“Absolute best care of our pets and our home. Our dog and 2 cats were happy to see us when we returned from vacation and showed no signs of stress. Our home was in great shape too. We are so pleased. We highly recommend Christine.”
“Esther & Mike were wonderful with our dogs. It was the first time we left them with someone other than family. We have one easy dog and one senior dog who can be grumpy and difficult. We were a little nervous, but Esther & Mike welcomed them both and got them acclimated to being around other dogs with no problems at all. They took great care of our ‘fur babies’ and I’d trust our dogs with them for another stay anytime.”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“So grateful for Kerstyn to take our Charlie last minute. Our dog got along great with hers! I feel bad my she took such good care of her on walks and lots of snuggles. Will use again!”
“Kelly was so accommodating to watch our pup with extending his stay due to my ever evolving schedule. My dog Brownie seemed very happy and content with her and I will definitely keep her in mind in the future!”
“Can't say enough good things about Luciana. She was great with communication, pupdates, and giving my puppy so much care and attention he came home happier than when I left him. I was reluctant to leave Maverick with anyone and Luciana completely put me at ease. She is 100% my go to person for taking care of my pup.”
“Danyelle was fantastic and super easy to communicate with, both before I left out of town and during. Loved getting daily reports and pictures. She also threw in a couple of treats for my dog which was really so sweet of her. I highly recommend Danyelle and would use her again.”
“Heather took amazing care of our little guy, Bruce. She kept us updated daily on how he was doing--and sent a picture a day while doing so. She was also very responsive if we had any questions outside of the daily check-in. Our first experience on Rover was with Heather - and should we need a dogsitter again - we would use her in a heartbeat! ”
“We are so glad to find Jodee and Aj! Very caring and attentive sitters who made sure to update us. They took the time to learn about Bear and make sure they made his stay alittle vacation ✨ Definitely recommend Jodee and AJ!”
“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Tyler and his family. We couldn't be more pleased. We will definitely ask Tyler to take our dog any time we need to be away. Thank you Tyler.”
“Isabelle is super! She sent pictures and was very flexible with my schedule. Bella enjoyed her time with her cute dog Robbie. I appreciate her and her service! We will definitely request her again for her service ! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
“Vilisi took really good care of our dog. She updates us everyday when we were away. I will always choose Vilisi when we need somebody who will take care of our boy.”
“Our pup had an amazing time at Lauren’s! Lauren kept our active 1 year old dog plenty busy with walks, trips to the dog park and play with her own sweet doggy. She kept us updated w messages, videos and pictures throughout his stay.”
“Great experience with Christy! Excellent communication before and during our trip. Our dog was well taken care of and we received daily photos and updates. Highly recommend this sitter. Thank you, Christy! We hope to see you again when Ruby needs a sitter.”
“Nicole was great with our dog Shira, Shira felt right at home. Nicole kept me informed and sent me daily pictures of Shira lounging on the sofa, bed, being the spoiled princess that she is. Nicole also took care of my cat, and we will be using her again. Highly recommended.”
“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”
“Leila took great care of Penny for a full week. She was kind enough to meet with us prior to Penny’s stay so that Penny would have a sense of familiarity at drop off. She asked good questions and sent many updates while we were away. We appreciated her caring demeanor and would definitely book again!”
Arlington Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Erin and Allan took great care of our rescue dog Jordi who can sometimes suffer separation anxiety. They were patient, understanding and made sure he felt at home. Took him on walks and rubbed his belly. In return, I was able to relax on a much needed vacation. Thank you!
Christine is the best of the best! She (along with her fantastic parents) took care of our dog for 9 nights, allowing us to relax on a much-needed vacation. She always takes such good care of Brie that we never need to worry one tiny bit, and this allowed us to really relax. Christine is so communicative and caring each and every day! Brie had the best time there and was so well cared for, plus she had a blast and made a few new canine friends. I am so grateful to Christine and her family for taking care of Brie. Highest recommendation!
My dog had a wonderful stay with Nyla and Corey! They made him feel comfortable and at ease and shared many photos and videos of him getting many snuggles and lots of love. Nyla and Corey have also been so helpful and flexible with my unexpected schedule changes. Highly recommended and would definitely ask Nyla and Corey to doggy sit again
I hate writing reviews but was compelled to give Leila an honest and deserved review after a week away from our dog. Would I book again? 100% yes. Did my dog do well? Absolutely. Would I recommend Leila to others? In an instant. She is caring, reliable, communicates well, and really understands the needs of dogs. Stop looking, Leila is what your dog wants and needs in a sitter.
Stefani was great with Bentley! I loved that she has a blind pup of her own because it helps to understand the little nuances in walking and caring for similar pets. I felt confident in her care for Bentleys and thoroughly enjoyed my holiday travels knowing that my pup was in safe hands. She gave him all his meds, took him on walks and to holiday gatherings where other senior pups were present. Stefani even gave Bentley a bath! He returned to me smelling like a fresh healthy pooch and I can’t thank her enough. She also provided update with pictures.
Miryam did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Poppy, for a week over the holiday. She took the time to really understand Poppy’s needs and preferences, which gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout the week, she sent photos and videos every day that clearly showed how happy and relaxed Poppy was in her care. When we picked Poppy up, she was thrilled to see us—and then immediately tried to lead us back to Miryam’s door, which says everything about how comfortable and well cared for she felt. We would absolutely trust Miryam again and highly recommend her.
Kelly and her husband did a wonderful job watching our senior pup, Curie! They understand she was a bit shy initially but gave her plenty of treats and love. We appreciated the updates and wonderful pictures! Curie seemed very relaxed when we picked her up - a great sign. Thank you!
Emma was one of the best sitters we have ever had for our dog Wilson - truly a gem. She provided updates on how he was doing each day along with pictures (which was the best). If Emma had any questions, she would ask and she was always very responsive. We appreciated her help so much and would recommend / love to use her again for future!
