“Where do we begin...this was a hard choice when trying to find someone to watch our fur baby for 6 days. He got to know Barb and a visit to her home for a meet and great. Then another visit for half a day. He was in heaven. Barb sent photos throughout the day. He was in a good mood and not anxious at all. Then we left TicTac in her care for 6 days. So many pictures came to us. He definitely has made new friends and was cared for so well. I highly recommend Barb 🌟”


“I entrusted Noel to take care of my puppy for a week and she’s been very helpful, patient, and communicative! We kept in touch during the time I was away and she shared pictures and videos which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was in great hands! I am extremely appreciative of Noel and how wonderful she has been to both my puppy and I.”


“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”


“We recently left our Cavapoo, Elsa, with Oscar and Gaelle for almost a month, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! This was our first time leaving Elsa with someone else, and they made us feel so at ease. Oscar and Gaelle absolutely spoiled Elsa with toys, attention, and care. They kept us updated with regular videos, and it was clear Elsa was having a great time with plenty of walks and playtime. Elsa also loved the company of their dog, Caline, and it was heartwarming to see them bond. The care and attention they gave Elsa went above and beyond—her fur was beautifully brushed, and they even gave her a shower! We felt completely at peace knowing Elsa was in such loving hands. We would 100% trust them with Elsa again and highly recommend them to any pet parent looking for a reliable and caring boarder. Thank you, Oscar and Gaelle!”


“Jing took incredible care of our dog and kept us updated through texts and photos on how he was doing throughout his stay. Weasley seemed like he was part of the family for the weekend, and we would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting needs!”


“Hong was great with our energetic 14-month old pup, Archie! Hong took Archie for multiple walks in the woods and dog park visits each day, and sent us photos and videos. We could tell that Archie was having a great time, and that the experiences were very enriching. Archie can have anxiety around new people, especially men, but he really seemed to bond to Hong which was great to see. Archie was totally relaxed when we picked him up, and seemed just as happy to stay at Hong’s house as to get in the car. We cannot recommend Hong highly enough!”


“Alix was amazing! She looked after Loki and took care of his special needs, she was friendly and caring. Will definitely seek her again when we need dog sitting support again.”

“Fantastic experience with this Rover. Her attention to detail to make sure our pup was comfortable and happy is exceptional. We received lots of photos, videos and updates, which we always appreciate. When we visit this area again, we will definitely be back.”


“Lauren is great. We found her last minute because our plans had changed, and she just happened to be available. What luck! She is friendly, and she was very welcoming to me and my dog, and truly excited to spend time with our mutt. We only had a short stay (one night), but Lauren sent pics and comments along the way. I would absolutely have Lauren babysit our dog again.”


“Yizi responded quickly when I was looking for a last minute Rover. Her communication was top notch from start to finish. She truly cared about my dog, Chunk, and took excellent care of him. She sent many photos and videos, which helped me feel at ease being away for so long. I would recommend Yizi to anyone looking for a Rover, unless it’s when Chunk needs another visit!”


“Highly recommend! Sunisa was super accommodating and took great care of Koda. I received photos and updates daily, allowing me to have total peace of mind while away. Thank you!”


“Jamie , Kenzie and Nikki were AMAZING taking care of Escarcha. We know that she was completely safe and well fed and they sent us videos and photos of everyone playing with her. Escarcha even warmed up to their dog Sammy although she doesn’t love hanging with other dogs. We highly recommend them!!”


“Tyler was great to Coco! He helped her become part of the pack he was watching and kept me well informed. She was so exhausted after her stay- like she just got back from summer camp!”


“Molly was great, responsive, and cared for Albie very well! I got great pics of him enjoying the park, playing fetch, and lounging on the patio. Your dog will be well cared for!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs professionally and personally for roughly 15 years. I’ve shadowed dog trainers and co-facilitated puppy kindergartens over the years. I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds and temperaments and am committed to ensuring dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for when they are away from their people. I currently work remotely and would love to open my apartment to small/medium dogs. I have a large yard and a lot of flexibility for walks and play time. Whether it's daily walks around the block, hikes, feeding routines, administering pills or eye drops, or just giving some extra love and playtime, I deeply care about learning who your dog is, and what they like and need to feel comfortable and happy.

“Lyv and Alieu were amazing! It was Monty's first Rover experience/first time staying overnight with new people, and he's still adapting to life outside the shelter, so naturally, we were a bit nervous. Lyv was very communicative the entire weekend, and it was very apparent that they have a ton of experience with all types of dogs. Monty is very finicky, and we know he can be a difficult house guest at times, but it was clear that Lyv adapted quickly to his needs and read his emotions very well. Monty had a bit of a tough time one night, but Lyv communicated with me immediately and was so kind and understanding about his less-than-ideal behavior. As a first-time dog mom with an anxious dog who is still exhibiting new behaviors randomly, I really appreciated Lyv's kindness, care, and compassion.”


“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”


About: There hasn’t been a time in my life where I didnt have a furry friend by my side. Growing up with pets has taught me how to properly care for & tend to an animal’s needs. I love being able to match the animal’a energy while also ensuring the safety & health of the pet - that is my main priority. I am new to Rover, but I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends in this new community! I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays, and am available most weekends. Also, after work hours on Mondays through Wednesdays are fairly open as well. If I am unavailable, Sophie works 7am-2pm shifts or 2pm-7pm shifts only. Also, Sophie works weekends occasionally, but she is only a short ways away from the apartment! Our rates are the same as well. I live with my partner (Sophie) and we both have grown up with multiple animals in the home. We provide a very caring and welcoming environment for all animals. My partner and I are extremely gentle and attentive, and we find significant importance in building trust with the pets that we come across. I am willing to provide pet care in clients' homes as well as my partner & I’s space -we would love to have a furry friend in our home! Furthermore, I believe it is extremely essential to communicate with owners, and ask as needed to confirm that I am complying with and following the detailed care instructions. My partner & I want the animals to thrive in a stress-free environment. Also, we prioritize safety by keeping our home free of hazards that we know our furry friends can sometimes get a hold of undoubtedly! Additionally, I make sure to leave other’s homes as clean and organized as I found it, treating the environment with the same care and respect I would my own.

Loren B.
“Loren has looked after my dog, Poppy, many times and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Poppy is a nervous dog who typically takes many visits to warm up to people, but with Loren the connection and trust were immediate. Poppy is so excited every time she sees Loren, and it's equally reassuring how excited Loren is to see Poppy. It's clear how much she loves animals and I can already see the increased confidence in Poppy after the time they have spent together - which is more than I can have anticipated or hoped for. Loren is an amazing sitter, very easy to coordinate with, and I can assure you that your pet will be loved like a friend while in her care.”
