“Beth was so responsive and provided great detail into any message she sent regarding Ivan. I never once had to message her first to ask how he was doing. She made sure to send me lots of messages and lots of photos and I felt very comfortable leaving Ivan in her care. would highly recommend her I cannot say enough good things.”

“Ebony was a good communicator, very kind w our dog and gave us a nice note and special treats at the end. She sent us a video of our dog the first night and was quick to answer our inquiries about how he was doing. We would use Ebony again and highly recommend her.”

“We have a rescue dog who is very timid and takes a while to warm up to people. Sharon did an AMAZING job with him and made him feel right at home. She gave his medication without issue, and provided us lots of updates throughout our trip. She took the best care of our little guy and we are thrilled to have found her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sharon!!”

Crystal gave lots of feedback and sent pictures and even video of Dollie! I would be happy to have her watch my ‘baby’ again! Clair T.”

“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!”

“Carla is awesome, we were unsure about rover.com but not anymore, her sending us pics of our dog playing with hers and her family made us feel better about unexpectedly having to leave him for 4 days, i'll never use anything else but this site, Carla and her family rock!!!!”

“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”

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.
