“Joayne and her kids were great with Frankie. She shared pictures and kept us updated with quick messages about her days. Communication was very clear, making the meet & greet thru pick-up a breeze.”

“Betsy took excellent care of my two year old morkie Maisie! Lots of walks and snuggles. Photo updates a few times daily. Will call her again for future travel plans. She even dropped Maisie off for me to make it easier!”

“Barbara treated our sweet girl as her own while we were out of the country for more than a week. The two bonded extremely well and we had complete confidence in Barbara’s caretaking abilities. This included administering medicines and grooming routines. We were so lucky that Barbara was available over the holidays and highly recommend her to others seeking loving care of their pup!”

“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”

“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”


“Lydia was fantastic! She is very warm and welcoming and took great care of our 2 little Morkies. This was our first time boarding our dogs and Lydia sent lots of pictures and showed us how well they all were doing. It was very much appreciated and we will definitely book with her again!”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”

“Ida had a wonderful weekend, and made some friends while I was away. Celia definitely catered to her quirks, and Ida acted like she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Our pups returned tired and happy from playing at McKenzie’s! She sent plenty of photos of them with the other pups. And her location is super convenient near the airport.”


“Howie and Betsy were so great with our puppy. You can tell they love dogs!! Yoshi was very well cared for and communication was super easy. I will definitely being using Howie again in the future”

“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”

“Gigi provides a safe, comfortable and loving environment for Anna (dog) while we’re out of town. We never worry since we know she’s giving our pet the best possible care.”

“Erin was a great pet sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog. She accepted our meet and greet request right away and we were happy with Erin, her dog Eggie and her home and fenced yard. Erin did a great job providing us with regular updates and photos. She was also flexible with changes to our travel plans. We recommend Erin if you are looking for a dog sitter in the metro area.”


“We are so happy when Doc and Heather have room for Luna. She always has a fabulous time and the photos we receive are so heartwarming and often hilarious! We can’t say enough about the care she receives and recommend them wholeheartedly!”

“Kira was a wonderful sitter and took great care of Mushu, I appreciated her frequent daily updates throughout the entire duration. Mushu got along well with her adorable dogs as well. Highly recommend her and will definitely have her look after Mushu again in the future. :) thank you Kira!!”

“Lan has watched my puppy Posie a couple times now and she takes such great care of her! She’s super accommodating- my flight was delayed this past weekend and she was very nice about keeping my puppy longer than planned. Highly recommend her!”

“Ashlie and her family were so wonderful with our pup Alfie. We were anxious to leave him for two weeks, but after meeting them we knew he would be in good hands. I got lots of updates and photos while away. We will definitely reach out to them again when we need someone to care for him again.”

“Kiirsten was a great communicator before and during her care of my old, blind dog. I was confident that the dog was in a good place, which made my vacation stress free. Easy drop off and pick up. The experience couldn't have been better.”

“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”

Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Not only did Misty and Brian accept a last minute request, they made the whole weekend amazing. I didn't once worry about my little guy because I received many photos throughout the day, with messages as well about how he was doing. It was obvious he was having the time of his life and even though it was his first time away from home, he didn't seem to mind whatsoever. They took wonderful care of him and I look forward to the next time he goes to them, because there will be a next time!!! Misty was also the only one of the several pet sitters I messaged in my desperate attempt to get someone to watch him, that wanted a meet and greet first. That's how you know she cares, because she wanted to make sure MY pup was comfortable. They genuinely care about dogs, and it shows through every message, through every picture and through every sigh of relief you will breathe knowing your baby is okay in their hands.

McKenzie is AMAZING!! My dog Charlee had some nasty hot spots before the visit and I was nervous about her care and leaving her behind but McKenzie went ABOVE AND BEYOND! Sending me pictures and updates, my sweet Charlee had a blast and feeling so much better! Will for sure book again!

I had a great experience with Helga. I left my Shiba Inu, Yami, in her care, and he warmed up to her much quicker than he usually does with new people. She provided frequent photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Yami was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout his stay. I really appreciated her communication and patience. I would definitely trust her with Yami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Z is so tired! He came straight home and snuggled in on the couch with me after a night away at Jesika's. She's got an amazing place with a nice, shady, grassy area right out front for taking pups out and she's close to plenty of trails. I'd be more than happy to use her Rover services again.

Sally was amazing! We had never left our dog with someone he didn't know well and were worried how it would go, but she offered to do a meetup first to see how things went. The meetup went well. During Link's stay, she sent us pictures and let us know how he was settling in, keeping us at ease.

Doc and Heather were great sitters for Scarlet while we were out of town. Daily updates and photos showing Scarlet was comfortable and enjoying the time in their home. Having her in good hands takes away a lot of the worry while on vacation. Would recommend Doc and Heather anytime if you’re in need of good care for the pup.

Michelle and Stewie were the perfect match for my lil doggo. My dog Fiona is a little shy and awkward around new people. Michelle was great with giving fiona the right amount of attention and space so she could get comfortable. Her dog Stewie, on the other hand, seemed to get fiona right away made clear that they were going to be friends. According to the regular updates we received, Fiona was making herself at home and chillin' with her vacation pack without a thought for us (which is AMAZING for our sweet little rescue). Michelle also does day care in addition to boarding, so Fiona got some extra socialization with other four legged friends and had a blast! The videos and photos of Fiona, Stewie, and friends on walks or playing gave us a ton of joy and peace of mind that Fiona was in good hands. My wife and I are thankful we met Michelle and Stewie. They're definitely our first call the next time we need a dog sitter.

Iris did a great job with Tink (dog) & Leeli (cat)! She communicated very quickly and clearly, and was prompt, courteous, and professional throughout. She not only provided pictures, but she also shared her observations and insight for future boarding opportunities. (E.g.: reflections on how our cat integrated with two dogs, etc) We will definitely keep iris's name at the top of our list for boarding needs.

Deneen took wonderful care of my dog for 5 days. He was pampered with many walks and snuggles. We received regular updates and communication before and throughout the visit. Deneen successfully administered medicine for an ear infection, which is easier said than done asy dog is incredibly particular and sensitive about his ears. We are very grateful for the care received!
