“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”

“Nani loved her stay with Paige! Not only did she go right in and make herself at home, she enjoyed lots of rubs and cuddles the whole time! I can’t praise enough the great communication and flexibility when requesting additional time. Please know, your fur family will be well cared for in this home!”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”

“Hatsuki’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”

“Ashleigh and Bill took incredible care of my pup while I was out of town for a week. They sent plenty of pictures of him playing with their dogs and made sure I knew he was well taken care of. I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for great care, and to those with dogs that love to play!”

“Kyri W took excellent care of our puppies. Even on short notice she accepted our puppies into her home gave us daily updates videos and pictures. That made us feel like they were in great hands. Her interactions with our puppies let me know that they trust her too.”

“Carmen took great care of my puppy, Luna, for 9 days. She was reliable, communicative, and very loving. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”


“Nate and Whitney did an amazing job watching Mac! They sent many updates and pictures of how Mac was doing while he stayed with them. When I picked him up the next day he was exhausted so it is safe to say he had a blast staying with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Casey is fantastic. She did an excellent job with Chewy. We appreciate the care and attention he received and her willingness to accommodate our last-minute travel arrangements.”


“Very caring and kind people. I had my boy, Little Buddy, do an overnight stay as a test run for when I go on vacation in a few months. I've never "boarded" my dog before. When I Google searched, most of the places showed pictures that seemed so sterile, concrete and linoleum, with so many dogs milling around I was afraid Buddy would be intimidated, overwhelmed, scared, and well, unhappy. So I thought I'd try Rover.com and see if I could find someone who would maybe LIKE having my sweet boy around. I loved Jessica and Carol's profile, especially with pictures. Jessica sent me pictures during his stay so I could see him exploring in the back yard with the other dogs, and lounging around on the dog beds. All things that he does at home! So I knew he felt comfortable. And, more importantly, I felt comfortable having him there. I will absolutely use their services again. THANK YOU, JESSICA AND CAROL! :-)”
“Karin was absolutely amazing! She opened her home up to my puppy Bentley! She gave exceptional care to him. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable! She gave updates throughout the days she kept him and he even interacted with her dog. I give her 12/10 stars. She was absolutely wonderful and trustworthy with my baby boy!”


“Gregory was a great sitter and helped our dog Doodle feel right at home. He also sent videos and pictures that helped us see how great of a time Doodle was having. We would definitely use Gregory again!”
“Amber was amazing! We have never left our dog with anyone but family until this stay but since we were out of town for our wedding everyone was going to be gone with us. Amber made Scout feel right at home, setting him up on the couch with his favorite blankets and toys when he was too anxious to lay down on his bed or in the bedroom, and she sent us plenty of updates/ pictures that we could show our son when he was missing him. Amber and her husband took him on long walks every day and got him plenty worn out to help him sleep at night, and gave him lots of love and attention which he wouldn't have gotten being boarded at a kennel or having someone just stop in to check on him all week. We would definitely use Amber's service again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter! I knew our pup was in good hands and he had a great time :)”

“Michelle is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She worked with me as my dates changed which helped me a great deal. She's also well knowledgeable about dog's behavior. I will hire her again for my dog, Josie.”

Bill was amazing! He helped me out last minute when it didn’t work out with a sitter and I had to travel the next day. He had a great fenced in yard and quiet neighborhood so I felt at ease having Ni Ni there. Bill sent updates and took wonderful care of her. Will definitely book again!
