“Can’t say enough great things about how well Briana and Isaiah care for my pup! We love them and fully trust them to care for her when we are away! I never stress if my dog is okay and she’s always happy to see them and happy and healthy when we get her back! You’ll have no regrets leaving your fur babies with them!”


“Jenn & Bob were awesome! First time we used Rover and it was a great experience. I can't say more about how they took care of our dogs while away. We even received report cards on each dog along with daily pictures and updates. We will for sure be using them again!”


“Richard was awesome for my baby Cosmo! He was very attentive when we first arrived and asked a lot of questions and took notes regarding Cosmo. He stayed in contact with me and sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated.

I truly felt comfortable leaving Cosmo with Richard and his wife and will be definitely be using him again!!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over 20 years and have experience with furry, feathery, and scaly creatures of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with puppies and kittens all the way up to senior pets, with and without special needs. I have experience with blind and deaf animals and can administer pet medications. We have a half acre that is fenced in and perfect for your pets to play. I’m a teacher, so during the summers, fall and spring break, and weekends I am home full time. During the school year, I am usually home by 3 p.m. Pets may use crates (collars off) or free-roam in the house depending upon what they are used to at home. I like to keep our rules consistent with what pets are used to at home. I allow our pets on furniture and beds.

“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”

“Erin is the best, I was hesitant to book outside of a pet hotel, and Erin accommodated Cooper as if he was her own, she was extremely flexible when my flight was delayed a day, and even brought my buddy to me, so I wouldn't have to get a pet friendly Uber at 1am.... She will forever be Coopers sitter, if you don't know, now you know, if you want the Best , book with Erin, Thanks again Erin!!!”


“Camille and her wife are wonderful wonderful people! They took such good care of our little Tommy! He was clearly spoiled just like at home. She did an amazing job of sending us regular updates and pictures. I am 100% sure I have found the very best doggie sitter on here! Thank you again for taking such great care of him in your home for 10 days. We enjoyed our vacation without having to worry about our puppers! Highly highly recommended!”


“When I picked up my furkids, they went straight to sleep. I guess that is a good indication that they had way too much fun at Tarina’s doggie playhouse. Will definitely be coming back. Tarina agreed to have a meet and greet prior reservation. Thank you, Tarina and Tony.”


“This was the first time we ever had the guys to leave our girl with anyone. The meet & greet went great the day before our scheduled drop off. Our baby took to Alessandra, her husband, and their female dog right away. She loves kids so I knew she would be comfortable with their kids. They sent daily updates along with pictures of Dior. They answered very quickly whenever we reached out. And Dior looked happy and comfortable in the pictures. We will leave our baby with them anytime we need a sitter. They are a great family, and they took care of our baby like she was their own.”


“This was our first experience using Rover, & we couldn’t have been more pleased! They were both so caring & loving to Rocket. They updated regularly on how he was doing & sent plenty of pictures of him throughout the day. Their dog played wonderfully with our very active pup! Lucy was the sweetest companion for Rocket. We are using this family next week for a long trip & I feel so relieved he will be in good hands! Will be using them regularly in the future as well :)”


“Raven has been so accommodating and understanding with our travel needs and last minute changes. Not to mention our dog Waggles love her and her husband and has a new friend (their dog) to play with whenever we're out of town. Thank you raven for making Waggles feel at home when he's away from home.”


“Ms. Takiara was nothing less than perfection….I was in a pinch, and leaving for a trip in less than 24 hours my sitter canceled on me. I contacted Ms. Takiara, explaining the situation I was in, and she immediately responded. She set up a meet and greet and within an hour she met my babies and agreed to take the job. While I was away, Ms. Takiara was very quick to respond to my messages. In addition, she sent pictures daily and let me know everything was going well. Upon my return the O’s were happy and healthy lil O was damn near attached to Ms. Takiara. I would highly recommend 10/10”

Willoughby Woods dog parents share their Rover experiences
Paris is excellent! We book a stay with her for our dog Jasper every time we head out of town. She takes such good care of our boy and it’s like he gets his own vacation with his puppy friends. He comes home happy too. We can’t say enough good things. Thank you Paris!

Briana was wondering with our little Belle she sent updates and pictures. Although Bella was shy becuse she has never been away from us since birth ,they made her feel home. Briana communicated with us about Bella's daily activitie. Thank you for watching our Bella.

Amazing !!!! I can’t thank her enough for agreeing to take Zero on such short notice and on top of everything she was already doing. I knew from the start that Zero was in good hands !! I highly recommend Takiara and will keep in contact for any future boarding or play date needs !! Thank you again so so so much !!

I can’t say enough about Gisel and her family that gave us a warm welcome the moment we connected. At our meet and greet, I knew she was the one to host our #furbaby Cody. Even her children were loving towards him. They are a wonderful family and far exceeded our expectations of caring for our Cody with pics and videos the whole seven days. Our neighbor uses her as well for their Yorkie and are very pleased with the care they’ve received. The bonus for us, she’s a stay at home mom and Cody was not left alone all day. She has small dogs as well and he was able to meet new friends. This was our first time leaving Cody without family and Gisel eased all of my anxiety because of her love for animals. We’ll be using her again soon.😊

Benjamin really saved the day when he agreed to care for our puppy. We had a last minute cancellation and he was able to fit us into his schedule. I appreciated his attentiveness and care for our fur baby. I received daily updates and pictures reassuring us she was being cared for in the best way. Thank you again Benjamin!

Aziah was so thorough in the days leading up to our boys stay, she really made the transition easy for everyone. Aziah gave daily updates including pictures and really cared for Baron and Hutch as if they were her own. My family was able to enjoy our vacation and we can’t thank her enough!

Raven is so awesome! She was the perfect sitter for my anxious dog! He even made doggy friends and is usually super particular about who he associates with. Thank you so much for the communication while we were away and for being the best care giver to my little fluffball!

ROBIN IS LITERALLY MY HERO!!! Not only was she wonderful taking care of my dog, but when I came for pickup, I was hit with a flat tire. Robin did not hesitate to help me--she used her own jack to replace my tire for me. Robin, I am so incredibly grateful to you for your unbelievable kindness. I wish I could give 10 stars!!!
