“Damariz is amazing! A true dog lover. My dog had a fantastic stay with her. I felt my dog was safe the entire time and was able to take a vacation without any worries. Was able to get photo updates from her and Philipp was taken care of the entire time.”
“Highly recommend Heather! She made us feel at ease from beginning to end. Heather constantly sent us pictures and updates. She was super flexible and accommodating to our needs. Will continue to rebook with Heather as long as we can :) Thank you for taking care of Kaia!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our Oreo! From the very beginning, she was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. What truly set her apart was the daily updates—every day we received texts with photos and little notes about how Oreo was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Oreo looked so happy and well cared for in every picture! It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you again Katherine for everything!”
“Linda was the absolute best! A loving, gentle, and thoughtful person from beginning to end. She was very caring and attentive to my dog, and I could tell my dog mutually enjoyed spending time with Linda. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog; they’ll be in good hands. Thank you Linda!”
“Ami is the greatest sitter we have ever had on Rover . Not only did she book us at the last moment her care for Stella was more than I could ever imagined. I knew Ami was kind and caring when Stella and I first met her and I am very cautious about using just any sitter. Ami kept us updated with photos and brushed her fur while sitting. Stella actually came back looking better than before I took her to Ami! She is the best and will always be my choice of sitters.”
“Jinni took a very good care of Tigra. She is very responsive, and it was easy to onboard, communicate and followed feeding instructions. Looked like my cat loved being with Jinni a lot!”
“Great stay with Terra! She was very communicative and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. She was flexible when my flight was delayed as well. I hope Maya can stay with her again!!”
“Whitney was awesome and easy to work with from start to finish. She was very responsive and friendly, but most importantly took very good care of our dog. She regularly sent pictures and was flexible with our schedule. Absolutely would recommend!!!”
“Highly recommend booking with Todd and Bill. My Neville had a wonderful time and he was well taken care of. Plenty of toys to play with and plenty of room for him to run around and sun himself. I received pictures everyday and it was very comforting to know Neville was very well taken care of while I was away.”
“Rebecca was wonderful! She took great care of my senior dog Hercules. She followed all of Hercules care instructions including his diet and medications and sent me updates and pictures throughout Herc's stay with her. I would highly recommend Rebecca and hope I can board my dog with her again in the future. Thanks again for taking such great care of my dog.”
“this was my first time using Rover since we needed a dog sitter last minute. we’re so lucky to have found pilar. our 5yo mini schnauzer is a punk with new people but she gave him the space he needed until he warmed up. she was great with daily pics and updates for his 3 night stay. will definitely bring him back when we need a sitter!”
“Vanessa is the best! Our puppy, Ume was extremely well taken care of. She was so sweet to our dog, friendly and professional. We received so many update pictures so I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely recommend Vanessa!”
“Zachary handled my dog Simon perfectly (and if he can handle Simon, he can handle any dog!). He sent regular photo updates, kept him active every day, and Simon came home happy and tired. He followed all directions exactly — I’ll be using Zachary again for all my future trips!”
“Adrian and her family were absolutely amazing and the perfect place for our Bones & Dottie. Our pups were well-taken care of and loved. Adrian was attentive and provided daily photos and videos of the pups. Our doberman requires daily medication and Adrian was great in providing for him each day, both pups looked so happy in her care. I highly recommend booking with Adrian!”
“Scooby had an amazing time with Erika and her dog, Scrappy! They went on many adventures in the neighborhood and sunbathed in the yard. Scooby felt instantly comfortable with Erika and gave her kisses soon into her stay. Erika was very flexible with our schedule changes and we really appreciate it. I will use Erika in the future and would recommend her to friends!”
“We had an excellent experience with Eleanor and will definitely be using her for all our future dog sitter/boarding needs. Her and her entire family, including her dog Kalvin, are very friendly and kind. She has a large fenced property to give dogs a safe area to play and run around. We did a meet and greet prior to the boarding which put us and our dog at ease. Eleanor was communicative prior to our booking and throughout our dog’s entire stay with her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and her experience with caring and handling dogs was quite evident as our dog does not do well when away from her family and our home, yet our dog seemed so comfortable with Eleanor. Eleanor is very active and walked our dog multiple times during her short stay, which I know our dog enjoyed! My dog is definitely known for pulling on walks but Eleanor was able to keep her in control and at her side during walks! It was very clear to us that Eleanor showered our dog with love and attention as our dog was happy and at ease when we picked her up. It was a seamless transition when boarding our dog with Eleanor and this has not been our experience with other boarding situations. On a scale of 1 to 5, Eleanor definitely earned a 5 star rating! We are so happy to have found Eleanor who is a trustworthy, qualified pet sitter.”
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”

Darnall dog parents share their Rover experiences
I almost want to gate-keep recommending Aunty Pilar but that would be unfair to her. After several failed attempts to reserve other sitters (for different reasons), my first actual sitter was great. Pilar was terrific throughout the whole process and reassured me my puppy was doing great. I picked up a happy puppy.
Zachary handled my dog Simon perfectly (and if he can handle Simon, he can handle any dog!). He sent regular photo updates, kept him active every day, and Simon came home happy and tired. He followed all directions exactly — I’ll be using Zachary again for all my future trips!
Natalie and Rubén and their family were absolutely amazing! This was my first time boarding my dog, and they welcomed my dog on such short notice. Throughout the stay, they were great with communication and would send regular updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. Her whole family is incredibly sweet and truly treated my dog like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for the love and care they provided. I would absolutely trust them again in the future!
Christina was a great dog sitter for my Maltipoo, Frankie. Frankie can be pretty anxious sometimes but she took really good care of him. She was very accommodating and sent lots of pictures of him while we were gone. I would recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
I left my dog Jazzy with Celina for an extended stay and couldn't be happier. No complaints whatsoever, just praise. Jazzy returned better than when I left her. She was calm, happy and clean. I could tell she was well cared for. My experience was positive and I highly recommend Celina for your dog boarding.
First time using Rover and couldn't be happier with Stormy's care of our puppy! This was his first time away from us and when he came back it was clear he was getting plenty of fun but also plenty of structure! None of his training slipped and he fell right back into routine with us which shows me she doesn't just know how to watch someone's dog, she truly knows how's to take care of them! Definitely rebooking in the future!
