“Holly was great. We did a quick meet and greet and drop off and pickup were very easy. Her communication was great and she even sent a picture to let us know the dogs were happy! Thanks again”


“Joni has been our preferred pet sitter for over 5 years! She is thoughtful, kind, and loving to our 12 year old Maltese. She does everything in her power to make sure the pets that she cares for feel at home. She regularly sends us updates, photos and videos so we never have to worry while traveling. She is the best!”

“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”

“We feel so grateful to have found Toni! She took amazing care of our 7 month old pup who is currently needing extra care right now. She was very knowledgeable giving him his medication and eye drops and even gave my husband some tips on giving a wiggly pup eye drops. Toni had a special, safe set up for him and kept us updated with pictures and was really easy to communicate with. Toni went above and beyond caring for our puppy, we felt really comfortable leaving him in her care and will definitely use her in the future!”

“Sue was great! She not only took great care of our pups while we were away but was super flexible when we had a scheduling snafu. She kept us updated and our dogs were very happy at her place and hanging out with her dog. We definitely recommend Sue and will be sending our dogs on “vacation” with her again next time we go away!”

“We had such a positive experience with Victoria! She went above and beyond with communication throughout Charlie’s stay and when Charlie wasn’t seeming to be feeling good, she reached out to let us know and even took her to the vet for us. She was able to care for Charlie, provide her with her medication for what turned out to be a double ear infection and when I picked her up, she seemed very understanding of the medications purpose and dosing instructions. Best dog sitter we have ever had, hands down! We will definitely be contacting Victoria again for our next trip away!”

About: Hello! I’m a passionate, aspiring dog trainer with a special love for German Shepherds. I recently raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of critical socialization. That experience sparked a stronger interest in training and caring for dogs during their most impressionable stages and beyond. I’m currently expanding my hands-on experience and would love the opportunity to care for your dog—whether it’s through boarding, walks, or helping with basic training and structure. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each dog’s unique needs. Whether you have a playful pup or a more mature dog, I’m here to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. Let’s give your dog a happy, enriching experience! I’m currently doing pet care full time with aspirations of starting my very own dog training program one day. I’m soaking up all of the experience I can get right now. My backyard is secured by a 6ft wooden privacy fence and features a 900sqft barn which has multiple crates for dogs of all sizes. My house is dog friendly as well being completely puppy proofed.
About: I’ve owned different breeds of dogs my whole life, I am also a sitter for my mother in law who breeds and boards dogs occasional. I work from home, I have plenty of time to play with the animals! With feeding, potty times as needed, and water at all times. Must be crate trained for the night time hours, during the day the animal will be out of the cage. I have a Doberman pincher.
“Paige and Kellie recently watched my Bernese Mountain Dog, I'm so happy to have found them and already planning my girl's next stay with them! It was my first time using rover and first time boarding my dog so I was pretty nervous but felt so much better just after our meet and greet. They were both so sweet, have a nice fenced in yard for the pups to run and play, and 3 of their own well loved dogs as well that mine became besties with. They sent photo updates throughout the weekend that looked like my girl was having a blast - I was worried she wouldn't want to come home when I picked her up!”


“Jolynn is amazing! I’m never this comfortable leaving my precious Minnie with anyone new, but from the moment I met Jolynn, I was instantly at ease! When I picked my pup up, I could tell that she was happy and well taken care of! I will use Jolynn again!”

“Mandy was excellent to work with. Our meet and greet went was easy to schedule and set up and then the booking went smoothly from there. When we dropped Dexie off her family was able to engage with him and help keep him happy. We appreciated her communication and the care she gave Dexie throughout his stay with her!”
