“Luke and Rachel were great, they let us come by a couple days before our booked time for us to meet them and they could meet us and Saydee. They were great at communicating with us and sending us pictures of our girl and letting us know how her day went!”
“KAREN WAS EXCELLENT!!!! Daily exercise, communication and thee best photos! I almost think my dog is sad to be back home!! Her whole family seemed to enjoy taking care of my sweet Delta. I also want to add that I used Rover for the first time, very last minute and Karen was also patient with me :) Hope she is available for our next trip!!!”
“Mike is an amazing pet sitter! We 100% recommend him. Ranger loves going to stay at Mike’s and always comes home happy + tired out from all the play. Mike sends photos and videos of your dog playing throughout the day and is very responsive. So thankful we found Mike to take care of our dog when we’re out of town!!”
“Got frequent updates and our pup seemed to love the environment! Monika was very welcoming and understanding when it came to certain instructions with our dog will definitely go back for future stays:)”
“Carolyn and Kris were like a second home for our Golden Retriever, Lucy. Everyday walks, lots of photos shared, lap time with Kris and play time with other dogs. Could not have asked for a better experience for our first time to board Lucy. It did not feel like we were 'boarding' her. It felt more like home.”
“Giovana & her family were absolutely amazing to our pup, Tucker! She was speedy in communication and sent lots of photos during his stay there. She was very accommodating & you can tell has a huge heart for animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We've already got our next away-dates scheduled with them. Tucker is already excited! 😀”
“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”
“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away from her for the first time since adopting her. She was very communicative while we were away, and great at adapting with our dog’s behavior issues.”
“Kelly and her daughters are THE BEST! We received daily photos with dear comments about our dog Coco! And it was obvious that Coco lived his time with Kelly, Lily and Luna as well! ???❤️❤️❤️”
“Christine was wonderful. She knew I was apprehensive leaving my baby and she knew I was nervous about her not eating. She sent me pictures daily showing me she was happy and eating at every meal. This put me at ease and helped me to enjoy my vacation because I knew she was in good hands!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We hit the jackpot picking Nicole & Derek. Of course we were worried about leaving Odie and then with the rain the first night, I was really concerned about how Odie was doing. I received pictures and updates plus was told Odie got to sleep with one of their boys! When I picked Odie up, he was happy and really tired from having a fun weekend. Nothing like his reaction or smell when we have had to put him in a kennel. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole, Derek and your boys! I hope they will be available when we next need to leave Odie in someone else’s care.”
“Shaina took amazing care of my two dogs! She was very communicative, sent photos as requested and took wonderful care of both of them. She was very understanding of a bad past care experience and ensured both dogs were safe and comfortable. They came home happy and exhausted from such a fun weekend!”
“This was our 2nd time using Dynette and she was FANTASTIC again!! My dog HATES thunder and an unexpected storm pooped up! Dynette was so loving and patient with her! I cannot thank Dynette enough! My dog is so comfortable and loved when she is there! Dynette is the best!”
“Caleb was wonderful while taking care of our dog for 4 days/nights. We really appreciated the daily updates along with pictures of Murphy! Our dog has a lot of energy and Caleb did a fantastic job playing with him all day and making sure he got on his walks/runs as needed. We will definitely be using Caleb more often for dog boarding!!”
“It was our first time on the Rover site and we needed someone to board our sweet girls Betsy & Bailey for about 2 weeks. We were moving and we knew they would not do well with all the change at once. And what we found was the best! Jazmin and her great family took them in as if they were their own pups. The love, snuggles and support they received from the entire family was immeasurable. We will be doing this again soon! I’m talking about top notch dog people! We are truly blessed to have found Jazmin!”
“Mikayla provided excellent care of our lab Zeke while we were on vacation recently. She was very attentive to his needs and sent us frequent photos of him playing and being happy. Mikayla accomodated a late pickup for Zeke when our plane was delayed. We will definitely use Mikayla again for our pet sitting needs!”
“George and Soua were so great with our puppy. They sent lots of cute photos and were really quick to answer any communication. Teddy loved playing with their dog too.”
