“This is the second time my Velcro dog has stayed with Christine ;) Christine is a great communicator and always keeps me up to date on my pet. I feel like I can relax and know my precious pooch is being taken care with Christine ❤️ when I'm out of town!”
“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Nina continues to be awesome!! She let us know day by day how Winston was doing and anything she noticed. She takes such good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her!!”
“Amazing sitters! Jodee and AJ are super easy and lovely, lovely yard for my dog to play in which he doesn’t have at home. Sent pictures everyday with updates. At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!”
“Lauren worked with me and my very skittish old dog to keep up both very calm during his first post pandemic boarding experience. Her updates were funny and frequent. She totally gets him which isn't easy. Thank you Lauren!!”
“Luciana is so sweet and wonderful with my 14 yo Cavalier! As a bonus, our pups are twins of the same age and affection. We adore sweet Sophie.”
“This weekend was our first experience using Rover for a sitter for our pup, Maisie, and we couldn’t have asked for better than Alyce and her family to watch her! Alyce hosted us for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure that Maisie and her dog would get along, which really put our minds at ease. Over the course of her stay, we received several photos and videos of Maisie playing with the other dogs and with Alyce’s sons, and you could just tell she was having a fantastic time. She really liked the variety toys that Alyce keeps for the dogs and roaming the nice, fenced backyard! We appreciated Alyce’s consistent communication and we had no doubt that our dog was in great, responsible hands and also enjoying herself! We would definitely recommend booking with Alyce and are confident we’ll be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”
“Sush was great. It was my fur babies first time with their family, and they are absolutely dog friendly! Welcoming, fur baby ready home & attitude, and my shy little guy fur baby and also old lady fur baby had a great stay. Pictures & updates sent when requested & throughout the stay. My fur babies seemed like part of their family while there. Will come again! Thank you!”
“Laurie and Richard were amazing with my older little pup with anxiety. She loved her stay with them and they catered to her needs so well. The communication and updates were wonderful!”
“Mary was great without energetic young dog. She is very responsive and we loved getting the pictures of our dog having a good time with her. Thank you Mary!”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“Chulpan and her family are wonderful sitters to our big dog, Tito. He is loved and feels like he is still with family when he is there, and I am so grateful to have met them! They took special care to administer his various medications and this was greatly appreciated. Will continue to book with Chulpan!”
“Sandra did a great job boarding coconut! She gave me statuses and pictures everyday and he got to go on walks with another dog regularly. It was a wonderful experience for me and my fur baby! Try her out!”
“Fantastic! They sent great pictures and it looked like our dog was having a fantastic time! They also sent good updates on her behavior and how she was doing. Will definitely be boarding with them again! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”
“I am so grateful to have met a WONDERFUL dog sitter. After my dog’s meet and greet with V, I knew she was the sitter for me. I left my dog with V for four days and I felt so much peace. She is so kind and caring. She sent me daily pics and updates, which calmed my nerves. I will definitely be using her again for doggy daycare and short vacations.”
“Jade really enjoyed her time with Kelly! She came back very much herself and healthy without the runs (which she sometime will get from boarding and separation anxiety). It took her no time to adjust after being away from home for a week. Kelly sent atleast one update a day which was also very lovely to see 🙂.”
“Lizzie was great, my wife and I would definitely recommend her! Since moving to the area from Florida we have had a difficult time leaving our goldendoodle with just anyone especially since we were a little hesitant on using the Rover app. But Lizzie has made us feel so much more confident in it. Her constant updates and genuine care for our dog really showed. Making my wife and I not worry at all and allowing us to enjoy our time away. We can also tell that our pup really enjoyed her and Walter’s (Lizzie dog) company. We most definitely plan on using her services again.”
“Tina and her husband were absolutely incredible, flexible, kind and wonderful to my puppy. Super responsive and even was flexible enough to accommodate my last minute change. I could not recommend Tina enough, I would use her services again 100% and would recommend her to everybody!!!”
“Danny and Damaris are absolutely incredible. They made Max feel so comfortable and constantly provided feedback / updates throughout the stay. We’ll continue to regularly use them!”
