helps me stay connected. I definitely recommend Teresa’s service, but I call first dibs! :)”

“Jasmine was phenomenal! She provided wonderfully thorough updates about my cat, letting me know her behavior and sending me a lot of pictures (some of my cat being silly and some nice ones too). I feel very lucky to have hired Jasmine for her excellent service because I booked last second and needed to extend the length of cat sitting. Thank you so much, Jasmine!”

I currently have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement when caring for pets of all ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also provided care for a friend's senior dog while they were away on vacation, giving me experience with the extra patience and attention older dogs often need.

I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“Amy was great with my pup!! She sent lots of updates and pictures which is something I really like seeing while I’m gone. Ducky came back a happy girl and I could tell she was well cared for!”
“I recently adopted a blind, deaf senior dog. I was very anxious about leaving him, since he was just starting to learn his way around, but I had a pre-planned trip out of town. Michelle had boarded my previous blind dog and I knew she provided outstanding care, so I asked her if she would be willing to board this one. She said yes, which helped relieve me a little, and reassured me that she would keep him safe. Little did I expect the level of service she provided! She sent me pictures of him daily, introduced him to other senior pets, and carried him around in a special harness while she did chores. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying! She is the only one I trust with my pets! You won't be sorry...she's fabulous!”
“Lillian and Tim did an amazing job with my dog Artemis. They sent pictures and updates, and I have never seen her so happy after an overnight. Highly recommend using them for your dog watching needs.”
“Kathleen was so nice! Her and her husband kept in constant communication while I was gone to give me updates on my doggy and send me pictures. She even bought my dog a new toy! Kathleen went above and beyond watching my dog for 2 weeks during the holidays. She was amazing!”
“Lisa is absolutely amazing!!! As a military family it isn’t always easy to plan trips overseas and Lisa was completely understanding and flexible with our booking dates. We had to change plans and she was completely accommodating! Our dog Nahla was in great hands with Lisa. We received several updates and pictures everyday and she was quick to respond to every message. We highly recommend her and plan on having our dog stay with her again! Thank you again Lisa for taking such great care of our Nahla! ♥️ ♥️ You are definitely worth the 45 minute commute!”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Rebecca was Amazing! She worked with Peanut, maintained the limitations that we established at home and communicated frequently via text message and videos! It takes me 30 mins to get to her, but it is 1,000% worth it!”
“My pup is 6 months old and very skittish with new people and surrounding, they were great with meeting him before hand a few times, and very patient with him. They sent me pictures almost everyday and took great care of my baby while we were gone.”
“Had the best experience! And the fact that she was able to accept a last minute booking was sooo wonderful! My fur baby was well taken care of ☺️ Would recommend! 10/10”
“Lauren and her wonderful family are the very best sitters and genuinely love dogs. This is Ollie's second time visiting, and I know he's happy and loved; he always has a blast playing with Lauren's dog, Milo. Thank you!”
“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”
“Shannon was great. I received photos daily. They treated my dogs like their own. My pups got along great with her pups. Highly recommend. This was the first time my dogs were away from home and us, I cam say I was nervous at first but after the 1st night I was at ease. Will definitely leave my furbabies with them again.”
“Maria & Matthew are the absolute best! We’ve used them twice and each time it gets better! Our dog loves his mini vaca at their house with his doggie friends. Their communication is incredible! Maria and Matthew are our go to sitters!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Vania was awesome! She accepted my booking last minute was very accommodating and her communication was awesome! I can tell she really loves dogs and did everything to make mine feel comfortable. I will be booking again !”
