“Kara was such a great choice for us! We had never boarded our cat in another home before and she made us feel very comfortable, and that Tilly would feel at home. We received pictures and updates throughout her stay. Thank you again, Kara!!”
“This was our first time trying Rover, or having anyone watch our pup. Karen was quick to respond, friendly, flexible, and did a wonderful job. She was also very reasonably priced! Oscar liked it there so much I don’t think he wanted to leave! She sent us updates, pics, and videos. We already have our next stay for him there planned. Will continue to use so we can visit family in Indy. Thank you Karen!”
“My dogs have never had such an easy drop off! They instantly bonded with Julie’s friendly dogs and went off to explore. A great experience for our dogs. We’ll look to book again with Julie!”
“Great boarding sitter! He showed so much love and care to my Archie sent me pictures and videos daily so we can clearly see how happy and relaxed he was with the new place. I thought my Archie was unwilling to come back with us at the end! Will definitely book next sitting ASAP so I will get the spot!”
“Sam and Rachel were so incredibly sweet and loving to our furry babies! Our dogs had someone home with them all day, played and went on walks. All of which we had fun pictures of sent to us that made it”
“Daisy really enjoyed her stay with Kailly. Kailly was kind, responsive and sent us photos of Daisy during her stay. She took the extra time to make sure our dog was comfortable with the other pets in the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Daisy stay with her again.”
“Courtnie is a top notch carer for pets. She is also very communicative and her availability on short notice was great. I felt like my pet was safe and well cared for while I was on vacation. Highly recommend.”
“Nothing but great things to say about Marietta! Very easy to work with, great place for my dog Charlie to stay and he loves her dog Erin Rose! He came home tired and a few pounds trimmer from plating so much :). Marietta and her sisters are wonderful! Thank you!! Joanne”

“Amy did an excellent job caring for our dog, Penny. Penny loved playing and snuggling with Amy and her son. We received great communication and pictures throughout the time Penny was with Amy. We would definitely recommend Amy and will use her in the future.”
“I absolutely loved Aricel. She was extremely sweet and accommodating to my older pup. She was very loving and Bootz took to her well. He even got to sleep in the bed with her which he seemed to love. She sent pictures and updates daily which I greatly appreciated. I was so pleased I've already booked her for another stay.”
“Kyungyeon was AMAZING with our depressed doggie! He always mopes and eats very little when we are away, but Kyungyeon would not give up until he felt comfortable and happy in her home! We got so many pictures and updates and I am so grateful for the amazing care she took of our Obi!”
“Amy and her sweet family took such wonderful care of our golden retriever! He was so happy playing there, got so much extra attention and love, big backyard for running. Thank you so much, Amy!”

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie was fantastic with my two, rather large pitties. Being a first time Rover user and really a first time pet sitter user in general, I was very apprehensive to what felt like giving up my dogs to a stranger. But any apprehension I had quickly went away with Stephanie. She gave constant updates and sent pictures on a daily basis of my pups playing in her beautiful fenced in backyard. She clearly has a love for dogs and maybe a soft spot for pitties. I would recommend her to anyone.
Karen was most attentive and a perfect match for my 15 year old Havanese, Juliet. Karen understood the cadence of Juliet and let my little pal find her own spot in Karen's care. The surroundings, yard and atmosphere was welcoming and soothing for the my tiny visitor. Thank you Karen for understanding the happy place for Juliet and tolerating her desire to alert you of outside squirrels and pedestrians on the sidewalk!
Briana was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in great communication the entire time I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved all the pictures and videos she sent of my fur baby, it really made being away a lot easier. You can tell she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. I would absolutely book with her again!
Archie adores this family. They take such great care of him that he thinks of them as part of his extended family. This is what you want in a sitter. A place where your dog can go and feel like he is on a vacation. They are great at sending photos, communicating, and our dog always looks very happy to be there.
