“Christina and her husband, Nick, were fantastic with our Stella girl. We hired them to watch her during our wedding and also bring Stella over to the church so she could be included in portraits. They were so accommodating and good to her and us, and even provided regular updates and photos to let us know how Stella was doing. We were a little nervous about everything because Stella doesn't warm easily or quickly to strangers. But Christina and Nick did so great with her and Stella seemed very well taken care of. We already have friends asking for their info and would 100% use them again in the future.”

About: I’m a very patient and understanding individual, especially with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable. We have a rescue dog with a difficult past who doesn’t always feel safe in new environments or around unfamiliar people or dogs, so we truly understand how important it is to find the right fit. That’s actually what inspired me to start Rover, to provide a safe and secure space for dogs like her. I have experience as a dog foster with rescue dogs and those who may be a bit nervous or shy. I have a separate floor in my home where your dog can have a quiet space to decompress and feel comfortable during their stay. Because my dog is territorial and does not get along with other dogs, I will keep her completely separated from your dog. Also have a nice fenced in yard where they can around and play. I would love the opportunity to watch and care for your furry family member :) I work from home full-time in IT, so I’m around all day to keep your dog company. They’ll get enough attention, potty breaks, and won’t be left alone for long periods I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. Inside, I have a finished basement with windows where they can relax and keep me company. This setup allows me to comfortably separate your dog from my dog and kid , ensuring a safe and stress-free environment.
“Ninoska was so great! She was really nice and sent me photo updates every day. I love that she has a yard for the dogs to play in. She even cooked for my dog when he ran out of food. It looked like Tucker had so much fun at her house with the other dogs. She was super flexible and accommodating with pick up time when my flight was delayed. Highly recommend!”

“The feedback I received from Paloma was great. The start of the scheduled pickup time was a little nerve racking, I scheduled a 8:00 PM pickup and no response until after 12:00 AM. My daughter said I was scammed and that was my biggest fear, but when I received the text message from Paloma I felt a little better and she reduced the fee. She picked Juicey up and I really felt better she would be cared for while I was away. Thank you for the care for my fur baby”

“Treated my boy like her own and even tried to help solve a life long problem with the help of his new fur friends. Amazing communication, with frequent updates and super flexible. Thank you and will book again in a heart beat.”

“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”

“She’s fantastic! Michelle ensures that your animal is loved, care for - takes time to feed and do the routines that your dog has daily. She has a super clean home with an area just for your dog that makes you feel like it’s a doggy hotel! Nameplate and first time sitter certificate was a nice touch. We received many updates of all kinds - videos, pictures and texts throughout her stay. Her own dogs are lovely and kept Lulu active and entertained (she s a puppy so it was great!). We plan on booking her again if available and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Michelle!!”

“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”

“This was my first time using Rover to find a place to board my dog, and it was a really positive experience. She was well cared for and got regular walks. I received updates and pictures throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind. Communication was easy, and I’d happily book with this couple again.”

“Wan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.”

“Marlene always does an excellent job caring for our pit bull mix with special needs. Marlene takes her on very long walks and is incredibly caring and attentive. I highly recommend her!”

“Karla was wonderful. Great communication, super fast replies, oodles of pictures sent, and just a really great vibe. Ramona clearly had a wonderful time during her stay and she came home clean and happy. We will not hesitate to book again with Karla!”

“Euitae was great with my puppy! Communicated with me well throughout the time, sent photos and videos. I felt comfortable leaving her with a new boarder and would work with Euitae again!”

“Highly recommend! Murphy had the best time with Christian! I was super nervous leaving Murphy with someone he didn’t know for a few days, but as soon as I met Christian and his family, I felt instantly comfortable. They were so friendly and welcoming! Christian was awesome with communication — even before I dropped Murphy off, he answered all my questions and made the whole process easy. While I was away, he sent just the right amount of pics and videos of Murphy living his best life, which made me feel so much better. Picking him up was super easy too. Honestly, I can’t recommend Christian enough — will definitely be booking with him again!”

“Moonyoung and Sunhuyung were fantastic! They were very responsive and I was able to set up a meet and greet with them before booking. Communication was great and I received daily updates from them with lots of pictures. Brody was comfortable with them right away and adjusted to his normal routine from the get go. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.”

“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”

“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”

“Binny and her husband were amazing! They took such great care of our dog during our week away, keeping us updated with photos and ensuring our pup felt right at home. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend their services!”

“Roman is a spectacular sitter, you couldn’t ask for better! Very communicative and responsive, took great photos and sent lovely updates. My pup had a wonderful time with him and I’d definitely board with him again!”

We had a wonderful experience with Edelann and Lax and felt completely at ease leaving Buddy with them. They were communicative, warm, and clearly treated him like part of the family. Buddy had a great time - he loved playing with their dog Akira and enjoying their big backyard, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. We also really appreciated the updates and the attentive care they provided. We’re so grateful for the love and care they showed Buddy and would absolutely trust them again. Highly recommend!

Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog loved her, and her space was so clean and welcoming. She kept me updated with photos and was always quick to respond, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be booking with her again.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Katya! We have a rescue dog who was previously abused and is extremely anxious — especially around new people. As you can imagine, we were just as anxious leaving her for the first time. Katya went above and beyond to make all of us feel comfortable. She sent multiple updates and pictures every single day, which really eased our minds. It was clear from the photos that our girl felt safe and cared for. She took her on lots of walks, was patient with her anxiety, and made sure she received her medication exactly as instructed. That level of attentiveness meant everything to us. If you have a nervous or special-needs pup, Katya is someone you can absolutely trust. We are so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again!

I had a great experience and felt very comfortable boarding Eevee with Endre. He sent photos and videos everyday, and it was clear that she was well cared for. Over the weekend, there was also a snowstorm and still he brought her out for walks and to enjoy playing in the snow! I really appreciate the extra effort and attentiveness, especially given the tough weather. Thank you!

Exceptional care for your furry family members and peace of mind for pet parents. We could not be more pleased with the care our dog received from Heather. From start to finish, it was clear that he was in excellent hands. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog returned to us happy, relaxed, safe, and healthy—clear signs of thoughtful and compassionate care. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

I had to take an extended trip for almost 3 weeks, and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was away. I knew they would be in good hands during the meet and greet because she is such a warm person and has a lovely home with a backyard which made the extended time away more manageable for my pups.
