“Dana is AMAZING!!! Skylar has such a fun time at her house and she made new friends. Dana sent us pictures and updates of our Skylar everyday which I loved to see. I would definitely refer her to everybody around and also will contact her again if we happen to need someone to watch Skylar again. Five stars!!!”
“TJ had another great stay with Jeannie. We look forward to seeing the daily photos and updates. Already booked for our next time out of town. Highly recommend Jeannie.”

“Shauna and Peter were amazing! The reviews are all accurate and I'm so glad we found them. They took such good care of our puppy and sent us daily updates (photos and videos). The whole process was super easy and we were worried since this was our first time using Rover. When we picked up our puppy all his stuff was packed nicely and he was waiting for us at the front, ready and fed. We couldn't believe how great this app is and the loving families who opened up their home to our fur baby. Thank you Shauna and Peter for taking such good care of Leo.”

“Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.”


“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”

“We are blessed to find an amazing trustworthy sitter for our fur baby. June is always our first preference to sit Murphy. We’re going to June pretty regularly for sitting and boarding. She’s amazing! Clear communication, understanding, polite, follows instructions, has clean environment and takes care of Murphy like her own pet!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”

“Our dog came back happy which is all we can ask for. We received so many great videos and photos of Sadie while we were gone which gave us the peace of mind that we needed. We will absolutely use her services again in the future!”

“Danielle was nice enough to take our pups in an emergency situation. She was absolutely GREAT with them. They were well taken care of, even during a storm. You can rest assured Danielle will take the best care possible of your pets. We already have two other trips booked with her because she was sooo good”


“Jessica was flexible and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Selah in her hands an we would definitely use her again. Selah seemed to love being with Jessica and her daughter. They even took her in the car for an outing which she loves.”

“We love these guys! Our puppies feel at home and are well loved, treated as family and always have a great time. The timely updates, lovely artistic pictures and videos and the great care they offer our pups is invaluable.”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”

“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”

“Jackie was absolutely wonderful with my Border Collie, Ghost, while I was out of town in San Antonio. From the very first meet-and-greet, I was impressed by her setup—it was clear she had put a lot of thought into making dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I don’t like the idea of my dog being in a kennel for long stretches when I’m away, so it was refreshing to see the space Jackie created where Ghost could feel at home. Throughout his stay, Jackie sent me multiple daily updates with thorough notes and plenty of photos. That kind of communication is exactly what gives peace of mind when you’re away, and she nailed it. On top of that, Ghost was right at the start of a food transition when I dropped him off. Jackie kept me posted every day on how he was eating, and thanks to her attentiveness, he fully transitioned to the new food while under her care. Her family and kids were also great with Ghost—he’s high-energy, and it was clear he had good company and plenty of engagement during his stay. I also appreciated that Jackie communicated ahead of time about other dogs who might be boarding, which helped me feel even more comfortable about the environment Ghost would be in. All around, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Jackie gave Ghost the kind of care and attention I’d want for him, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Kimberly was great to work with. She was very accommodating and worked with us even when our schedule changed. She sent pictures of Bella and communication was great the entire time. Bella looked very happy and relaxed the entire stay!”

“Elena and her family were great. From the start at drop off, I could tell our pup would be treated like family. She was really good about keeping me updated on how things were going on a frequent basis. She sent us some great pictures and a few brief summaries of how the day went. Two weeks is a long time to take someone else’s dog for any reason but I’m really happy it was Elena and her family. Will try to use her again if they’re willing.”

Burlington dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was nervous leaving Mack because he hasn't been watched by anyone other than family in our home. He had a rough start but Becca was trying to work with him and his anxiety. She provided constant updates to help me feel more at ease. She was very caring, very communicative, and I can tell she is passionate about animals and watching them in her home.
