“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”

“Ebony was wonderful. Responded very quickly and made sure I was updated about my dog throughout my trip. My dog was extremely comfortable with her the entire time.”

“Sharon took very good care of my dog Bear for the week I was gone and Wesley was a great friend for her as well. She is very understanding and flexible when I got delayed due to a snowstorm. I can’t recommend her enough as someone who will take care of your fur babies as her own and leave you with no worries!”

“This was my very first time boarding coco so I was very nervous about leaving her but Heather made me and coco feel like family ! She was very attentive with pictures and keeping me updated on her progress during the stay. Coco is a diabetic so there was an extra layer of anxiety with that but again Heather was very much on top of things which allowed me to have a great weekend away without worrying. I will definitely use her services again.”

“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”

“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”

“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”

“Crystal was Absolutely Amazing with our Geddy Lee!!! We were nervous about leaving him because he is still a puppy but Crystal and her entire family treated Geddy like one of their own!!! Geddy was able to run around and play with her dog in their fenced in back yard as much as he wanted!!! We received several pictures and/or videos with comments daily!!! Crystal was very informative and answered any questions we may have had about how Geddy was doing anytime we asked!!! My Husband and I went on vacation but in our opinion so did Geddy!!! We would not hesitate to book with Crystal again in the future hoping that she will be able to watch him again!!!!”

“It was my first time using Rover. My 8 year old dog had only ever stayed with family. Mariah was very nice and did a great job. She sent multiple updates and pictures during my trip and made me feel very comfortable with everything. I will definitely use her again 😊”

“Megan was such an awesome sitter! She was communicative, reassuring with photo updates, accommodating with our last-minute request & took such great care of our pups. Highly recommend and would book again!”

“We needed a boarding sitter for our sweet Minnie girl on pretty short notice, due to a death in the family. Stefan was absolutely fabulous and took such good care of her! He didn’t mind at all giving her eye drops and medications and changing her diapers frequently. You can tell he loves dogs and he was so happy to have our little 10lb Minnie for the three days we were gone. And Minnie was a happy girl while while she was there; she especially loved the ability to roam in his fenced in back yard, which we do not have!! I will definitely contact him first when we need boarding again!”


“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how sweet, kind, and genuinely caring they are—not just toward people, but especially toward animals. My dog felt comfortable right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. They were attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It’s obvious they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat the dogs in their care. I could tell my dog was happy, well cared for, and even a little spoiled with attention! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”

“They took really good care of Casper! They kept us as updated as possible. They were really accommodating especially for a last minute booking! We can’t thank the enough!”

“Daisy is always happy when she goes to Daniel and Sarah’s. They send us pictures and we can tell Daisy is having a good time! We appreciate them greatly.”

“Heather & Chris were absolutely amazing! We were super concerned about our dogs being around other dogs but they settled in for a 9 day stay very quickly. All 3 dogs looked happy and well taken care of. They will definitely be staying with Heather again if a sitter is needed”

“Jared and Waverly were amazing. I was in a pinch with a regular sitter being unexpectedly unavailable and they were able to take my dog with not a lot of notice. They sent lots of pictures and updates and it was so clear that our dog was well cared for and so happy and the good kind of exhausted from his stay with them. We will absolutely book with them again!”

“Robin took great care of my girls. She took special care to be sure she had all the details to make them feel right at home. She communicated and sent pictures both days I was gone. I am very pleased with their stay and will definitely use her again.”

Avondale Melbourne Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachael was great! We had a last minute cancellation with our normal sitter and were in a bind and decided to try out Rover. Rachael helped to put us at ease by answering all my questions prior to booking. She was great at communicating and sent daily updates! We will definitely be using her again.

Daniela was amazing! She updated us daily with pictures, kept us in the loop on activities and was always quick to respond. Our pooch came back in great spirits and may have even been a little sad to be home, hah! I can't recommend Daniela more highly, we will certainly work with her again.

Brooke did a wonderful job with my two fur baby. She sent lots of pictures, keeping me up to date with their active. She was also very flexible when I needed to alter drop off or pick up. She was very fast replying to all communications. I will definitely be using her again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience leaving Bentley, our Maltipoo, with this wonderful sitter for 10 days. We’re always nervous about boarding Bentley, but Sarah completely put our minds at ease—and then some! From the moment we met, it was clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She welcomed our energetic dog with open arms, and by the end of the stay, she and her family had completely fallen in love with her and she with them. We received adorable photos of her during her stay which warmed our hearts and put our minds at ease. Bentley came home happy, healthy, tired in the best way (from all the love and playtime). Sarah went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, we wholeheartedly recommend Sarah.
