“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!”

“I was grateful to find Jill and Sean. They took such good care of my Jasper. They kept me informed of how he was adjusting and heard all the fun he had. They will def be the ones I will contact for our next trip”

“We’ve used a handful of sitters on rover and Angela and Tommy are the best. They have an awesome big yard, playful friendly pups, and give lots of love to our fur baby. Thankful to have a go to home for when we have to travel.”

“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”

“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”

“Katie was so kind and caring with our sweet senior dog! Our dog needs a gentle, patient care giver and Katie was perfect for her. Katie was responsive to our messages and reliable. We will definitely board our dog with Katie again!”

“Christle is actually the best! She was a wonderful communicator and made my dogs feel safe and happy. They were actually sad to leave! I was so nervous to leave my dogs but I’m glad I found someone I can trust to watch them!”

“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.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we had the best experience with Jersey!! We loved the photos and the updates, we knew our pup was in great hands the entire time! Thank you so so much!! 😊😍”

“Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!”
“We had a very good experience leaving our dog with Senada for eight days, our first booking on Rover. She loves dogs and keeps only one dog at a time. Her home is safely arranged for visiting pups and is very well kept. She has a spacious, fenced yard and watches the dog carefully while they're outside. She follows desired schedules for eating and resting. She willingly and regularly took our dog on walks. Lizzie came home relaxed and was well cared for at Senada's. We look forward to boarding Lizzie there again.”

“My family and I take long vacations (1 month) and our usual sitter is not doing this anymore. Tiffany was amazing with our dog Phoebe. She and her family treated her just like part of the family. Tiffany, send me photos and I could tell that our dog was cared and happy. I am very thankful for the love Tiffany and her family gave to Phoebe. I highly recommend her. Phoebe went on daily walks, socialized with other dogs and cats. It was a wonderful experience and we will be bring Phoebe back with Tiffany.”

About: I have taken care of Dogs Cats birds almost every kind of house pet since I was 12. My neighbors would always call me or my siblings to watch their pets feed them bathe them and play with them. I’m currently working part time. I’ll be available to drop visit from 11am and on so I’ll have lots of time to check on your furry ones! I have a huge yard and I used to own a dog myself. I live near a beautiful park where dogs are allowed. My family loves dogs so your fur baby will have overwhelming love. (bring your own crate if possible; if dogs don’t have/had interaction with cat/s)
“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.”

“Anita took care of my two dogs Rylan, a one year old husky mix, and Vandy a 12 year old pitbull this past weekend and honestly they couldn't of been in better hands. I picked them up on Sunday and they didn't even want to leave. They had obviously received so much love and attention and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much Anita!!!”

“Dyan did a fantastic job taking care of my senior deaf terrier mutt. Her dog got along with him so well and he was clearly happy and comfortable there. Dyan communicated with us the whole time we were gone and sent pictures based on our preferences to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She is very responsive to messages and so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend booking with her - I am already rebooking with her”

“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”

“I highly recommend Rumi as a pet sitter! She stayed overnight with my pet, and I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely cared for his comfort and happiness. Rumi sent regular updates and adorable photos, so I knew my pet was happy and well cared for. When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pet was calm and content. I will definitely be booking Rumi again for future pet-sitting needs!”
