“I was blown away by April's positive attitude and dedication to caring for my golden retriever. She meticulously created a safe, pack-like environment where the dogs felt at home, and the areas were exceptionally clean. Even more impressive were her plans to enhance her already wonderful outdoor space. As a side note, April is a certified dog trainer. Shortly after dropping off my dog and running errands in town, I noticed her diligently and patiently leash-training my dog during a walk, as my GPS took me back past her location. April never mentioned this task on Rover or in person; she simply did it on her own time, free of charge, without boasting. Her quiet integrity and humility are extraordinarily impressive. Best Rover experience so far!”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“Great communication and worked around me messing up with the app with ease! Ransford is not necessarily the easiest dog and I got nothing but glowing reports because of how much fun he was having! She did well with his meds and I trusted his safety in the house and with the other family members, furry and human. She will be my first call next time I need a sitter!”
“Always feel a bit anxious to board my cat while I'm away, but I wasn't worried at all with him staying with Fiorella. She has the purrfect setup to take care of cats, and sent me pictures everyday which put me at ease that Calcifer was well taken care of. I highly recommend this Rover sitter! Thank you, Fiorella😺🧡”
“Katie cared for out terrier-mix overnight. Her report was that he was looking for us for an hour post our leaving But then Kate's children started playing with Teddy and his mind switched to having fun. I like that there was a lot of human to dog interaction. Katie sent some photos of Teddy. She did a good job of caring for Teddy.”
“This is the first time using someone to watch our dog... it was an absolute wonderful experience we ever had. Very polite and communicated with fast responses. Our dog is very shy amd timid but they understood that and worked with him for the time they had him. We felt like they became part of our family.”
“Thank you, Liudmila, for taking care of our sweet puppy. She had a wonderful time with you and your family and came home such a happy, calm girl! I really appreciate all the love and care you gave her!”
“Kimberley does a great job watching our dog Louie. She gives photo updates and it’s obvious she loves animals. We feel lucky to have found Kimberley for dog sitting!”
“They were wonderful with our little pomeranian. I was worried about leaving her overnight because she gets separation anxiety, but they sent me lots of videos and pictures and it looks like she had a blast! I would definitely recommend them, they are such a kind and caring couple.”
“Love the energy she bought. You could tell she loved dogs and her golden, Luke, was a wonderful play mate. I enjoyed all the photos of them playing together and I thought it was super cute that Juno had a bandana on. We've decided to get him one after seeing how adorable he was in it.”
“Our black lab stayed with Janelle and Travis for a week. We received updates during the week and our dog came home exhausted from all the outside play time she got. Thank you!”
“Another great experience with Monica! She watched nova at her place for a few days while I was working long hours. Very communicative and love getting all the pictures of the fur baby. I definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trusted sitter”
“Danielle was very good with our senior hound. She did the needed medications and gave us daily updates with photos of how she was doing. Being the first time at a Rover house, our hound had some special needs, and Danielle was responsive to them and made the necessary adjustments. Thank you”
“Christi did a great job taking care of our dog Abby for 10 days. She was knowledgeable about dogs and took great care to make Abby feel welcome and safe. Her daily photos and messages were much appreciated and helped put us at ease. We would definitely request Christi again.”
“Emily & Kenneth took wonderful care of our dog Maximus! They were experienced, professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We got daily pictures and updates of our smiling boy as he got to play with their dog, Olive. We absolutely recommend Emily & Kenneth and will be keeping them in mind for all our future needs!”
“Kathy and family were the perfect care takers for our corgi. We received photo updates to let us know he was settling in and enjoying his visit. When we experienced travel delays due to an airplane with mechanical issues, Kathy was extremely understanding and flexible and went out of her way to continue the extended care. We appreciate Kathy and her family so much and can’t say enough good things about how she cared for our Butters!”
“Sarah was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and with every text that followed. For consideration, our 3 doggies are very friendly, do not resource guard, do not jump on people and are not chewers or destructive. We left them 36 hours during a family trip at Deception Pass. Sarah is a professional dog watcher; day care and overnight, with a fenced yard for the dogs to wander. We received multiple photos of our 3 doggies together and with other dogs who were in her care, indoors and out. Our pups had tails wagging when we arrived to pick them up. I would use Sarah again if I am in the area needing a safe, friendly place for our pups.”
“Nolan and Sabrina took excellent care of our dog Bear for 5 days! We really appreciated the photos and videos and very responsive. Plenty of yard space to run around too! Honestly could not have asked for a better experience! Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Jenifer was great! She provided a great home for our dog to stay at while we were out of town! She had an understanding of dogs that made me feel comfortable leaving our dog Penny with her. 100% will use her again!”
