Maria followed all of our instructions and we felt really comfortable leaving Luna with her. We’ll definitely be using Maria again!”

“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“Sofia was amazing and super communicative! She loved on my dog so much and made me feel super comfortable leaving her for a long trip abroad. Plus, my dog and her dog got along great as well!

We know he's in great hands with Ponyo, and appreciate for everything that she's done for our pup.”

“Spot says his first visit with Tracy went very well! He’ll be back next week for several days too. He thought she was kind and attentive to his needs. Her backyard was a real treat! Plus the neighborhood walk was safe and pretty with good smells. Spot slept well too. Tracy communicated with me well. Was great about getting information to keep Spot safe and happy.”

“Ningning is a great sitter, and her own dog, Chase, is a sweetie. She provided lots of walks and playtime for our active dog, Murphy, and accommodated Murphy’s schedule even though it didn’t align with her usual one. Chase was a wonderful companion to Murphy as well! She sent lots of pictures and videos of their activities and the dogs playing together. 10/10!!”

“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”

“Joey had the most wonderful stay with Debra! She was so kind and sweet, and understood Joey’s needs as a senior citizen pup. As he’s an old pup his legs are a bit weak; Debra went the extra mile to set up a carpet path and extra bedding to make sure he was comfortable and could walk around. She sent consistent updates and lots of photos. Truly made Joey feel welcome and was the best experience we could have ever had!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballard
Justine and Zak were fabulous caregivers for our two old labs. The dogs loved having so much space to sniff as well as other dogs with whom to play. Justine and Zak shared tons of photos and videos and our puppies were clearly having a ball. We would definitely use them again and would recommend them to other puppy parents.

My Frenchie Lulu and I were so lucky to connect with Amanda and Noah and their family! Lulu is a little quirky and sensitive— thankfully a stubborn and silly little Frenchie is just up Amanda’s alley-she’s VERY experienced with them! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands, and they sent plenty of pictures and updates. I will absolutely book again, and highly recommend!

I can't recommend Daniel enough! He's thoughtful, trustworthy, and cared for my dog like his own. During the multi week boarding, he constantly kept me updated and I didnt have to worry about my dog at all. Even when my dog had an unexpected hot spot on his paw, Daniel went above and beyond to regularly treat the issue, offered to take my dog to the vet at a moments notice, and more. Definitely will be requesting Daniels help in the future.
