“Thank you Karen and your beautiful family for treating Bentley so kindly and well during his time with you all I truly appreciate all the updates and wonderful pictures daily sent to me I will definitely continue to use your services going forth 🤍”


“This was our first time using Rover, and it couldn’t have gone more perfectly thanks to Barnabas! We were visiting from across the country and he accepted our last minute booking over the holidays. Our dog gets nervous when first meeting people, but Barnabas was very understanding and made our boy feel at ease. He sent daily updates and photos. If we lived in the state, or are ever back in the area, we would most definitely recommend or rebook with him. Thank you!”


“Lauren was excellent! She has a true passion for animals, which becomes immediately apparent from the first time you meet her. She treated Harper with the same love and care that her own animals get. She walks the dogs frequently and far, so they get plenty of exercise time. Her dog poppy is very laid back and gets along great with other dogs, even when ours doesn’t at first. She was great with sending pictures and keeping us updated on their daily walks and lounge time. If you want peace of mind that your pet is safe and having a lot of fun, look no further for a sitter!”


“Christy really cares about the well-being and happiness of the dogs she sits. She shared lots of pictures of our baby as the days passed by as well as shared any fun moments.”


“Very BEST family ever to dog sit if you are looking for someone that will take totally great care of your pets! This family is it for me and I am so grateful I tried them out because ever since I have nothing but good things to say about them and I know how much they care about pets and take such good care of them!! Wonderful people who do great job!! Alway flexible with my short notice and schedule which is so important for me! I’m very appreciative of the flexibility!!”


“Lynn consistently shared photos and updates from the moment we left our dog, Teddy with her which really reassured us while we were away. It was obvious that was Teddy was comfortable, happy, and was having fun the entire time. We truly felt he was in the best hands. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“Alex was AMAZING! A MUCH better experience than my first Rover experience! She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day and Riggins looked like he was always having fun, which was such a relief! I have no doubt she treated Riggins like he was her own. We will definitely be booking her again!”


“They were great. My dog didn’t even seem ready to go. He is an older dog and I really wanted him to feel comfortable. He seemed so comfortable on all of the photos they sent me. He even got to go on a hike, it was well needed bonus for him. Will definitely be using them again.”


“Emily was wonderful and kind. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her for the weekend. She kept in touch regularly and sent photo updates, which I greatly appreciated”


“I’m so happy with my pup’s stay with Kay! I was gone for several days, so Sammy had a longer stay than usual with a sitter. Kay really went above and beyond to make sure Sammy felt comfortable and treated him like part of the family! I never had to worry about how he was doing - Kay sent me multiple messages and photos every day with updates on how he was doing that day. I would highly recommend using Kay as a sitter and will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“I had to leave my 5 months old dog for a week and very hesitant until I met Laura. We were able to have peaceful vacation knowing that Cookie is on good hands. I am so glad that I found a lovely family on Rover and would be able to plan for any vacation without worrying about Cookie.”


“We have a loving but attention hogging pug and he got all the attention he needed here and then some! We loved seeing regular photo updates and knowing that we could reach out at anytime to see how things were going. Our pug Bruce came home happy and tired! Very happy with Tre and will definitely be back!”


“Elsy was amazing! I booked her last minute and she was more than happy to accommodate my Junebug. She kept me updated on how my puppy was doing and sent lots of pics and cute videos! This was perfect because I always get separation anxiety from my Junebug. I definitely recommend Elsy to anyone with a fur baby! They will be well taken care of and have lots of fun play time! I will most absolutely be booking Elsy for future stays. Thank you, Elsy!”


“This was my second time booking with Karrla, and my dogs Oakley and Charlie absolutely love her! She’s reliable, caring, and treats them like her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”


“Janet was amazing, going above a beyond our expectations of a dog sitter. As a late request, she was able to pick up/drop off our dogs from our house. While she was there, our cats (that she was not sitting) had a few accidents on our floor. While she was dropping my dogs off, she picked up the accidents that were made by our other animals. I would highly recommend her and her services!”


“Rebecca is amazing! She loves dogs and it shows. Our baby had a wonderful time playing with Briar and her family. She communicated regularly and we knew he was in great hands. We will definitely ask her to watch Chico again in the future 💕”


“Max was amazing. We dropped off our 3 month old puppy, Huevito, and were pretty anxious since he’s still so young and on a strict routine. Max immediately put us at ease by sending videos of Huevito and his own pup wrestling and playing in the yard. He followed Huevito’s schedule exactly as we’d laid it out, which was such a relief. It was clear Huevito had a great time - not just playing, but also learning how to be a good dog under Max’s care. He even helped desensitize Huevito to blow dryers so he won’t be scared at the groomer, and he kept up with his kennel training too. When we picked him up, he was freshly bathed with his nails clipped. Now that he’s back home with us, we can tell that he’s happy, tired, and clearly had a good time with Max.”


“I almost don’t want to write a review because I want to keep Krystina to myself! She was such a great mom to our little fur baby. She sent pics and loved on him so we didn’t worry at all. Her daughter is great with dogs too. Love her!!”
