“Travis and Danielle were the best!! They provided many pictures during my dogs stay with them and made sure to know all about my dog prior to him even entering their care. Hands down the best care my dog could have received. He looked so happy and well loved in all the pictures. I would definitely send him back anytime to them :)”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”
“My puppers had a fantastic time! I could tell she was very well taken care of by Ming and Makenna and she got plenty of excersise. They took my pupper day of and got back to us super quickly. They spend alone time with your dog if she's new as well. Will book again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dogs have only been left with friends and family before. Steve was absolutely AMAZING with our two little dogs. He was very cognizant of their needs and showed them patience and kindness as they warmed up to him. The moment I dropped them off I walked away with a true sense of peace and never worried once about them while they were in his care. He sent many photos and updates each day through out their stay, including each morning with an update of how their night went. Typically when we leave them with others, family and friends they know, they won’t eat for the first day or two, but with Steve they both ate right away, which let me know they felt comfortable. I highly recommend Steve and without a doubt will book with him again.”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“Leo had a great time with Nathan. He took pictures and sent them regularly and was great responding to messages. He was able to watch Leo last min for the 4th which helped us a ton. His backyard was perfect for Leo. Thanks Nathan!!”
“Deb took such wonderful care of our puppy! She was only 13 weeks when we had to leave her for 2 nights, and she went above and beyond helping her adjust! She listens and cares how we are training her, does the same things, tries some of her own stuff, and just loves on Luna. I couldn't ask for a more caring sitter and Luna will be back. She got undivided attention, and training..I couldn't ask for a better place for her. She sent videos and photos the whole stay! And responded whenever I checked in with her. Thank you for loving Luna.”
“Such a great experience! Boarding our dog was a last minute decision for us and I would do it again with them! They sent photos daily to Lee us posted on our dog. Fast replies to messages. Great communication!”
“This was our first Rover experience and it was awesome! Our beagle Penny loved Aryal! Definitely rebooking with her and we are just thrilled that we found such a wonderful sitter for our furbaby!! Everything went so smoothly - from the initial meeting to picking up Penny when we returned. It is such a relief to know our furry family member is being treated so well and we don't have to worry about her since Aryal has so much experience with dogs!”
“Kat was great with our dog. She updates and pictures. Our dog got plenty of walks and attention. I think our dog preferred not having other animals around as he can be scared by other dogs. Would definitely book her again. Easy communication and drop off a d pick up.”
“Emma had a great visit with Tiffany and family. They are welcoming and I found it comforting the way that Emma felt comfortable with them right away. I was traveling and staying at a hotel because of a family wedding. When so sm in town again I will definitely use them to take care of Emma. (My12 year old Shiipoo).”
“My dogs loved hanging with Emily while we were on vacation! I really appreciated seeing all of the pictures she sent us of the dogs having fun. She was very caring to my senior dog who is nearly blind and deaf. Thanks so much Emily!”
“Erin took care Neo very well. Seems Neo was happy Neo had a great time with Erin and her two dogs.. He seems to be very happy during his stay. I thank Erin to look after Neo. Definitely I would use her again for sure.”
“Our Ronnie loves Sana and the one on one attention he gets from her! We will always pick her to watch Ronnie because he absolutely loves her! And she loves him right back. She takes such great care of Ronnie and we completely trust her with our most precious dog Ronnie! Thank you Sana!!”
“Our dogs had a lovely stay! We really appreciated the updates the first 24 hours as it was the first time we had left our dogs behind while traveling. We were greatly reassured which allowed us to enjoy our trip better.”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”

Jena is awesome! This was my first time using Rover. I was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but my dog was in good hands with Jena. She was easy to communicate with and gave frequent updates. My dog is usually pretty anxious but Jena made her feel right at home. We will definitely be using her again.
I can't recommend Olivia enough! We were in town for a graduation and our Airbnb didn't allow pets. I needed to secure a boarding place for my little maltipoo ASAP. Olivia accommodated my schedule and need so well. I appreciated her taking my last minute request and keeping me updated with pictures/videos. My furbaby had a great time and my mind was at ease. You can count on Olivia!
Sana did a wonderful job taking care of our 11 month old puppy. It was the first time we left her for more than 1 overnight. We were gone for 11 days. Sana sent pictures or videos everyday to let us know how JoJo was doing. When JoJo was showing signs of discomfort, Sana went above and beyond taking care of our pup and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. It was obvious Sana loved our puppy as her own and that our puppy loved her back. I was appreciative that Sana let me know something wasn't right with our pup without worrying me too much on vacation but also being respectful and considerate by reaching out for my input on how to handle the situation. Sana was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We had a meet and greet ahead of time which helped ease our minds about everything. We will definitely be asking Sana first next time we are looking for a sitter.
Katrina and her family were wonderful! This was the first time my dog has stayed with someone other than family. He was pretty nervous at first and I could tell he didn’t want me to leave but they made him feel at home. Katrina sent me a picture to let me know he calmed down and warmed up to their house. I felt so relaxed knowing he was at a loving home. I definitely recommend Katrina and will definitely use her again when we leave town.
Ashleigh is THE BEST!!!! Sitter I've ever had for Mu. Her dog is so cute and friendly, and Mu (who usually hides in fear around other dogs) actually started playing with her immediately. Ashleigh sent so many pics and was so sweet to Mu, it was a huge relief to not have to worry about Mu's care on my trip. Mu usually refuses to eat when I'm not around, but she ate her full meals with this sitter. Ashleigh is something special, and will make your dog feel right at home!
Austin did a great job with Teddy while we were out of town for a week. His dog Sadie is a gem, ands Teddy got along really well with her. We are always a little nervous to leave Teddy with a new sitter due to his size, but this was a very good experience and we’ll be using Austin again in the future.
