Erin was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while we were gone. Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!

Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.

Betsy B. was such a great sitter for Sparky. In our meet and greet Betsy made sure that she asked great questions to ensure sparky’s care. She took time to get to know sparky and me. During his stay she sent photos and videos and really put me at ease especially since my baby is blind. I will for sure be back for my boarding needs :)

Martha and Eric are truly perfect Rover sitters. They have a fenced in yard, Eric works from home, and you can tell that they both love dogs. Our dog Ruby stayed with them for the first time for five nights. We received regular updates, photos, and videos and knew consistently that she was getting the best care. Ruby had so much fun here we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home with us.

Kevin did an awesome job taking care of my dog Chewbacca. Many pictures were sent and Chewbacca seemed to be very happy and comfortable lounging around on the sofa during his stay. He was well taken care of but we sure missed him during our trip. Thanks Kevin for taking great care of Chewbacca while we were away. Highly recommended and will use Kevin's "rover" services again when needed.

Z is so tired! He came straight home and snuggled in on the couch with me after a night away at Jesika's. She's got an amazing place with a nice, shady, grassy area right out front for taking pups out and she's close to plenty of trails. I'd be more than happy to use her Rover services again.

Deneen successfully administered medicine for an ear infection, which is easier said than done asy dog is incredibly particular and sensitive about his ears. We are very grateful for the care received!

Grace is awesome! We were going out of town for memorial day weekend for a wedding and totally forgot to book a dog sitter until the week before. Woody loved his time with Grace and it’s clear that he was very well taken care of. Grace is awesome at communicating before, during, and after the reservation. she took TONS of photos of Woody throughout the days that he was there and the constant updates from her were so nice and so needed since this was my first time using a dog sitter on rover. i’m such an anxious dog mom but Grace really eased my mind with her updates and photos which i appreciated so much.
