1. Kimberly M.
“Great experience with Kimberly. This was my first time with overnight boarding for my dog for 9 days. Kimberly kept in touch with me about Bella and also sent pictures. My Bella was very anxious in the beginning and I feel Kimberly met her needs to keep her calm. She even afford to give my dog pills to help with the anxiety. Kimberly was also kind enough to wait for our delayed fight even though we went about 2.5 hours past the pick up time for Bella, she was very understanding. I glad that I found her. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old pup. She communicated promptly and well. Very pleased with how my pup was cared for and returned home!”
4. Jenn & Brian H.
“Jenn and Brian were fantastic! They made sure Millie was comfortable and got along with their dogs very well. She was all tuckered out after I picked her up. I would use their services again!”
5. Brie O.
“Brie watched my dog for a weekend and was an amazing pet sitter! She gave me updates throughout the weekend and always quick to respond when I checked up on her. This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter as well and it made me feel so relieved as I knew my dog would be in great hands after our first initial meet. I am 100% going to have her to be a pet sitter again in the future as I know she will give the my dog the correct attention and care that my dog needs! I highly recommend Brie as she will be attentive and will keep you informed constantly on how your dog is doing and will care for your dog as if it were her own!!”

10. Erika B.
“As all true dog lovers know, a dog is not just a pet, it is a member of the family. As such, I am very cautious about where and who I leave my dog with. As we had never had to leave our Violet with anyone, my wife and I were very worried when we had to leave our girl for almost 2 weeks. We did not feel comfortable boarding her at a kennel as we didn’t think she would respond well to that environment. So, we went to Rover to see if we could find someone we thought would be a good fit for our Violet. After reading multiple write ups on various Rover sitters, we found Erika who we thought looked like a good fit and was close to our home. At our meet and greet with Erika, my wife and I had perfect peace as we met with Erika and saw the home where Violet would be staying. Erika had a warm and inviting home, a fenced in backyard, and the perfect playmate, ( her dog Huxley) for our girl Violet. My wife and I decided immediately that this home and sitter would be the perfect fit for Violet. We were not disappointed! Erika loved our Violet as much as she loved her own dog and showered her with love and affection. She sent us daily pictures and videos of Violet and her dog playing, napping, and just having a wonderful time. She was having so much fun. We jokingly, worried that Violet wouldn’t want to come home with us after spending time with Erika. Ha Ha. In summary, any dog would be lucky to spend time with Erika. She is an amazing person and we were so happy we found her. This app only let me put in a rating of 5 stars, but if I could have, I would have put in 10 or more stars in rating her performance. We would definitely use Erika again in the future, if and when we needed to board our Violet. My only worry is that after reading my review of Erika, everyone will want to board with her and I won’t be able to have my Violet stay with her when I next need her. Ha ha.”
11. Valerie J.
“Valerie took great care of our pup on short notice. She was very flexible with time, which we appreciated since we were only staying in the area for a night.”
12. Mariana & Enrique M.
“Mariana & Enrique were absolutely incredible! Our pup can be a little needy and have some anxiety and they both were so understanding and patient with her. They kept us up to date with pictures and videos throughout the visit which was very reassuring! We felt more than comfortable leaving her with them & will without a doubt be returning customers! Our pup loved her stay with them :)”
13. Meghana Devi P.
“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”
14. Monica T.
“Monica was amazing with our dog and our sister-in-law's dog. The sister in laws dog is elderly and higher maintenance in terms of food and meds and things and needs more special care, and he was definitely in good hands with Monica. She knows how to love your dog the way you do❤️”
15. Ashley & Phillip G.
“Ashley and Phillip always do an amazing job taking care of Westley. He’s always so excited when he goes to their house for a visit and Ashley does a great job of sending daily updates and photos. Thank you!”
16. Khyshwaunna N.
“Our pup had a great stay with Khyshwaunna! She was easy to book and communicate with. Provided updates and photos throughout the stay. Her dog Kemba is very sweet and great with other dogs. The fenced in playground nearby is perfect for the dogs to play and burn some energy. We will definitely book again!”
17. amanda j.
“I have known Amanda for a long time. She is an animal lover through and through. She loves to snuggle and pet and give all the attention to every dog she meets. She would be a great dog walker/sitter for anyone.”
18. Ariana B.
“Ariana was wonderful while looking after my little guy. She was punctual, communicated well, and coordinated well with our hectic schedule. She also made sure our little cat was comfortable and kept us updated. Our little cat came back to our home very energetic, which showed he had a fun time while staying with Ariana. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again.”
19. Melissa L.
“Melissa had our pup overnight for one night and it was a great experience! Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we got cute updates along the way. Thanks Melissa!”
20. Alex N.
“This was my first time using Rover - I was concerned about leaving my puppy for the first time and Alex was absolutely wonderful. He made sure that Roxy was comfortable and at home with him at his house. He sent me regular updates regarding Roxy so I never needed to worry. Roxy loved staying with him so much she was sad to leave. would definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking for someone to watch their dogs. You’ll never feel more comfortable leaving them with someone else!”
