“Sally-Ann was an amazing caretaker for our dog Wallace. She was able to accommodate him on short notice and tend to a specific medical need that he had. She was extremely responsive and gave text and photo updates constantly. You can tell she really cares about the animals and goes out of her way to make sure they have a good time - she took our little guy to a beautiful park by the water.”
“William and his family have been amazing. I received updates and pictures every day I was away from my pitty and will absolutely be sending her back in the future. Thanks again William!”
“Juan was so great with my puppy. She gets excited now every time we pull up to his house. I was initially nervous since my puppy and I have never separated, but it’s been such a great experience for her and I know she looks forward to many more playdates and sleepovers!”
“I’m a first time Rover user and Omar went above and beyond to make everything super easy. I had to head out of town kind of last minute and needed boarding for my Pitbull Border Collie mix, Sage. We met up beforehand so he could meet her and I could meet him, and I really can’t say enough good things. Omar made me feel at ease right away and was great with Sage. She was instantly comfortable around him. When I dropped her off she didn’t even look back at me, which honestly says it all. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, and was always on time for drop off and pickup. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I’ll absolutely be booking with Omar again. 🐐”

She knows him so well and you can tell she really takes each pet's unique personalities and considerations into account while they are there at her home. I feel very secure leaving Preston in her care and know he has a lot of fun every time he visits!”
“Every time my dog gets home from being with Katherine she is sad and just sits at the door. That means so much to me. She loves to be with Katherine and her sweet Udin. Eventually she wakes up to realty and starts to play with her toys. Thank you Katherine so much!!! ❤️”
“I reached out to Vanessa when our usual dog sitter was not available. We had a meet and greet, before the we confirmed the booking. She was friendly and our dog seemed comfortable around her. She was very responsive and took care of our dog very well. We would definitely use her again.”

“This is the first time I was away from my Sassy girl. Samantha made the weekend so relaxing and worry free. Very professional and got Sassy to do things she didn’t do before. Thank you so much. I will definitely look to have Sassy visit her new friend.”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Kristin was so wonderful with my cat Maia! Kristin accepted my request quickly, was really friendly and sent me video and photo updates of Maia throughout the week. Maia looked really happy too! So grateful to Kristin and will be requesting her again in the future to watch Maia. Thank you Kristin!”
“John, took excellent care of our girl Cici. He was very communicative and always sent me pictures of her. She came back extremely happy. Cici is definitely looking forward staying with John again!”

Veronica and her family spoiled my toy poodle fur baby Rosie. My family and I went away for 6 days and got stuck in Mexico for an extra day due to a flight delay. I messaged her to inform her and ask if she could keep my fur baby an extra day and she responded happily that she would. They treated Rosie like their own fur baby and catered to all her needs. I will only trust Godmom Veronica with Rosie and am so extremely blessed to have found her. She sent me videos and pictures daily and her family loved on her so much I worried she had forgotten me, because she looked so incredibly happy. It put my mind at ease and although I missed her I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m so thankful to God to have found the wonderful family that loves my baby Rosie.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dog Sitter! Nicole went above and beyond taking care of my dog! From the very start, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. I received daily updates and the most beautiful pictures that truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pup was not only well taken care of, but also genuinely happy and comfortable. Nicole even gave my dog a bath before I returned — such a thoughtful extra touch! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!
I cannot say enough good things about Christina. She was absolutely wonderful with my small dog who is not the best house guest. She was very patient and kind and kept me informed the whole time during the 7-day boarding period in her home. I would highly recommend her and definitely book her again. My dog was very happy and healthy when I picked him up to go home. This was my first experience using Rover.com and Christina is certainly a great example of how dog boarding should be. She kept me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing I didn't have anything to worry about. If you are lucky enough to get Christina to watch your pet, you will be very. very happy and so will your pet!
Amanda was simply incredible. Zoey can be distrustful of others and a bit timid in other peoples home but with Amanda she was calm, comfortable and well taken care off. Amanda sang beautiful songs while she slept and gave her great cuddles. Zoey now has another member in her pack.
Loved Mary’s disposition, calmness and caring for our dog. Mallie (our rescue dog) is sweet but can be a handful. Mary took exceptional care of her, dealt with her occasional special needs and was probably more calm about things that happened than we were. We always felt that Mallie was in caring, experienced hands. And this was for a two week period. We feel very lucky to have found Mary and would use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.
I left my elderly Little Lady with Anny during a family emergency and she was able to help out on such short notice. Anny bought snacks for Reina and kept her fed and very happy :) Anny let me know everyday how happy and secure Reina was. I knew she was with an amazing and loving family for the weekend. They even left me with the most beautiful Valentines day basket afterwards with a custom blanket and printed photos! Literally could not have asked for a better situation ❤️😊
