“Yang has a wonderful caring family that loves animals. My dog can be scared and nervous about new people and other dogs but he loved Yang and her family. Because of my dog’s behavior, she agreed to do a trial stay. I appreciate how Yang kept me updated on how my dog is doing.”
“I can't recommend Luke highly enough. He quickly figured out Beacon's needs, and Beacon seemed comfortable and at home in no time. As a bonus, Luke is incredibly communicative; I received frequent updates, pictures, and stories about what he was up to. I walked away feeling that Beacon was extremely well cared for.”
“Wonderful experience working with Mike. Excellent communication with pictures and reached out with any questions or concerns that he had about the doggies. Poochie and Princess loved playing with his pup! Highly recommend! Thank you Mike, we will definitely see you again!”
About: I’m a dog person! I love meeting new dogs and spending time with them. I’ve taken care of dogs off and on for 20 years (not including my own). I currently have a rat terrier mix - Roxie - who LOVES dog friends and is very playful. I’m a big walker and have experience with dogs on trails as well as in neighborhoods. I’d take care of your dog like my own. Most of my experience is for extended stay house-sitting for families with multiple dogs. I’m not able to have cats in my apartment, but love meeting cats in their own space and would be sure they were well loved and taken care of in your absence. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available most times of the day. I can work around complicated calendars! I have a fenced yard and a VERY friendly rat-terrier mix named Roxie. For house sitting, Roxie can come with me or stay behind, but she’s great with dogs off all sizes and I’m very careful when bringing her into another dog’s space.
“Receba is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of Rosie, sending regular picture updates that put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and she was super flexible when I needed to adjust drop-off times. I highly recommend her—Rosie had a wonderful time!”
“This was our cairn terrier's third stay with Oana and Oliver. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Lizzie with them. They're great communicators, easy to work with and our dog is well cared for while we're away.”
“We are so grateful to March and his family for taking great care of Billie while we were away. March was extremely communicative and it was very clear from his messages and photos that Billie was very well cared for and happy. We’ve already booked him for our next trip!”
“Wagner had a good first stay with Gienna and Maggy. Gienna was great at providing updates with photos during the stay, and we feel very comfortable leaving Wagner for an overnight stay next month.”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Mike! Mike (and his family) are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of Daisy, and she always has the best time with them. Knowing she’s in such a loving and fun environment gives us total peace of mind. Thank you, Mike, for going above and beyond—we’re so grateful! Highly recommend! 🐶✨”
About: Hi neighbor! I’m a teacher but I’ve decided to retire early to move near my daughter and grandkids. I live a pretty calm and stress free life. I have no pets of our own, so if your dogs or cats don’t do well with other pets than we are a perfect fit as they would most likely be the only pets. My building does allows dogs and cats, and we are very close to many places to to for walks. So, whether it’s a weekend getaway, last minute trip or vacation, your pet will have a loving, stress free home while you are away. My five children are all adults now but when they were little we had dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, you name it. We raised them in Brazil and always had a full house. PS: I am not fluent in English but I am very tech savvy. We can easily communicate through Rover app. Im a teacher but decided to retire early to be near my daughter and grandkids. I’m available almost everyday and weekends. I like to walk by the lake near my home, so it will be a pleasure to take your friend for walks with me. We have no pets, so we can board or have your dog/cat for the day and/or nights. If your pet likes to be the only one, then we are perfect for him/her.
“Fernanda was absolutely amazing with our puppy Henley! She sent daily updates and photos, took Henley on walks and even a hike, and made sure she got plenty of playtime with her sweet dog, Sophie. It was clear Fernanda cared for Henley like she was her own. Henley came home happy, loved, and totally exhausted from all the fun! I will absolutely be using Fernanda again in the future and I know Henley will love her future visits !”
“Chanel was amazing!!!!! Max definitely was very spoil and I loved that so much! She was always giving me updates with pictures and texts! She is just amazing! Max is definitely going back to her house! Thank you Chanel! ??”
“Our dog Zuko is always so excited to see Martha, and Martha is communicative and very sweet. He is clearly well taken cared of by her. Grateful Martha was able to watch him!!”
“Séamus took wonderful care of Maybelle during our extended time away! He was very friendly and responsive and sent daily updates, photos and videos. I could tell that Maybelle was being treated very well - like part of the family. It set my mind at ease. She also got along well with Séamus' dog. We would definitely love to book with Séamus again in the future!”
“We left Leo with Nikki because we had a wedding to attend around the area. Nikki was really flexible when scheduling the first meeting for the pups and really communicative throughout the whole process. Once we got there she was really nice, she let Leo sniff around and get acquainted to her place. She also has a nice fenced large back yard for the dogs to play. She also asked for any specific information regarding Leo such as dinner time, potty times or any special requests. Once we dropped Leo, she sent pictures frequently of him running around and having so much fun. He is a bit of an anxious dog (with an anxious mom haha) so seeing him enjoying himself was a big relief! We're very happy with how the day went and if we lived around the area we would definitely book her services again!”
“Lori was great! This was my first time leaving my pup and she made it a great experience! Lori was great with the dogs, has a fenced in yard and sent me videos of my pup playing and having a blast! I’ll be sure to use Lori again!”
“Rob is excellent with our older dog. We always feel comfortable leaving her with Rob even though she's on lots of meds because we know she's well cared for with him and his family.”

Annmarie M.
“I highly recommend Annmarie as a dog walker and sitter. She took excellent care of my senior dog, Moose, both on daily walks and while I was away traveling. Moose could be a bit particular in his older age, but Annmarie was always patient, attentive, and gentle with him. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in her care. I'm adopting a new dog next month, and Annmarie was the first person I contacted to help with walks. I trust her completely and know she'll be just as wonderful with Willa as she was with Moose.”
