“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time boarding with Todd and Bill and they sent pictures and videos during Rio’s stay. He was calm and happy when I picked him up. We will be back for our December vacation! 👍”
“Ami is the greatest sitter we have ever had on Rover . Not only did she book us at the last moment her care for Stella was more than I could ever imagined. I knew Ami was kind and caring when Stella and I first met her and I am very cautious about using just any sitter. Ami kept us updated with photos and brushed her fur while sitting. Stella actually came back looking better than before I took her to Ami! She is the best and will always be my choice of sitters.”
“Nancy was so awesome! This was my first time leaving my pup for an overnight stay and I’m so glad I chose her. Rufio was so happy to be with her and her family. She sent updates of my little guy throughout his stay. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Whitney was great! We were so grateful that she took such good care of our Carly! From the first moment she met our dog we knew she would be in good hands. Whitney went the extra mile to make sure Carly was safe and happy! Carly was well taken care of and Whitney sent pictures everyday! We would highly recommend Whitney to anyone that needs a caregiver for their dog!”
“This was our very first experience using Rover boarding our 5 month old Viszla puppy, Copper. From the initial communication, to the Meet & Greet and during our dog’s boarding, it couldn’t have been a better experience. We chose Natalie & Ruben because of their stellar reviews and sweet family. We really appreciated the updates, photos and videos and knew Copper was well cared for. Thank you again ❤️?”
“Vanessa is a rockstar. She sent us multiple photos & videos of our dog Zeus and it made us so happy! We’re always nervous having someone watch Zeus when we go out of town but now that we’ve found Vanessa, we feel so comfortable and happy knowing he’s in great hands with her.”
“Jinni took a very good care of Tigra. She is very responsive, and it was easy to onboard, communicate and followed feeding instructions. Looked like my cat loved being with Jinni a lot!”
“Savanah was so caring to our 16 year old dog, Zulu. Unfortunately, our senior dog requires extra attention due to his dementia and separation anxiety. Savanah showed compassion and made every effort to care for Zulu and make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Savanah for everything! We really appreciate it.”
“Alex took amazing care of my beagle, Rusty, on super short notice—and I couldn’t be more grateful. He was incredibly kind, communicative, and sent multiple photos of Rusty enjoying his walks, which totally put my mind at ease. Rusty told me he had a blast and felt totally safe and loved 🐾😊. I’d absolutely trust Alex again in a heartbeat!”
“Erika was a wonderful caretaker for my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures every single day. My dog looked so relaxed and happy at her place! I can tell he had a great time with her doggie too. I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“Layla was amazing! She was so accommodating when we changed up our drop off and pick up times. She sent us endless photos that showed our dog was super happy and well taking cared of. She was super friendly and truly a wonderful dog sitter! We will definitely use her again.”
“Rebecca spoiled my doggo so much when he was with her! I don't think he missed me at all! She took him to the dog park and he got lots of love the whole time! Thank you!!!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Gorilla on such short notice. He had the best time with your dogs and I could tell how comfortable he was with all of your photos/updates. Will rebook next time we’re out of town. Appreciate you for sharing your loving home with our fur pup. 💜”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
