“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”


“Alan & Luis are always great with Tyson. They welcome him into their home like he was part of their family. They are flexible and I always feel confident Tyson is getting the best care when we are away.”

“Haoran was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Molly and Olive! From start to finish, she went above and beyond with their care. She kept us consistently updated with thoughtful check-ins and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs—Molly and Olive were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved the entire time. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Haoran and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again. Highest recommendation!”

“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”

“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”

“I totally recommend Jersey. She is super attentive to my pancake. She let me know.what was happening & also sent photos. Beyond professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable and safe, leaving pancake in her hands. I will definitely rebook .”

“From the meet and greet we had I knew she would take great care of Ethan while I was away. She was very responsive and so incredibly friendly and seemed to understand his body language. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book with her again!”

“I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.”

“Cooper’s New Favorite Person! Clare is amazing! She was super flexible with our early morning flight schedule, which took so much stress off our trip. She is incredibly loving and attentive, sending us great photo updates that showed Cooper was being totally spoiled. It’s clear he was so well cared for and had the best time. Cooper is already looking forward to his next stay with Clare—highly recommend!”

“Tiffani was amazing with our mini Aussie Ollie. He was able to play with her dog, kids and definitely enjoyed himself. He was smiling and so happy when we picked him up. We were able to enjoy the wedding we were attending knowing he was in great hands with Tiffani. Thank you Tiffani, we really appreciate it!”

“Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.”

“Rumi is our go to every time! Sky loves going to their house and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I can tell he is treated like one of the family and I always feel at peace when he is there. Thank you again Rumi & family for providing such a lovely stay for Sky and being so accommodating 🙏🙏”

“My dog has bad separation anxiety so it’s very hard for me to leave her with anyone, let alone someone new! Janelle was great! She sent me daily updates and pictures and made phoebe feel loved. Soon after I left her there, my worries went away. I will definitely leave her with Janelle again!”

“Le'Andra was so incredible. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous because my dog can be anxious and high energy. But he trusted her instantly and clearly enjoyed his time with her. Le'Andra sent me frequent updates with pictures and videos every day, and it put my mind at ease. I would definitely go with her again, I highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I grew up with dogs-- Freckles, Shadow, Trixie and Coco! Rosie was my first dog on my own -- 13 years together and she recently passed away. I'm looking to fill the gap by taking care of other people's pups. I will treat your dog like my own. I know what it feels like to worry when entrusting the care of your loved one. I love a good snuggle and going for walks, and I will keep you updated with photos while you're away! I work close to my home, so I can go home on lunch for a quick potty break. I like going for walks. I took care of Rosie for 13 years, so I am comfortable with the integration into my life and spending time with a dog at home. What's the point of having a dog if you're not hanging out together? Morning, noon, after work (4:45 p.m.) and before bed -- we go out for potty breaks. We go for a walk and play with toys on the floor together. We can set up a bed and/or crate. I have a crate for medium sized dogs and also doggy steps if needed. I also have a room off the kitchen that could be a hang out area and closed off if that's the kind of set-up your dog is used to. It has slider doors to the back porch (sunshine and a little bit of a view). One door could be closed and then roam between room and kitchen with a doggy/childcare divider on the other end. It just depends on what your dog needs and prefers and we can figure it out together.

“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”

West End dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is my second time booking with Haoran, and she’s officially my go-to sitter! My active pup always has the best time with her, especially since Haoran intentionally plans longer walks and hikes on the weekends. My favorite part is how she makes thoughtful observations about my dog’s likes, dislikes, and behaviors — it truly shows she’s committed to making sure my dog feels comfortable, loved, and has the best experience possible. 10/10 recommend!

Klaudia was wonderful with Dexter! He’s super high-energy, and from the photo and video updates, I could clearly see that he was happy and felt right at home in her care. Klaudia’s two pups welcomed Dexter with open paws. It was so precious to see. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️
