“Terri was absolutely wonderful! She had two meet and greets with us to make sure my fur baby was comfortable and then she sent me at least 4 pictures every day with updates of how he was doing while I was gone. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Sarah was great! My dog had a great time and it seemed our dog became part of their family for the week. Communication and updates were consistent! We’ll definitely bring our dog back next time we travel.”
“I cannot recommend Dave enough! He took such good care of my pup Taco. He sent pics every day and included some details about Taco's stay. I really appreciated Dave's flexibility when my flight home was delayed by six hours--not arriving until 2:30 AM. He was able to keep Taco a bit longer--life saver! We haven't been home long, but I'm pretty sure Taco misses Dave. I feel like Taco made a new friend and that means everything to me. Thank you Dave!”
“Bryan was great. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there they cut me updated sent pictures and even had a nice little note and card with a little picture of Archie when I picked them up highly recommend”
“We had Erin watch our 6 month old puppy while we were out of town for a few days and had a great experience. Communication was great with several pictures along with comments of how he was doing each day. I will definitely book again in the future as needed!”
“Dustin is a gem! He took care of tilly and I am grateful. He knows dogs and their behavior and what he needs to do. Truly a SUPER STAR. I will book with him again! Jo Ann”
“Maria was AMAZING with my little Potato! For the first time, all our family and friends did not work out, so I found Rover and I was off to the races. I was so worried about leaving him with a veritable stranger for a week, but it worked out perfectly. Maria was good to meet at her place briefly before I booked just to make sure all was well, which of course it was. She sent so many pics and vids! It’s clear he spent plenty of time with the family, not sitting in a small space all day like he would have been if boarded elsewhere. She even took him on a walk one day when it was a little less deathly freezing out. Thank you so much Maria!”
“As a several times over repeat customer, I could not be more pleased with the care my dog gets from Colleen and Joe. I feel so comfortable leaving her with them, I can just fully focus on my trip. Many nice updates, great communication, friendly and kind people. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Our dog Bug had an amazing time staying with Martha and Eric. They were so sweet to him and sent lots of photos and video updates. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Our dog had another great stay with Sue and Craig! It's obvious that they appreciate our dog's personality and that makes us know they give her lots of love and attention.”
“My dog had a great time. Pamela sent updates and pictures throughout his stay and her whole family played with him and gave him lots of affection. He was treated just like a member of their family.”
“We left Paula with Amy for a night out of town! We received updates and pictures and Amy kept us in the loop. Very easy drop off and pick up. She is very flexible! Will definitely be using her again:)”
“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“You were amazing. You took care of my baby and kept me updated on your activities. You even agree to keep him for few more hrs due to our fight arriving late. I do appreciate you for going above and beyond for us.”
“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”
“We feel very fortunate to have found Timothy on rover . Our furbaby Magoo has been boarded under Timothy's care for many times over the last year. Magoo loves spending time over there and absolutely recommend Timothy for anyone looking forward to boarding their pets .”
“Promise took great care of my dog, he made friends with her dogs, and he looked great when we picked him up him up. Would definitely recommend her, and bring him back again!”
“Alvin had a fabulous time with Elsa and Nick. He learned how to go down stairs and jump onto the sofa. After 2 years I have never been able to teach hi. To see him happily descending stairs was a wonderful shock. It was wonderful to receive pictures, videos and updates daily. Alvin has only stayed away from me twice, and often ignores my visitors. So seeing how much he enjoyed his one on one pampering by Elsa and Nick was wonderful. I will be booking a date in May. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“This was our first time working with Susan and she took wonderful care of our Naboo. Susan was communicative and was very responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience in Rover!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
Columbia Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Grace is awesome! We were going out of town for memorial day weekend for a wedding and totally forgot to book a dog sitter until the week before. Woody loved his time with Grace and it’s clear that he was very well taken care of. Grace is awesome at communicating before, during, and after the reservation. she took TONS of photos of Woody throughout the days that he was there and the constant updates from her were so nice and so needed since this was my first time using a dog sitter on rover. i’m such an anxious dog mom but Grace really eased my mind with her updates and photos which i appreciated so much.
We are so thankful for Elsa and would highly recommend her! She watched our dog Benji for the first time as we left for a trip, but we had a stressful situation two days before dropping him off. Benji got sick and had new medication as well as an unpredictable stomach. We almost had to change our travel plans last minute but she insisted on helping us! We are so glad she did and Benji loved staying with her. Luckily he got way better while we were gone and all was good. Elsa followed all his new medication instructions without a problem and was very good at communicating with us on his recovery which we appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and look forward to booking with Elsa again!
Erika was so great with our pup! We loved getting updates and knowing he was living his best life (hanging in the yard, meeting new friends, getting lots of snuggles, etc!), and we appreciated Erika's communication, especially when some rainstorms were making him really anxious. 😭 We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.
Eric and Martha are AMAZING!!! Crue and Cali had the best time cuddling up with them, playing in the yard, taking daily walks and more ☀️ I loved the frequent photos and videos to see how much fun they were having. It was such a peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were on vacation. We can’t wait to see them again next time 🥰
