Ollie is already booked for a repeat stay at Sheryl's.”

“Since getting my puppy Apollo a year ago, this was my first vacation/any time away from him. Due to this I was extremely nervous and anxious. Timothy watched my pup for about a week while I was on vacation and I am so grateful to how much care and love he showed my pup and best friend. I received daily updates via text message, as well as picture and videos. Timothy was very responsive and patient with all of my questions/concerns. I was able to enjoy my vacation, as Timothy treated my dog as if he was his own. Timothy even gave my dog a toy as a parting gift! I will definatly be returning to Timothy for future Rover services.”

Cedar-Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Allie was wonderful— gave our dog a safe, comfortable home and lots of love while we were away. We would use her again!

My pup had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave! I loved the daily photo updates so I could see the fun my boy was having! Susie was great and quick with communication while booking.

Misty and Brian were so loving! They loved Bella and said lovely things about her. They cared for her like she was their own dog. Bella was the only dog, so got all the attention. I’ll definitely use them again

Stacy was SO wonderful watching my dog! Really made me feel at ease as a first time Rover user. She’s super communicative and send tons of pictures 😊 will absolutely rebook

Zach was such a great host for our dog, Pippi! She loved playing with his dogs who were a perfect match for her. We were so happy to find such a kind and knowledgeable sitter. Thank you, Zach!

Anya was so great with Genie! He's a very nervous doggo but had the best time and warmed up pretty quick! And he's never been around a cat before but they got along great! Anya sent updates and pictures every day which was so nice qnd greatly appreciated

Erin was great, as always. Took special care to keep tabs on Rafa amidst the fireworks of 4th of July, which I appreciated. Always great to send pictures with a quick note.

Continued to keep me updated throughout my trip! My dog was able to play with other pups and seemed to have a great time!

Brian is the best! We now use him to puppy-sit exclusively when we're out of town, and our dog's reaction to seeing Brian when he hasn't for a month says it all: he gets SO excited and cannot wait to get out of our arms to see Brian! We feel so confident that our dog is very well cared for (Brian sends detailed daily updates and photos, letting us know what our dog was up to, how he is eating, etc, and we can very clearly see in all of the photos that he's very, very happy!). We also had travel snafus our last two trips - one canceled flight and another change in plans - and Brian was so flexible, understanding and gracious that it meant the world to us!

Anastasiia did a wonderful job! This was only Dollys second rover stay and the first since her brother crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge. Dolly is a rescue and sometimes takes a long time to open up to new people (especially when I’m not around) and Anastasiia did a lovely job making her feel comfortable! She helped Dolly feel safe in a new environment AND during scary 4th of July fireworks. If I need a sitter again I won’t hesitate to book Anastasiia! 🤩

Quick to respond, shared a couple picture updates, and was really caring towards my pups. Thank you, Susan!

I love leaving Dora with Betsy! She sends photos and updates and I know my former stray is safe and in good hands. Dora loves the fenced in yard!

Zoe watched our dog for an extended stay and shared updates and photos everyday. Goldy had a great time with Zoe and her dogs. She gave him a lot of special attention and took him to the dog park a lot, which is one of his favorite things to do! We really appreciate Zoe!

Chloe took great care of our dog and he had a fun time with her dog Luchi! Very good communication on timings and lots of pictures and updates during our dog’s stay. We would happily recommend and use again.

Emily and her family watched Murphy while we were out of town getting married! I didn't worry about him at all! Would recommend to anyone!

Gwen is amazing and so flexible, i truly felt so at ease leaving Ginger in her care while i left the country for 10 days. I would jump at the chance to have her care for Ginger again, I received regular updates and photos, she was flexible with drop off and pick up and Ginger seemed to settle right in. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girl!

Thank you to Lauren and Michael for taking such good care of Tobi! They even went above and beyond and brought Tobi to my wedding venue so I could take photos with him! I would trust them with Tobi anytime!
Chloe is great! We boarded our puppy with her and her sweet dog over the weekend and our dog had a wonderful time - playing, going on walks and hanging out in her home. She gave us frequent updates with pics. We will definitely hire her again!
