“I'm so thankful to have found Bobby! My dog can be very anxious in new places but had a great day at Bobby's with his two pups, he made me feel so comfortable at our meet & greet and drop off and will definitely be taking my dog back!”


“Nicole was fantastic! Our pup was very happy, and we got frequent sweet updates throughout the week. Nicole's dog was great with ours, and they went to the park together often. Nicole also bathed our dog when he rolled in the mud and he came back smelling great! 10/10 would recommend, we will be asking for her help next time we are away!”


“I cannot recommend Angela highly enough! She was exceptionally loving and attentive to my fur baby/Shih Tzu, treating her like her own. It was clear from the start how much care and effort Angela put into making sure my fur baby felt comfortable and happy. I received regular updates, including pictures and notes, which gave me such peace of mind. My fur baby returned home relaxed and well cared for. Thank you for going above and beyond—you're truly amazing at what you do, Angela!”


“Jeffrey took wonderful care of Coda. It was Coda’s first time being cared for by someone outside of our family. Jeffrey sent us updates and pictures. I think Coda was torn between coming back home with us and staying with Jeffrey. She enjoyed her vacation too:) We highly recommend Jeffrey and will be booking with him again.”



“Wonderful, kind, and adaptable. I made a last minute reservation and extended my Rolo's stay. She kept me updated. Rolo was a happy boy, will definitely be using her again.”


“Tux always has the best time with Aubrey! He comes home relaxed and happy, and we can go away knowing he's in great hands. She does an excellent job communicating and sending pictures the entire time he's in her care. We'd recommend her to anyone!!”


“Kanade and her husband were such amazing sitters for my 2.5 year old Pom mix, Marsha. They treated her like she was one of their own and were so communicative with me. I'll definitely asking Kanade to watch her again soon. Thank you again!”


“Katie was awesome! Super responsive, helped me out when I was in a pinch and needed a sitter, and was so good with Wrigley! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“Nicole & Eric were awesome !! They kept us informed the whole time we were away and had a great sense of humor that made us feel at ease. After returning we noticed a big difference in our dog Tuna's behavior in a very positive way.”


“She took great care of Berlin. Very good communication ,very flexible and kind. I recommend her 100%. I will contact her again if I need someone to take care of my baby.”


“Christina took excellent care of our young dog. He has a lot of energy and she kept up with him! From her updates , we could tell he was very happy and well taken care of in her house. We highly recommend Christina!”


“Holy cow, Annette and Martin, I never came back to the site to review Ozzie's stay last month! It was great!! He was so very happy and we are so grateful for the care and love you showed him. I never worried about him for a minute of our very long vacation, and appreciated every photo and video you shared with us. Again, so sorry for this delay. Please know that we so value your wonderful treatment of our little guy.”


“This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting and Nicole couldn’t have been a better choice! She is well experienced with a wide range of dogs and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. She kept me updated and took great care of my pup. Thanks Nicole!”


“Kevin is a friendly, welcoming down to earth person who appears to be a natural around dogs. He took good care of my Mikee boy; that’s all that really mattered to me! I will absolutely request Kevin next time I visit the area.”


“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”


“Rachel was wonderful! We had a meet and greet for our pups and was sold on Mazzi’s chill personality. Rachel kept us updated with daily photos and videos of his walks and treat times. She was wonderfully communicative about concerns and had a great setup for the dog.”


“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”


“Brian did an amazing job taking care of my Frenchie for four days, and impressively in the dead of summer, for the first time and on short notice. I got updates and picked up a happy, calm, playful pup! Thank you!”


“Jai-Lynne was an absolute pleasure! She was more than attentive to Charles and sent me multiple updates throughout the day. Will definitely be using her again.”


“Leah (and family) were AWESOME sitters for our Franklin!!! So accommodating when I forgot to book his stay until last minute! Leah kept us updated with photos everyday which we adored. Highly recommend, we will definitely be booking for all future needs!!!”

Barrington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura was Great with Leo !!! First of all Was first time with this app was very nervous , sent out few request and she was the one , first ask for a meet and greet which was great !!!! And all good from there , Always answer and sent pictures and let me know how my baby Leo was doing ! I appreciate all of that!! Would totally rebook with her in the future ❤️

Did a great job to make my dogs feel comfortable and at home. One is kinda skiddish but he warmed up immediately. Would recommend to others and book again for sure.

Always 1000% great, and just as good or better as Quincy being at home. So very much appreciated and highly recommended.

Monica and Conrad know exactly what they’re doing. We loved the updates they gave to us. Their dog Pongo makes for a great host too. I will absolutely be going back to them in the future.

Jenny is an amazing dog sitter. I received communication and photos throughout each day. Our Shiba Inu was very well cared for by Jenny and her husband. I would highly recommend Jenny!

Heather was fantastic! From our first meeting I knew our girl would be in good hands. She sent pictures and videos daily and was so easy to communicate with. We will actually look forward to going away next time knowing she’ll be with Heather and her sweet dog, Goose!!

Susan is very sweet and was very patient with our feisty and anxious Brawny! She kept us posted and sent pictures every day. We would love her to take care of him again. Thanks Susan!

Rich was great - I contacted him for a last minute overnight and he accommodated us without any issues. It was Stanley's first overnight in someone else's house and everything went very smoothly and Stanley came home happy. We will definitely be using Rich in the future!

We boarded our 8 year old whippet with Elijah for a full week & it went great! We got daily updates with pictures & our doggie was so happy when she was dropped off and was picked up.

Stephanie took great care of our senior dog for 3 days and 2 nights while we were away. In addition to feeding and walking her, Stephanie also gave her medication and wiped her skin per our vets orders. Our girl was very comfortable for her stay! Thank you, Stephanie!

Megan took such good care of my Gracie. She is 11 and a half and her anxiety has been bad the past few months. It's hard for me to leave her. Every picture Megan sent me of Gracie she looked calm and happy. It meant so much to me to see her sleeping next to her dog, Bonnie. I give Megan and her family and of course, Bonnie a 10 out of 10!

Alexis watched our pup Cindy for 6 days. Alexis was very responsive and sent frequent updates and pictures. Cindy got along with her mom’s dog Boots. Alexis also left a few new toys for Cindy that she really likes. Would book again.

I have used Meg and Ryan on numerous occasions and my dog has received nothing but the best care. I appreciate their kindness and compassion.
