1. Patricia K.


“My two pups had a great time at daycare for the last 3 days while I was in town on business. Pattie & Mike were super flexible as this was a last minute booking, and kept us updated with adorable pics showing how much fun they were having all day. One of my pups is typically very shy around new people and will shake or hide behind us, but on our second day she went straight to them, happy as can be, wagging like crazy at dropoff. I know my girls are in good hands here, and will definitely be using Pattie again when I'm in town.”


2. Michael P.

“Michael was prompt and professional; yet a very friendly, warm and welcoming person. Daisy took to him immediately. I appreciated the photos. And, from the photos, I could tell that Daisy was well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mike, for your loving care of Daisy.”

“I am so happy to have found Erena in Rover. She was very welcoming and understanding of my dog’s situation and assured me that she will be safe and will have her quiet place. Thank you very much!”


4. Marta G.


“I was very nervous about leaving my over-anxious, high-maintenance rescue baby with someone for the very first time, but Marta was amazing. She made both me and him feel at ease and provided a great day-time stay! Already booking her overnight for our vacation in January. Thank you!!”


5. D’Artagnan Y.

“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”


6. Paula Anne V.

“Paula took great care of Felix today. He came home as a happy puppy! She took detailed notes throughout the day and took pictures of Felix. Highly recommend Paula for your special pup!”


7. Prithvi Ganesh K.

“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”


8. Jeslyn Z.

“Jeslyn was very kind and responsive! She sent updates/ pictures throughout the day.”


9. Christina B.

“Christina, Nash, and the whole family were great hosts for Charlie! Christina provided a mid day update along with pictures and carved out time in her day for a 2-mile walk with the dogs. They all were very welcoming and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Christina and hope we will be back periodically for more visits.”


10. Patricia F.

“This was our first time leaving our puppy Flynn with Patricia and we will definitely ask her to watch him again! Patricia was kind and very communicative through the whole process. We really felt like our Flynn was very well taken care of by Patricia. Thank you so much!!”


11. Thomas & Kelly S.

“Definitely will be booking again ! Thank you guys for the awesome care and flexibility :)”


12. Sue N.
“Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!”


13. Mary B.

“This is our first time using Rover and we are so lucky to find Mary. My Shiba Inu Jiro never had any daycare or boarding experience before, Mary eased my nerves by having a Meet & Greet even before our first booking. Mary is very patient and experienced. She asked me questions about Jiro, and tried to understand Jiro better. During the day, She sent me messages and photos telling me Jiro was doing great. She also took small video clips. Jiro had great time at Mary’s place, and I will definitely book again. Thank you, Mary!”


14. Trennedy K.

“Trennedy made Gracie’s first visit most enjoyable and makes it easier for us to leave our fur baby for a week starting the 13th.”


15. Vicki N.

“Outstanding host for our 1st Rover experience. Thank you for being so transparent and caring! Beautiful pictures were certainly a bonus!”


16. Stephanie P.

“I needed a sitter last minute, and so appreciated the prompt responses! I was able to have have peace of mind knowing Frank was in good hands.”




17. Fabiola A.
“I just had to add my experience of how well Fabiola cared for my pet, Gucci! Gucci is a rescue dog and needs a lot of attention and affection. So, at first I was hesitant to leave him for the weekend but Fabiola assured me that he would be in good hands and she would be able to give him all the love and attention he deserved. She checked in with me regularly to let me know, how Gucci was doing and when they had come back from a walk. I was never given a reason or even an opportunity to worry about him. I got to enjoy some time away and I think Gucci did too! When I returned, Gucci was happy and vibrant as ever :) I would definitely recommend Fabiola to care for anyone's pet.”


18. Kristy & Scott A.
“Kristy is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I saw first hand the love she gave and the responsible treatment she gave her dog Bruce for the 10 years of his life. I have never seen anybody love a dog more. Also, he had medical issues which she always dealt with without ever complaining. She would do anything for Bruce.”


19. Kathleen K.
“Kathi M. is a true dog lover! She has owned golden retrievers and walks her dogs typically three times each day. We have had her care for our dogs multiple times through the years and have been thrilled with the care that was provided. She walks our dog, provides great loving care, and encourages play with her dog. We couldn’t be happier with her care and love for our dogs.”
