“First time leaving my pup with new sitters that were not close to home. Loved the fact that she was able to roam the home. Even though she was mad at me! She looked happy 😊when I picked her up. Diffiently will give Eldeen another try, very pleased with the outcome.”
“We are repeat clients of Heather. She is our first choice for dog boarding not only because Lucky is well cared for while with her, but also because she takes the time to understand his personality and tendencies. We trust Heather to care for our family member!”
“He was great, very accommodating and even would’ve kept our pups another day due to a storm we were coming back in. Highly recommend, with lots of land for the pups!”
“I'm very pleased with my 2 little old ladies' first stay with Rebeca and Roman. Rebeca showed me the yard, took their shared kennel inside and set everything up. I left food, supplements, bowls, and my dogs' pads and blankets, and she did the rest. I got plenty of pics of my girls and their new friends while I was out of town. It was a very easy pick-up, since Rebeca had everything broken down for me. I won't hesitate to bring them back again. Chuck”
“As always, Audree and her family are the best! This our dog's second home. He gets so excited going over there and we are so thankful for having them. We are at peace knowing he is always in good hands and well taken care of!”
“Heather was very accommodating in the drop off time and pickup time, especially during the busy Christmas weekend. She sent us regular photos and replied quickly to messages.”
“Camila is so friendly & sweet! I know our golden retriever absolutely loved her and her family! I had a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and had daily updates thanks to Camila! I would absolutely use Camila’s boarding service again. Thanks again, Camila!”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“Laurie was exceptionally welcoming to Bruce! Got endless photos and updates and was very happy to see Bruce having an excellent time! Additionally Laurie was extremely accommodating as weekend plans had to be extended due to flight delays and such getting back into the local area. Laurie is very helpful and quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone as it is for certain your pet will be well taken care of.”
“We are so lucky to have discovered Seyla! Our dog had as much fun on his vacation as we did on ours:). Seyla took him on amazing adventures, even in the icy cold, and fed and cared for him very well. Thank you so much, Seyla!”
“I had never left my Yorkie with anyone and was very nervous. Connie quickly responded to my request to watch Buoy. I was so blessed to have found her! She took such good care of my baby! She sent lots of photos each day and I could see Buoy was getting lots of attention and having lots of fun! If I need to leave him again in the future I would definitely contact Connie!”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“Julie is so amazing! She keeps you informed daily with pics and updates. My dog Mack really seemed to enjoy his week long stay. I highly recommend her!! Thanks Julie for taking such excellent care of my boy!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Amber’s care for my dog over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive and provided me with frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Amber made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Amber, for going above and beyond!”

About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
About: I’ve taken care of older dogs as well as puppies. I’m an outdoorsy person, love going to parks and taking my doggy nieces with me! Your dog will be engaged, played with and cared for. Walks- (M-F) after 6:00pm Saturday anytime Sundays after 2pm Drop in visits- only available on weekends anytime House sitting- available 7 days a week, for M-F I will be working 8am-5pm, Saturday and Sundays available all day I love to play, cuddle and pet. I also understand that not all dogs like that. Depending on the dog’s personality and body language, I’ll typically do whatever is more comfortable for them. I have a puppy niece that is very active and is high energy and loves to cuddle and my other doggy niece (an older pitty) prefers to be left alone and watch tv lol so I’m pretty adaptable.
“Samira took amazing care of my cat Reese and went above and beyond—even when the app had issues. They found other ways to keep me updated and made sure Reese was happy and comfortable. I came home to a relaxed cat and a clean space. Highly recommend if you want someone who truly cares!”
“Very communicative and helpful. I have two skittish cats and she managed to befriend them - that alone deserves 5 stars! Haha Did a great job, would totally recommend if you need someone to take care of your fur babies.”

“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”
“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”

“This was my first experience with Rover, and I chose to book with Heather due to her exceptional 5-star ratings. Now, I'm thrilled to contribute another 5-star review myself. My dog was quite anxious during drop-off, being away for the first time, but Heather's continuous updates and photos of Joy throughout the day were incredibly reassuring. Witnessing my dog's evident happiness upon pick-up affirmed that she had been expertly cared for. Without a doubt, I'll be rebooking with Heather in the future.”
About: Over the years, I've been blessed with friends trusting me to care for their fur babies, and we always have a good time. I observe every tiny detail of doggie behavior and what makes them comfortable. I enjoy letting them smell and observe their surroundings, and get them acclimated before introducing them to my day-to-day lifestyle, but I’m pretty much chill and easygoing. Both of my dogs are obedient and friendly, and have been trained at home. One of our dogs came home as a puppy, and the other one is a rescue, and both get along well. With practice and patience, I’ve learned to take care of most of their grooming, including nails, ears, paw trims, brushing their teeth, de-shedding, and doggie baths. With routines, I like start small with walks to get a sense of their pace and smelling habits so that they enjoy every minute, and if need be, I can help correct some of the leash pulling. I am also well accustomed to administering oral medication when dogs are on a schedule, so if that's something that you need for your pup, I’m happy to help. I'm blessed to be able to work from home, so I spend all day with my dogs. My usual work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9-5 pm, so I usually run my errands in the afternoon, and go for a walk with them if it’s nice out. On occasions, I sometimes take my pups to the dog park so they can burn some energy. Your pup will rarely be alone, but if I need to run errands for whatever reason, I have a doggie room with a camera so I can monitor them. There’s also plenty of toys, beds, and crates, just in case. I don't crate my pups anymore since they've learned to behave when alone, but if you'd like me to crate yours, just let me know. I’m more than happy to accommodate you and your fur baby's needs. In this house, your pet isn't a guest; they’re part of the pack. I have two other dogs that will keep your baby company and provide lots of playtime. I will follow your home routine to a T, and provide lots of belly rubs, walkies, and playtime. My house has a large fenced-in backyard, so they will have ample room to play and frequent breaks. Additionally, the neighborhood is very dog-friendly, so there are lots of sidewalks for walkies. There’s have plenty of toys here, and there are also a few dog parks nearby that we can visit, if your dog is comfortable. If your pup is more on the older side, prefers to sleep all day, and doesn't like to play as much, and/or is more of a loner, that's OK too! I’ll adjust to your routine and keep you up-to-date on everything. Basically, expect a very happy, very sleepy pet at pickup, daily updates, and peace of mind!

“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

“We are so lucky to have discovered Seyla! Our dog had as much fun on his vacation as we did on ours:). Seyla took him on amazing adventures, even in the icy cold, and fed and cared for him very well. Thank you so much, Seyla!”
“I had never left my Yorkie with anyone and was very nervous. Connie quickly responded to my request to watch Buoy. I was so blessed to have found her! She took such good care of my baby! She sent lots of photos each day and I could see Buoy was getting lots of attention and having lots of fun! If I need to leave him again in the future I would definitely contact Connie!”
“Julie is so amazing! She keeps you informed daily with pics and updates. My dog Mack really seemed to enjoy his week long stay. I highly recommend her!! Thanks Julie for taking such excellent care of my boy!”
“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”

I appreciate all the pictures and I feel comfortable that our gurl Socks is having a blast on her sleepover and enjoying her mini vacation with Mickey !!! Thanks so much Mickey continue to provide outstanding service!!!”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving our pups here! And I felt even better about it when I picked them up, I knew they had been taken care of. She sent photos every day and I just really had a good overall sense that they were well cared for. This is my first review since I started using Rover because I had nothing positive to say about our last pup-sitter. I would highly recommend Stacie.”
“Abby and her family were wonderful care givers of our elderly pets. Our buddies were in their care for more than a week and I can tell they were able to stick to the feeding routine. Our pets comeback in good shape. Thanks Abby and family!”
“We are extremely impressed and pleased with how Stephen and his family took care of our dogs! We have two basset hounds and they were provided with royal service, were pampered by the family love and attention. Every day of the stay Stephen updated us with reports with photos and videos and even being overseas we knew that our beloved pups are receiving a great care and happy! We will be using Stephen's service again and recommend to anyone to enjoy his high level of professionalism!”
