“The best there is!! My babies are so cared for and so loved. Not just by Valerie but also by her family. That’s more than I can wish for when they are in the care of others! ❤️”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”
“Well wut can I say, besides these two were heaven sent, & we dnt play about heaven or Hershee!👀😂 But no seriously, Hershee (our black lab) had just turned 4 yrs old (Aug 21st) the day b4 we found the app & dropped him off to these beautiful folks, Jeremy & Laura (& their sweet sweet little bundle!).. Being that this was our 1st vacay away & Hershee's very 1st time w/out us in his 4 yrs of life, I think it's fair to say we were all a lil nervous at first (especially leaving him w/almost perfect strangers). Except Jeremy & Laura were no strangers at all, not to Hershee anyway! The way they opened their arms, home, & hearts to him, w/zero hesitation! This in fact, helped to lift our reluctant hearts as it pertained to leaving him ANYwhere (as 1st timers we didn't really kno wut to expect). But these two most def put to rest any apprehension we may have had due to our lack of experience w/any app regarding pup sitting. All in all, they kept us updated of his every like & dislike from the jump, only he didn't have any dislikes!😂 Hershee apparently felt right at home the moment the door was opened & he spotted their little one!🫶🏾 It was all giggles & plenty of kisses from that point!☺️ Laura & Jeremy's home was more than welcoming & inviting, which was great bcuz again, Hershee is known to b a bit anxious when it comes to unfamiliar surroundings/ ppl. However, these good ppl were very familiar to him, bcuz I think he seen just that (the good in them!) Thank u Laura & Jeremy for being everything we needed for Hershee over the weekend, & giving us the peace of mind to just BE & just enjoy ourselves while we were away!🫶🏾”
“So so so so good to our sweet boy. It was our first time boarding our Budan and she went above and beyond taking care of him. He got plenty of stimulation running around with her dogs and playing with her family!”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Midge was exhausted!! Ciara was so flexible with my schedule and easy to work with. She sent so many pictures and I could tell Midge was having a great time! My first experience with Rover.com and I would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth and Phillip took great care of Hannah, and kept us informed and up to date with messages and pictures. Would certainly engage their services again!”
“Lori was absolutely amazing! Sammy had so much fun at her house with the other dogs, and she gave him lots of love, treats, and attention. You can tell she is an animal lover! She went above and beyond at pick-up time to accommodate us. We will 100% use Lori again in the future.”
“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”
“We were more than happy with our experience for boarding. You can tell George and Erin really loved on our pets from the pictures we recieved. We didn't feel worried at anytime, which helped us to enjoy our trip even more. I will use them again and definitely recommend.”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“Heather was the best! She sent me so many pictures and videos which made me feel assured that Charlie was well taken care of. And her dog, Remi, is so cute and sweet and playful.”
“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”
“Madison, is a great dog sitter, she was very attentive to my dogs needs, when I picked him up he was very happy and in a good mood. Madison also provided me with daily updates and photos. She also checked in with me if it was okay to take my dog on a hike. He loved hanging out with her. She is a great choice for anyone looking to have their dog cared for.”
“Maxi had a great time with Breanna and her dog Nala! Breanna kept us informed, sending us lots of photos and videos, she took Maxi for walks and played fetch a lot with him! We’ll definitely recommend Breanna!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”

Wow! Such a great experience with Jacqueline! My puppy Dewey loved his experience and I was so impressed with the great care that was provided! It is obvious that Jacqueline is truly a great dog person and the communication was top notch! Loved all the great pictures and feedback! Highly recommend!
Destiny treated my 2 dogs like her own - my nervous 12 year old ate every meal, got his medications, and had a great time. Besides just walking them, they got to go to our dog park. Her photo updates were prefect - I knew they were happy so I could enjoy my vacation.
I just relocated to the area and finding a new dog sitter was a pain point and a top priority after leaving an exceptional one behind. Found Emily through a neighborhood group and was instantly comforted by her kind approach, thoughtful questions and obvious love for animals. Just finished my dog's first visit and it was clear Emily earned his trust almost immediately. Regular updates and flexibility added to the experience. We are thrilled to have found a reliable and committed new sitter in Emily.
Anthony was great! Communicarion was good. He agreed to do a meet and greet before we decided. He was affecionate and engaged with Raven as soon as they met. Raven LOVES meeting new people, so this was great for her. She was with him from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. He sent pics starting soon after dropoff. He answered our questions about how she was doing quickly. We had recently had a Rover visit aith a different sitter where she either had a bad intestinal bug or a severe anxiety reaction. Nothing like that here. She was thrilled to see me when we got back, but is her normal self, not needing to recuperate! Will look forward to using Anthony again.
Leah was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and had such a calm, welcoming demeanor. Her home was very clean and well cared for, and it was clear how much thought and intention she puts into creating a safe, comfortable environment. You can really see how much she cares for the pets in her care. We would absolutely recommend her!
Jaclyn was great with our dog. She was very kind to him and he warmed up to her right away. I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Jaclyn also sent me several updates during his stay which I loved because I could tell he was at ease. I would definitely recommend her.
It's difficult to leave your dogs for nearly two weeks, and with so many sitters to choose from it can be overwhelming trying to figure out the best person to leave them with. If that describes you, then look no farther. You will be hard pressed to find anyone who will love and care for your dogs more than William. Within minutes at our meet & greet, we knew that we wanted William to be our sitter. And our dogs and his dogs got along fabulously. We will definitely contact William the next time we need a sitter.
