“Kimberely was truly exceptional with my dog, Rooster. She treats every dog she watches as if they are a member of her own family, and it genuinely shows. From her daily updates, it was clear she took the time to understand Roo’s unique personality and little quirks — something that meant so much to me. Rooster can struggle with separation anxiety, and this was our first Rover experience where, when I arrived to pick her up, she happily greeted me and then immediately went back to playing instead of making a beeline for the car to go home. That alone speaks volumes about how safe, comfortable, and loved she felt in Kimberely's care. Her home is also clean, cozy, and perfectly set up for dogs, with a fenced-in backyard that gives them plenty of space to play and relax. I can’t recommend Kimberely highly enough. Knowing that I have such a wonderful, trustworthy sitter makes me genuinely look forward to my next trip — and I know Roo will too.”
“They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!”
“Matthew and Jill took great care of my girls! I have two large german shepherds. It can be difficult to find sitters who enjoy having big dogs around. My dogs got along great with the owner's dog and had plenty of space in their basement to run around, and the backyard was a big plus. 100% recommend booking with Matthew and Jill!”
“Always wonderful having Dianna watch our fur babies! Very communicative. Makes sure to keep us updated throughout their stay with pictures. Always happy and super enthusiastic with our babies. We appreciate you so much! Highly recommend‼️”
“Alycia and Scott were great with our 2 dogs! The dogs seemed happy safe and comfortable in their home. We received pictures every day. Will definitely contact them in the future.”
“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Tricia is so great and amazing. My dog, yuzu loves it when she is with Tricia. I love how Tricia sends daily updates with photo. She truly is the best. I recommended her to all of my friends”
“I would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when we’re away!”
“Angel and her family were very sweet and our dog fit right in. Angel was very responsive and sent updates over the week. We will definitely use Angel again in the future.”
“I have used Patricia several times for my girl Dolly. She always does an amazing job. This stay my girl had some ear irritation going on and Patricia let me know and even picked up some ear drops for me and gave to her. It made me feel so happy to know my girl was in great hands. We now live in Indianapolis but even planned our trip to fly out of Cincy so Patricia could pet sit for us :) Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a great time with Avery and her family over Christmas! We didn’t worry about a thing because we knew she was getting the best care. She also came back SMELLING like Christmas and Avery had gotten her some little treats as a gift. She will definitely be staying with Avery again in the future!”
“I feel very lucky to have found Tammi to watch Whiskey and Soda. She sent me many photos and the dogs seemed very well cared for while we were gone. No doubt that we will use her again when we go out of town. A+ for the care she gave to my pups! Z a”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”
“This was our second time leaving Cooper with Joseph & Tasha and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They send updates and quick to respond when corresponding. Cooper is always super happy and exhausted after a stay with them- we will def be using them in the future!”

Jobe and his girlfriend were amazing with our 2 dogs! We went out of town for a week and were very nervous about boarding them, but it worked out so well. Jobe sent multiple photo/video updates each day, which I didn’t have to ask for and I absolutely loved getting! It gave me peace of mind that our pups were happy and being given the attention we hoped they would get. They were so worn out from how much fun they had when we picked them up. He even sent them home with a new toy, even though they broke one of his. I will definitely be asking Jobe to watch our babies again in the future! Thank you for loving our dogs like your own!
