“Our dog, Leia, had a great time staying with Cassidy! Leia can have separation anxiety in new places, but felt completely comfortable at Cassidy’s house and loved playing with her two dogs all week. Thanks Cassidy for making Leia feel right at home!”

“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”

“Jennifer not only took my dog into her loving home and treated him as one of her own she took out the stress of leaving him by providing daily updates. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their pet and I'll definitely be using her services again next time. Thank you Jennifer!”

“Betsy is absolutely amazing!!! She was extremely communicative about my dog's stay, she sent pics and eased my stress of letting me know how the stay was going with regular updates, it was my first time using Rover and I will definitely use it again! Thank you Betsy!”

“I had a last minute trip come up, and needed someone to watch my dog Nala on short notice. I rarely travel, and I work from home so I was a little worried about her separation anxiety. Amanda took amazing care of Nala, made sure she felt comfortable and safe. She provided regular photo updates, as well as keeping me informed of how Nala was eating and sleeping, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Nala had a great time playing fetch, going for walks, and snuggling on the couch. Amanda even sent her home with a cute home-made treat box (all made of ingredients that were sensitive to Nala’s allergies!). I’ll definitely be booking with Amanda again next time I need pet care - Amanda, thank you again for taking such good care of Nala!”

“Excellent, very attentive to my dog, I often report the games and affection to my dog. I recommend it 100%. Communication was excellent. Of course, next time I will count on her.”

“Sarah is a truly marvelous dog sitter! I was traveling for about 2 weeks and was a bit anxious about leaving my dog for that long but she and her family watched my 9 month old husky as if he were their own dog. She sent pics the entire time and each pic showed a very happy dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time and would highly recommend her.”

“Nathan is absolutely amazing! I had a death in my family and my sitter bailed hours before I was suppose to leave for South Dakota. Requested him I think at 7am. He responded instantly and I was able to drop off my old girl by 10am. Truly a life saver!! My old girl has higher needs and he didn’t even blind an eye! He took notes on her behavior and went above and beyond. I can’t say enough good things about this experience and it was my first experience with rover!!”

“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Megan and Mike were fabulous caregivers to our pup! They sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. They gave her lots of love and cuddles and followed all our instructions for food, walks, etc. Highly recommend such a sweet family!”

“Jennifer and Eric did a great job taking care of our dog! They are so kind and communicative. I loved receiving photos of Bunny during her stay! It brightened my day while being away from home!”

“Lindsay is amazing and Monty loved his time with her and her family. She always kept me informed on my dog’s status with photos and updates. Would highly recommend her for dog sitting as she’ll be our go to sitter.”

“My dog has stayed with Sarah twice, and both times he was in good hands! Sarah does a great job, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding or other pet care.”

“This was the first time our dog was left with anyone for more than an overnight. He was so happy and comfortable there! We loved all the great pictures of him and his buddy, Cooper. Rochelle took great care of him and kept this active guy busy with walks and playing. We would definitely bring him back again!”

“Erin and Ramon cared for our two little dogs and did an amazing job. They are fully set up in their home to care for little dogs and they are so knowledgeable because of their own dogs. Our older dog can sometimes be slow to eat and they took their time with him and made sure he got what he needed. Our younger dog is terrified of many things and they were kind and patient with all the fireworks over the holiday. We will definitely have Erin and Ramon watch our dogs again. They are great.”

“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”

“We had our dog Bean stay with Kristie and Bryan when my wife and I were in the hospital welcoming our new baby! They were so flexible and even came to pick up bean since we were already in the hospital. We were so relieved that Bean had a safe and fun place to be. The updates and pictures were just what we needed to feel sure he was getting the best care and attention.”

Columbia Heights pet 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 🥰
