“My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.”
“Cheryle and Henry were undeniably the BEST dogsitters we’ve ever used. They cared for our little Sophie like she was their own. Sophie doesn’t eat much whenever we are gone, but this was the first time she actually ate her food. That told us that she was comfortable with them. They sent us photos so we could see how she was doing along with daily text updates. We are so grateful to them for loving and caring for our sweet Sophie. We look forward to using them again.”
“Jody took great care of my dog, Hank. She was very thorough in getting to know him and very knowledgeable on introducing her dogs to him. I know he had a blast because he came home happy and tired. And the photos she sent of him while he was with her showed how much fun he was having too. If we are ever back in the area I will get her to dog sit him again!”
“Mojo had a great time with Shannon. This was his first visit and he warmed up to her right away. He's an older dog with older dog needs, and she handled everything wonderfully. We will definitely be taking him back.”
“Paula is absolutely wonderful! We couldn't have left our fur baby in better hands. She cared for him flawlessly, provided lots of snuggles and love, and gave us regular update with photos. We will definitely be using her again as our pet's home away from home!”
“Charlotte & her dog Lupin were both very welcoming to my shy 7mo pup, helped her feel at home & she had so much fun! I was nervous about boarding her for the first time, but Charlotte definitely knows what she’s doing and cares a lot about making guests comfortable. I got lots of adorable pics of my pup having a great time in their yard & dog den. 10/10, highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”

“Marah has been the go to for us when we need someone to watch our dog Lilly. She’s very responsive and easy to contact. Lilly always comes home happy and tired. A sign of lots of playing with Marahs other dogs! We will always contact her first when we need someone to sit for us. Thanks Marah!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my Dozer here. She updated us anytime we asked and sometimes even if we didn’t. I think he has a really good time because he is super tired today. Will be using her again in the future.”
“Denna and her husband were absolutely amazing! They took in my Maltipoo on short notice, and took great care of him. They have officially become my go-to sitters. I got updates everyday, photos and videos and just felt very comfortable and safe leaving biscuit in their hands. My dog also got along really well with their dogs, which was a big plus! Overall, they’re great dog sitters but also genuinely great people. I’m so glad I found them!”
“Melissa kept my dog Howard for a night and everything went as smoothly as possible. Howard is a shy dog, but warmed up to Melissa quickly and was comfortable staying with her. She's kind, communicates quickly and clearly, and I'd highly recommend her for any service she offers.”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com for our 1 year old pup. We were anxious to leave town without her, but Ashley and her family took such great care of Sadie for 5 days. She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We were so relieved that this was such a great experience and can't wait to use her serves again for our next trip.”
“Stephanie took the best care of Disco! I could tell she felt right at home with her. She made sure to take her on walks, give her snuggles, and share photos and updates with me throughout her stay. I would definitely book with Stephanie again!”
