Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. Our dog Marlowe loved being at his house and having other playmates to be around. He communicated concisely and quickly with us. He took fantastic care of our little one and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!

Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!

Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.

Aaren and Jordon are practically family now. This is the second time they have watched my girl and they take the BEST care of her. They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.

Hilary was an excellent choice for our dog while we were out of town. She sent multiple pictures showing his walks and good times that made us smile and remove any fears we had about using this service for the first time. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog any time she is available when we need it. ?

About: I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. I carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. My focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. Pet care is part of my daily life. I’m home throughout the day and organize my schedule around the dogs in my care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. I have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside, I provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. I follow established routines closely, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

Donetta is the absolute best! She provided regular updates with photos over the course of my pup’s stay. She creates an environment that made my pup feel right at home. I could tell that Fiona had a great time because she came home completely exhausted. Donetta was also flexible when I needed to extend the reservation and additional night. Thank you so much. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!

About: I love dogs so much and my experiences with them are endless! I have been around dogs and cats since a young age, senior-puppies-kittens. I have raised and trained a puppy before, dog sat many dogs in the past and have experience administering medication. 🐕 I am majoring in psychology to go into animal behavioral therapy, I’m knowledgeable on animal language and understand their boundaries. So I guarantee I will have your dog/cat feeling safe, loved, and cared for easily! 💛 I am currently free most days if not all of the week. I have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but still may be relatively available these days. The best available times for me for drop-in/day-time care range from 8am-8pm each day. At my home I have a small fenced in backyard and I live in a walkable area nearby a park for walks and zoomies. Indoors or outdoors I will make sure your pet stays safe and entertained. Whether it’s brushies or playtime I can care for them in these ways in your home or in mine. 🐈‍⬛

Joanna was warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with from the start. She’s clearly a dog lover and has two dogs of her own, which made me feel comfortable leaving Rocco in her care. Communication was smooth throughout the stay. Rocco came home healthy, clean, and in good spirits. His personality was the same as usual, and he adjusted back easily. I appreciated the overall experience and would feel comfortable booking with her again.

Jakiya is SO lovely! Jakiya watched our young puppy, which was our first time leaving her. Jakiya was so attentive and very willing to follow all of our very specific puppy needs/details. She was an incredible communicator, sending frequent updates and pictures. Jakiya also went the extra mile for us when we had a last minute flight cancelation, helping us out and re-assuring us without any hesitations! She even went as far as to wash and pack up all of our puppy’s bedding and crate for a speedy hand off at pick up. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be using her again for any future Rover needs!

Lilly took amazing care of our dog Bodi for 6 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us very informed the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bodi was very comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for the attention and love she gave him and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Evie was understanding when we had to cut our trip short, shortening the boarding time needed. She was flexible as I notified her on a daily basis that we would not be starting that day. When we dropped Brady off, we were happy to see that Evie lives in a well kept house in a safe neighborhood. She took really good care of Brady, giving him daily supplements, feeding him twice a day and taking him out for walks and plenty of bathroom breaks. Brady even got along with her friendly dog, named Cupid. She shared photos and a video of them playing. She's among the best boarders we've had on Rover.
