“It’s Elie’s second stay with Bruna and she absolutely loves her time there. She always comes back tired and happy. Bruna is truly amazing to deal with. She’s flexible, transparent and she sends lots of updates. Special mention to Peroggie, who Elie seems to like very much!”
“Justin is such a gem. Cuddles with our lola and paid attention to her. He noticed that lola was weak and that her legs were lacking reflexes and very weak. He was updating us on how Lola was doing during her stay with him. After Lola’s stay, she went to the emergency for health reasons and Justin was very caring for Lola and tried to help us with the expenses by mentioning it on his stream. Lola is very lucky to have found Justin as a sitter. Booking Lola in again for this weekend. Thank you Justin!”
“Carolyn took care of my dog, Daria, over the Christmas holidays, and I couldn’t have been happier with her care. She was incredibly attentive and loving with Daria, sending me regular photos so I could see how well she was doing. Carolyn was always quick to respond to my messages if I had any questions, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She was also flexible and understanding when my plans changed, as I ended up returning two days later than expected. Carolyn was consistently pleasant, professional, and kind throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter, and if Daria ever needs a sitter again, Carolyn will be the first person I contact. Thank you, Carolyn, for taking such wonderful care of Daria!”
“Thank you for Justyne take great care of my baby! He had a great time! Justyne keep me updated on Toto’s day, I soooo glad to see they both are having a great time! Toto will for sure be a return visitor!”
“Cathy was great! She sent lots of updates and photos of Dexter during my trip. She was also very accommodating and responsive. Dexter seemed like he had a great time as well 10/10!”
“Cookie loves Trudy and Luke! She got spoiled and was always up to something fun, whether walking, playing or exploring. Trudy kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages. I highly recommend her as a boarder!”
“Kelly and her son were great with my dog. They sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. This was my first time using Rover and Kelly was the perfect fit for me. I felt confident with her right away. Thank you!”
“Perfect. Simply a perfect first time experience using Rover.com. Kailyn was accommodating to our changing scheduling needs, provided us with daily updates and pics, and we would have absolutely no hesitation in using her services again. Our only concern is that Pino, our dog, might start to prefer Kailyn over us.”
“J'ai eu la chance de confier Charlotte à Kathrine et sa famille pendant deux semaines récemment, et je ne pourrais pas être plus satisfaite ! Kathrine a été extrêmement attentionnée et professionnelle, offrant un environnement sûr et chaleureux pour Charlotte. Elle et sa famille ont pris soin de ses besoins particuliers avec beaucoup d'amour et de patience, ce qui m'a permis de partir en toute tranquillité d'esprit. Je suis tellement reconnaissant(e) d'avoir trouvé une famille aussi fiable et douce pour s'occuper d'elle. Je recommande vivement Kathrine et sa famille.”
“Wonderful experience with Kathleen!! So keen to understand your dog’s needs and to be sure to take care to meet them. She took our dog for many walks, took lots of pics to share with us and updated us with news of her stay regularly. I would highly recommend her to anyone and hope that she will continue to care for our dog as needed. ❤️”
“Melody and Scott were great with Pumpkin! They sent me so many pictures and spoiled her with affection. I appreciated their communication and that Pumpkin was comfortable and well loved!”
“First time using Rover and was a bit nervous because my Winston is still a puppy and has a lot to learn, but Sophie was great and reassured me with photos and multiple updates. I would send my dog back no hesitation.”
“Rosie is Truly amazing. Our lilttle pup had such a wonderful time with Rosie while we were away. Rosie sends daily updates and photos and I can tell by watching the photos that our Niko has been pampered and taken good care with love. I am greatful that I have found Rosie and entrust our fur baby with her. We'll definetely go back if we need a sitter again. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend Rosie.”
“We were very pleased with Shannon's care for our dog. She was an excellent communicator, providing regular updates, and showed genuine attention to detail in meeting our dog's needs. We would recommend her services. Thank you!”
“We’ve never felt 100% comfortable leaving our 7-year-old dog Murphy with a sitter—until now! Christine is everything that you could want in a companion for your pet. She’s genuinely kind, attentive, and enthusiastic. Her home is quiet and she’s there regularly, which means she’s fully invested in your pet’s care. We knew from the moment we met Christine that she would go above and beyond for Murphy. She was extremely generous with her time in getting to know us. She sought detailed information about Murphy’s schedule and then diligently kept him in his normal routine—which kept him calm and happy. She even seamlessly administered his three times daily medication, for which we were extremely grateful. Her communication with us before and throughout Murphy’s stay was impeccable. We received fun photos and videos from his stay that only confirmed to us what we already knew—that she was doing an amazing job. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Christine and know that she’ll be the only one we contact to care for Murphy in the future. Thanks, Christine!”
“Natasha was an incredible host! She was communicative (including sending regular photos and updates about how Hopper was settling in!), knowledgable about how to integrate multiple dogs into her pack, and friendly as heck!!! She's an excellent host and I'd trust her again with Hopper in a heart beat. Thanks again for everything, Natasha! 💞”
“This is Tink's second stay with Lynda. Tink was happy to see some old friends and make a new one. Lynda sent texts, pics and videos daily where we saw Tink's interactions with Lynda, her dogs and family. We will definitely use Lynda's services again when next we have to leave town. We highly recommend Lynda and trust her to take excellent care of Tink in our absence.”
“George just spent 4 days with Kate and he came back a better pup for it. Kate is very knowledgeable about dogs and was even able to work on George’s behavioural “quirks”. I received regular updates. George didn’t even want to come back when I picked him up! Will definitely be booking with Kate again!”
“Roxy had a great time with Ben and family. She enjoyed lots of walks, trips to the park and we enjoyed receiving photos of her adventures. The family were very accommodating when our flight times were changed not once but twice. We were very happy with our experience and will be using them again if they are willing.”
“Dexter feels right at home with Meri and her dog Cooper is a real sweetheart. They quickly became fast friends and have loads of fun playing and napping together. Meri made sure that she understood Dexter’s needs and she communicated with us throughout the visit. Dexter is very lucky to have such a lovely spot to visit when we are away.”
