“Katie and her family took such good care of my dog while I was out of town. She took her on walks, played with her, gave her treats, cuddled her, and sent lots of pictures and updates!! I could not have asked for someone better to take care of Rory girl 🤍”
“Amazing!! Alex and Baylie had such a great time with their family as I went out of state to scope out a new place!! They got to play with so many other dogs and had such an amazing experience! Was even willing to work with me over a last minute late pick up due to a flight cancellation and rebooking back I will be bringing Alex and Baylie back to her every time!!!”
“I can tell Dubs was happy with his visit at Savannah’s house! I so appreciate her taking such good care of him. He hasn’t had a lot of experience spending the night away from home, but I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Dubs enjoyed her dog, large fenced in yard and being included as part of the family this week. I’m so thankful to find such a loving place for him to stay when we go out of town!”
“5 stars! Great communication from pre booking to drop off and continuing through pickup. Took great care of my 2 dogs, sent pictures and updates during their stay. Perfect sitter in a comfy home setting. Highly recommend”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Doug did an amazing job with our puppy. He was very gentle and kind with her. It was our first time using Rover and first time leaving her for the weekend and I can honestly say I didn’t worry a bit. Highly recommend Doug and hope to use his services again.”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Opal was amazing! She took on our sweet guy for a last minute booking. We received constant updates throughout his stay. She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”
“Jessie is an absolutely amazing sitter. If I could I would give her 10 stars! I am new to the Birmingham area and needed a sitter for my elderly shih-poo for three weeks. She took excellent care of Licorice and met all of his special needs (even taking him to an appointment). I received regular updates including pictures so I was never nervous about his care while I was gone. I will absolutely book any future sittings with Jessie if she is available.”
“Kimberley was awesome! She was very accommodating and understanding of our older dog’s transition to a new area and home. Maddie loved her spacious backyard and her new friends, Sampson and Stokely. Maddie can’t wait for us to need Kimberley’s services again!”
“Danielle was great in providing pictures of our pet and taking care of him while we were out of town. Would definitely ask her to watch our pet again in the future!”
“Kyler took such great care of my 7 week old puppy! She was very accommodating and understanding of scheduling changes, especially with my last minute booking. My dog definitely enjoyed her time staying with Kyler! I will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“Jordyn was so patient with me as this was my first time using Rover. She went above and beyond with daily updates and photos. My dogs seemed to immediately feel comfortable with her and are pooped from multiple days of playing! Both of my dogs have pink noses and I asked her to please give them regular breaks to ensure they did not burn- my dogs noses look great! Thank you Jordyn!”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bleu!!! Ryan was great with Bleu, he sent photo updates, answered and replied to all my questions which gave me peace of mind. We had to change the dates bc we had an emergency and missed our flight. Ryan was so flexible and understanding. Ryan also has a lovely Mom and Dad, they’re a wonderful family and Bleu literally didn’t want to leave. I was shocked!! Im definitely booking Ryan again!!! Even if we arent going out of town I’ll be booking again just so she can visit her friend!!”

My dog Duke had an AMAZING stay with Rachel and her family. She sent a ton of pictures and the cutest video while I was away and made his first stay unforgettable. Her home is so welcoming and comfy because she literally has a doggy AirBnB for your pet that makes them feel right at home with lots of space and yard to play and rest. I look forward to booking again and again with her in the future.
