“Kelly was great with my dog, who is a monster at times. I received pics and videos while I was away. Kelly has a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of area to run. Kelly's dog Cody made a great friend to my puppy during her stay. I would definitely recommend using Kelly's services and plan to again in the future.”
“Awesome people!! And very accommodating!! It’s a comfort to know your furry family member is in such great hands while you are miles and miles away. It allows us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that he’s being so well cared for!!”
“This is my first time using rover or boarding my dog overnight and Melissa was amazing! She responds promptly to messages sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the day! Cleo is a hyperactive dog in general and I was nervous but Melissa provided amazing service she even bathed her I am so grateful definitely rebooking her!”
“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”
“Kim watched my 5-year-old Bulldog/Beagle mix for 10 days while we were traveling and we couldn't be happier. This was my first time leaving her and she unexpectedly had to have emergency surgery only 2 days before we left, but this turned out to be no concern at all. Kim knew exactly what to do, guided her through recovery, administered her medication, etc. Kim was easy to contact before/during the trip and, from daily photos/video she sent, it was obvious Beryl was having a great time and she was very happy/healthy when we picked her up. I would definitely use her again.”
“Rusty was clearly very happy when my husband and I picked him up, we could see in his eyes that he had a great calm time around sierra and her husband. We would definitely consider doggy sitting with them again 🥰”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“Absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old pup. She communicated promptly and well. Very pleased with how my pup was cared for and returned home!”
“Love, love, love Erika and Huxley! We were a bit nervous to leave our 12 week old, high energy Great Dane pup with a sitter for vacation. From minute one of booking, we knew Erika would be awesome. We did a meet n greet first to ensure the dogs were a good fit. We received daily updates with photo’s of our pup with her new friend Huxley. I think our pups are going to be life long friends! We won’t be using anyone else from this point on!”
“Fantastic with our nervous puppy! So patient with him and extremely responsive. Will book again!”
“Kuzco had another great time with Joshua and his family. He came home relaxed and in good spirits, that's all I can ask for.”
“Ashley was great at keeping me updated, sending photos and taking care of them! Hopefully she’ll be available for another trip we have coming up in November!”
“Jessie took great care of my senior beagle. We had a meet and greet beforehand and his two dogs accepted my old guy just fine. He sent me pics and updates everyday and even kept my dog an extra night because I was delayed getting back. I would highly recommend Jessie. He is kind and really cares a lot about animals. I won’t hesitate to use him again if the need arises.,”
“Super easy booking experience. Kept in contact giving updates the whole time. Definitely made it a lot easier to leave him behind. 10/10 recommend!”
“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”
“My dog was so happy and calm when I picked him up, he must have had a great time and was comfortable. I highly recommend Alexis!! Will definitely use her again if she'll have Dobby!! Thank you for making a tough time in my life a little easier (college move in week).”
“Very responsive and sent multiple pictures of our dog daily.”
“It was our first time using Rover, and we were lucky to find Danielle. She was very welcoming, kind and reassuring. Barley had a great time paling around and finding his special place in the house. We enjoyed all the pictures. He came home relaxed. We will definately have Barley stay with her again.”
“We are so glad that we opted to leave our dog with Dana and Jeremy. She is 10 years old and we only had her for a short time so we hated to leave her. She seemed to fit right in with Dana and Jeremy. They took her on several walks which is her favorite thing to do. We received multiple texts and pictures daily which really helped us relax while we were away. We will definitely use them again when we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”
