1. Royal & Rhonda P.

“I left my dog, Bonnie with Royal and Rhonda, and they were amazing! It was my first time leaving Bonnie in someone else’s care and they made it so easy and stress-free and were incredibly friendly. They really know their stuff and have a great setup for dogs. Bonnie had a blast and I loved the frequent updates. Highly recommend!”


2. John K.

“John was awesome - he was flexible to take our 2 dogs very last minute for 2 weeks. I got daily updates and pictures from him and it was easy to see he loves animals and really cared for our doggos. So many pictures of them getting snuggles and playing. Highly recommended! Thank you John for the clear communication and care.”


3. Alexandra O.

“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”


4. Michelle T.

“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”




5. DAMACIA J.

“She was great! I left my pup with her for two weeks and she sent me updates of him daily. She even bathed him 3 times and I was happy that he also had other dogs to play with and kept him busy. I definitely recommend her and will be coming back for my future trips 😁”


6. Cindy T.


“Tino and Coco love visiting Cindy and her pups .. which is a miracle because Tino is an alpha dog who does not always get along with other dogs. Cindy does a great job letting us know they are doing well with texts and pictures”




7. Tiffany B.


“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”




8. Hilary R.


“Hilary and her family were great with Dallas! We are so thankful to have been able to place him in the care of a wonderful family while we traveled out of the area and celebrated our youngest daughter’s birthday ?”


9. Matt M.

“I can’t say thank Matt enough! He is an amazing host. As a new dog dad after more than 20 yrs, I was a little panicked trying to figure out who to trust with my rescue pup for the night. After a simple Google search, I came across Matt’s profile. Read the reviews, the number of repeat stays and decided to download this app. Matt arranged a meet and greet. He put me at ease right away and Sawyer enjoyed the brief meeting. Booking was simple. Drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Sawyer had a great say and I couldn’t be happier! I’d recommend Matt to friends and family without hesitation.”


10. Abby M.


“Abby was a wonderful sitter for my two large Dobermans. The oldest has cancer and the youngest, I admit, is a spoiled handful. Abby was knowledgeable in the handling of both. I recommend her highly.”


11. Raye J.

“Jax had an amazing time with Raye! I appreciate her communication and how she cares to make it a great experience. I will def be rebooking in the future.”




12. Kaitlin H.

“Kaitlin was great!! Our puppy went right to her when we dropped him off. She gave us updates throughout the weekend and sent pictures which we so appreciated. This was our first time leaving our puppy overnight with someone and Kaitlin helped put our mind at ease. We will definitely use Kaitlin again!”


13. Maggie S.


“Taking our two yorkies to Maggie's was like leaving them with family. Our yorkies are usually nervous around new people, but they settled in very quickly at her house. Maggie's older two dogs also seemed to reassure and calm them. I would definitely recommend Maggie for providing great care and treating your fur family like part of her family.”


14. Ashley R.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ashley was great with Snickerdoodle. She is very thoughtful and attentive to details. We could instantly see that she loves animals :). As a bonus, she sent us super cute pictures/updates while we were away. I highly recommend Ashley!”


15. Megan G.

“Megan was wonderful. She took great care of our Roxie and sent us daily text updates with pictures. Anytime Roxie needs to stay somewhere, Megan will be our first call.”


16. Dylan & Alex B.

“Alex and Dylan are THE BEST!!! Brisket was well taken care of and I received updates and pictures everyday! I know that when I leave Brisket that I’m always leaving her in good hands.”


17. Paula H.

“We are first time clients of rover.com and were very blessed to find Paula for boarding our 2 boy kitties for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. Paula's care was top notch and her communications with us were extremely prompt. She made sure our boys were happy and adjusted, plus noticed any medical/vet issues and sent numerous updates and photos. We will definitely use Paula again and highly recommend her to others!”


18. Lisa C.

“Lisa was great with Charlie who can get a little anxious when I leave him in new surroundings. She kept me updated as he adjusted and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time!”


19. Jeffrey H.

“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”


20. Ross & Ava T.

“Alice came home from a long stay happy, relaxed, and waggy. Grateful to Ross and Ava for their thoughtful care, communication, flexibility, and laid back orientation. We (and by we, I do mean Alice…) will be back!”
