“We left our Chocolab Penny with Emily for about 13 days and we were blown away by how inviting she was. We were apprehensive about Penny being surrounded by other dogs since we have not socialized her yet (she is not quite 2 years old). Penny had a great time, and as we settled back into our routine, we could tell that while she was ecstatic about having us home…she misses her new friends! Thank you Emily for taking care of Penny and we will be asking for your services again!”
“Carrie is a joy to work with! She always keeps us updated about drop off and pick up availability and shares regular pictures of our Buddy. Very thankful for Carrie!”
“Thank you so much for doing a great job with my dog! He’s just a puppy so he takes a lot of attention to get used to new environments, but Kendall was able to ensure I got that and I appreciate it!!”
“Amazing service! Very receptive of my pets needs. Lots of communication, videos, and pictures while I was gone and totally hassle free experience. Would without a doubt book again!”
“I couldn't have asked for better care for my sweet baby Myla! Kevin & Diana went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home, showering her with love and attention. They kept me updated with adorable photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Myla came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism—I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for trustworthy and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Really fantastic experience. Gwen and family were friendly and accommodating. Great location and amazing fenced in backyard. They took very good care of my pup. I could tell she had been well taken care of, but one thing I especially loved is that she crashed hard when we got home from her time with Gwen and fam. I know that means she got good exercise and activity. With my boxer pup, tired means she's been having fun! I will definitely use Gwen and family again.”
“Mikey's stay with Lynelle was excellent. He is older and needs that extra attention from an in home experience. Lynelle updated me with a photo to let me know everything was going well. I was only visiting the area from out of state but I would book future daycare and overnight stays with Lynelle if I lived in the area. Highly recommended.”
“Sherri and Lee were outstanding with our senior dog, Daniel. They were so welcoming and compassionate. They take very good care of you and your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and Lee. I was a first time user of Rover Sherri sent pictures and updates. It was the best experience for all of us! Thank you so much!! WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING! 🐶💜”
“Adrian was so great with Shamus, who is pretty quirky and likes lots of attention. She made sure she he got lots of playtime in the house when it was too rainy to go outside. Her two dogs got along well with Shamus, so it was good for him to have this social time! Adrian even sends your pup home with a report card so you know how they do on their staycation!”
“Mark was absolutely amazing with watching my Italian greyhound, Peach. Very accessible and loved the daily updates he provided. I could tell Peach really had a lot of fun and was well taken care of. Will definitely be working with him in the future and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for an exceptional, caring, and conscientious sitter.”
“Savannah had an awesome time and Rachel and her family were gracious to watch her over Christmas break. She was very happy to play with their dogs and came home very happy and tired from all the fun. Could not reccommend more!”
“She is amazing pet sitter! Her husband and two daughters, too! This is my first time using the Rover app, so I was concerned, but I was very lucky to find her! Thank you so much Okhyung!”
“Dan did an amazing job caring for our dogs! He meet with us quickly to make sure everyone didn’t see issues after meeting. He was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos, took them for a walk. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, it was more of a last minute idea. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Gabby is an awesome sitter! I can tell my pup had a great time with her. She sent pictures everyday, took him on walks, and genuinely treated my dog like he was her own. I’ll definitely be a repeat client!”
“I’ve never used Rover before, but I have to say Brigit was a blessing. She took care of Gibbs like he was her own and I knew he was in great hands being gone more than two weeks was a concern for me. I highly recommend Brigit!”
“This was our dogs' first stay with anyone new. They were both anxious & kept peeing & pooping in Surama's home because of it, even though she was taking them out very often. Surama was very patient with them & made their stay a good one regardless. We didn't anticipate this issue & felt terrible about her having to deal with cleaning so many messes. I appreciated that she was open & honest about what was happening, while assuring me it was fine & in no way causing us to feel worse about it. She also sent pictures of them playing with her family & other dogs, which my daughter especially appreciated. Surama was so kind & we will definitely use her in the future.😊👍”
“I always get so nervous and guilty leaving my dog behind when I am out of town but Odalys made it so easy. I got tons of pics and was very comfortable knowing my dog was in great hands. She is extremely professional and responsive. I definitely recommend.”
“Alyssa was awesome! She was super understanding even when we were a little late picking up our fur-baby. She was very communitive and sent pictures as this was the first time he was watched by anyone. She had a clean home and plenty of room for him to play. Very very happy with our experience I definitely recommend her! 10/10 will ask her to watch him again in the near future.”
