“Ming looked after my dog for 4 days while I was out of town. It’s always a bit unnerving leaving your loved ones with someone else and I’ve had mixed experiences using Rover, but this was a very positive experience. Ming has a nice house, fenced yard and works from home, so he was able to give my dog a good amount of attention. He was very good about checking in every day and sending photos and, overall, a very responsive communicator. I will most definitely use Ming the next time I need a sitter!”
“Very responsive and accommodating! Appreciated that she took the time to do a meet & greet beforehand so that I could make sure my dog would feel comfortable with her dogs. Sent lots of pictures and my little guy looked like he was being very well taken care of with lots of love, cuddles, and walks!”
“Windsor just came back from a week stay with Tiffany and Soriya and must have had the best time, He’s done nothing but sleep all day! He always comes home tired so that tells me he enjoys his stay with them!”
“Travis and Danielle were awesome! We booked a little last minute, and had some slight changes to our pick-up times. Our senior pup was placed on meds earlier in the week and they were perfectly ok with his crazier med schedule. They uploaded photos of happy pups and kept us updated through the journey, were also very accommodating to making sure our dogs stayed where they felt most comfortable. I’m so grateful for finding them and would 10/10 recommend! Our dogs came home happy and tired.”
“Definitely recommend Jena! We were so nervous to leave our anxious pup with someone she didn't know & in a place she'd never been. But watching Jena interact with Mara settled all our nerves - it's extremely obvious that animals are a passion of Jena's. She sent daily updates and pictures, as well as cared for Mara as if she was her own dog and was kind enough to handle some last minute meds prescribed by the vet. So many good things to say, don't even know where to begin. Honestly, don't think Mara wanted to leave when we picked her up! We will absolutely be using Jena and her service again! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Maxwell took great care of our dog! He sent plenty of pictures and spent time outdoors with him which we loved. Our dog came home happy and exhausted after a full weekend. Maxwell was also super flexible with us when we had to pick our dog up a little late. We would highly recommend!”
“Steve was fantastic for Danny Boy! Several updates with photos each day and very conscious of Danny’s needs. Prompt replies to texts and questions. Daily walks at nearby parks and evening fetch in the yard. Steve’s home is well-suited for hosting animals and Danny was very comfortable. I picked up a healthy and happy boy on the final day!”
“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“We loved Debra. & oh my, so did our Buddy Bear. She spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be using Debra again. We highly recommend her. She has a sweet, loving & cozy home. Your pups will love her back yard. ❤️❤️❤️🐶”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“Left my 3 dogs with him and can say It went great! I got daily updates and felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, I would definitely board again! Thank you So Much, Nathan!”
“Jessica and her husband are AMAZING! They took such good care of our two boys as if they were their own. Our dogs are high energy and can be a lot to handle but they felt right at home from the start. We received photos and updates everyday that made us feel like they were in extra good hands. Thank you so much ♥️”
“Alice is such a friendly person. We felt very good about leaving Teddy with her for a few days. She has had pets before and knows how to show special attention to your pet when they come to stay. We will definitely consider her for another stay in the future.”
“The fur babies absolutely loved her and I couldn’t be more thankful! Sent photo updates but didn’t actually need anything when I was away which was massive piece of mind being hundreds of miles away. Worked out some funky pickup/drop off times because of my flights and just overall amazing. Definitely will be returning in the future!”
“Lynne made our 1st Rover experience go so smoothly! Bella absolutely loved staying with her while we were on vacation. She was great at communicating and sending updates to make our experience stress free. Bella felt right at home with being able to snuggle on the couch and look out the window. We would definitely recommend Lynne!”
