I cannot say enough good things about Brigid and her care of our Keely. She loved and cared for her so well that we never had to worry at all while we were gone. She sent pictures and gave regular updates. Highly recommend! We will use Brigid again!

This was the first time I used a Rover and it was definitely worth it. Jessica kept me updated on my doggy since this was his first time staying with a someone else and he has separation anxiety. My dog was very relaxed with her so there was no issues. She sent me lots of pics of him on his bed and when they go on walks. I will definitely book Jessica again the next time I go on vacation.

Patty sent me texts and pics all week so I knew all was well and it allowed me to truly relax on vacation. We will ABSOLUTELY be using Patty for doggy care in the future!!

Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Gillian! My dog, Benson, has serious separation anxiety along with specific dietary and medical needs, and it has been such a relief to finally find someone I completely trust to care for him. I never thought I’d see the day where he’d happily run into a sitter’s home—until we found her! From day one, Gillian has gone above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable, safe, and genuinely happy. She understands all of Benson’s quirks and needs, and treats him with the same patience and love that I do. It’s so clear how much she cares about every dog she looks after and truly treats them as her own. She’s also great about sending daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes, which give me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I always know he’s in the very best hands with her!

Katherine was amazing taking care of Bogey for the first time! She was super responsive during the booking process, and sent loads of photos throughout his stay. It was clear Bogey was sad to leave given what a nice time he had in Katherine's home.

Chelsea and Chris were amazing!! Munson came home well rested and loved. I am so grateful to them and so happy I found them. The constant pictures and communication was awesome. I take comfort in knowing there is someone I can leave him with - who will love and care for him as if he were their own.
