“Absolutely wonderful! Our energetic 7 month old puppy was happy, got lots of walks and healthy social time with other dogs, and came back with some new (doggy) social confidence we think. Thank you for the daily pics and videos that showed us he was happily getting lots of walks in.”
“Frankie was a lovely sitter for Benji! She took him in at the last minute and provided us with updates throughout his stay. We would recommend her services and will be re-booking again in the future! :)”
“Mariel and Bram are so reliable! They boarded my dog Thor for 6 days in their home and he had an amazing time. I can tell Thor was loved and cared for under their care. I got updates of Thor including photos and videos throughout the days and communication was excellent. I would definitely leave Thor under their care again! Thank you Mariel and Bram for being amazing sitters!”
“Sascha took excellent care of our sweet pup while we were away on a vacation. She was flexible, communicative, and took excellent photos! It is obvious Sascha knows a lot about taking care of animals and loves being around them. Will definitely book again!”
“Tracy & Richard did a great job with Mookie as she a little nervous around new people. Also, they did really well with the medical needs and I would definitely leave Mookie with Tracy again.”
“Kim is hands down the best sitter I’ve found on Rover! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my Pomeranian. She treated him like he was her own, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She has the sweetest little Pomeranian herself, and the two of them got along so well. It was obvious my dog was having the best time! Kim sent lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. Her home is every dog’s dream, she has so many toys, a ball pit, a pool, and a beautiful, secure yard for them to run around and play in. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I honestly can’t recommend Kim enough. She’s by far the best sitter I’ve found on Rover, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, she’s the one!”
“We had such a great experience with Lynda watching Oliver—he came home a very happy pup! From the initial meet and greet to the final pick-up, everything went smoothly. Lynda kept me updated daily with photos and messages, which was incredibly reassuring, especially since it was my first time leaving my pet with a sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Tia and Luke were fantastic! They made me feel at ease, sent updates and were super responsive. Casper is so funny and perfectly complimented my dog. Will definitely book again with them.”
“Rebecca was such a sweetheart and took the best care of our pup while we were away! We used her in-house boarding service and would jump at the opportunity to use her care again. She provided pictures and updates, and gathered all the necessary information prior to our dogs stay to make sure the transition was smooth and easy. 10/10 will be recommending her to our friends and family!”
“HI, Erica was a gem with Romeo. Romeo came home with no issues. He usually does at other places with other dogs. He was happy as he usually is and well looked after. I am very grateful that we found Erica and her family. Thank you”
“Easy communication, regular updates. Our pup is getting on in years and Martha reassured us with her experience and cofidence looking after older dogs. Thank you Martha!”
“Charlie had a great time staying with Dominica and Steve. He’s usually a little anxious but was right at home there. They are lovely and we’ll definitely be using them again.”
“Sara was an amazing sitter! She provided lots of updates and photos throughout my dogs stay. My puppy had a fantastic time with her and came home very happy. Thanks for everything :)”
“Robyn was fantastic with my dog Mabel. She was very responsive, making the booking process very quick and easy, and provided lots of updates and pictures. Her dog Lily was a great companion and Mabel came home exhausted!”
“Stella can be a bit anxious and hard to warm up but Jennifer quickly became one of her best friends, along with her pup! I received frequent updates and had some travels planned change and Jennifer was extremely accommodating and an absolute treat as a care giver. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Nadine is a passionate and attentive dog babysitter who truly loves dogs. Her availability and dedication allow her to provide more than ample care and attention for our boys. I was so impressed with the daily updates she provided, which kept me informed about our dog's activities and made me feel connected even when I was away. I highly recommend Nadine for her exceptional care and commitment to ensuring a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I have used other highly reviewed providers in Rover in the past, but they never gave me the comfort that Nadine has given me that our boys are in such great hands. When you meet Nadine you will know what I mean. She is a very caring and special person. I highly recommend Nadine and we will be back!”
“Suzanne was fantastic with Bud! From the start, she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a calm, positive energy, and I could tell Bud was comfortable, and settled in by the photos she sent. He came home happy and exhausted after three days of being with Suzanne which, as a dog owner, is about the best outcome you can ask for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Suzanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog.”
“Waylon had a great time with Tayler, Max, and their dogs! He came home so calm and relaxed. We appreciated the daily updates as well as the amazing photos. We would definitely book another stay with Tayler and Max!”
“Adriana and Jhordan were more than we were expected! First time dog mom here and it was my first time leaving my furry baby to a sitter and I did not regret choosing them. I will message them back and I would recommend them for everybody:) Thanks again so much!”

Serrina was wonderful! My pup seemed to have a great time - I was updated with lots of photos throughout his stay and he was happy and calm when I picked him up at the end. Serrina accommodated his food and supplement needs without issue, she was competent and experienced. This was his first stay with her, and I had peace of mind that he was in good hands after the first brief meeting!
When I leave my dog with someone I always worry if she is going to get the same level of care and attention that I give her. I did not need to worry about that at all with Elke at James and Kasha's place. She was well taken care of! I was given regular updates of her activities and the adventures that she had. I would say they went above and beyond with the care for Elke. She looked happy in all the pictures they sent and settled in very nicely in their home.
Elisa helped us with our dog Almond. She was so sweet and took such good care of Almond. She kept updating us throughout and was very responsive. We really appreciate her taking care of our dog for 3 more hours than the expected pickup time as we were stuck due to an emergency. I would highly highly suggest her for boarding and have Almond stay with her again 😀
This was our second time booking Jeongah, and it was absolutely amazing! Our dog is well cared for, and we get regular updates to how he was doing. We really appreciate how communicative Jeongah was, and she was extremely professional as well. I'm sure we will rebook in the future, and I couldn't recommend her more. This was a fantastic find on Rover.
Thank you for always taking such good care of Penny! We always get pics and videos, and Penny is always settled and happy. It’s very nice to have a sitter that is available last minute for us, who is quick to respond, and flexible. We already have penny’s next stay booked :)
Sascha was incredible! Her years of fostering dogs and her own beautiful dog "Mira" made it a perfect fit for my Indy. She is compassionate, caring and sent loads of photo updates while I was away. Sascha will be my go to forever now having see that she loves my pup as she would her own! If there were a rating higher than 5 stars, Sascha would receive it without a doubt!
Wally loved his time with Frankie. They went for lots of walks together, had lots of snuggles and she shared many photos of them having a good time. It was very reassuring knowing our fur baby was so well taken care of. We will definitely be requesting to board with Frankie again!
Lindsay and her partner did an amazing job looking after Jasper. He came back super happy and we got regular updates throughout the visit. Jasper often has a hard time when he’s away from us and it seems like he was very happy and had a great time! Lindsay was also very comfortable giving Jasper his medication (eyedrops) and was very attentive to any issues which was important to us due to Jasper having some health complexities. We’d recommend a stay at Lindsay’s place any time and would have Jasper stay there again in a heartbeat. 10/10!
Kimberley is the best! I was so nervous to leave Charlie as we’d never spent the night apart, but she couldn’t have been in better hands. I used Kimberley on two separate occasions for 5 nights each. She took such great care of her, and I truly feel like she treated Charlie as one of her own! She had great communication, and provided daily updates (which I looked forward to each day). Charlie also LOVED being able to spend time with her two dogs, Baloo and Simba, who are the sweetest. I would use Kimberley again in a heartbeat. Your pup will be in great hands ❤️
Dexter had a wonderful overnight stay with Sara and Winston. He was so tired when I picked him up, from non-stop playing and fun walks! Sara even got him to eat his meals, which is so great considering Dexter is such a picky eater. She is such a caring person and obviously a dog lover! I would absolutely recommend Sara and Winston! They are an amazing pair :)
