“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”

“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”

“Sarah was very communicative, sending texts and pictures. She gave our dog extra treats and made sure he was eating well. She provided ways to cool down on the hot summer days with baby pools and frozen treats.”

“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”


“Ebony has kept my Carmen TWICE now, and I am late with my review. I love, Love, LOVE Ebony! Anyone that will put up with the LOUD barking of MY dog gets TEN stars I my book. I appreciate that Ebony is so great about sending photo updates, which eases my mind. She honors my requests and gives my Beagle all the love, care and attention I can't when I have to be out of town. I also think she's super in caring for clients because she is a pet owner herself. She will be my dog's sitter forever!”

“Leah was great she send me pictures of Hershey the whole stay and her communication was on point as well. Hershey had 1 accident while he was there. We communicate about what could have made him have an accident and she was just overall great about the whole situation and the whole day.I will book her again whenever”


“I was happy with Stacie watching my dogs, Stacie is nice, and pleasant, my dogs like her as well. Stacie sent me a picture of my dogs at her place. My dogs looked happy.. Thank you Stacie.”

“Tami was absolutely fantastic! It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her all weekend. She updated us with photos and loved our dogs like they were her own! We will definitely be going back to her!”

I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I know every animal and family is unique, so let me know your individual needs and requests and I am happy to accommodate. I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible; I have client appointments every so often but am available most of the time. I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pup(s)! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.
“Gizmo loves come in to stay with Keli and her family. I’m confident that he is well taken care of here and he is always excited when he sees that we are here for a visit”

“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me

“Katie is amazing and super kind. She took great care of our puppy and always kept us updated and sent us pictures everyday. Our dog is not an easy dog to handle but she was very skillful and professional. She’s a dog guru, highly recommend! (:”

“Book with Tina & Bob! This was our first time using rover for our senior cockapoo. She stayed multiple nights with Tina & Bob and they treated her like their own. Their house was beautiful and Grace had the perfect setup. They took such care to the smallest details and kept us informed. They are genuine, good people that are a hidden gem on this app. They are true animal lovers that will love your dog like family. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Tina & Bob!!”

“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”


About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama ,I always made sure to care for and find homes for them while also having our own, I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother. We have a large backyard fenced, covered& partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. I’ve watched big dogs & small dogs although starting off with this app I’m looking to watch small dogs. I take my oldest son to library, we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips, I’m at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom other than eating.
