“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”
“Fantastic caretaker for Suki! Sent us consistent updates and made sure to play with her a lot. Easily the most comfortable she has seemed in anyones place that we have chosen through Rover. Also bonus points for being Persian! ❤️”
“Gail’s home is ideal for a home away from home. There is a big backyard and a doggy door that allows for in and out access. Gail treated my dog like hers, she is very accommodating, detail oriented, organized, flexible, and kind. I would highly recommend.”
“Elijah is totally on top of it- starting with a meet and greet, so I felt completely comfortable leaving Harry with him. Harry loves Zee Zee and was so happy to see her when I dropped him off. I know he was well taken care of, and he was a very happy boy when we picked him up! We’ll definitely check with Elijah anytime we need someone for Harry.”
“Anna was the perfect person to watch my pup while I was gone. She gave me thoughtful feedback and photo updates throughout the week. I could tell in photos and when I picked up my dog, Luna m, that she had a great experience!”
“Arthur & Tamara were amazing sitters! I received daily photos of my girls. Their dog, Daisy, is so sweet and friendly. They truly brought me peace during my trip knowing my girls were cared for.”
“Patches is by far the best dog-sitter we’ve ever had. She obviously loves animals but she also took the time to reassure us by sending updates and pictures without us even asking. Drop-off and pick-up was a breeze. But, best of all, we could tell our pup was really happy, which made it so much easier to have to be away from him. Thank you, Patches! We’ll be using you again!”
“Marissa is amazing and took such wonderful care of our little Uchi! It was our first time having someone outside of our family and friends care for him and we could not have been happier. Lots of pictures and updates and overall an amazing, seamless experience!”
“Madeline was so sweet with Lucy! She was quick to answer messages and sent photos and updates while I was out of town. I would absolutely reach out to her in the future!”
“I’m so incredibly grateful for Lauren. She’s perfect as always! She takes great care of my dog and always sends the cutest photos. I never have to worry when I’m away on vacation knowing my pup is with her. Thank you again, Lauren!”
“I could not be happier with Stephanie and Glenn watching my dog, Wallace. They loved him like one of their own and made sure to give me constant updates on how he was doing. And he loved every second. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Sarah has watched Lulu 5 times and she has been fantastic each time. She has been responsive and always gives Lulu lots of love and hugs. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Savannah & Gabriel took good care of Abby, my 3-month old puppy, for about 7 hours while I went to the UT football game. They are a sweet couple, their apartment is immaculate, & Abby seemed relaxed & happy when I picked her up. I was also happy that they only had one pet of their own, another little shih tzu like Abby. I appreciated the pictures of Abby they sent. I also liked that they had puppy supplies (play pen, pads, beds, etc). All in all it was a very good experience.”
“We had an amazing experience getting a last minute booking with Lily. She quickly arranged for a meet and greet for Goose and sent pics during his entire stay. Looking forward to booking her again asap!”
About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!
“Nancy was great! She had dependable communication, daily pics/videos, and the drop off/pick ups were flawless. Can’t recommend her enough. The dogs were tuckered after spending a week with her and appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Lily is so wonderful, loves our girl, super communicative and we always feel like Emmy is in the best hands. We’ll absolutely work with Lily again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog lover!”

West Gate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nathalya was amazing! She watched our 6 month old puppy that had recently injured her leg - she followed all of the care instructions provided by our vet and made sure that our puppy was comfortable and happy. She was very communicative and we will hopefully utilize her in the future!
Audrey is THE BEST. Not only did she make sure that Barnaby had a safe place to stay and lots of outside fun time, but she was training him!!! So happy we found her, absolute professional, kept us informed and Barnaby has such a great time. Will be booking again when we go out of town and bringing Barnaby to the doggie day care a few times a month to keep up that pack mentality.
I’ve booked with Rachel and Justin multiple times and they are fantastic! They treat my dog like family and always keep me updated with texts and pictures throughout the day. My dog is always excited when we pull up to their house, which gives me total peace of mind knowing she’s in such great hands. Highly recommend!
Daniela was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Oscar, during the week she cared for him. She not only gave him plenty of love and attention, but also went above and beyond treating a hot spot he had, making sure he was comfortable and healing well. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care, and I could tell he was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Highly recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!
