“Extremely satisfied! My pup got lots of good care and affection. Truly went above and beyond. The Chewmiester destroyed her collar and Cassie bought my pup a new one! Great sitter, great family. Highly appreciated and recommended🤎🖤🧡”
“My doggo was happy and healthy when I picked him up. The pictures Kaycee sent reassured me too, my dog was clearly relaxed and comfortable with her. Will definitely be going back!”
“We feel so comfortable with Paula and Bill taking care of our Finny. We are very happy we found them and plan to secure them for all of our future needs. Very happy with their communication, photos and daily updates.”
“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”
“We went over seas for 14 days. Aimee kept great contact with us and sent us videos and pictures. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our fur babies with her and her husband. I highly recommend her as a trust with and caring sitter. We will use her again for several trips we have coming up in 2025. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you! 😊”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Keith, Rebecca and family watched our puppy for 5 days. She had such a great time! They sent me pictures everyday, and this makes me very happy. Thank you very much!”
“This review is the absolute truth. Brittany is that rare individual that REALLY cares for the pet you entrust her with. My dog had never been outside my care. He bonded so well with her as I saw in the pictures she sent me as I was on my trip. I would look to have her take care of my dog anytime!!! Thanks to Brittany and to Rover for employing her. 5 star review!!!!”
“I simply cannot say enough good things about the experience of having Connie and Greg watch Carter for me while I was away. I have booked with Connie several times in the past and I will continue to book with her in the future. It is a relief to know that Carter is the best hands when Connie is watching him. While I always miss my fur baby when I'm not there, I never have to worry about him getting the care and attention he needs. My dog has a sensitive stomach and very strict diet limitations. Connie's attention to detail while adhering to his restrictions is so appreciated. Connie maintains constant communication with text messages and pictures so that you know your pet is doing well! Leaving our pets while away is stressful, but I assure you, you have nothing to worry about when you choose Connie. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”
“Samantha was great with my 3 fur babies. It was evident that my dogs loved her when I picked. them up because they kept running to her and to us. She was great to send pictures and videos while we were gone to let us know that they were doing great and enjoying the big backyard. I would definitely use Samantha again to watch our dogs.”
About: Hi I’m Nathan and I want to make your life easier! I learned to walk my grandparents dog as soon as I was old enough to hold the leash. I have always had a cat, but I only had one dog for most of his life until he crossed that rainbow bridge. I found that the paw prints left on my heart could be filled with the joy of helping my friends and family with their dogs. I love to help keep dogs happy and healthy, including a good diet, and plenty of exercise. I work from home full time, so I’m available for evening walks. If your dog is cat friendly and on the smaller size, and decides I’m a safe human, I’m also willing to board both during the day and overnight. I have two cats, I keep their food out of reach of dogs when they’re over, and their litter box FAR separated from where a dog can access it.
“Kate was AMAZING! She was so flexible as I had a last minute booking! She sent great videos and pictures throughout Astros stay and he looked like he was just right at home! I would 100 percent trust her again to watch Astro! Highly recommend!!”
“Carrie was awesome! She communicated quickly and let me bring my dog for a visit before I booked with her. She sent updates everyday and she really pampered our pup! I highly reccomemd her!”
About: I have 5 years experience training and boarding dogs. I have 2 Dutch shepherds, 1 shihtzu, and 1 rescue currently. I am a NePoPo silver school graduate. I have partnered in training many dogs in bitework, obedience, and scent detection. I actively compete in frisbee, dock diving, and many other dog sports. I have experience with non social dogs and take pride in safety. I currently work full time but am free in the early mornings and evenings for walking. My boyfriend is usually home during the day. I am very flexible. I take pride in safety. Dogs will always be leashed and will not interact with other animals unless discussed with the owner. Dogs will never be in direct contact with other dogs. If crated, will be in a crate in a room with other crated dogs.
“Pat is very caring toward the dogs. She watched all three of small spoiled pups for 13 days sending us updates and pictures daily. All three came home happy and well cared fir.”
“Donald was absolutely fantastic watching Roman! He was communicative, responsible, and clearly cared about Roman's well-being. Roman was happy and well-cared for, which gave me real peace of mind during my trip. I would highly recommend Donald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter and will definitely book him again!”

Akron pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tyler was exceptional. This was our first time using Rover for our 10-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog and my sister’s senior Chiweenie. We usually rely on family, so we were nervous, but Tyler’s great reviews and quick communication put us at ease. He sent thoughtful updates and photos. Our dogs were shy at first and skipped a few meals, but he was patient and gentle, and by the end of the stay they had clearly warmed up. His care took one big worry off our wedding weekend. We’d book him again without hesitation. Thank you again, Tyler!!
My girl Pippi absolutely loved going to grandma Pat’s. She played so much with Lexi that when I got her home, she took an hour and a half nap, went outside and now is napping on my lap. I would highly recommend Pat with your fur baby. She is excellent. I only used her once and already love her.
Megan did an amazing job with Apollo! Apollo felt right at home and so loved ❤️ The daily pictures that I got every day of Apollo was “icing on the cake” and I felt more at ease seeing all the fun he was having every day. I think Apollo was a little sad when the stay was over.
Shannnon was amazing with my boys! I’ve never really left them with anyone but family and she made me feel like they were her family! She sent lots of photos and updated me throughout their stay! I would be happy to let my dogs go stay with her any time I needed! The dogs didn’t want to come back home when I picked them up!
Jared was very accommodating and responded timely to any questions I had. My dog had a great time at Jared’s! I have an older dog who had a few special needs and Jared did an awesome job with him. Jared was able to give my dog a few short walks during the day and he loved that. I really appreciated all he did for my little guy!
Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.
