“Our pups were so excited to return to Ashleigh, Bill, & Tucker's home for their 2nd visit. We received great photos of the pups playing & having fun throughout our time away. We are thankful for the great care Ashleigh & Bill provided!”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Looks like Leo really enjoyed his time there with Heavyn, and her pups. She was sweet to him and he clearly fell in love with here, also she is a very kind person to speak with. I will definitely keep coming back for boarding.”
“Natalie was awesome with our puppy. She kept me informed and sent pictures/videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Natalie!!”
“I needed a last minute care for Benny and Gregory was super responsive and attentive of any questions I may have had. I’m super thankful being that my baby is super scared of everything however when I picked him up he was so happy. He smelled good and was super soft. I 1000000% recommend him and I will definitely be reaching out again whenever Benny needs to stay anywhere!”
“Tami, is truly 1 of the Sweetest soul's I've ever met. She loves our dogs like her own, treasures their needs and keeps them Safe above all. I'm knew to all this Pet sitting stuff, and very very nervous about trusting Anyone, my 4mo old Rottweiler pup, has been watched before, but after finding Tami, I won't take my baby girl, any where else from now on. Thank you Tami for everything...”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
“Angel was among the best sitters I’ve ever had the pleasure of using! She sent me updates on Ryder and took such good care of him, even had tornado evacuation procedures in place for him! Thanks so much Angel, we can’t wait to see you again!”
“Amber did an amazing job taking care of Beans (9 month old lab) for an entire week. She was prompt with updates and photos upon my request. I’d highly recommend trusting her with your pet.”
“Amber is exceptional! This is the first time I used Rover to find a sitter for our dog Nada and the entire experience was easy and well worth it. Amber took fantastic care of Nada and kept me updated daily with pictures. She is well worth every penny and my girl was loved, walked, and played with the entire time we were gone. We will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you Amber!”
“Hatsuki’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”
“Carol and Jessica have proven to be one of the most considerate and kind dog sitters my husband and I have ever had. They offered to watch Dean late into the night because our return flight continued to be delayed. They’re also great about sending photos of our dog throughout the day to ensure our dog, Dean, is doing well. They respond quickly to any messages we send, and Dean loves staying at their place. Carol and Jessica are our forever-Dayton-dog sitters!”
“Nani loved her stay with Paige! Not only did she go right in and make herself at home, she enjoyed lots of rubs and cuddles the whole time! I can’t praise enough the great communication and flexibility when requesting additional time. Please know, your fur family will be well cared for in this home!”
“Abigail was amazing. She was able to make our anxious dog feel right at home. It was the first time we have left him and didn’t need to worry about him for one second. We will use Abigail for all of our future trips. She sent us pictures of them on walks and playing with other dogs. You could tell she really enjoyed having him while we were away.”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She is such a kind and friendly person and we are so grateful to have found her. I was really nervous about leaving our little pug with someone as we are from out of state and Kayla and her pups made our little girl feel right at home. Our little Karen absolutely loved staying there and for anyone looking for a great home away from home for their loved one we could not recommend Kayla enough.”
“Once again, Ezgi was absolutely Fantastic with my LaLa!!! This was my second time using her services, my fur baby love her so much that…she wined for her as I picked her up and pulled off. 😂😂😂 I liove it, it shows me that…Ezgi spoiled and loved on her, too, like me. Ezgi has us for life. ☺️”
“Mandy was amazing! Josie immediately felt comfortable and at home with her and the family. We were able to meet ahead of time to make sure everything was to run smoothly and I was thankful for that time. Having an animal reactive pet brings a lot of stress and anxiety when it comes to boarding and dog sitters, but Mandy erased all of my anxiety with her above and beyond care and communication. While out of town I had continuous message AND picture updates of my fur baby and I was so grateful. Cannot wait to book with this crew again! 💕”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
