“My dog augie loves going to Ricks! I am a nurse and I work odd hours, and he is always so accommodating with my pick up and drop offs!! I can’t recommend him enough!”
2. Amy N.
“Amy sent us pictures daily with updates. She remembered her from a previous stay and knew who her dog friends were. Our Molly had a sore leg and she was attentive to her needs. She kept her safe on a dog run in her large yard.”
3. Kathleen K.
“We had Kathleen dog sit our 14LB rescue and she was amazing! She sent me photos and videos of them on walks and playing in the yard every day. I would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a sitter for their pups.”
4. Michael H.
“Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)”
5. Chang K.
“Chang was so good to our Pup! She took her on walks, sent us lots of pictures showing her comfortable hanging out at her house. Communication was great! Highly recommend!”
6. Christine B.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Christine made it an unforgettable experience!! Normally we board our dogs, but since we were going on a short weekend trip we wanted to try something different. Christine made the entire process super stress-free. We dropped our pups off at her home, where she let us inside and gave us a rundown of what she'd be doing each day for them (how many times she takes them for walks, where they sleep, etc.). It made me feel so much better knowing exactly where they'd be staying and the details of their care! Christine sent several pictures each day with updates on how they were doing, which made this anxious dog-mom feel at ease. She truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own - she even sent them home with handmade bow-ties for their collars :') Any time we need to go out of town for a few days again, we're booking with Christine!! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend.”
7. Kirsten S.
“Kristen was fantastic. She's very flexible with the schedule and allowed us to pick our pup up throughout our trip so he could join us at the dog friendly locations. We would 100% use her again if needed.”
8. Trish M.
“Trish is a wonderful dog sitter who is communicative, caring, and professional. She has a lovely backyard for your pup to play in and lots of furry friends coming and going!”
9. Meghan H.
“Meghan is truly an amazing person ! She took such great care of Pippy. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Pippy was loved every day. She is very professional. We had a minor incident with Pippy at the day before leaving for our trip. Meghan assured me she was comfortable with the situation so I knew Pippy would be safe. I highly recommend her. I will book her anytime I need help with Pippy!”
10. Kim M.
“I know Kim through volunteering at a rescue, so I've seen how professional and knowledgeable she is. She really knows so much about dog behavior and does great with dogs of all personalities!”
11. Amy C.
“Amy was amazing!! She sent pictures of my dog frequently and provided a lot of updates. She took such great care of my dog. She is reliable, prompt, and attentive! She made sure my dog got lots of walks and did fun activities. I will be using her again in the future!!”
12. Emily & Patrick M.
“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
13. Victoria K.
“Victoria was excellent!!! This was my first time using rover and leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was so nervous. Victoria was extremely kind and let me and my dog come over a couple days before so we could meet and see her house. She sent pictures and videos 2-3 times every day, gave my dog her medication, and made her feel really welcome. I already booked my next stay with Victoria! I feel so much better being able to leave my dog with someone she loved and who loved her! :)”
14. Nelia & Brett M.
“Milo was so well taken care of & had a wonderful stay. I loved the puctures and updates serval times a day. The entire family took part in his care & giving him love while we were on this much-needed getaway. We have found the perfect sitter for him & will definitely have him stay again . Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little guy❤️”
15. Andrew K.
“Andrew was so wonderful. Very communicative and pleasant to work with. I knew immediately my dog would be safe and comfortable in his care and he did not disappoint. He has a great space for pets and you can tell he really cares. I will definitely book another stay with him.”
16. Christy M.
“My two little terriers always love staying at Christy’s! They are treated just like one of the family and love to cuddle with Christy’s two dogs, too. I can always enjoy my trips knowing they are happy and well cared for.”
17. Tia D.
“I wish 10 stars was an option.....Tia and her family were amazing with Georgia and Sammi. I highly highly recommend them to anyone else needing boarding. She took extra steps to make sure our dogs were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of the whole time. The entire Dramble family was great! Thank you Tia!! We will be back :)”
18. Matthew S.
“Had a great experience with Matt, from the Meet n Greet and the drop off, to the pick up and everything in between. Matt was very responsive and kept in touch during Mayzie’s stay, assuring us she had adjusted fine, and sending us photos. She’s visiting again in two weeks so I’m relieved that Mayzie has a safe and comfortable place to call home while we are away. Excellent experience overall! I did not worry about my dog’s care because I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to leave their pet in a safe, fun, attentive, welcoming environment. Thanks, Matt!”
19. Rose L.
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Rose watched our pup Nathan over the weekend and I will be exclusively user her in the future for any and all pet sitting. The room she has for her Rover guests is clean and very comfortable for dogs. Her two dogs Daisy and Whiskey are really nice and sweet pups and got along great with ours! Rose provided plenty of enrichment and playtime for Nathan and we did not worry at all while he was under her care. Everyday she made sure to update us and send photos which was super nice. Nathan even came down with tummy issues the day before our trip and Rose still accepted our sitting appointment and even got him better again! She has an amazing knowledge of pet nutrition and (after asking permission of course) fed him a diet to help his tummy! While doing this, she even recommended food that would be better suited for his size and type of dog. I’m so happy we found Rose and look forward to many more sitting appointments with her!”
20. Dezerae G.
“Very attentive and provided a good time for our dogs while we are away. I highly recommend as she is communicative daily and provides them w plenty of walks and play time in the dog park to socialize!!”
