“We had one of the best boarding experiences on Rover! We had a sudden change of trip plan that put us in a tight scheduling spot but Tara and her family were extremely kind to accommodate a last-minute request for boarding our five-year-old Border Collie. Our family was able to enjoy our trip worry-free trip due to Tara's frequent text updates about Astor, accompanied by photos and videos of him looking relaxed and happy. We look forward to visiting Tara and her family again!”

“Griffin, our 2 year old English Cocker Spaniel, had a wonderful weekend at Cara’s! Griffin is very high-energy and can be needy, so we appreciate Cara’s attentiveness and providing a fun, safe, and comfortable place for him to stay. We received a couple photo updates each day which was great. We hope to use Cara again in the future!”
“This was my first experience using Rover. What a wonderful experience it was knowing my lil man was very well taken care of in the comfort of a loving home. Will definitely be using Julie again on our next trip. Thank you for taking such great care of Brodi and for all the updates and photos during his stay💙”

“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Our dog Mabel had the time of her life. We received updates throughout each day with pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away.

Definitely will contact them again when I'm in the area.”

Olivia was so incredibly sweet and patient with Nala! She went above and beyond by meeting with me several times before our trip to make sure Nala felt as comfortable as possible in a new environment. She also communicated frequently throughout the weekend and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my girl! Olivia’s love for animals is so evident, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine love, patience, and care! ❤️🐾
Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
This is the first time we availed Anirudh Sai for our pet. Our pet settled well with them and We also felt very comfortable after our initial visit with them. The bonding was mutual between them & our pet. He shared pictures and videos and updated us about his stay. We would recommend them and will be using their services in near future.
I cannot recommend Irv highly enough! From the very beginning, his organized nature and flexibility made the entire booking and drop-off process a breeze. He made sure to keep us fully updated before the stay even began, which gave us so much peace of mind right out of the gate. During the stay, Irv’s attention to detail truly shined. He sent consistent, thorough updates and photos, showing exactly how well he was taking care of Daisy. It was clear that she was in fantastic hands, getting plenty of love, and having a great time. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative sitter, Irv is your guy. We would absolutely book with him again!
"I am so glad I found her to watch Simba! She provided amazing in-home care, took him out for great walks, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and professional. I felt so relieved knowing Simba was safe and happy in his own home. I will definitely be booking her again!"
Heidi was my first sitter using Rover and made it a super easy and reassuring experience for both me and Reese! She was so great at sending photos, letting me know how she was doing with fun updates, and made sure that Reese was enjoying herself all weekend. Winston is also a great dog-host and so sweet to help host!
