1. Skirla N.
“We have used Skirla to watch our sweet Roxie girl twice now and both times have been amazing! Skirla does a fantastic job at communicating, sending updates, and responding in such a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend her, and can’t wait for her to watch our pup again! 🥰”
2. Brittany W.
“This was Chewys 2nd time staying with Brittany! After having terrible experiences with other sitters I can’t express enough how great she is! I get multiple updates a day! Chewy has a great time! He’s found a new friend and somewhere safe to stay while I’m away!”
3. Lindsey B.
“Absolutely fantastic, Lindsey was able to take our dog Roman for the weekend at the last. Sent tons of updates, pictures, and videos of him having a great stay. Couldn't recommend more!”
4. Sharon S.
“Such a wonderful experience! I loved the videos and pics that were sent. I could tell that C.C. was so happy and well taken care of. We did not have to worry at all on our trip. We will definitely use Sharon again and again!”
5. Lorraine D.
“Lorraine was fantastic!! She sent lots of pictures of our Yorkie while we were away. We were beginning to wonder if our dog would want to come back home. We will be using her next time for sure!”
6. Cheltsey E.
“A friend of mine told me about rover.com when I was in a pinch looking for someone reliable that I would trust to care for my bulldog when family members had prior obligations. I must say that I was extremely apprehensive about allowing a stranger care for my fur baby. However, Cheltsey's vast knowledge of dogs, especially handling larger breeds, eased my anxiety. She was quick to respond to my messages & questions/concerns. The website was easy to navigate & made the reservation and communication with my dog sitter seamless. My dog was warmly welcomed upon our arrival as Cheltsey greeted us on the front porch. She assisted me with my dog's personal items & bonded with him instantly. Although she typically separates her dogs from the dog guests, I advised that I was fine if they interacted with mine. They all did wonderfully. It was like a sleepover for my fur baby! Cheltsey sent me pictures & messages updating on my dog's stay and how he was doing. This spoke volumes to me and helped to build a strong bond with my new dog sitter! She went out of her way to make my dog feel welcomed and loved. My dog had his own personal area in the house with a couch to relax on and enjoyed scenic walks. Cheltsey is very attentive and caring with a vibrant personality. I HIGHLY recommend Cheltsey and will most definitely be making future reservations with her.”
7. Krysta H.
“Krysta took amazing care of our pup while we were gone for a couple days. We got great updates and he seemed so happy while in her home. We would definitely recommend!”
8. Joanna S.
“Joanna is a caring and very knowledgeable professional. It is clear from the first minute that she has a real talent and heart for animals. She worked with our finicky little girl and lo and behold found a food she loves. Being an only dog, Jamie loved learning how to be part of a pack and also appreciated having a cat, like her pal at home, to be with. Joanna not only put up with our little diva's idiosyncrasies, she enjoyed them. We, and Jamie, look forward to having another "adventure" with Joanna.”
9. Dominique G.
“This is my first time using Rover. I loved Dominique. She provided a lot of updates. She was extremely patient with my pup and senior dog who is now blind. I have a lot of comfort now knowing I have another reliable and caring dog sitter when needed.”
10. Sonia C.
“As always--Rosie LOVED her time with Sonia and Jeff. She is never hesitant to go with them and is eager to go and play as soon as we arrive. They clearly love dogs and enjoy their time with them. We are always pleased with the care they provide.”
11. Gary W.
“Lucy had the best time staying with Gary and his family! Gary was nice to send a picture daily so I could see what Lucy was up to. And he would keep me posted on how she was doing. Lucy enjoyed the farm setting with plenty of space to run and play with lots of farm animal friends. Gary took excellent care of my dog and I know she was comfortable and enjoyed her time with him and his family. Feel good knowing your dog is really well cared for with Gary! I look forward to Lucy staying here again.”
12. Amanda C.
“Highly competent sitter. This the second time I have used her. I will definitely use her again when needed. You will not regret your choice to use her services.”
13. Shalini J.
“I can't express enough how pleased I am with the incredible care Shalini and her husband provided for my dog, Ella, during her 10-day stay with them. As a pet owner, it always feels daunting to leave your furry friend behind, but Shalini and her husband exceeded all my expectations and put my mind completely at ease. From the moment I dropped Ella off, it was clear that she was in loving and capable hands. Shalini and her husband welcomed her warmly into their home, which already felt like a second home for Ella. She instantly bonded with their lovely and very friendly golden retriever, and it was heartwarming to see her so happy and playful. Throughout Ella's stay, Shalini and her husband kept me updated with numerous videos, which were a delightful reassurance. Watching Ella wag her tail, play with her new friend, and enjoy her temporary home environment was such a joy. It was evident that they treated Ella like a member of their own family, ensuring she received plenty of attention, care, and affection. This was our first boarding experience with Shalini and her husband, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Ella was returned to me a happy, well-adjusted pup, clearly having enjoyed her stay. The love and dedication Shalini and her husband showed towards Ella were truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Shalini and her husband to anyone looking for exceptional dog sitters. They have a wonderful, welcoming home and a warm, caring approach that ensures your dog will be in excellent hands. Thank you, Shalini and your husband, for taking such wonderful care of Ella. You made our first experience a fantastic one, and we look forward to future stays!”
14. Melissa T.
“Melissa took great care of my dog!! She was able to take him at last minutes notice. My dog is a 120lb Rottweiler and Melissa was absolutely great with him! Melissa and her husband were able to pick up and drop off as well which was a huge help.”
15. Denise C.
“Denise and her family were amazing! Odin loved his week with them, and we felt so at ease that he was in such good hands. She went above and beyond, best experience we have ever had with anyone watching him.”
16. Mandi B.
“My boys had such a great time! They were so sleepy and tired as I’m sure they running around and playing the entire stay. It’s hard for me to leave my boys, I get over worried and anxious but I felt so comfortable after meeting Mandi that I was actually able to enjoy my night away! Thank you so much!”
17. Catie P.
“Very friendly, beautiful yard and accomodations for my little buddy. Will surely use again!”
18. Miriam H.
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
19. Susan A.
“Susan was the best!! Oscar was well taken care of, loved on like he was there own! We definitely be using her again!!!”
20. Robyn M.
“Robyn was amazing! Sent us plenty of pics and updates. Took wonderful care of our fur baby. We don’t come up this way very often but if we do, we will be bringing Anna here.”
