“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”


“Nana was amazing! I got updates and pictures every morning. She followed all instructions to a tee. And she cared for my pup like he was her own. There was a minor medical problem that cropped up that she handled amazingly. I will definitely use her again!”

“Mary was so accommodating with our nervous pup. We were traveling from out of town - she was very flexible and sent us updates and photos. I wish we lived nearby so our dog could stay with her again!”

“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!”

“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”

“Lucy was fantastic! From the start, her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout my dog's stay with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. She was clearly experienced, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely confident in her abilities the entire time, which made it much easier to enjoy my trip. I would absolutely book with Lucy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you, Lucy, for taking such great care of my pup!”

“we booked at the last min and the availability was open she responded quickly very friendly our Ziggy had a blast we was a little late picking him up and they was very understanding! We will most definitely be reaching out again!Thanks again!”

“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”

“What a delight! Reba was so wonderful with my two senior dogs. She was attentive, and her home and backyard were a great vacation for our pups while we were on vacation. I got lots of photos and updates! Highly recommend her and my dogs can't wait to come back again!”

“Jennifer and Sharon were absolutely awesome! They kept great communication throughout my entire trip and made sure to send a surplus of pictures and videos which is exactly what I needed since I missed my cats so much!”

“Larrona and her parents are loving & caring. My Trudie really enjoys being at her place. She is flexible and accommodating. I’ve booked multiple stays and each time exceeds my expectations. She’s a keeper!”

“Melanie was fantastic with my dog, Monty. I enjoyed receiving multiple updates and lots of photos to let me know he was doing okay. I highly recommend using Melanie.”


“Leslie is the best! She is very flexible and considerate when meeting your pet sitting needs. Her dogs are calm and get along well with others. Leslie also keeps you up to date with regular photo and video updates on your pup. Would highly recommend her!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”

“We just picked up our pupper, Pepper, after a weekend stay with Lesley. She was able to accommodate us for a last minute booking and took excellent care of her. Pepper loved playing with Lesley’s dogs and came home one happy and tired camper! We’ll definitely be using her again if the need arises.”

“Tre’Ana was an excellent host and worked with me on times and dates. Would recommend her to anyone!! My Hazel was definitely taken care of and so happy when I picked her up.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Academy
Alex was a fantastic sitter. She was a great communicator, and gave me frequents updates and pictures. She handled the special care my dog needed with no problems, and my dog seemed to love her. I would absolutely book her services again and recommend her to others.

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.

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!
