“Hi Patti and Patric! I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU for taking care of my furry friend, Kirani, while I was away on vacation. You guys were absolutely awesome! It's not easy finding someone as dependable and caring as you both. See you guys again on November!”

“I was surprised to see when my brother picked up our dogs they weren’t as excited as they usually are - because they were so comfortable staying with Curtis and his family!”
3. Anna L.
“Anna did a great job with my standard poodle. He was introduced to her two dogs and they had a chance to get acquainted before another dog came later in the day. All of them got along well. I would use her again.”
4. Jackie R.
“Jackie and the family were great. I felt comfortable right out of the gate that our dog would be in good hands. Her dogs kept ours company with lots of playing out in their fences in yard and she even took them on walks. The kids helped out and Jackie sent pictures and updates throughout which was much appreciated. We will be trusting them with our dog again in the future for sure!”

8. Lisa M.
“Lisa took excellent care of my puppers! She was a godsend since my other sitter had to cancel a few days before my trip due to a family emergency. It was also my first time using Rover for booking both sitters - so it was a little stressful for me! But Lisa was great and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Thank you soo much!!”
9. Lauren & Jacob G.
“Jacob and Lauren did a great job caring for my high-energy pup! He was thrilled to have so many other dogs around to play with, and I appreciated receiving a video update to see how he was fitting into the group immediately upon drop-off. Jacob and Lauren also provided me with an awesome Pawgress Report detailing how he did during the visit, and they even provided a toy for us to take home! I would definitely use Jacob and Lauren's services again!”
10. Sophia & Travis F.
“Our girls just LOVE going to the farm, when we pull up they go crazy because they know they are about to have the best time. Our sweet Rosie, who is pretty much scared of her own shadow, just thrives with Sophia and Travis! We saw her out in the play area having so much fun and enjoying life; it made my heart so happy! We are so happy we found them; Sophia and Travis have our highest recommendation!”
11. Dave N.
“My Lumi had a great time at Dave’s. She can be shy of new people but she took to him right away! You can tell how much he truly loves and cares about animals. If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog, I would 100% recommend Dave. I will definitely be reaching out to him in the future!”

“Thank you Kayti Mayzie lover her weekend experience with your family. We will be back next chance we get. It was nice having her socialize with your 2 pups 🐾💪🏽🙌”
19. Sandra S.
“Sandy was great! This was our first time using her and I was a little concerned because my dog is somewhat anxious in new situations. She really worked to help him become comfortable in the new surroundings. Within an hour of leaving him I had two messages with pictures letting me know he had settled in. I was so happy that he was in good hands and it is clear she goes above and beyond to make sure the dog is relaxed and content when he is with her. We will be using Sandy again!”
20. Brenda & Alvin M.
“Always dependable. When I secure a spot for Murphy he gets more than just daycare....he gets authentic love and guidance and comes home calm and relaxed. I appreciate the dog socialization Murphy gets from many Rover homes but in this home he gets the individual human attention I can't always provide him as they don't take many pets at a time. I really appreciate these two dog lovers!”
