“Great pack experience in an unleashed farm setting! Tom sent us daily photos and videos which is very reassuring during our two week trip. When we returned, Max was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommended! Thanks again Tom! Until the next time!”


“Rajrupa and her family are so wonderful! This is my second time boarding my dog with her, and he ran in the house like he knew what’s up. All the dogs look like they’re having the time of their lives. We got daily picture updates that my son loves. She is my go-to person for my dog. ❤️”


“I can’t recommend Jessica enough! She took such perfect care of our boy and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will be going back to Jessica every time we need a sitter!”


“Sterlin took great care of our tiny chihuahua. She kept us informed with pictures and videos and even had him sit for a picture w the Easter bunny. 😆. We will def be booking again - thanks sterlin!”


“Capri is an awesome sitter. Sasha had a 4day 3night stay and we only have good things to say. She has a large fenced in back yard and provided us daily pics and short video updates. Will book again.”


About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I grew up with small pocket pets (rabbits) and birds. As an adult I have dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and alpacas - all of which live with me on my small farm. I have experience with giant breed dogs and higher energy dogs. I also know how and am comfortable giving medications. I have worked in the animal industry for the last 10 years. Ranging from boarding facilities for dogs and cats to veterinary offices. I also am currently volunteering with my therapy dog and we visit hospitals and schools. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so my pets are with me all day. I take the dogs out for daily walks as well as other activities. I also have a large fenced in backyard for them to play in. I have a 1-acre fenced in yard for my babies (and yours!) to play in. All of my dogs are friendly and love to play with new friends. I also have cats (strictly indoor), horses, alpacas, and chickens on the property. New friends must be good with all animals as well as children if they are staying in the house. Children and other pets will never be left unsupervised with your fur baby. If I come to your home for care for your fur baby they will be spoiled with lots of attention and love

“Bear stayed with Michael for over a week and he had a great time. Michael sent us photos throughout the stay and kept us updated. Trustworthy dog sitter and great home to leave your dog!”


“Callie loved her stay with Kristen! Kristen provided a safe and welcoming environment for my sometimes nervous little dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and updates on our sweet girl. We highly recommend Kristen if you’re ever in the area and need someone to look after your furry little buddies. Thank you, Kristen!”


“We attended a wedding over a weekend and Katherine and John were so welcoming to Zoey! We contacted them for a meet and greet and they were very agreeable. They were accomadating to our quirky schedule and very easy to work with. Zoey had a fantastic time at their home and we enjoyed the photos and updates sent to us . This was our first Rover experience and I’d say it was a success and hope to use Katherine and John again in the near future”


“Jenny is fantastic!! Her home is a dog’s paradise with a loving family and playful environment. Phoebe will be back and we won’t worry for a second about the care she receives while we’re gone.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Chelsea. Usually My mother in law comes and stays at our house to watch our dogs while we’re away. This year we were all going to be away at the same time and I didn’t know if I would find someone I trusted to watch my dogs. I found Chelsea through Rover.com and reached out to her for a meet and greet with my 2 dogs (a Golden Ret. & a Dachshund mix) before deciding to schedule with her. She was friendly and good with my dogs but not all over them as it was the first meeting in a place new to my animals. Chelsea’s parents are there as well. They were kind and friendly but it was clear that while they are around Chelsea is the one in charge of the dogs. While we were away Chelsea reached out every morning always letting me know how the dogs were doing and sending pictures. Later in the afternoon I would get another update and often a picture of some adventure throughout the day (if you know my dogs, the “adventures” were extremely low key). I kissed my dogs while we were away but I like to think they had a vacation of their own at Chelsea’s house. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Chelsea to watch your dogs when you’re away. She was really incredible and I’m so thankful I was able to find such a fabulous person (& Family) to take care of my beloved dogs while we were away. We will definitely be asking Chelsea to watch our dogs again when we’re away.”


“Jared was superb! He took our dog to the beach! And, we got photos everyday. Communication was speedy and he was flexible with sorting out pick up and drop off times.”


“I’m so happy that my Millie and I found Marci! First of all, Marci responded to my request almost immediately. Second, her communication up until drop off and then during Millie’s 2-night stay was exceptional. It was the first time my dog had spent a night away from me (she is 5) so I was a bit nervous. Marci sent pictures throughout the day and let me know exactly how Millie was doing. My dog looked so happy and content running in the yard and snuggling inside their home. I’m grateful to have found a wonderful family with a sweet little dog of their own. Will definitely be re-booking!”



“Paola and her husband were the absolute best for when I had to leave Max for a few days for a work trip. She sent photos and videos and my little guy had so much fun during his “vacation”. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I found Paola! Max had plenty of playtime, time outside in their fenced yard, as well as snuggles and belly rubs. She truly loves your pup like they are her own :) the next time I have a trip I know exactly who I’ll be calling! Thanks again, Paola - Max loves you!”


“Sarah was amazing and took great care of our dog, Ripley, while we were spending a weekend on LBI. She was super accommodating in scheduling the meet and greet, drop-off, and pick-up times. She was a also very responsive on the app and sent updates on how Ripley was doing throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and will reach out if we're ever in LBI again.”


“Jouseline was great my pup stayed for a week and was super happy he was in good hands. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which I was appreciative of. She was just a sweet person overall showing where my pup would sleep and play. Definitely will book again.”

“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
