“Monica is absolutely awesome! She is so kind and sent lots of funny updates when I was out of town to keep me in the loop. My dog was all smiles when I picked him up. He slept for like 2 days straight after getting home so they must have stayed busy & had lots of fun lol. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the future. Thanks again!”
“A C was able to accommodate my last minute request to watch Obie and they sent pictures and took really good care of him while we were away. Will definitely book again with them!”
“Kane had another great stay with Steven while I was out of town. Great communication, provides photos and videos. I’ll continue to book with Steven anytime I’m on vacation. Thanks again!”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“10/10 stars!! I would absolutely try boarding/cat sitting with Hali in the future. I was considerably nervous as it was the first time my cat would ever spend a night away from me. Hali made sure to keep me updated with plenty of pictures and videos of Wednesday during her stay! My cat is an anxious girl, so I appreciated the effort and patience Hali had with her. Hali was also very considerate about the fact that my cat gets anxious around dogs, and thankfully was able to provide Wednesday with a space of her own! Overall, I’m very happy with the quality of care Wednesday received and would definitely recommend booking with Hali.”
“Blue had a great stay at Vicki and William’s house! They are both so kind and I felt no worries at all when leaving him in their care. The amount of communication, updates, and photos are amazing and are so helpful when I miss my pup. Their dog Bentley is also very sweet so I’m glad Blue has a friend!”
“I cannot begin to describe how good it was to deal with Rahied. And I’m pretty confident coming home will be a bit of a letdown for Pax 😉. I hope to have reason to do business again.”
“Sogol just watched our senior dog for six nights while we were on vacation. She was extremely helpful from the moment we reached out and kept us informed with messages and photos throughout the stay. She is very personable and warm and has a clear love for animals. We will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Jonah and Casey took great care of Starr on are first weekend leaving her home. They asked all the right questions and kept in touch everyday we were away. I really was able to enjoy myself knowing she was in good hands!”
“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”
“Andrew & Linh did an outstanding job keeping me posted with Ruby’s care throughout her stay with comments, pics and videos! This was my first time having them watch her, and I will definitely ask again if I’m out of town!”
“Sadie was greatly taken care of for the three nights she stayed with Erica and her husband. They treated her like one of their own and she had so much fun with Mav that she seemed a little depressed when we brought her home. We received daily updates with photos and videos, which made our son very happy. Highly recommend!”
“Linda was amazing! She sent daily updates of how our doggie was doing and sent plenty of photos. She was very communicative and conscientious, and you can tell she really loves dogs and is dedicated to providing a great experience for them. Bandit loved his stay at her home!”

Birmingham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dianne exceeded my expectations. This was my first time using Rover, and I was apprehensive about leaving my dog with strangers. However, I decided to try it because my dog, Saffron, has been extremely stressed out when I've left her at her usual boarding facility. My worries were quickly put to ease when I met her and Judi during our Meet & Greet session, and again when I brought Saffron to their home yesterday. Right away, Saffron made herself queen of their domain, and I could tell she felt comfortable with them. I had no concerns about leaving her with them overnight. Dianne kept me updated on Saffron throughout the evening, sending both pictures and video, as well as text updates. Saffron enjoyed lots of walks, snuggling with them on the couch, and cuddling at night. When they say one of them is home 24/7, they mean it. They accommodated her small size and advanced age by placing foam stairs at their sofas and bed so she could whiz up and down. When I picked her up today, while she was happy to see me, she also continued to snuggle with them and prance around their home even while I was there. I could tell she bonded with them. I will bring her again soon for a week-long visit and have zero qualms about them watching Saffron again. Even though we had to make a long trek from our home to theirs (over an hour due to construction), it was worth it. I'd drive three hours each way to bring Saffron to them. This is so much better suited for her than boarding her in a kennel. She truly thrived in their care and was fully doted on.
Anna was a wonderful pet sitter. Ozzy stayed with her for the first time for 3 days and he truly didn’t want to leave. He genuinely missed Anna and her dog when we took him home. She sent multiple pictures each day so that I could see how content he was. I will definitely be booking Anna again and highly recommend her.
Christina and her family were the perfect fit for my frenchie Coco. They went above and beyond to make her part of their family and Coco had the best time. Christina sent lots of photos and updates and was overall great with communication! We are so happy to have found such a reliable and great sitter for our girl.
Heidi once again was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our sweet dog while we were away! She’s so thorough and sends so many updates. Copper always looks so so happy there! So grateful for Heidi and all her help with Copper, we always know she’s in the best care at Heidi’s!
Casey is an amazing dog boarder! She went above and beyond by walking my dog even more than I do at home. I loved receiving the photo updates throughout the stay—it really gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for. Her house is warm and cozy, and my dog clearly felt right at home. I highly recommend Casey and would absolutely book with her again!
