1. Ashley B.
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of Bowie. We were totally at ease knowing he was having the best time playing with other dogs and walks on the trails. Thanks!”
2. Amanda T.
“Amanda did great with Mia and working with my schedule. She is flexible if needed. I had to give a three day notice I was leaving for a couple of days and she gladly booked mia to stay. Mia enjoyed playing with all the doggies and I received photos every day. Will definitely book again.”
3. Shelbi Lynne V.
“Wow wow wow Shelbi was extremely wonderful. We had just moved to the area and she is who we found to take care of our doggo, Pepper. She was very thorough and detail oriented throughout Pepper’s whole stay. We got daily pictures, some reassuring words of how she was doing, she washed Pepper’s bed before going home and she even gave us a huge bag of really nice treats (Pepper very much approves)! Honestly the best experience we have had on Rover thus far, and we will be recommending Shelbi to anyone who needs someone to love your doggo while you’re away.”
4. Corinne V.
“This was Mauis first night at a new place without people he knew! Corinne and her family took very good care of him. I needed a sitter very last minute and she offered to watch him! I was not having much luck with that, so it was very much appreciated! Her kids helped take extra care and made sure he was comfortable, which I thought was so sweet🩵 The extra good byes to Maui as we were leaving from the kids was precious and I knew he was in good hands! Definitely would recommend and thank you again for taking care of my baby, the updates and making me feel at ease to go have fun!”
5. Hawken J.
“Hawken was great with my pup. Has a large backyard for exploring. Sent tons of pics from walks and hikes. I could tell she was loving every second!”
6. Gloria & Maxwell L.
“Gloria is fantastic. She loves animals, is knowledgeable, and is genuinely concerned for the well-being of all the dogs. Our pups had a great time and we got regular updates on their day, along with pictures. Will definitely call her again!”
7. Letticia R.
“she has kept my dog Wilder on two separate occasions now. She is communicative, very professional, has taken wonderful care of him, and sends photos of my dog that sometimes makes me downright jealous that he likes her more than me! I cannot speak highly enough about Letticia”
8. Joy G.
“Joy absolutely went above and beyond in caring for my dogs. I first utilized her services to walk my dogs and then they boarded with her in her home for a little over a week. I loved getting quality photos with each update she sent me. My dogs truly were treated as her own, and it showed in their smiley faces. I can tell they miss their adoptive family already! I could not have asked for a better caregiver for my fur-babies. I wish I could give her more stars in this review! I absolutely recommend her.”
9. Kerri & Julian T.
“From start to finish Kerri & Julian were the best in communicating and understanding just what I needed. Unfortunately during my travels in Alaska, I had to put down my senior dog Barkley of 14 years. I knew it could happen any day but even so, we truly are never ready to say goodbye. His passing made me hesitant & worried about leaving my cat 🐈⬛ Bobby. Barkley & the cat were the best of friends so I felt deeply apprehensive about it. Both Julian & Kerri gave him all the needed L♥️VE & ATTENTION to make him feel at home. In the end Bobby made friends quickly with their cat, Willy. I would highly recommend them with your fur babies and I cannot thank them enough!!”
10. Brianna A.
“Brianna is our go to dog sitter now! She is knowledgeable about how to handle a diverse group of dogs and about their behavior! She keeps us informed several times a day and expresses extreme patience with introduction of new dogs. Therefore, we recommend with no reservations and feel very comfortable with her having our furry family member!”
11. Sierra H.
“Sierra was great at giving updates the whole time she was watching Chevy. I can tell he had a great time. Would definitely love for her to watch Chevy again. Highly recommend!”
12. Whitney B.
“Whitney and her husband are absolutely amazing. They clearly care about the dogs that come to stay with them. They went the extra mile to take care of our pup while she was recovering from a hurt paw. They even threw a birthday party for her on her special day. Photos, videos, and an update every morning and evening. Couldn't ask for better people to look after our girl.”
13. Huw & Jolynne M.
“My little sheepdog had a wonderful time with Huw and Jolynne. They are kind, patient and attentive to my dog who can be a little bit of a handful. Would recommend. Means a lot to know my dog is cared for while I am away.”
14. Steven C.
“Our King Charles Cavalier, Charlie, boarded with Steven C. for four nights. Charlie was well taken care of and enjoyed his time with the family. I highly recommend this pet sitter. He sent pictures and videos often, so I knew Charlie was having a great time and being taken care of in our absence. Steven was my back-up sitter as our regular sitter was out of town. I would definitely use Steven again if our regular sitter is unavailable in the future. We did do a "Meet & Greet" before I left Charlie as I am very particular about who I leave him with while we travel.”
15. Sheila N.
“Shiela was so amazing, she listened to all of my “helicopter mom” concerns enthusiastically and took amazing care of our pup. Her puppy is well trained and was a great companion to our 10 year old mix. Book her before she becomes the most popular dog sitter on Rover!”
16. Katelyn B.
“Honestly, I can’t say enough good about Kate. Her interactions with all animals, specifically dogs in this case, are nothing but respectful. I have four dogs including an 8 and 6 year old Karelian Bear Dog, a 4 year old Pit Bull, and 1 year old Border Collie. Each of them just seems to love her and a dog’s endorsement sure goes a long way in my book!”
17. Makenzie H.
“Our Lab Nellie had a wonderful stay with Makenzie. I received daily updates with pictures. Makenzie gave Nellie a bath when she had stayed a while as well as clipped her nails. In the end, I received a sheet with all the info on Nellie’s stay. A for Nellie’s behavior and I think Makenzie earns an A for awesome dog sitter. ❤️”
18. Ciel H.
“Got daily updates. Our family pet was treated as family with Ciel. She was very kind and was very informative. She did well with outdoor time and hanging out with other mammals. Would recommend and will try first to stay again when the need arises.”
19. Tina H.
“Tina was a great dog sitter for my 2 pups. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures. She was very flexible when unexpected circumstances come up with my planned return date. Tina had prompt responses to all of my messages, and she went out of her way to make the pups feel at home. I recommend her for your dog sitting needs and will be using her in the future!”
20. Joanny S.
“Joanny and her husband took such great care of our dog bear. We were anxious leaving him with someone new (our old dog sitter moved and we moved), but Joanny frequently sent pictures of her and Bear’s adventures making us feel better. You can tell she really loves dogs and loves doing what she does. We will def use her as our dog sitter again!”
