Channelside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Keith was great! He provided a lot of updates and pictures and Myla seemed super happy when I picked her up.

My dog was very happy and was treated well. He came home tired from walking and playing all day long. Would hire again!

Olivia was great! She was responsive and super easy to work with, and I got Bella back happy and healthy after over a week.

McKay was so thoughtful and attentive with providing updates of our pup! George was the best playmate!

Best dog sitter! I loved the pictures and videos Katie sent during Leo’s stay at her house! It gave me peace of mind and made me happy knowing he was enjoying his time! Would recommend Katie to anyone!

I always have total peace of mind when I’m traveling because I know my little Charlie is in the best hands with her. He’s so happy and well cared for every time. Thank you for making it so easy to be away!

Jocelyn is amazing!! She’s so kind and you can genuinely tell that she loves dogs! She provided my pup with great care and provided me with lots of updates and pictures! I had total peace of mind knowing that my pup was in great hands while I was away.

We had never left Jjong with anyone else for 11 years. This was the first time we had him with Matthew, and he updated us with pictures on the first day, which made us feel comfortable. I have no hesitation in contacting Matthew. I will be entrusting him with my work again when the opportunity arises.

Calix is the best!! Calix was very flexible when our flights were getting delayed and was available last minute!!

Alyse was the best! Her communication was amazing and her flexibility with a last minute sitting request was greatly appreciated. Our dog absolutely loved being at her home from the moment she got there! I loved receiving the photo updates. I honestly feel like I scored the dog-sitter jackpot by connecting with Alyse. I highly recommend her and will definitely become a return customer!

Benny was so happy to get to stay with AK a second time. She is super caring of our senior dog with special dietary/medicine needs and separation anxiety. Thank you, AK!

Rachel is great as always! This was Nori’s first sleepover with Rachel and her pup and she loved it.

Sara accomodated me and my dog with a last-minute request for a lengthy one-day stay. She is friendly and attentive and kept me updated on the stay with photos and comments throughout the day. This was my first time having Sara take care of my little one and I will be looking to have her take care of him many more times in the future.

Highly recommend. Madison was amazing with my pup Indie. She sent lots of pictures and updates & I felt so assured that my girl was well taken care of.

Priscilla was great! She tooo great care of Wally and was very accommodating and communicative. Will definitely be rebooking with her.

Diane and her husband gave my puppy a real home and lots of love. They already have a small dog, so my Ruby had someone to play with. She went on walks, and was well taken care of. I will think of Diane first, the next time I need help taking care of my puppy while I am gone.

Porsche had the best time staying with Allie and Matthew! And I loved getting the updates and photos of all the fun she was having during her stay as well!

Eileen took such good care of my schnauzer! This was the first time I’ve left my pup with someone he doesn’t know and I have no doubt she treated him with such good care. She sent me multiple updates a day with how he was doing and pictures which warmed my heart and eased my mind. I will definitely be using Eileen again next time I need a sitter for my pup!
