“Rodney and Marissa were great! Very accommodating for our fur baby Tyson.. our crate is fairly large and so they had an extra one for him that was sufficient for him. Very patient with me as I sometimes get separation anxiety. Lol. But we are very grateful to you both! Until next time. Thank you.”

“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”

“Mila provided excellent care of our little princess. From the initial meeting to the completion of our pets stay we were at ease and knew our pet was in qualified caring hands. Thank you Mila we will definitely be contacting you in the future!”

“Ms Kimberly was great. I get pictures on a daily basis. My baby for sure had fun! I highly recommend! Thank you very much again to Ms Kim for caring for my baby.”


“Once again, thank you so much, Felice. You and your family were so sweet with Maple while I was overseas. It was a piece of mind for us knowing that she was also having fun and was well taken cared.”

“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”


“This was our girl Elsie’s first stay and it worked out great! Mary and James are lovely and we could tell that they were spoiling our girl. We loved the funny photos they sent. We look forward to having our dog stay there again”
“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”

“Jena did a great job. I had total peace of mind while my dog was with her. I got cute updates throughout, and she was very professional and took excellent care of my pup. Her house and yard are so fun and perfect for dogs. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her services!”

“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”

“We could not have asked for better sitters than Brittanie, Ryan and their family! They cared for Sarge like he has been a part of their family for years. We received lots of photos of Sarge while we were away and it was obvious that he was having a great time! We will certainly be reaching using Brittanie and Ryan again to care for Sarge while we are away!”

“Steven was an incredible host for our retired greyhound! He is incredibly communicative, thorough, and clearly cares deeply for his canine guests. He creates the perfect environment for a dog that prefers some peace mad quiet.”

“Danielle took great care of my dog while I was away! Sadie was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Danielle was responsive and sent me regular updates so I knew Sadie was happy and safe. I highly recommend Danielle!!”

“Nikki was great! She was flexible and seemed to understand what our reserved, sometimes anxious girl needed to feel comfortable. We appreciated knowing she was in good hands.”

“ore loves loves loves chip, jake, and ms virginia. she always perk up/get excited when she hear their names. hands down! a wonderful fur baby sitter and highly/definitely recommended . 💕”

“Ariel was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter! She cared for our sweet Cookie and sent pictures. She made all my worries out the door when she reassured us that Cookie was fine! We have found our dog sitter and I couldn’t be more grateful for Ariel 🌸”

“Lonnie was awesome!!! I received updates and tons of photos. Had a death in the family before my trip, the funeral was the day after I returned. I mentioned this to Lonnie and he was generous enough to hold Shooby a little longer so I didn't have to rush or worry. Highly recommend!!!”

Academy Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brianna was such a perfect fit for our Sophie girl! She is incredibly responsive and takes on any needs that come along - Sophie is very particular with some of her habits and quarks. Sophie was certainly on vacation just as much as I was while staying with Brianna!

Carla was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using the Rover app, and I was extremely nervous about leaving my baby with someone he didn’t know — especially someone I didn’t know either. However, Carla immediately made me feel comfortable. She was pleasant and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending plenty of pictures and messages, which really helped ease my mind. Yori was clearly well taken care of and comfortable with her. When I picked him up, he usually cries after not seeing me for a long period of time, but he didn’t do that at all. He was actually looking for Carla when she went back into the house lol. That alone showed me how loved and cared for he felt while he was there. She took great care of Yori, and I would definitely book with her again!

We are extremely grateful for how Jillian, Bobby, and their daughter took care of our dog. They sent us lots of pictures and gave us consistent updates on how he was doing. It really gave us the peace of mind we needed in order to enjoy our time away from home. We look forward to Sherlock, staying with them again.

Brad was terrific! 5 stars all the way. Our dog stayed ant Brad’s home and was clearly well loved as she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to hop in my car to go home at the end of the stay. Brad communicated well and sent photos and updates daily. He is obviously very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs. I would use him again in a heartbeat.
