“Mary did a great job with Hudson! He is shy at first but warmed up to her really nicely! She is always very responsive and accommodating. Will be contacting Mary in the future when we need more help with him!”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter I've ever met! She cared for my furry kids like they were her own. She sent daily updates and pictures. I could tell they were happy and comfortable. I didn't worry at all while I was gone because I knew they were in great hands. I'm so thankful I thought of rover.com and found Jennifer!”
“Julie was nice and helpful, had no issues at all, Jacob was very relaxed when i picked him up, which is a great indicator that he was relaxed with julie”
“Paula is truly the best! She cared for my senior pup as if she was her own and always went above and beyond. I never had to worry, Bella was always in great hands. I’m so thankful I found Paula during my time in St. Louis. We’ll miss her so much!!”
“This is the 3rd time Sarah has watched our dog, Groot. She is fantastic and we can tell Groot loves it there and loves playing with her dog. We will continue to use her any time we need someone to watch him.”
“Reba treated our dog like her own. She sent frequent updates and you could tell the care she was providing is top notch. We are so glad we have found her to take care of our pup! She had an absolute blast and cannot wait to go back for more play time!”
“Misty was great. Very willing to accommodate any special needs or scheduling. Very flexible. We received updates with photos and it seemed our dog was very well taken care of. Will be using again for sure.”
“We had the best experience with Mandy! Our pups had the best time, and she was so great about keeping us updated and sending pics/videos. It was such a wonderful peace of mind to be able to be on vacation with my family and not have to worry about my fur babies! I have no doubt that they were well cared for and loved. They also had fun playing with her fur baby and cannot wait to go back!”
“Our new rescue dog Blue was happy to see us when we returned from a long weekend trip and she was content as can be. She’s a 16 year old senior who has had a rough couple of months of abandonment. We are so relieved that she was ok with another transition so soon after she came to us. Stephanie really knows dogs and made Blue feel safe and secure. We'll call on her again for sure.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! I needed a last-minute place for my Husky for an extended trip, and Marie was everything my little guy needed and more. She sent photos daily and made the entire process simple and easy. I'm so grateful to her and her loving family!”
“Catherine is amazing!!!!!!! My baby had a ball she was so tired when we got home. It’s so hard to find people good with bigger dogs. She is our new dog sitter for sure. You won’t be disappointed.”
“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”
“Sophia did such a great job caring for my Franklin. He had the best weekend going for walks and playing fetch in her fenced in yard! Sophia was great with communication and so easy to work with!”
“Francie made the onboarding process, booking and arrangements so easy. She clearly cared about my dog and sent frequent updates on his status (how much fun he was having in her large yard and how many cuddles she was sharing with him). Highly recommended. Thank you, Francie!!!”
“Jeena did a wonderful job taking care of our dog peanut. Giving him plenty of attention and keeping me and my family updated with photos. She met with us prior to the stay and was very kind. Highly recommended.”
Academy dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marissa was great! My Sunshine loved having another pup to play with during her long stay, and I always got updates on how she was doing (especially with things like eating, since she sometimes doesn't eat well in new environments). She got long walks, car rides, pup-cups, the total royal treatment! I would highly recommend Marissa, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.
We boarded our dog with Sarah during our wedding weekend, and we got so many photos the entire weekend. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up, they clearly had a blast! Forever grateful that we could get through the craziness of wedding weekend with the peace of mind that our goofy pup was in such good hands!
Alex is a fantastic sitter and our girl always loves staying with her. She sends us updates and pictures 2-3 times daily. Our dog had a minor medical emergency once while staying with her (through no fault of Alex’s) and she reacted quickly and exactly as we would have which was not just a relief to us but indicative of how much she cares for the pets she’s watching. We would highly recommend Alex!
First time ever using Rover & GLAD I happened to find Charles “Chaz”. He’s conveniently located, great with communication, easy to work with & my furbaby had a BLAST with him & Stellla!!!! I’ll mos definitely be in touch again! If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur bay, Chaz IS the guy!
Chelsey watched our Lab puppy over the holidays and did a great job taking care of her and making sure she got her daily medications. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos! She went above and beyond to help us navigate the pickup situation on the back end, we are truly very appreciative. Would definitely use again!
Kayla recently kept my pup over the Thanksgiving holiday. This was my pups second stay with Kayla and as with the first stay, care was excellent! I can't recommend Kayla enough. Kayla clearly loves animals and treats your pup as you would like him/her treated. Text & photo updates come in frequently and pups come home tired from play & walks. Thanks Kayla.
Sydney was excellent!! This was my first experience using Rover and she made the process very easy!! She was quick to respond and very attentive to our dog, Auggie. She took great care of him while we were overseas for 2 weeks! She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos. I would recommend her to anyone!! ☺️
Julia and Quentin were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Scooby! While I was busy packing and moving to a new apartment, they took such great care of him taking him for lovely walks in Forest Park, sending me regular updates, and sharing the sweetest photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and loved. They’re both so kind, reliable, and clearly love dogs. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters!
