“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”

“Matt was absolutely amazing! He took wonderful care of my dog, Kuna, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. I received updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that Kuna was well-loved and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience highly recommend Matt!”

“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”

“Jeffery, as advertised, is chill and he is WONDERFUL. Definitely a dog lover and really cared for our pup. Perfect with communication and sending pics and updates.”

“Raye is literally the best care we could ever found for our little escape artist. She’s super kind, caring, sweet and very transparent with her methods and care. Highly recommended! Gracias Raye!!!!”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Hilary was a terrific dog sitter for our 10 year old beagle- conscientious, friendly and so flexible, helping us out by picking up our dog for us. She sent us pictures every day to keep our "mom worries" under control. We feel fortunate to have found Hilary.”
“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”

“Julie took such good care of my energetic girl Indi! She seemed to be right at home in all of the pictures and got some good run time in in their spacious backyard. Definitely will be booking again!”

“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my 5 year old Samoyed for a long weekend! Drop off and pick up were easy. I received photos through out his stay. Her dog Tank is a big sweetheart. My pup returned home happy and well cared for in my absence. Highly recommend her boarding services, and I would definitely use her again in the future!”

“Alice came home from a long stay happy, relaxed, and waggy. Grateful to Ross and Ava for their thoughtful care, communication, flexibility, and laid back orientation. We (and by we, I do mean Alice…) will be back!”

“My dog’s stay with Taylor and her husband was great! She sent lots of updates and photos that showed my girl was really comfortable and cared for, and they were really flexible about pickup/drop off needs. I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”


“Tiffany was awesome, she took Roxie very last minute with open arms. She sent me pictures throughout the duration & kept me updated. I felt very comfortable & will definitely be back.”

“Lauren was willing to take Leo on short notice and she did amazing. She gave me a bunch of pictures of him and kept me updated. Would definitely bring Leo back”

“Donetta is the absolute best! She provided regular updates with photos over the course of my pup’s stay. She creates an environment that made my pup feel right at home. I could tell that Fiona had a great time because she came home completely exhausted. Donetta was also flexible when I needed to extend the reservation and additional night. Thank you so much. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!”

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Thank you so much to Le’Quitta and her family for taking such great care of Boss ☺️ She kept me updated with pictures and communicated well. Will definitely be rebooking! We knew he had a good time when he slept the majority of the day when we got him home❤️ Thanks again!!!”

“We had another great experience with Sarah as she took care of our little dog, Dash, for almost a week. She sent pictures of him throughout his stay, and he looked content. She kept an eye on some of his minor medical issues and was ready to apply medicine if needed. We were thankful that she also coordinated with our sister-in-law for pick up when we had not yet returned from our trip. All went smoothly. We hope to bring Dash back when we take future trips.”

Central Office dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our previous sitters/boarders moved away so Robert was combed through for months to find "someone" new. Aaren and Jordon stood out and they were amazing. Great personalities and we can tell that Niko felt right at home with them. He loves attention and you can tell he got plenty of it. They took him on walks (which he needed some good exercise). We love that for him. Sufficient updates and pics which is a major plus and reassurance when we're away. I think we found our new FAVZ.

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!

Evie was understanding when we had to cut our trip short, shortening the boarding time needed. She was flexible as I notified her on a daily basis that we would not be starting that day. When we dropped Brady off, we were happy to see that Evie lives in a well kept house in a safe neighborhood. She took really good care of Brady, giving him daily supplements, feeding him twice a day and taking him out for walks and plenty of bathroom breaks. Brady even got along with her friendly dog, named Cupid. She shared photos and a video of them playing. She's among the best boarders we've had on Rover.

My dog, Penny, had a great time with Michelle and her sweet dog!! Communication was great, and I didn’t worry once while we were out of town. This was my first time leaving my dog with Michelle, and I feel like I’ve hit the lottery!! Absolutely, the best experience and I will definitely be asking her to sit for Penny again…I actually think my dog is a little sad to be home. I cannot be more grateful…

Carolina was so attentive and caring with Tuna and really treated her like her own ❣️ I had to go on a long trip but Carolina's consistent updates and photos left me feeling really reassured that tuna was being cared for and was having a great time as well. Care instructions were diligently followed and her experience in caring for dogs really shines ⭐✨ would definitely recommend her boarding services and will be booking with Carolina again for future needs for sure!

My dog’s stay with Taylor and her husband was great! She sent lots of updates and photos that showed my girl was really comfortable and cared for, and they were really flexible about pickup/drop off needs. I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

Zahra was fantastic in every way! Awesome communication. My anxious pup was so well cared for every day that I was gone, and she was able to accommodate me on short notice after my other sitter ghosted me right before the holidays. I will absolutely hire her again and can't recommend her enough! Your furry friends are in great hands with her -- she truly treats them as her own -- and I am deeply appreciative of the care she gave Lacey. Would give six stars if I could!
