“I was so nervous, leaving Bryce was a total stranger. I was a total wreck. Till I met Derrick all my fears went away. I felt like it was too good to be true. I didn't know people like Derek existed. He made me feel as though he could take care of Bryce better than I. So I felt Bryce was in the best possible care, which made me have the best vacation ever? THANK YOU SO MUCH DERRICKDERRICK!!!! LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AGAIN”
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“Ben, Shannon, and the kids are absolutely amazing! We booked them to care for our new puppy while on a family vacation. During our vacation we received news that my wife's Mother was very sick a needed our care. Ben and Shannon were extremely flexible and compassionate. We couldn't have made it through this time without them. We are still using them for day care and overnight care when needed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. They will treat them as their own!”
“Patricia and her family have been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! This was our first time we have ever had to leave our boy and go on a trip where he couldn’t come with us. Patricia has been great with communication since the moment we booked with her. We went to have a meet and greet. She had already read our profile. She made sure to have some of his favorite foods even on the first day for him to enjoy. She kept in regular contact with us and responded very quickly to messages. She sent pictures with regular updates. It was obvious our boy was very well cared for and loved. It was important for me to find someone with the schedule that fit most to what he is used to. Our boy is used to having someone home most of the time. Patricia’s schedule allows that. He was never left alone between Patricia and her sons. They did a fantastic job which definitely helped to ease our anxiety. Our boy was in very good loving hands while we were on our trip. Should we ever need Rover services again we will be repeat customers. Thank you so much to Patricia and her wonderful family!”
About: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and small animals since I was a child. Cats are my favorite! I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals from a single household. Got a dog and a cat? Or 2 cats? I would love to watch them! I work from home and have time to spend with your babies while you’re gone! I also have a small dog and a cat (both male & neutered) who are well socialized, trained, and calm personalities. If your baby wants to play, they’ll have a buddy! If not, they’ll have a quiet room to rest. If you board a dog with me, I’ll walk them and exercise them daily with my dog Rocky (he loves having friends visit!). I have a guest room set up to host pets so they have a quiet space to rest. If you board with me, your pet will be welcome in the common area, but if they want their space, they’ll have it! I also have a fenced in yard and access to a local dog park. I want your babies to feel safe and happy while they’re here.
“Taylor is AWESOME!! He took amazing care of my big girl Hannah while I was out of town, always updating me and me sending pictures! From our initial meeting with him before bringing Hannah by, I knew he was the one for her. His caring and gentle ways and experience with large dogs made this the perfect match. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog with a stranger. Kudos to the Rover app to help me choose the perfect sitter for our golden doodle. We had a meet and greet with Stacey and her dogs the week before we were leaving. Stacey made me feel very comfortable with the surroundings and her schedule for the dogs. She sent pictures and videos every day, which really helped me. Lol. We had a change in our schedule on the way home and Stacey was very flexible with our return time. Our pup had a great time playing with the other dogs and he was happy and very tired when he got home! I think he misses his friends. 😃”
“My girl had a great experience. We had a great meet and greet and communication leading up to the stay was excellent. I was very nervous leaving Aly partly because she’s a year old and “mostly a good puppy” and I didn’t want her to be a problem. Also have never left any of my dogs with someone I didn’t know. Mikaelan was wonderful about responding to all of my “How is she?” texts with updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. By day 2 I was able to relax and I still received daily reports about Aly’s adventures with her temporary humans and new BFFs. Aly came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the care and communication”
“Nicole took great care of our pups during our week long vacation. She provided us updates and pictures to show they were having a great time. What was noticeable during our pickup, when it was time to go, they quickly pulled back to her to say goodbye. That assured me that they were comfortable with Nicole. We look forward to having Nicole board our pups in the future.”
“Very good first impression on Janelle. She has a nice yard for the dogs. She seemed well experienced and knowledgeable with caring for the pups. Also very flexible with a few hour changes. Glad to have found her! Oogi is happy and healthy when we picked him up.”
“Kristynah was amazing as usual with both dogs. Always feel comfortable leaving the pups with her. She goes above and beyond with trimming nails, park visits, lots of walks, and playtime!”
“Benjamin did a great job watching my dog for over a week, and kept me updated throughout her stay. He's flexible, responsive, and super friendly. Highly recommend!”
“We had a last minute trip to San Diego planned and Cynthia was able to watch our precious Benny! She was very communicative and flexible as our plans changed a couple of times. She was so welcoming when we dropped off Benny and we felt at ease. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the day which was great. We would definitely book with Cynthia again!”
“Wowww! Hannah took such great care of our pups. She spoiled them with beach walks, fetch, and salmon skin (which she got our permission for in advance). She was super communicative and we felt confident they were safe and loved the whole trip. Thanks, Hannah! 🫶🫶🐶🐶🦴🦴🐾🐾”

Patty did an amazing job caring for Rusty while I was away. Since he was a stray, he can take a little time to warm up to new people, but Patty and her sons, Joey and Tommy, were all incredibly kind and patient with him. Rusty adjusted quickly and seemed very comfortable with them. He stayed for a week, and they gave him plenty of time to settle in while also spoiling him with treats, attention, and lots of love. Patty kept me updated with multiple messages and photos throughout his stay, which really helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Patty as a dog sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future!

Jessica is amazing. She watched our rescue beagle who can be very anxious. Jessica was very patient accommodating and kept us very informed about Malias days and nights. She sent us tons of pics so we could see our girl was doing great with her. Highly recommend Jessica and hope to use her in the future.
