“My dog loves going to Stacey’s place. She takes great care of him even with his different eating preferences. Will keep booking with her and definitely recommend!”

“Marilynn is THE BEST! Super loving and accommodating to our two dogs. She set pictures and updates to us daily, and included a sweet little note in their things for us to read when we picked them up. If Marilynn would take our somewhat grumpy old guy and our high octane little girl again, we would love it!”

“Ashlee is amazing with Bosco and sends us pictures of him playing with all his new friends! Hes always so excited when he first sees her which makes leaving him a little bit easier ☺️”

“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”


“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”


“Daniel did a great job with watching the pups. He sent nice updates and pictures. I would highly recommend him to watch any dogs and will definitely use him again when I am in need for someone to take great care of my dogs.”
“As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....”

“Becky is the absolute best! I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars for her. Our older dog got sick while staying with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of, even offering to take him to the vet while we were away on vacation. She gave us lots of updates to let us know how he was doing; communication was great. She told us when we first met that when dogs stay with her, she treats them like part of her family, and she showed us that she really means it.”

“This is Bud's home away from home (my husband calls Mary's home Bud's 'vacation home'. We feel so good about Bud staying here, he's so well taken care of, and he has lots of fun playing with his best friend Matteo! Thank you, once again, for taking such good care of our baby boy Bud!”

“Tyler and Milo were an awesome fit. I appreciated the check ins which game me peace of mind that Milo was taken care of and happy in a new environment. He had plenty of space to run around and new people to cuddle with. I will definitely be happy to work with Tyler in the future!”

“I was nervous leaving my boys in someone else's home. From the meet and greet it was obvious that Zach would be a great fit for my boys! He was engaging and they both liked him alot right away. When I dropped them off, they were excited to be there!! Zach was Great with communication, sending a Pic and video answering me quickly. I would definitely recommend Zach!! I will definitely have him watch them again if needed and if he accepted!!”

“Stella stayed with Dawn and her family for a few days. Overall, the stay sounds like it went well. She has a nice fenced yard for her to run and play ball. They communicated and sent pictures and were quick to respond to messages.”
“Debbie was great! She was very on top of things with my pup Reggie. She set up a meet and greet ahead of time to ensure we were both comfortable with Reggie spending the night and it put my mind at ease. I completely trust her to take great care of my pup. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke was top notch! She watched my dog Ned and took him in with open arms. He has epilepsy and requires medication and special needs/attention and I was so impressed with her care for him. He played with her other doggos, got brushed regularly, walked routinely, and he was overall loved at her place. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Brooke :)”

“Joe and Lilly were wonderful! My dog Ruth had a great weekend with them. They were very kind, and accommodating when I had an emergency. Thank you!”

“Kristi did a great job, our two small dogs were happy when we picked them up and we could tell they were not stressed when we were gone. She snuggles with them on the couch and lets them sleep on the bed. They got along great with her dog. They even got homemade healthy treats. She let us come for a visit before their stay so it would not be a strange place for them to go. She is also 10 minutes from the airport. Will defiantly use Kristi again.”


About: I have had a deep compassion for all animals my whole life, wanting nothing more but for them to be happy. When your furry family members are with me, safety and entertainment will be of top priority. Giving love is second nature to me and I will be at full attention with your dog. Fun and exercise with plenty of fresh air guaranteed! I have specific walking routes to know where your pet will always be at all times , and communication will be as frequently as desired. Pictures will be posted regularly. Part of how I reach maximum comfortability for your dog is by using famiar language (commands) and learning it's habits and rituals. Everything has a personality and I try hard to learn what your dogs is like. Last but not least, I am all breed friendly!
“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! I love all animals, and cats hold a very special place in my heart. I’ve been caring for cats since middle school, when I started out as the go-to neighborhood cat sitter. Today, I am the first-choice caregiver for my family and friends whenever they travel and need someone to keep their kitties safe, comfortable, and content. I understand that cats are creatures of habit and can be sensitive to changes in their environment or routine. My primary goal is to minimize their stress and ensure they feel secure while you're away.
“Leandrea is a real Rover rockstar! From the first time we met her we knew our beloved kitty Louie would be in great hands. Leandrea goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is fed, cared for, played with, and loved in a professional and friendly manner. She provided detailed updates with plenty of cute photos to let us know how our Kitty was doing the entirety of the time she watched him. I can’t recommend Leandrea enough, she was truly fantastic. Thank you so much again Leandrea!!”


“Nicole is kind, compassionate and conscientious. Kikki trusts her gentle ways. They are friends now. We totally trust her to care for our house and possessions. We will definitely have her back.”

“Vanessa was communicative, prompt, and kind to our sweet kitty mochi! We are extra grateful she came by over the holidays. We are so glad we found her and can’t wait to invite her over again soon.”


“Mallory did a great job checking in on our cat Marvin while we were away on vacation. She provided great updates with photos every visit, and was very professional & communicative overall. Thank you Mallory!”


“A big shout out to Jenn! She was so fantastic providing updates and pictures during her visits for our much loved cat, Scrappy. Jenn was great at making us feel comfortable leaving Scrappy in her care knowing that she was confident and knowledgeable about giving medications. We are so grateful to have found Jenn and we will definitely be looking forward to having her care for Scrappy again in the future.”

“Kristy did a great job caring for my kitty. She was prompt and clear with all our communications, starting with the first meeting, and was very pleasant to work with. I'll definitely contact her again next time.”


“With my travel schedule for work it is hard to plan ahead and Sarah has been so accommodating with my schedule and taking on watching Flossy it gives me a sense of security knowing she is there for me. She is a great communicator and she is someone that really loves her job. I couldn’t be more satisfied as a customer with Rover and Sarah is the sole reason for that.”


“Lilly has been my go-to to check on my cat when I am out of town. She is attentive and diligent. She lets me know if anything seems amiss at the apartment or if my cat has been naughty and gotten into something he shouldn’t have. I have never had any issue with Lilly’s services whatsoever”


“Michele was FANTASTIC! I had so much confidence in her, she has extensive experience with dogs, cats and small animals that I knew my pets were in great hands! She was so thorough and responsive with visits and our pets seemed very happy! We will definitely be reaching out to Michele again!”

About: Nothing probably sets me apart from other sitters. I always carry a mini journal and pen around with me to jot down notes or things I need to remember, especially if there are specific instructions, like dietary or playtime needs for pets. I usually am the one who takes my family dog for a walk every day since I'm the only one in my family who has the most amount of free time on their hands. If I ever dog sat for a friend's pet in my home, I usually don't really change my routine but add the necessary care requirements for both dogs. When I'm staying over at a friend's or family member's house while watching their pet, I still do a similar routine when I'm at home, but I stay on high alert and make sure I don't leave snacks or anything I bring anywhere the dog can reach.

“This was the first time we left our two nine months old kittens home alone. It felt so much better knowing that Katie was there twice a day to feed and play with them. She made play forts for them and changed it up daily. She brushed them and gave them treats. Katie was very reliable and trustworthy. We would book with her again. Thanks Katie!”


About: I’m a cat-focused pet sitter who is comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, including shy or nervous cats who need patience and space to warm up. I pay close attention to each cat’s normal routine and behavior. During visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and lots of companionship. I know how important it is for cat parents to feel updated, so I send photo updates after every visit.

About: I’ve never owned a cat as I used to be extremely allergic. As I’ve gotten older and I have multiple friends with cats, I’ve found out I am able to be around cats and love on them with just a daily allergy pill. With that, I’ve come to realize how much I truly enjoy taking care of them.

About: I have owned cats for the past 15 years. I will rephrase that cats have owned me for the past 15 years since cat energy is on a different level haha I can administer medications and will keep the litter box clean. I will provide your kitties with either love and snuggles and/or some respectful space depending on their personality and specific needs.
About: Hello! (Usually available after 5:30 pm during the week days and free on Fridays) My name is Stephane and I'm a project engineer in environmental science. I have had cats since my childhood, a mother, and a daughter I had the chance to live with for 20 years. Today, I have a cat I got from a refuge, called Juno. He was super shy and introverted due to his sad past but I can see a lot of progress in his behavior. He is some work but seeing him getting more and more free makes me happy. I have also always been with dogs and love to take them on walks and play with them. I took care daily of my roommate's dog (Kenny) in Toronto, taking him regularly on walks and dog parks. I live in North Water Street and can drive to your home to take care of your best friend(s). I'm also an aquarist and can look of your aquatic friends if you need it. I hope to see you soon and your best friend! I always start my day with a hello to Juno :) He usually comes to me claiming food like for having breakfast and we cuddle after. Which is a perfect start for having a good day. I will follow any instructions you give me to keep your pet routine as normal as possible. I will be respectful of your space and will always ensure that everything is closed and safe for your pet. I can send you updates with photos if you need them.

“Yshonda was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were a bit nervous because we have two fur babies with two different personalities and unique needs and Yshonda was very accommodating and flexible and was able to set our minds at ease. The babies are comfortable with her and seem to really enjoy her company. She’s friendly, personable and obviously loves dogs. She’s an amazing sitter and I would recommend her to anyone especially people who have never tried a dog sitter before. Check her out!”

About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.

“Dan didn't mind my early drop off and definitely spoiled my puppy. He sent lots of pictures and gave great updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

“Miranda is the best. She takes such good care of our people-shy dog. She was patient with him and let him warm up to her on his own, and now he loves going to her house...full on butt wiggles when he makes his way over to her. It gives us great piece of mind to know that he’s so well taken care of.”
“Jill was able to accommodate our request rather last minute and was communicative throughout. She gave our senior dog a wonderful day of companionship; we know she was well cared for and left very happy.”

“Friendly, flexible, and most importantly my little dog seems super happy and worn out after spending the day playing with theirs! Seems like a safe and fun fit for my fur child and will continue to rebook!”

About: For over forty years we’ve always had dogs in our home. We have a sweet pitbull mix that we adopted last year. She came from a home with several dogs so she loves to meet and make new friends. We enjoy providing a good home to animals and we look forward to caring for your pets. Potty breaks can be provided every two hours. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to run, play fetch, or explore in our fenced backyard. We try to follow the same routine as you would for your pet at home. We only care for two dogs at a time as we have a dog of our own. The dogs have free run of the house if the owner doesn’t specify otherwise.
“Our dog had an awesome day with Louise! She was great with little Stuart and so easy to work with for us. She accommodated a long day with our schedules and is so kind. She gave our dog personal care and very loving for our needy little puppy. We plan to book with Louise again, can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats going back to childhood. I have been actively pet sitting for 5+ years and have experience with puppies and kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I have also cared for rabbits and am very flexible and willing to learn! I am a teacher, so I am free most of the summer to watch your pet and give them some love! September -May I am still available but with less flexibility I enjoy drop ins and walks so I can give pets attention and care while in their own comfortable environment. I can also watch dogs at my home for those who need overnight visits, but dogs MUST be cat friendly/neutral without history of chasing cats
“Kait and Zelda have taken care of Joker like one more in the house. Joker has felt very comfortable with them and have enjoyed their company so much. I really appreciate all the pictures during the day and your kindness to us. We will keep Kait for future needs.”

About: I love any type of dog, any type of dog is welcome in my home for caring, people I know describe me as a nice loving person . I work from home on my own time, I am self employed, dog sitting will fit in my schedule routine just perfectly right to welcome any dog. Anything the owner does for the care of there dog fits right in with me, communication on how you would like for me to take care of your dog is the key, I would love for your dog to feel right at home .
“Alexandrea took great care of my 12 week old puppy Driggs. 😊 She sent me lots of photos of Driggs and kept me updated on how he was doing. She also watched him back to back last minute and I appreciated her willingness to do so! I will definitely be using her again and totally recommend her!”

“I really love holly and so does my phoebe baby! Holly genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of and is always always willing to go above and beyond expectations. She will squeeze us in last minute if needed and phoebe always comes home happy and worn out! Most of the time phoebe doesn’t wanna leave after her days with holly. I will be a long time customer of hers and I appreciate everything she does for us!”
“Luscely was available last minute and didn't make me jump through hoops to dogsit. She was communicative, fair, and my dog was happy. I will absolutely use her again!”

“Amazing communication and pictures throughout. Soba had such a great time hanging out with Tracie and Penny! She was totally pooped from all the fun we had by the time we got home. Would definitely bring soba back without hesitation.”


About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, I now live in a home with a nice backyard. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.
“Adrienne was an amazing dog walker! I was 8 months pregnant and really needed someone reliable and patient to walk Kiara, who is a high anxiety dog upon meeting new folks making her very shy and skeptical. Adrienne was patient and Kiara quickly grew to love her walks and play time with her. I am so appreciative of the care we got at this time when my physical abilities were so limited 💕”

“Vanessa has been walking my dog regularly for several weeks now and I couldn’t be happier with her help. She’s been very patient and loving with my dog, flexible on the schedule, and provides great walk reports and pictures. Thanks, Vanessa!”

About: I have a way with animals. Pets that don't like people typically tend to be my best friends. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My goal is to be friends with every animal I meet. You have fun and I will make sure your pet does as well. I work full time in sales, so I am quite flexible. I can typically work my schedule to fit around what I need to do. I am happy to drop in and hung out with your pet while you are away. I love to go for walks, so I will be happy to tire a pet out with some good walk time.
“Thank you for the short notice walks, you have been great and it was so nice to get updates on Gus throughout his walk. Thanks again and I look forward to booking with you again!!!!”

“Julie was great with my elderly dog! She was kind and personable and always cheerful! I appreciated her taking such good care of Rogue and walking her in treacherous conditions like ice and snow! I’d definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”

I usually am the one who takes my family dog for a walk every day since I'm the only one in my family who has the most amount of free time on their hands.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs of many different breeds, and loved them all. Let me help out with your pet and they’ll probably like me too! Currently I have sporadic trips planned until I start classes at the end of August, then my availability will greatly differ but I’m not sure of the exact hours. I can’t care for pets in my home due to one of my cats being very unfriendly, but I will take great care in your home if necessary!
About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life, growing up with pets to helping neighbors, family, and friends with pets. I have worked in pet stores and vet clinics and lots of pet sitting! I work at a school part time and I am looking for a side hustle that I will enjoy and love during the summer while school is out and even when school is back! I am super open for the next month or two! I make sure all the needs given by the owner is done efficiently and thoroughly as well as giving the love and affection needed for the pet!
“Mary has been so helpful and supportive the last two weeks. I had a couple of deaths in my family and Mary was able to walk my dog and check in on her when I had to fly home for a funeral. She’s so sweet and thoughtful and it was so great to know my pup was being so well taken care of! She’s the best ❤️”

About: My children and I love dogs! I have been around dogs my entire life. I had a dog growing up who I adored. She was part of our family so I do understand how important it is that you feel comfortable with your dog sitter while you are away. I live in West Allis in a 3 bedroom townhouse with a decent size unfenced front yard and several parks in the neighborhood that we go to often. I would love to provide a caring environment for your dog. I offer overnight stays in my home, drop in visits, and dog walking services. I am more than happy to send daily photos, text updates, or phone calls regarding your furry family member's care. Look forward to meeting you and your pet.

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.
About: Happy to have walked and worked with many animals and breeds of dogs in day care and hospital settings. Excited to walk and work with many more. I am currently available to work with pets Monday to Sunday during the day and possibly nights if needed. Schedule as needed I am able to help. I have no other pets in home currently ensuring that all focus is on your pet. Daily walks and feeding as instructed will be guaranteed.
About: I am new to Rover and looking forward to providing the best care for your loved one. I have worked with dogs through shelters and personal pet sitting for family and friends. I am new to Rover and work part-time with animals. I am available for pet sitting, walks and drop-ins during the weekends all day and with some flexibility during weekdays. We can discuss boarding on a case by case basis. I will follow the owner's guidelines and treat your house and pets with respect. I use a common sense approach to safety and will stay vigilante when spending time with your loved one. I believe in clear communication and am happy to update you as much as needed. Thank you allowing me to help relieve some of the petcare duties for your dog or cat. My personal goal is to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away!
“Hailey is a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to communication and adeptly rolls with the unique dynamic between my 6 year old and 6 month old dogs. She follows instructions to a tee and gives the dogs awesome belly rubs. Thank you, Hailey!”

About: I do part time senior Care and some of my clients have animals I find it very important that they are well taken care of and happy as they bring a lot of comfort to my clients when I'm away This means plenty of walks up and down hills going out and sitting on the grass at live music shows and tons of interactions with other dogs while we shop for groceries downtown Food schedules almost go hand in hand when Im meal prepping for my human clients We've invented a few new games with my one clients and her lab misty Her favorite being the wagon tire I attacted to a bind of cordage and a spring up in a tree limb misty loves to jump and snatch the tire while it bounces around Well I love to work out throughout the week and on weekends I would normally go for small hikes woth my friend but she has developed a respiratory issue and can no longer do so I find it would be amazing to get some energy out with so eager to run and play dogs I monitor a lot of potential puppy problems as I call them after all big dogs share a lot in common with toddlers you have to make sure that they arnt biting scratching chewing or marking any beloved items or areas in the house Getting sufficient exercise helps stimulate the dog's and corner these bad behaviors Plenty of treats and positive reinforcement goes a long way as well
“Liz is a great communicator and it was clear the first time we met that she knows a lot about dogs. Liz has been great so far with our pup and are glad Liz now is a regular part of our schedule!”

About: My name is Karina and I've owned and cared for cats my entire life. While I've always wanted to add a dog into my family, my father is allergic. However, I never resist mingling with dogs whenever I can! I'm very experienced with caring for cats, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, etc. I am so open to home visits to check in on dogs as well as walk them. Outside of animals, I'm a pharmacist! Additionally, I love to travel, go to new restaurants, and cozy up with a good book. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! I do work full time (~ 11 hour shifts) so an animal who would need 24/7 care may not be the most ideal for my schedule, however I do have consecutive days off pretty frequently. I will listen to you and your wants/needs and how you care for your animals. I know some owners love to keep their dogs in the crate when they're away, and I would do the same.
About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to take care of your pets while you’re away or even just gone for the day at work. Our pets are the whole world to us so it’s important you find someone you trust. I hope that once you get to know me I can be that person for you! I have over 13 years experience as I have been around animals my whole life. I love learning their little personalities the things they love whether it’s going for a walk and they have a specific fire hydrant they always stop at or a specific toy at home they always love to play with. Currently I have a cat named Stella who has provided me lots of experience in anxious cats as well as in tricks on giving medication. I am currently a substitute teacher with the summer off so I can provide pop in visits throughout the week as well as the weekends! Safety of pets is my number one priority with your pets as well as my own. I will always care for your pet like they are my own when I am with them to ensure they have adequate care. I will get to know your pet and notice when things may seem off if they aren’t feeling well. I also maintain safety when walking with your pet and making sure to learn their temperament before walks as well.

“Marilynn is THE BEST! Super loving and accommodating to our two dogs. She set pictures and updates to us daily, and included a sweet little note in their things for us to read when we picked them up. If Marilynn would take our somewhat grumpy old guy and our high octane little girl again, we would love it!”

“Ashlee is amazing with Bosco and sends us pictures of him playing with all his new friends! Hes always so excited when he first sees her which makes leaving him a little bit easier ☺️”

“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”


“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”


“Daniel did a great job with watching the pups. He sent nice updates and pictures. I would highly recommend him to watch any dogs and will definitely use him again when I am in need for someone to take great care of my dogs.”
“As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....”

“Becky is the absolute best! I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars for her. Our older dog got sick while staying with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of, even offering to take him to the vet while we were away on vacation. She gave us lots of updates to let us know how he was doing; communication was great. She told us when we first met that when dogs stay with her, she treats them like part of her family, and she showed us that she really means it.”

“This is Bud's home away from home (my husband calls Mary's home Bud's 'vacation home'. We feel so good about Bud staying here, he's so well taken care of, and he has lots of fun playing with his best friend Matteo! Thank you, once again, for taking such good care of our baby boy Bud!”

“Tyler and Milo were an awesome fit. I appreciated the check ins which game me peace of mind that Milo was taken care of and happy in a new environment. He had plenty of space to run around and new people to cuddle with. I will definitely be happy to work with Tyler in the future!”

“I was nervous leaving my boys in someone else's home. From the meet and greet it was obvious that Zach would be a great fit for my boys! He was engaging and they both liked him alot right away. When I dropped them off, they were excited to be there!! Zach was Great with communication, sending a Pic and video answering me quickly. I would definitely recommend Zach!! I will definitely have him watch them again if needed and if he accepted!!”

“Stella stayed with Dawn and her family for a few days. Overall, the stay sounds like it went well. She has a nice fenced yard for her to run and play ball. They communicated and sent pictures and were quick to respond to messages.”
“Debbie was great! She was very on top of things with my pup Reggie. She set up a meet and greet ahead of time to ensure we were both comfortable with Reggie spending the night and it put my mind at ease. I completely trust her to take great care of my pup. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke was top notch! She watched my dog Ned and took him in with open arms. He has epilepsy and requires medication and special needs/attention and I was so impressed with her care for him. He played with her other doggos, got brushed regularly, walked routinely, and he was overall loved at her place. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Brooke :)”

“Joe and Lilly were wonderful! My dog Ruth had a great weekend with them. They were very kind, and accommodating when I had an emergency. Thank you!”

“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”

“We recently left our 5-year-old Golden with Nikki for a week, and she did an absolutely incredible job! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. This was our first time leaving him with someone outside of close family friends, and he had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Nikki with him again in the future! Throughout his stay, Nikki sent multiple updates and photos each day, which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. Basil loved spending time outside in the fenced-in backyard and had a blast snuggling and playing with Nikki’s kids. Thank you so much, Nikki, for taking such amazing care of our boy!”

“Karen and family are just incredible when it comes to taking care of our fur child. Lambeau is pretty spoiled and highly energetic, and Karen totally embraces it. She is super flexible and caring, and we're lucky to have found her!”


“Alyssa is absolutely fantastic! I was kind of worried leaving Maggie with someone i didn't know but after I met her at our meet and greet and toured her house and talked to her I was 100% sure that I had found the person I was absolutely comfortable leaving my Maggie with. She was so genuine and sent me pictures and videos during Maggie's stay. Thank you Alyssa!”

“Jill was very welcoming to my high energy & anxious Dutch Shepherd that has never been boarded. She has a nice house and yard that allowed my dog to comfort and freedom she is used to. Jill spoiled my dog with love & attention she almost wanted to stay with her!! We will definitely use her again. Thanks Jill!!”
