Our 15-month old Golden Retriever Cooper enjoyed an active weekend with Chrissy’s family, her their dog and a visiting Golden. Sounds like Cooper enjoyed playing with his big friends in Chrissy’s yard. Chrissy was super accommodating with an early drop off and a late pickup. She promptly replied to my texts and sent us pictures which we appreciated. Very happy with his stay and would return without hesitation.

We are so lucky to have found Shauna! Our Lab had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs in her huge fenced backyard. Shauna was very careful to get to know all the details about our girl and is focused on ensuring all her pups are safe, happy and well cared for. We had so much peace knowing Leia was in such great, trustworthy hands. She gave good updates with photos which also helped! It was clear when we picked up Leia, she loved it there and felt right at home. We also had a flight delay and Shauna was super flexible and understanding with us about the pickup- much appreciated! We could not have asked for more and recommend Shauna highly!

Kimberely was truly exceptional with my dog, Rooster. She treats every dog she watches as if they are a member of her own family, and it genuinely shows. From her daily updates, it was clear she took the time to understand Roo’s unique personality and little quirks — something that meant so much to me. Rooster can struggle with separation anxiety, and this was our first Rover experience where, when I arrived to pick her up, she happily greeted me and then immediately went back to playing instead of making a beeline for the car to go home. That alone speaks volumes about how safe, comfortable, and loved she felt in Kimberely's care. Her home is also clean, cozy, and perfectly set up for dogs, with a fenced-in backyard that gives them plenty of space to play and relax. I can’t recommend Kimberely highly enough. Knowing that I have such a wonderful, trustworthy sitter makes me genuinely look forward to my next trip — and I know Roo will too.

We could not be more pleased with Lauren and the care she provided for our pup this weekend! Her communication was excellent, sending daily pictures and correspondence to put our minds at ease that Mabel was in the best hands! She has a beautiful home and great outdoor fenced-in and covered areas for the pups to play. Mabel was happy and tired when we picked her up - win win! We would definitely send our pup to Lauren again as well as recommend her care to others! Thanks Lauren!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

Jessica was, once again, amazing and available on short notice!! Indy was clearly very comfortable and well-loved in her care. It was great to know he was in safe and familiar hands! Regular updates and easy coordination/flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Attentive to behavioral quirks. Without hesitation, I continue to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for stellar animal care!

Austin was fantastic from the start and really did a great job taking care of our dog. Our beagle stayed with Austin for 1 night and he was super attentive, listened, and made her feel at home. We were looking for a sitter that more matched our home environment to make her comfortable, versus a kennel. Austin came through on that and our beagle was super comfortable! Austin was very responsive in communications and sent updates during her stay, which we appreciated! Would book Austin again as he treated Roxy very well.

Tyler did an incredible job taking care of our cat, who has a rather challenging personality. He was incredibly caring, patient, and created a comfortable environment for our cat to thrive in. He kept us informed multiple times a day through messages and shared amazing photos and videos. We completely relied on him, and he exceeded our expectations. Now that we’re planning to leave the city again, we know exactly who to call to board our cat.

A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕

Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.

I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!

This was Mango’s first Rover sitter and as a (possibly overly so) doting dog mom I was a little anxious. Lexi was fantastic, providing daily updates and pictures that really helped put me at ease. Mango, on the other hand, clearly had a great time and enjoyed her vacation thoroughly. I would absolutely book with Lexi again!
