“Vega can’t wait to stay with Kathy and Grahame again! She got lots of outside time and play time and even went on her first run. I know I have nothing to worry about when Vega stays with Kathy.”


“They are really nice, caring people and have the perfect setting to board. My Andrew was very well cared for and loved while I was gone. Would definitely use them again.”


“I had such a great experience with Nechama while she watched my dog for the weekend! She was incredibly sweet, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also super communicative—sending regular updates, photos, and checking in just to let me know how things were going. I could tell my dog was in great hands the entire time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you again!”


“Tara and Peter are amazing. I know this review is late. But better than never. King was pleased with their service and they go way over an beyond to ensure your baby is happy and safe. Thank y’all so very much.”


“We are so thankful to Ashya for taking such wonderful care of London and Ace. The text with photos from her helped me relax and enjoy my weekend, knowing the fur babies were enjoying themselves.”


“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”


“Peaches was an amazing dogsitter! We were out of the country and were so excited to get daily photos and videos of our dog! She truly took in Louie as one of her own, and I will 100% be using her again!”


“Hands down, Kaitlynn has been my favorite Rover Sitter thus far! I have been using Rover for a few years now between my previous dog and my current dog and felt very comfortable with Kaitlynn caring for Luna. She kept me very well updated throughout the stay and even worked with Luna to become better acquainted with other dogs as she knew this is something I was working on with Luna. I highly recommend Kaitlynn and plan to have her care for Luna again”


“Leslie has watched out dog several times now, and the experience has always been wonderful. She is responsive and shares lots of photos/videos, and our Ruthie comes home happy and energized. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and nervous behaviors and it's a huge relief to us that she's in such good hands with Leslie.”


“Susan took great care of our 5 month old poodle while my family was on vacation for a week. She provided frequent updates and pictures of our puppy getting daily exercise, resting, and playing with her dog Frank and her other furry houseguests. My kids loved seeing these updates! I think the time with Susan ended up being a great socialization opportunity for our puppy!”


“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”


“Cynthia was such a great companion for the day for our Havanese puppy! She sent lots of photos and updates of him playing and exploring and kept us informed about how he was doing. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely ask her look after our furry friend again the next time we need to be out for the day or over night. Thanks, Cynthia!”


“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and just recently raised a puppy of my own. He is a very well trained dog, so I have some fresh tips and tricks if needed. I am confident I will take wonderful care of any dog- any size and any age! New to rover but not new to taking care of dogs! I’m currently taking a summer break- I recently finished up a residency and pharmacy degree, so I am looking forward to having some time off this summer. I have a few trips planned, but otherwise I will be home every day to be able to provide the best care for your pups. I have a securely fenced in yard along with a young pup who just turned 1 years old. He is very friendly and would love to have a friend to play with during the day. I also have a cat who mainly just sticks to himself during the day- please no dogs who are not safe around cats.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our dog while we were out of town. Beanie had a great time and definitely will look forward to staying with you again. We appreciated the updates and all of the quick communication. Thank you!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. I love dogs and can’t wait to help you with the care of yours. I can help with basics of feeding walking and care. I am looking for dog walks to help myself get exercise while helping you get your dog exercise! I can help out early morning or evenings. I have an enclosed small yard and access to trails and dog parks. When your dog is with me they are part of my family!!

About: I have found a love of dog care and enrichment while training my Cockalier pup in scent work, dock diving, and tricks! My dog and I love going on daily walks and playing frisbee in the yard, and it would be my pleasure to host your pup! Currently WFH with flexible morning, lunchtime, and evening schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them the exercise and enrichment they need! I have a pet-friendly home and a large yard (although it is not fenced) in a safe neighborhood. I am close to many metroparks and walking trails for daily walks.
