“She was great eith Leo, kept me updated with pictures. My little guy came home do tired, which means he had fun and lots of activity. Thank you, will use Megan again.”

“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”

“Cheryle is a great dog-sitter. Her house is well set-up for a little dog, with low couches, ramps and lots of cozy spots. Her dachsund was a great companion for my dog, Roscoe. Roscoe came home calm and happy after 5 days at Cherlye's. He was on a variety of meds for a sore back and she managed all those well and took great care of him.”


“Samantha was a great host for my senior lab. It was so easy to communicate with her and she was very available throughout the stay and prior. She sent me updates and gave me great peace of mind while i was apart from my pup. I would recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a responsible and caring host for their furry children.”

“Mellysa was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Juniper! She kept her over Thanksgiving and made sure we knew what Junie was up to the whole time. Mellysa sent adorable photos and videos several times a day, let Junie sleep with her, and just made sure she was safe and happy. Mellysa’s home is safe, her yard is fenced, her pups are friendly. We were able to relax and not worry about our Junie at all, even knowing that she usually hates being away from us. We can’t recommend Mellysa strongly enough and we’ll definitely use her in the future! 🙏”

“My dog loved staying with Serhii and Olesia. Since this was her first time staying with them, they sent me lots of photos. I knew she was having a good time because she had a big smile in her face. She came home calm and happy. I will definitely be sending her to stay with them again!”
“AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC !!!! That’s the words I would use to describe the experience we had with sending our Koby to stay with Patty! She is so welcoming and friendly. She kept us up to date on how our little guy was and sent TONS of pictures. This is our first puppy and our first time away from him and it was such a relief to know he was safe and in good hands! We definitely will be using Patty again for any outings of any kind!! THANK YOU PATTY!!!!”


“Kyle has care for my pup overnight, for anything from 1 night to 9 nights. She is amazing. My dog clearly loves her and is very comfortable each time I bring him. Kyle is extra communicative and shows my dog love in ways that go above and beyond. My pup and I find Kyle to be very trustworthy and safe. We really appreciate her.”

“Lori was amazing and took excellent care of our dog for an overnight stay. We discovered that our dogs had met, walking at Capital Hills and had hit it off right away, so that was an added bonus. But I immediately felt very comfortable and when I dropped Clover off, I truly felt like I was leaving her with a friend. Clover came home clean, happy and exhausted. I can't recommend Lori enough and would absolutely reach out to her again when the need arises. Thank you, Lori!”

“Shantalee was phenomenal with our boxer, Peanut, on a last minute request! Her apartment was perfect for our pup and they snuggled the entire weekend. Shantalee is warm, attentive, had great communication, and truly loved our girl! We’ll absolutely use her again.”
“We found, met and booked with Stephanie on Rover. We were more than happy with our experience! Stephanie is very responsive and communicated with us frequently with updates and pictures. It made our hearts warmed to see how comfortable and how loved our fur babies were while we were away. Stephanie is and will continue to be our first choice when we are unable to bring our puppers with us.”

“Very responsive. Provided updates and pictures. Theo enjoyed his time and received a ton of attention from Chris and Jia. When we're out of town again we will be reaching out.”

“Laura is a very kind and sweet person who truly loves dogs.She did a great job watching Scooter. There are s lot of small dogs there, butit was probably good for Scooter.”

“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”

“Chelsea and Christopher took wonderful care of our pups Obi and Opal, we could leave them in their care and be rest assured they were safe and happy. They both have a very calm vibe which our pups need. lol. Our 1 year old Opal is definitely not chill and they didn’t make us feel bad about it which we appreciate. 😂 it was clear they loved their time and they look forward to their future booked stays with Chelsea and Christopher! Thank you both!”

“Cache was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nala! She sent consistent updates, and Nala seemed to have so much fun when she was there. 1,000,000% would recommend and most definitely will be a repeat client!”

Bishop's Gate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christopher was absolutely amazing with Trevor! Trevor is super curious and can be a bit intense at times, but Christopher didn’t feel the need to use any of the calming supplies we sent, and said that Trevor did well! He was extremely kind, especially when we got held up a bit in traffic, and we look forward to booking with him again!

This was our boxer Peanut’s second time staying with Shantalee and it was again wonderful. She is attentive, sends tons of photos and drops in with notes just to let you know your pup is doing okay. She lives in a great apartment in an easy area to get to, not congested for good walks with dogs, only 5 minutes off the interstate. We drive out of our way (over an hour) when visiting family in the area just to make sure Peanut gets time with Shantalee!!
John was amazing! Super responsive, even to a last-minute/ day-of booking! He took wonderful care of our lil Roxy, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which we so appreciated :) She’s 15 years old and can sometimes be a little skiddish, but she took right to him and he made her feel right at home. He’s a great dog sitter and was very kind and caring, will definitely be booking with him again!

I would give Sarah 100 stars if I could; she is so amazing! Miles stayed with her two years ago when I went to scatter my parents ashes in England, and he came home so happy and calm. So when I had a very intensive training, and conference this weekend in Baltimore, I knew he would be in wonderful hands! When I arrived on Thursday he immediately jumped on the couch with their dog, who he clearly recognized! Sarah as before was very welcoming, and one of her three daughters was there to pet him; and did so, so gently! According to her husband, who was there when we picked Miles up, the two dogs were inseparable the whole weekend. Again Miles came home so calm and happy! I feel so blessed to have found Sarah! To know that I can trust that my eleven year old dog will be happy and safe when I am away, means everything to me! I absolutely recommend Sarah and her family! I cannot imagine a happier, and safer place to be!

She was so accommodating of my dogs needs and personality. She made sure he was fed on time, walked, and ready for pick up. She responds quick to all messages, and was able to fit me in last minute. She made sure to send cute videos of him and kept me updated on their day. I would highly recommend her as a great sitter. I’m definitely going to ask her to watch my dog again! :)

Emily was so fantastic with my rotti, Kenna. She is a rescue who has been with me for 5 years, but had a few homes before, and never been away from me overnight, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Emily was very reassuring and they got along at the initial meet and greet and I could see that Emily has a very calm demeanor that is great for an anxious doggo. While I was away she sent me daily updates with lots of pictures and let me know how my girl was doing which I definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend Emily and trust her to watch my pup in the future.
