We’ve used both the doggy daycare and long term boarding options with this service. I appreciated Scott took the time to get to know Missy’s background before our trip. Scott and Brinley took excellent care of our shy little girl. In no time she was playing confidently in the backyard and making new dog friends. We got lots of photos and updates along the way. She might have had a better vacation than her humans - thanks again!

Duncan had so much fun during his stay at Justin's, judging by the looks of the pictures that were sent and the fact he slept all day after he came home. Communication was great and was very responsive. Will book again!

I cannot say enough good things about Jessica! She has been wonderful to work with. Carl absolutely loves her. He’s always so excited to hang out with Jessica and family. I have to travel a lot for work, and I have never felt uneasy leaving Carl with Jessica. I am forever thankful to have found such an awesome sitter and friend for Carl.

Taitum was the perfect sitter for my Svenny! She sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend which gave me such a peace of mind! Sven came home tired and happy so I know he was well taken care of all weekend. Taitum’s puppy was the perfect play mate for Sven as well!

Ginny welcomed my feisty little rescue fella with open arms. He found doggie friends and cuddled up with the family. She sent me pictures often of these cozy activities. My Wilbur came home missing his friends you can be sure. I will be looking to Ginny as a go to pup nanny and would highly recommend her to anyone who asks.

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.

Ashley and Oziel did an amazing job watching my dog Maddox. It was my first time issuing rover and they made me super comfortable with it. They sent lots of updates and Maddox had a great time. Definitely will use them again!

They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!

Ashly took great care of my Golden overnite. My baby came back happy, and even ate her food, which often doesn't happen when she is away from me. Thanks Ashly!

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

This was my first time ever boarding a dog, and the first time I was apart from my puppy, Lucy. Sammy did an amazing job of putting my mind at ease and making me feel comfortable before and all throughout her stay! I especially loved the daily pictures I received from her! I already have Sammy booked for my next trip — I definitely recommend!

Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.

This man is a godsend. My original plans fell through for my dog sitting 5 days before I was leaving for a week long cruise. I joined Rover and found Dre. During our initial meet, my dog went to him, which eased my mind but I was still pretty nervous as my dog and haven’t been apart for more than a day or two, ever. Then the amazing-ness started happening. Dre sent me pic, videos and updates my entire trip! It was so nice to be able to enjoy my trip, worry free, AND seeing my dog happy and playing. There’s not anyone I would recommend at anything more than Dre being your next dog sitter. 10 out of 5 stars! Thank you Dre!
