“Kayce did an excellent job taking care of our Golden Retriever! She was very communicative from the beginning of the booking all the way throughout the stay. During the stay, she sent daily photos with updates and stories of how our dog was having a great time with her dog and family. We will definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Love them! Their whole family was fantastic with our fur baby and made her feel right at home. We will definitely rebook with them, they are so sweet! We received so many photos during her stay and you could tell she was loved and cared for as their own.”
“Dylan was great with my little Man; Ricky was of course happy when I picked him up. It was the first time I had left him with anyone. He is 2-year-old Yorkie who has been very spoiled by one owner over the two years. I would recommend Dylan & Alex to anyone looking for a great and caring sitter.”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Our pups have stayed with Lucky twice now and have had great experiences both times. We get daily updates and they are so responsive for any questions before during or after the visit. Our pups were super excited when they were dropped off for our last trip so we can tell Lucky & her family takes great care of them. They are our go-to & we look forward to future stays!”
“Abby was a wonderful sitter for my two large Dobermans. The oldest has cancer and the youngest, I admit, is a spoiled handful. Abby was knowledgeable in the handling of both. I recommend her highly.”
“Amy & Grant were extremely accommodating on short notice. They sent me pictures of my dog without asking and were easy to work with. My dog was sad to leave their house, so I’ll be using them again.”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Elaine and Steven are very kind! Winnie enjoyed her time with them. Elaine sent us pictures and a video. It was so nice to know she was so well taken care of.”
“Kendra was great! This was Yasha’s second time staying with her in less than a month. Goes to show how reliable she is and how comfortable she makes you feel, leaving your fur baby with her. She truly cares. I appreciate all the photo’s and updates as well. It’s good to know my baby is having a good time while I am vacationing. No more guilt! lol”
“Always a good sign when Sven doesn't want to come home. I promise we're nice to him, but he must have loved it there--especially having other dogs to play with.”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“Jay, was amazing. She kept me updated and my pup and made sure to show me all the fun that he was having so that I knew he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay.”
“Damacia was excellent to work with. We met her a few days before we left on vacation. Very clean and well behaved other pups. Nice environment for our younger pup. She updated us through the time Maggie spent there and was great about meeting us to pick her up. We would highly recommend Damacia for your pet sitting needs!”
“Cameron absolutely loved his stay at Allejah’s home. She stayed in close contact with us and gave Cameron the best possible care. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“Kelsey is very flexible and responsive. My dog looked sad to leave! Oddly enough, we are excited to drop our dog off for our next vacation because we knot she'll have a great time. We highly recommend Kelsey!”

“Lauren, took care of Popcorn like he was her own. I felt comfortable letting her in my home when we were away and comfortable leaving Popcorn in her care. I usually use a kennel but Lauren and Rover has opened our eyes to other Pet Sitting options. We will hire her again if she will have us. We appreciate and Thank you Lauren!”
“Darnell took great care of my 3 cats with drop-in visits during a 10 day trip. It was reassuring getting updates and pictures after each visit. Very responsive to any communication.”
“Highly recommend Kayce!!!!! We used Kayce to house sit while watching our senior cat Morticia. Kayce was AMAZING. Best vibes. Mature, fun, open & honest, responsible and patient. Great communicator! She was wonderful with Morticia and sent pictures of their interactions. She respected our home as though her own. We will not hesitate to use her again for sitting the cat and/or house sitting.”
“Emily was absolutely hands-down the best sitter we've ever hired. She was amazing at being punctual for our daily drop-ins, and keeping up daily communication to let us know how things were going. We have a special needs cat that needed extra attention and a long to-do list that comes with the job, and she handled it so easily and professionally! I would highly recommend to anyone with high anxiety about their pets!”
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”
“Absolutely wonderful, Monique always takes wonderful care of our silly boys and the house, I’m never anxious (I am always anxious, always) when I know she’s helping us and for that, I am beyond grateful.”
About: I have been around cats for over 28 years and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Growing up and living with cats throughout my life has taught me how to understand feline behavior, provide a calm and safe environment, and recognize their individual needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong experience has made me dependable, attentive, and passionate about providing loving care for every cat I look after.
“Grace sent us lovely updates and pictures of our cats each day which made being away much easier. The cats were well played with and barely seemed to notice when we returned 🤣.”
“Shanelle was amazing with our cat! She went above and beyond even vacuuming the carpet without us asking her to do so. I will absolutely always book Shanelle when I leave town.”
“Brenda cared for our cats as if they were her own! She was super friendly, offered meet and greets with our babies, and was responsive to communication! We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
About: As a lifelong cat lover and the current proud owner of two indoor cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep your feline friends happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Cats can be sensitive to change, and my experience allows me to respect their boundaries while ensuring they get the care they need, whether they are social or independent. I am highly adept at the essential, hands-on aspects of cat care, including scooping litter, cleaning up unexpected messes, and successfully administering oral pills or other medications without causing extra stress. I am available for daily drop-in visits to refresh food and water, clean the litter box, and provide plenty of play and affection so you can travel with total peace of mind.
About: I currently own a 2YO cat whom Ive learned so much from. Knowing their needs and wants has become number one priority to me so they can live the best life they well deserve. I am experienced with showing love, care and compassion.
“Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.”
“Kelsey is an awesome pet sitter! She had great communication and shared lots of pictures of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I came home to 2 happy cats and have already booked Kelsey to help me again!”

“Kayce was amazing! Our request was very last minute but she was very accommodating and flexible. Bree took to her home very quickly. We were able to enjoy our day with no stress knowing Bree was in good hands. Kayce communicated often and we never had to ask or pry for an update. We will absolutely reach out to Kayce if we are in the area again and 100% recommend her services to everyone! This was our first time using Rover and we were lucky enough to have such a positive experience that we will definitely be using it again.??”
“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.
“Very genuine person, got down on brownie's level to engage with her, brownie was happy and well taken care off. Abby worked with me and my schedule, I am grateful that brownie has a home away from home”
About: We love our fur babies and have been fostering dogs and cats for years. Every dog becomes a member of our family while they are here! Our furniture is pet-friendly and we have a fenced in back yard. We love to go to the park and hike with our dogs when the weather is pleasant! 🐾 Health & Vaccination Policy 🐾 For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I require that all dogs are up-to-date on the following vaccinations: • Rabies • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) • Bordetella (kennel cough) Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series appropriate for their age. I may request proof of vaccinations prior to your booking, especially for boarding or daycare stays where pets may be in shared spaces. Additionally: • Dogs should be free of fleas, ticks, and any contagious illnesses • Please let me know if your pet has recently been sick or exposed to illness • Pets showing signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, etc.) may need to reschedule for everyone’s safety I truly care about creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for every pet. Thank you for helping me keep all my furry guests happy and healthy! 🐶💛 I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, as I work from home part time. We love walks, so a well behaved dog is always welcome on our walks with us. The children in my life are also dog lovers and will be happy to snuggle, play and dote on your fur baby, too. I have a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and I have a large crate, if needed. For anxious dogs, I have the space to keep your fur baby apart from other animals in my home.
“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”
“Jeanette was great! She was able to accommodate Romeo in a very short time frame, and had to wake up early for the drop off. She kept me updated and Romeo loved her! Overall great experience.”
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“Sabrina was extremely accommodating as I needed day care coverage extremely last minute. She allowed the my pup & her dogs to get comfortable with one another and sent me updates throughout the day without prompting. I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”
“Abreya is wonderful. Great communication, friendly, & flexible. Don’t hesitate to book her. We needed services early morning hours outside of her normal hours & she was able to do it. Communication was top notch. Definitely will be using her again & again. Thanks again Abreya.”
About: I’ve taken care of my sisters dogs in the past, also owned many dogs growing up. My daughter LOVES them. My availability is pretty open! We would love to meet your furry friends. I’m in college and and i’m not currently working. My availability is open so that I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. We love animal's in my home we will treat them as our own of course. My place is clean and taken care of perfect setting.
“Deven and Tyreek were AMAZING with Ms.Jaxon. She was very timid at first but they won her over very quickly. Now she gets excited as soon as we enter the neighborhood 🥹 And the photos💕💕💕”
“Lisa was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! Her bubbly personality immediately put both me and my dogs at ease. She was incredibly generous with her communication, sending me regular updates and photos of their daily adventures, which I truly appreciated. It was so clear from every interaction that she has a genuine love for canines. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”
About: Hi, my name is Arlyn. I am 27 years old. I am born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and moved to Chester, Virginia back in 2011 but now living in Colonial Heights, VA. I'm a dog lover! I've owned 3 dogs previously and understand we want the best for them while we’re away. They are our fur babies after all right? I will make sure to give them lots of play time and walk time as well as sleep time. Making them feel at home and loved. Daily frequent walks are a must as well as play time. Even though you would be away, I wanna make sure they have a great time with me and help them feel less lonely. After all, mi casa es su casa (: Please remember to bring any dog bowls, food, leashes and any toys to make them feel at home and comfortable. In consideration, please bathe your furry one prior to house boarding or daycare. Thank you! Hope to see you soon! With current Covid regulations, I am permanently working from home so I am able to tend to your fur baby’s every need throughout the day. I have a 4 year old female pit bull & a 3 year old male bully that loves to play outside in our large fenced In back yard. They both have a crate that they can be in as well if your dog needs some separation. I can also crate your dog as well if needed.
About: As a former teacher and parent, I bring a level of patience, structure, and attentiveness to dog care that closely mirrors what children need to feel safe, supported, and well-guided. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear boundaries are—not just for behavior, but for overall well-being. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of my daily life. I have hands-on experience with multiple breeds and temperaments, including my own dogs: three Huskies, a Dalmatian, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy and more sensitive breeds, and how to balance activity with proper rest. My home is run as a family-supported, professionally managed boarding environment. My husband, a veteran, is also present and supportive, adding an extra level of attentiveness and reliability to the care your dog receives. What truly sets me apart is the intentional structure I provide. Dogs in my care are guided through a balanced routine that includes play, socialization, rest, and calm time. This helps prevent overstimulation, anxiety, and unsafe behaviors. This type of environment doesn’t just keep dogs safe—it helps them build better habits. Dogs learn to settle, share space appropriately, and become more comfortable around other dogs in a controlled setting. For many dogs, this supports improvements in reactivity, socialization, and overall behavior, helping them become more confident and well-adjusted outside of the home. I strongly believe that dogs thrive when their needs are met through routine, rest, and structure. Just like people, they require downtime and sleep to stay balanced. A consistent schedule helps prevent stress and overstimulation, creating a calmer, happier experience. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, but I am intentional about ensuring that each dog is a good fit for my environment, so I can maintain a safe, structured, and positive space for every dog in my care. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my daily schedule is built entirely around the dogs in my care. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, scheduled walks, outdoor play, and one-on-one attention. Dogs are cared for on a structured routine that includes activity, feeding, and designated rest periods to keep them balanced and comfortable. I’m able to maintain a calm, organized environment where dogs receive reliable care, attention, and structure every day. I provide care in a structured, well-managed home designed for safety, balance, and low stress. As an owner of 5 dogs, 3 different breeds who are trained, I know what dogs need to thrive, feel loved, and thrive socially. While dogs are treated with love and attention, this is not a free-roam environment. I operate a crate-structured system that allows each dog to rest, reset, and avoid overstimulation while also keeping all dogs safe. In my home: • Dogs are comfortably crate trained • Dogs are crated during rest periods, overnight, and when unsupervised • Dogs are rotated for safe, controlled interaction • Dogs are never left to freely roam together without supervision This setup allows me to safely care for multiple dogs while still providing individual attention and a calm atmosphere. For safety: • Dogs must be non-aggressive toward people and other dogs • No history of biting or unsafe behavior • Dogs must be able to remain calm when confined • Collar or harness is required at all times This environment is best suited for dogs who are used to structure, routine, and boundaries.

“Darnell has been wonderful. He has communicated well and his very respectful/trustworthy to my house. Aurora is also enjoying her time as well(she looks for walks around the same times during the weekends when it’s just us).I’m thankful for Darnell and recommend him for your pet care needs.”
About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.
About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky butt, stinky breath, so ugly that they’re cute, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing a safe, attentive, and comfortable environment for pets. I am currently going to college and have too much time on my hands. What better time to spend my free time than with your pups. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having been around dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I always ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I believe strong communication, reliability, and genuine compassion help build trust with both pets and their owners, allowing every dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my care.
About: Active military family who loves animals and doing activities with animals! We have 2 dogs who love other animals :) My wife works from home, and we do not have kids. One of us works from home, so we are usually at home with the dogs most of the day and our weekends are usually very flexible! We have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. We can easily crate dogs if need be. We like to take daily walks!
“Shanelle did an amazing job with my extremely hyper and large pup. Sent me pictures on every visit (3x a day) and was great at communicating throughout her time with him. 10/10 would recommend, I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lora did an awesome job with Veechie. She clearly has not only a genuine love for animals, but for human beings as well. I had a knee replacement a week ago, and she was very understanding of my pain and very comforting. In this short time, I definitely consider Lora someone to be trusted without only my dog, but with all of the pets in my home. It’s very hard for me to trust other people with my dog especially and I’m very glad that I chose Lora to walk him and I would definitely choose her over and over again with no hesitation. Great experience thank you.”

“Max is amazing! He's professional, punctual, and very polite. He communicates well when scheduling his walks. And my dog can't wait to see him everyday! He has done a great job redirecting my reactive dog when encountering other dogs during walks as well. I highly recommend him if your dog needs some walks!”
“Tiffany is amazing! She goes above and beyond. This is truly her passion. She loves what she do and it shows. This is my third time using Rover and she is the best one we booked for our Buddy. Tiffany, I hope you are available whenever me and my family decides to travel.”
“Emily was simply outstanding. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and kept me up to date on everything happening with her. I would absolutely recommend her 100% to anyone who needs dog care/services!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.

“Kayce did an excellent job taking care of our Golden Retriever! She was very communicative from the beginning of the booking all the way throughout the stay. During the stay, she sent daily photos with updates and stories of how our dog was having a great time with her dog and family. We will definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Love them! Their whole family was fantastic with our fur baby and made her feel right at home. We will definitely rebook with them, they are so sweet! We received so many photos during her stay and you could tell she was loved and cared for as their own.”
“Dylan was great with my little Man; Ricky was of course happy when I picked him up. It was the first time I had left him with anyone. He is 2-year-old Yorkie who has been very spoiled by one owner over the two years. I would recommend Dylan & Alex to anyone looking for a great and caring sitter.”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Our pups have stayed with Lucky twice now and have had great experiences both times. We get daily updates and they are so responsive for any questions before during or after the visit. Our pups were super excited when they were dropped off for our last trip so we can tell Lucky & her family takes great care of them. They are our go-to & we look forward to future stays!”
“Abby was a wonderful sitter for my two large Dobermans. The oldest has cancer and the youngest, I admit, is a spoiled handful. Abby was knowledgeable in the handling of both. I recommend her highly.”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Elaine and Steven are very kind! Winnie enjoyed her time with them. Elaine sent us pictures and a video. It was so nice to know she was so well taken care of.”
“Always a good sign when Sven doesn't want to come home. I promise we're nice to him, but he must have loved it there--especially having other dogs to play with.”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“Radka was absolutely wonderful with Sully! She sent lots and lots of pictures and videos and Sully was having so much fun in each one. Her backyard is huge and a haven for any playful pup. She took great care in making sure Sully ate his food (he can be picky) and provided updates on how he was doing each day. Can’t recommend her enough and will be booking again in the future!!”
“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”
“Lisa is amazing and took great care of my boy, Henry! She provided updates and photos while dog sitting and has a nice home with fully fenced backyard to accommodate any dog. Henry enjoyed his stay and we'll definitely look to work with her again for dog sitting needs.”
“First time using Rover for having a dog sitter but she guided me through it. Excellent communication. Having a bigger dog I was nervous to leave him because some people are just afraid/wary of them but she was very understanding and assured me everything would be fine. Sent pictures of my dog to me throughout the entire time. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Laura and DJ took such great care of our dogs, Benny and Kiwi, while we were away for our wedding weekend!! They sent regular picture and video updates of the pups playing, getting love, and having fun. I can’t thank them enough! Definitely 10/10 recommend booking with them!”
