“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Highly recommend! Our shih tzu is adopted from a puppy mill and is a little quirky. He loved Mary and we could tell she took the time to get to know him and make him comfortable! Charlie had a great vacation at Mary’s!”


“We appreciated Nana taking on Mowgli for a few days. She always kept us updated and welcomed Mowgli to her home. I appreciated the pictures and detailed updates throughout his stay. Mowgli was very happy since he got to play a lot and was very well taken care of.”

“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”

“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”

“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“Sarah is the best! She took such great care of my pup while I was on vacation and was super understanding and accommodating when flights delays got me home a day late. Thank you Sarah!”

“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better dogsitter. Reba is our new go-to! She treated our babies like her own, her space is absolutely perfect for dogs, she gave plenty of updates, and our dogs came back to us happy, well-rested, and calm. Couldn’t recommend more! ❤️❤️❤️”


“Leslie is our go-to dog sitter! She always makes sure our little fur baby is well cared for, and she always goes the extra mile to make her comfortable. We get lots of photos, so we always know what’s happening and feel confident that our doggie is in excellent hands.”


“Jennifer was an absolutely amazing boarder for our cat Myko! ?⬛ We have never had to do a long term board before, and never had someone had to keep him at their house with other cats before. Jennifer sent daily messages about Myko and we always knew how he was doing. She was responsive when he needed time away from the other cats (but surprisingly, it was usually the other cats who wanted space from him- haha!), and honest about how he was settling in, which we really appreciated. She ended up keeping him for us for 6 weeks, and we never had to worry about him throughout that time. We also never knew how he’d do with other cats, since we only have a dog, and it was great to know that he enjoyed chasing and snuggling up with other cats. We would definitely recommend Jennifer to our friends or anyone else looking for good cat care. Thank you so much for making what has been a stressful time for us personally so much less so, knowing our little guy was in good hands!”

“Jerry had a great time at Francie's. She was great at keeping me updated and sent lots of pictures. It is great to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby knowing that they will be well cared for.”

“Catherine did a great job at caring for our dog. When we pick him up he’s usually pretty eager to leave, but before we left he had to go over to Catherine and get extra pets from her ? we plan on using her services again.”
“Laronna has taken care of Sadie twice and is really good with her. She sends pictures of how she is doing during her stay. I'm more anxious than Sadie. Thank-you for taking good care of her. Donna C”

“Jordan did a great job with my higher maintenance dogs. She paid close attention to them and addressed a minor behavior concern (dog wasn’t eating) quickly. I highly recommend Jordan!”

“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Academy
Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.

It's very easy to work with Shaina ... we did a quick meet-n-greet before our booking to see that our dogs got along together (they did!) and then left our Jackson for a week-long stay. Jackson was clearly well cared for and had lots of playtime and regular walks. We got regular updates with photos as promised. I'm sure he was sad to leave ... we will book with her again in the future.

Nana took such amazing care of my dog, Ducky, while I traveled for a wedding! She clearly has a passion for the little dogs and brings a ton of expertise in caring for them :) her pom Dan is such a sweet boy as well. She is a great communicator and always updated me with pictures/videos about how my dog was doing. I would 100% use her again!

Our cat and anxious dog had the best stay with Kathryn. My pets loved her immediately and she was extremely kind, professional, and warm. She was detailed oriented and give me great updates throughout the stay. 10000% recommend her!!! One of the best experiences I’ve had with a pet sitter in the past few years!

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!
