“So happy with the care and love Kelly gave to my girls while I was away on a trip. She was so thorough and asked lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed for the girls stay with her. She sent me pictures and videos every day. I can tell Willow and Juniper had a very nice time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!”
“Steven has taken great care of our dogs on a few separate occasions now. He sends daily photos and updates which our family loves to see when we are away. We are thankful to have found him!”
“Donna is absolutely amazing and wonderful with dogs. I know our babies had the best week with her! We would not hesitate to use her any time we need dog sitting!”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
“Our pup almost knocked down their door when we dropped him off. Needless to say he remembers being treated well while there and it makes us happy. Thanks Meaghan and Johnny!”
“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”
“I would highly reccomend for anyone who needs a dog sitter to use Colleen. She was very friendly and made us feel comfotable when we arrived. Her house is dog friendly. This was tge first rime I ever used a dog sitter and I was very pleased. She sent several pics of our dog happily enjoying herself and a fun video of my German Shepherd puppy playing with her dog. When I needed to extend the time she allowed us to extend a whold day. It was a great experience and I will use her again.”
“Brett is an amazing dog sitter! He has always taken great care of our dog when we are away. Brett goes above and beyond taking our dog on walks and sending pictures, and he is very undestanding. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maze and Luna!!!! Getting pictures everyday was wonderful!!!! I will definitely be using you in the future!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Shume was amazing from start to finish! Very professional and knowledgeable! Communication was perfect, and we had no worries the entire time we were away from our fur baby! For pet parents that care for the safety and comfort of their pets like they are truly your children, Shume is too if the list! We will book with her every chance we get!”
“It's never easy to find a new sitter when you move to a new area. We were so fortunate to find Diane through Rover. Honey is a loving and sweet dog, but nervous about new situations. Diane understood and went the second mile to care for her. What a blessing!”
“Trojan had a great time at Stephanie's house while we were on vacation for a week. She was great about sending us lots of pics and videos of Trojan and the other puppies enjoying the yard and playing. Stephanie and her daughters are a great family and I'm so glad we were able to leave our baby in such loving arms.”
“Ashley & Spencer were awesome hosts for my pup. I got pictures everyday and it looked like he was well taken care of. Their dog, Engy, was surely a great friend and made vacation extra fun for my dog. Great communication and very accommodating - I’ll be glad to have them hangout with my dog again in the future!”
“Danielle was an absolute lifesaver for us! My senior dog has anxiety, and has never stayed with a non-family member, so leaving her for 5 days was initially a bit daunting. However, Danielle was incredibly patient and understanding, and her calm demeanor really helped my pup settle in. Daily text updates and photos provided peace of mind. The photos clearly showed that she was comfortable and captured adorable moments of her relaxing. It was evident how well my dog was cared for. Danielle followed all instructions, and the home was clean. Booking is highly recommended!”
“Casper had a fantastic time with Becky and I never have to worry that he’s being taken care of. He loves playing with the other pups and came home so tired. And a tired puppy is a good puppy. 😂 Thank you Becky! He’ll be back.”

Athens dog parents share their Rover experiences
We can’t say enough good things about Shane, Kayla, and their family. Our two pups absolutely love staying with them! It’s such a relief to pick them up and see them so relaxed and happy; in the past, they’ve often seemed anxious after a stay with other dogsitters, but never with Shane and Kayla. It’s truly a "home away from home" for our dogs.
Hope was great with our baby! I was afraid Freckles would be difficult, because she can be a little grumpy with unfamiliar dogs. Hope was patient and introduced each dog one at a time. Freckles even made a friend with Dolly. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her. Her home was very clean and plenty of toys to play with.
Grace and her husband were the BEST Rover I’ve ever had!! Very intentional about socializing all dogs in the home, SUPER great at meeting any unique needs or requests, and even made a personalized Christmas ornament with a handmade picture of my pups!! HIGHLY recommend!! It always makes me more confident when my dogs look forward to arriving at a place, and they obviously LOVED their time with Grace.
