“Marissa was awesome to say the least. I literally had the person that was supposed to watch my dog cancel on me the day before my trip and Marissa was more than happy to watch my sweet dog with less than 24 hours notice. She took amazing care of Jada and send us pics daily. Jada loved being there and fit in just well. We were so pleased with the professionalism that Marissa had for our dog that we are already having her watch jada next month for our trip. Thank you so much again. You really came through last minute and it doesn’t go unrecognized!!”

12. Tammy V.
“First and foremost- Tammy is amazing! I almost don’t want to write this stellar review because I know that few Rover sitters in this area could ever compare to Tammy. I do want to share the details of our dog’s stay with her l, as he is not an easy keeper, and she is an amazing sitter. First, I explained to Tammy that our dog is deaf and blind when requesting the stay, and that he does need extra attention. I LOVED that she asked quickly to do a meet and greet- we also Rover sit and this is absolutely crucial for us. We met up with Tammy and her sweet doggie Archie at a park near her home- which I always love as an owner’s dog doesn’t have the same level of protection. I had some concerns about Archie being a bigger dog and Wally being an 11lb blind and deaf dude, but Archie is the sweetest. He sniffed and showed ZERO signs of aggression or even pushiness with our dog. We discussed all of our dogs needs, food, etc. and left the meet and greet feeling thankful to have met them. At drop off, we went over the rest of the details and Archie was so cute walking with our Wally through the house. Tammy keeps a super clean home and she even had extra beds and pillows out for Wally. During our dog’s stay, it was rainy on night one which meant he woke up needing to go to the bathroom RIGHT AWAY before the rain came. Unfortunately, that meant around 4am- which Tammy handled graciously and re-tucked him back in afterwards. Throughout our stay, she sent pictures, videos and updates- she LOVED our dog even when he can be difficult. She also had great cuddle nights where Wally and her dog Archie were happy to hang out. We are so thankful and look forward to booking with her again. Thank you, Tammy!”
13. Christina J.
“I can always rely on Christina to provide the best home stay for my Simba.. This was a last minute request due to a family emergency which Christina graciously accommodated. I am thankful to her for all that she has done for Simba and us.. She is the very reliable and great with dogs - her home and yard is beautiful and perfect for your furry friends.. highly recommended”
14. Norma H.
“Norma was wonderful with my little pup, Paco. She kept me informed throughout the day and I could tell he felt right at home and was having fun. I would highly recommend her and plan to have her take care of my dog again in the future.”
15. Jennifer M.
“My babies were so happy at Jennifer's they didn't want to leave! She is a very kind person who obviously loves animals! The home she pet sits out of is very clean and super spacious! Thank you so much Jennifer for being kind and tolerant to our babies! Hopefully you'll have us again!?”
16. Ashleigh K.
“First experience with Rover was a pleasant one…thanks to Ashleigh! She cared for my boy, Bear, as if he was one of her own pets. I really appreciate the pics/vids that were sent to me throughout Bear’s stay. Highly Recommended!!”
17. Aaron D.
“I am so very happy I was able to find Aaron to watch Tank and Harley! Was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to give me peace of mind. Thank you!”
18. Heather D.
“Heather and her family were so great with our little dog. She was super easy to get in touch with, sent updates on how the dog was doing, and made drop off and pick up a breeze.”
19. Mike M.
“Mike and his family are wonderful! Our Max enjoyed playing with the other dogs and we were so happy to see daily videos from Mike showing how much fun Max was having! Thank you so much!!!”
20. Isabella & Richard L.
“This is our first time using this service and we could not have imagined a better experience for us or our pup.
