“Eugene is very professional and you can tell he truly cares for the pets under his care. He made sure Dallas stayed safe during the high temperatures. Appreciated the last minute acceptance of the booking. Glad to have found Eugene to add to our Rover favorites!”
“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“What an incredible family taking care of our new puppy called Ziggy. We live abroad and needed a sitter until we could take him over full time. They were so easy to communicate with and so helpful with everything from change of food, treats, to teaching him demands and keeping him safe. He has been playing non stop with their house dog as well as with other dogs they have sat through the more than one month they took care of Ziggy. I can’t be thankful enough. Your dog will be safe with this family, I can assure you this! Thank you Maria & Matthew 🙏🏻”
“Rachael took care of my two dogs that are 3 and 16 years old. I was having trouble finding someone to take care of my 16 year old until I found Rachael. This was my first time ever doing this and I was nervous but when my family and I were on vacation Rachael sent pictures and videos of them. It made feel better and that they were in good hands. She did a awesome job taking care my dogs and thankful she helped us out.”
“Thanks goodness we found John. He was able to accommodate our rottie, Mazie for the week we spend on vacation with only a couple weeks notice. We got a daily update with pics and video everyday letting us know how she was doing. So communication was great through the whole process. We will definitely keep John in mind when we vacation again in the OBX.”
“NOVA had a Wonderful time with Jen. Nova is sweet and can be shy but has a lot of energy. Jen’s big fenced back yard is ideal for Nova who is a teenage dog to romp and play. This was Nova’s second time staying with Jen. Nova stayed (9) days and Jen communicated well, sent lots of pictures and gave updates on Nova’s routine while staying with her. I highly recommend Jen to watch Nova again. Any dog staying with Jen is in good hands.”
“We loved Amanda! Duke had a great time spending time with Amanda, and she was so helpful and responsive from day one. We got tons of pictures and updates, and loved seeing what Duke was up to all weekend. Amanda was also really flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was so helpful to us when our flight was delayed 4 hours! We had a great experience and will definitely be using Amanda again in the future. This was our first Rover experience, and I'm glad we had this option for Duke who loves people so much and just wouldn't thrive in a kennel atmosphere. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of Duke!”
“I had an amazing experience with Beverly ! She took care of my dog for a full week and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she keep me updated regularly with pictures , but my dog was clearly happy and well-cared for the entire time. On the 6th day, she even gave him a bath. It’s such a relief to know your pet is in good hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time booking with Aimee, and everything from booking to pickup went great. Communication was timely, and we received an update and pictures everyday. Both our babies made new friends, and got to have the staycation that fit their personalities. Bella got to relax and chill while our wild child Biscuit had a friend to match his energy. They even got a report card which I must say was graded pretty accurately. Thank you Aimee and family!”
“I knew immediately upon dropping my dog Ace off that he would be in good hands! I felt at such peace all weekend knowing he was getting lots of love and attention! Gail was great about sending pictures and updates! 5 stars!”
“Katja did a terrific job taking care of my sweet little dog! She sent me updates and pictures every day to let me know how she was doing, she even sent me a couple of videos. Katja and her family treated my baby like part of their family. I would definitely hire her again!”
“So happy with our experience with Ricardo! He treated our lab just like family, and by the photos I could tell just how much Bailey was enjoying himself at the farm! He got ample play and love time. Ricardo was great about keeping us up to date on how Bailey was doing every day! We were very busy day of and chose to have pick up and drop off which was also very easy! Overall, I highly recommend Ricardo and will use him any other time Bailey needs to be boarded!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was a wonderful experience! My dog is 12 years old and blind, so at first I was anxious about leaving her under someone else’s care. Jiyali made me feel very comfortable with her listed experience and asking the right questions before dropping her off to make sure she would be comfortable and happy during her stay. She sent frequent updates, and in every photo and video my dog looked so happy to be there! The process was very convenient, and both me and my dog were comfortable with the care she provided and will definitely request her again. I’m grateful to have found someone that could ease my anxiety and make the experience wonderful. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Stacy and her family were so so so kind and loving to my dog Bella!! Bella is 19 months old so definitely still in the puppy phase and Stacy was so welcoming and loving to her! I had to go out of town for a few days and I got updates with pictures and she truly spoiled her! I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my Bella girl. Truly amazing at what she does!!!”
“Wendy was awesome taking care of our pup on short notice! She was very accommodating to our schedule and made logistics easy. It was clear Ollie felt right at home. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time having Cassie and Tradd watch our dog while we were in vacation and we can’t recommend them enough! He ran right in, so excited to be there, and we always appreciate all the updates they send. Definitely the best home away from home for our fur child ❤️”
“MaryAnn did an awesome job watching my dog. She took her in on short notice over the holidays and sent me great pictures every day. She even gave her a small birthday party with extra turkey for dinner! Highly recommend!”
“I was afraid my dog wouldn’t be able to stay at someone’s home and true enough Hailey with confidence for sure knew exactly what to do. She was patient with me and absolutely reassuring that everything’s okay. She sent photos daily and was super communicative! I will be booking again!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She followed every instruction I left, respected my home, and truly went above and beyond. She brought her own toys to keep my cats entertained, which I really appreciated, and she kept me updated with excellent communication throughout the entire booking. I loved receiving the many pictures she sent because they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my pets and treated them like her own. I came home to happy cats, and everything was exactly as I had left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with Sarah again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and caring!”

And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation.

I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.

“Rachel was great! My little girl can be nervous with new people but Rachel made her feel right at home. Layla had a great time playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired.

“This review comes a bit late, I apologize for not writing it sooner as I intended. I did want to make sure that pet owners that are in need of a dog sitter, to please consider Sabrina. We live in Maryland and we had to go to Virginia for a conference. We also wanted to take our pups with us so we didn't have to leave them back home. We decided to use Rover and this was our 1st time. I came across Sabrina's profile, read her reviews and had a peace about hiring her. We booked her back in mid July for mid September dates. Over the next few weeks, we kept referring to our pups as little ranch hands :-) . On the day of meeting, we were greeted by Sabrina's assistant Lauren and our dogs fell in love right away. They communicated throughout the 2 days, sent pictures whether they were securing the grounds, sniffing the animals or napping after a hard day. They were well taken care of. We absolutely plan to use Sabrina again next year pending the conference. Thank you again”

“Communication was great! For our first time we felt so comfortable leaving our baby! I was a nervous wreck but was constantly comforted with messages and pictures! She was in great hands during our absence. When we left she was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave her new family. Looking forward to future visits. Thank you for taking great care of our girl and for being so flexible!”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“What an incredible family taking care of our new puppy called Ziggy. We live abroad and needed a sitter until we could take him over full time. They were so easy to communicate with and so helpful with everything from change of food, treats, to teaching him demands and keeping him safe. He has been playing non stop with their house dog as well as with other dogs they have sat through the more than one month they took care of Ziggy. I can’t be thankful enough. Your dog will be safe with this family, I can assure you this! Thank you Maria & Matthew 🙏🏻”
“Rachael took care of my two dogs that are 3 and 16 years old. I was having trouble finding someone to take care of my 16 year old until I found Rachael.

Both our babies made new friends, and got to have the staycation that fit their personalities. Bella got to relax and chill while our wild child Biscuit had a friend to match his energy. They even got a report card which I must say was graded pretty accurately. Thank you Aimee and family!”

“I knew immediately upon dropping my dog Ace off that he would be in good hands! I felt at such peace all weekend knowing he was getting lots of love and attention! Gail was great about sending pictures and updates! 5 stars!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My husband and I recently moved to the area and were in need of a sitter on very short notice. Amber and Dane were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our pup in their care. Prior to drop-off, our dog developed a hot spot on his neck and had been placed in a cone and started on antibiotics by the vet. Amber and Dane were extremely knowledgeable and attentive when it came to caring for a dog with additional medical needs, and they kept me updated throughout his stay on how he was doing and healing. They were also incredibly understanding and supportive during our transition into a new area, which meant so much to us. On top of that, they have three beautiful dogs of their own, and my Frenchie absolutely loved being around them. You can truly tell they care deeply about animals, and they’ve absolutely turned us into long-term returning clients.”
