“Sarah is a responsive and kind sitter who is really good with dogs! She came for a meet and greet with her dog to make sure I felt comfortable upfront and was accommodating spitting sit dates with my neighbor.”
“Sarah was so great with Blue! She was so sweet, spent a lot of time with him, making sure he had walks, play and everything he needed. It was obviously that he loved her and his stay at her house. Her communication was clear and frequent - overall we had a great experience”
“My dogs loved being over at Rose’s place again for the week! They got to spend time with her own pup Sunshine and a couple of other dogs she was watching too. One of my dogs didn’t even want to leave. Rose was even sweet enough to give them both a bath on their last day so they were smelling fresh going home.”
“Elijah was communicative and took the time to meet and learn about my dog. My pup was happy and well taken care of. Will definitely be requesting Elijah in the future.”
“Our dog was excited to check things out as soon as we arrived! We received nice updates and she came back with a full smile. We’ll definitely request Patches next time we travel!”
“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”
“Jazzsminn took great care of my pup! She is gifted with animals and very passionate. She made me feel very at ease while she boarded my dog for a long stay. Jazz was also very accommodating when I had a last minute booking. I will definitely be a return customer!”
“Mary was absolutely outstanding with our pup! From her last-minute availability when we were in a pinch for the holiday to her daily check-in photos and messages, Mary couldn’t have been better for Indy. We absolutely will use Mary again in the future. She went above and beyond to make our pup (and us!) feel comfortable and welcomed for her entire stay. Thank you so much, Mary!!”
“We couldn’t have been happier during our experience with Cassandra and Jason. They were very friendly, super responsive and brought such a positive energy for our pup to live in. Highly recommended!”
“Marissa was a wonderful host to my girl. I get frequent updates, pictures, and videos of my pup playing and looking happy as a clam. I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!”
“Walle and Eva had a great time spending the week with Sarah! Great communication, photo updates and pick up/drop off. My pups had a wonderful time and were well taken care of - making a peaceful vacation away possible. Highly recommend!”
“Hanna totally rocks! From the very start in booking, to picking up my dog, she was wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and continually sent fun updates to keep me posted. I highly suggest Hanna for a 5-star experience :)”
“Chikoo had such a great stay! Lots of walks, breaks, cuddles and engagement for him and a lot of pics for me 🙂 Highly recommend for anyone looking for their fur baby to have a great time!”
“We had an amazing experience having Madeline board our dog while we were out of the country for thanksgiving week. She was so friendly and responsive throughout his stay; it was reassuring to get regular updates and know our dog was in great hands and was being kept busy. I actually think our dog was a little bummed to be leaving her when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
Austin pet parents share their Rover experiences
Star sitter! My pups are typically quite anxious with new folks and have come back from sitters very clearly stressed. Never the case with Jen - they were happy and clearly having the time of their lives. Jen is wonderful with communicating / daily updates & photos and very generous with flexibility for my work schedule. Thank you for being such an angel to them - we will 100% be back!
Allison was great with Churro. She took him on lots of walks, spent time playing with him, and clearly gave him a lot of attention and care. She also sent frequent pictures throughout the day, which made us feel really good knowing he was in great hands. I’d absolutely book with Allison again for Churro. Thank you so much, Allison!
I have never left my dog at a rover before, and Bassam made me feel much more comfortable with the experience. My dog is 10 months old and she had a great time (even as a small 18 pound pup) plenty of time outdoors and once a day I’d get pictures and an update. She even was cuddled at night instead of in her crate!! Would totally bring my pup back here again :)
JoJo was the most amazing sitter for our 2 dogs!! Her communication was excellent and her care was top notch!!! We left our Peaches and Maggie with her for a full 7 days and last night they were actually pouting that they were back home. they've never done that before so we know they had the times of their lives!! 1000 STARS wouldn't be enough
Boarding Penny Lane with Nicolle was awesome. Seamless experience overall, drop off and pickup were smooth and easy to coordinate. Nicolle took great care of my chihuahua, sometimes a challenging breed. My pup has a lot of character and was a little standoffish and snippy at first. Nicolle was patient and communicative with me so we could figure out a wya to get Penny Lane’s harness on/off so she could go outside. Thank you for taking great care, Nicolle! Will definitely book with you again :)
Jessica was amazing with Drax. He and Sebastian seemed to have done well together, and Jessica was so nice about sending lots of updates and pictures to me every day. She was super understanding when we had to come by to drop off more food for the week, and remained flexible with our schedules. I would absolutely book with Jessica (and Sebastian) again.
