“As always Linda took excellent care of my Dolly. Both Linda and her husband are genuinely caring animal lovers and it shows in how much my g German Shepherd loves them! GSD's are very protective and close with their owners and it is a comfort knowing she is in good hands and content in their care. I love all the photos Linda sends me of Dolly's stay with her, especially the ones where she's giving them kisses! Thank you Linda for everything! You are the best!”
“This was my kodas second stay with stephani and I couldn’t be happier. I ended up needing to extend the stay and she was very helpful and flexible. She always keeps me updated with messages and pictures, which makes me feel really comfortable while I’m away. I trust her fully with my dog and will definitely book again.”
“Lenetta was Amazing! Major was pampered like he was on vacation and loved his stay! Lenetta treated Major like he was her own and communicated with us throughout his stay so we didn't have any anxiety and we got to see how much fun he was having! Major will definitely be back. Thank you so much!”
“We felt Toby was in good hands with Nola B. Nice fenced back yard! We think Toby made some good doggy friends during his stay! Toby came back to us happy and healthy!! We would recommend Nola if you have a small dog who gets along with other dogs and loves to romp and play outside!”
“Stefhany was great! I left my babies with her for a whole week while I was on vacation and every single day she sent me pictures and videos! I am so grateful for her and her kids who loved the doggies, and took great care of them. I am definitely rebooking with Stefhany again! Thank you so much! I was able to enjoy my trip and be at peace knowing that Toby and Roxy were in good hands.”
“Samantha is incredible. She kept us updated about our dog by sending us pictures and messages. She's very professional and kind. We highly recommend her.”
“Ozzie loved staying with Katie and her family. Katie sent lots of pictures and videos of Ozzie so we didn’t have to wonder how he was doing. Would recommend 100%!!!”
“Erica was great with my girls. She stopped by the house a few days before our scheduled pickup. I appreciated that. She took from her time to come and spend some time with my dogs to get to know them before bringing them into her home. She provided good communication with pictures of my girls well-being. I recommend Rover.com and if you’re in the central Florida area I recommend looking at Erica.”
“She was so great with Benson, accommodating us very last minute on emergency and taking such great care of him, keeping me updated, giving him lots of love and play time. I so appreciate her and it's a great environment with a big yard and playmates. He had a blast and I'm so happy!”
“Tina and Bill both amazingly exceeded my expectations at taking care of my mini Aussie and my two pugs! I had a last minute emergency right before new years, and they came to the rescue! My dogs had an amazing time running around their yard, playing with Tina and Bills adorable little Aussies! They were very communicative and would send lots of pictures! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Definitely will request their services next time I need a sitter!”
“Dawn has watched my 10 year old husky 10+ times! She is the best and cares for my dog like no one else always making sure I’m up to date on how the visit is going! I highly recommend her to watch your dog!”
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“Rhonda has a very safe fenced yard and two calm dogs. They are good boys that made my young dog right at home. It was the first time I left him anywhere. Rhonda filled me in with photos and stories of the boys. I will definitely be using her again and again.”
“Sarah was a great caregiver of my little 6lb dog, answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns. You could tell that she truly cared for the dogs under her watch and was invested in giving them a good experience. I will be using her again!”
“Beyond wonderful! She took our dog in last minute sure to an emergency, and he was immediately at peace with her! She cared for him like her own, we received pics and updates daily, we couldn't be more thrilled that we were able to leave our baby with her!”

Crystal River dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had to board our 3 month old puppy, and I was nervous about leaving such a needy little girl with someone. She was so cared for and attended to, and I am so appreciative that Stephanie took such great care with her! She isn’t fully crate trained yet, but they were patient and compassionate. I will absolutely book again when needed with Stephanie!
Rhonda did a Fantastic job with our dog Quilla. She sent pictures everyday of how much fun he was having staying with her. Also i want to thank her for watching him on such a short notice. I would highly recommend that if anybody needs a pet sitter to contact Rhonda
