“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Waffles had a great time! Michell was communicative and made me feel confident that Waffles was being well loved and cared for! We will definitely be contacting Michell for future stays ?”
“10/10… My Bella was made to feel at home. Yuiko sent me regular daily updates while I was away. I felt at ease and Bella felt at home. I will be reaching out for fire services again. Thank you Yuiko♥️”
“Jayanna went above, and beyond to accommodate me from my 1st last minute request at 5.a.m., to keeping my Kenny an extra few hrs because I had an accident that even called for an ambulance, and was still available to have him ready at 12:30 a.m. so we could get on the Hwy heading towards Texas. She was the Greatest. $40 tip along with the extra hours into a paid full day day was a drop in the bucket for someone a kind, sweet, and caring with animals, and clients as she's proben to be! 🥰”
“Derek always takes such amazing care of Kobe! We are so appreciative of Derek’s consistent communication, endless love of Kobe, and willingness to accommodate Kobe’s needs.”
“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
“David was fantastic and we even extended needed to extend our stay due to flight delays! He was super flexible. Our Coco had the best time! We definitely hope to use David again. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family. Thank you!”
“We are glad to have found Brooke in the area to care for our two dogs when we are away! Videos are helpful and our dogs seem to have a good time!!!”
“Jake was absolutely fantastic!! It was our first time ever using Rover and he made us feel very at ease dropping our dogs off. Would highly recommend Jake and will definitely be using him again!”
“He was above and beyond. My new rescue had to be left behind for the holidays and wasn’t super comfortable yet, so he had some behavioral issues and, I’m embarrassed to say, ruined some of George’s valued possessions. George was beyond kind and gracious/understanding. He sent pictures and videos of my dog playing with his and I could see that he was having a good time”
“Wonderful job taking care of my three dogs. They all looked comfy and cozy in the pictures I was sent. I would definitely board them with Lauryn & Hunter again.”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
“Kanade went above and beyond- Riley got so much fetch and cuddles in. She keeps you consistently updated with photos and summaries of the day.”
“Haley is awesome. I felt 100% confident in her taking care of our boys from the second she came over for our meet and greet. They dogs left happy and came home happy and healthy. She sends updates and I know they were in good hands. Will book again!”
“Mina was very good with everything no one else was available for my needs but she was very reliable and kept me updated I will definitely recommend her and visit again she gets 5stars from me”
“Alexis was incredible with Koda!! It was my first time using the boarding feature with Rover but after meeting Alexis I was completely assured that Koda would be in good hands. Alexis gave daily updates and pics and made sure Koda felt comfortable while away from home.”
Darby pet parents share their Rover experiences
Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
As always, Spencer and Nellie took amazing care of our dog Hazel. This stay was for 8 nights and we had complete peace of mind while we were traveling. It's clear how much care and thought both Spencer and Nellie put into everything that they do. Their daily updates were detailed, transparent, and always included fun photos. They even celebrated Hazel's gotcha day while we were gone. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the sitters we trust most with our girl!
I will def be using Tamikia again! I thought my dog was going to have anxiety from separation and not being used to other dogs but from the photos and videos that was sent to me Kaya was having a ball. She enjoyed her time and I liked that Tamikia kept be updated with everything. I highly recommend!
Patricia was very hands on with Gigi making her transition from home smooth. Patricia sent update multiple times a day during Gigi’s stay. She sent videos and picture to let me see how Gigi was doing. I felt safe leaving Gigi because Patricia took great care of Gigi like she was her own.
Zenith was amazing! My sitter canceled on me at the last minute and she agreed to take care of my dog for me the same morning that I had to leave. She took him to the dog park where he got to run around and have social time. She also provided me with multiple updates that included pictures. I would definitely rebook her and recommend her as a sitter!
Barbara was such an amazing host to our puppy Astra! She sent over plenty of pictures and a wonderful video of our pup playing with her dogs. Astra had a great time and came home absolutely exhausted which is a rare sight. Looking forward to booking with her again!
What an amazing dog sitter! It’s clear our puppy loved her time with Donte; shes been a little mopey since she’s been back home lol Donte would make sure to give us a peace of mind since it was our first time boarding our puppy girl; he made sure to send us pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. Very good communicator and we hope to have him as our dog sitter in the future! Highly recommend Donte!
Jennifer is the best dog sitter, we love bringing my dog Nico with her. I know he is going to be cared for when we drop him off and she provides excellent communication and picture updates. Nico is happy to see her always - she is a gem among dog sitters we are so greatful to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Stella, for a weekend stay. We received several updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Stella tends to have separation anxiety but immediately settled in with Rachel and came home calm, happy, healthy, and tired from all the playtime. We'll definitely book again!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with Louie! She was kind, sweet, patient, and took great care of him throughout his stay. She also allowed us to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Louie in her care. What stood out most was how compassionate and understanding she was when we received unfortunate news during our trip. She truly went above and beyond during a very difficult time, and we appreciated her kindness so much. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would gladly book with her again!
I felt very comfortable leaving Bella with Alexandra and her family. They were warm and welcoming to her, and I left their home feeling a sense of relief. When we returned to pick her up, she actually seemed a little sad about leaving them… Lol I highly recommend Alexandra for your boarding needs.
