“Cola was well taken care of for her overnight stay with Auana! I received photo updates and they treated her like one of their own! Even going the extra mile to brush her and send her back so happy :)”

“Theresa is exceptional! We were a bit nervous to leave our boy, Otto, for the first time. Daily check ins from Theresa put us at ease. It was clear from the pictures that he was as comfy and happy as can be in Theresa’s home. We will definitely be reaching out to Theresa next time we have to leave our boy in good hands.”

“Jen was awesome with Max and Daizy! I’m always a little nervous leaving them, but she made me feel so much better with updates and how well she handled everything. My pups can be a little particular, and she did great with them. You can tell she really cares. Definitely would book her again!”


“This was my first time using Rover and it will not be my last. Felice, Ken, and Tyler treated my little girl like a princess. In each photo, she seemed to be having so much fun. Felice, Ken, and Tyler sent me numerous photos and included Riley in all of the family activities. When Ken realized Riley preferred to eat alone, he moved her feeding bowl to a more private area. The family was so attentive, and I will definitely book again.”

“My dog had so much fun while I was on vacation. It is like he was on a vacation of his own. They cared for my dog like he was their dog and even sent me updates. This was the longest I left my dog with someone and I was comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend Rodney and Marissa and will return in the future. Thank you again!”

“Jasmine was great! My dog is scared of strangers, but she got comfortable with Jasmine quickly. She sent pictures of my dog everyday and was very communicative. I will definitely be booking again :)”

“What a great family and home. Curtis and Lindsay are amazing people who took great care of our two crazy pups. The open communication throughout the booking process, welcoming home, and updates of photos and videos was beyond our expectations. We will definitely use Curtis and Lindsay in the future if they’ll have our two again.”

“Masha and her family took great care of our little pup. They quickly learned his routine and what he likes and doesn't like. I appreciated getting regular and photos and updates!”

“Such a great experience and my dog felt right at home! A couple days before the booking we had an opportunity to arrange a play date with Cal and Kelly’s two dogs to help Cooper acclimate to his new surroundings and interact with his new friends. Just seeing how well Cal worked with my dog and readily answered all of our questions made me realize my was dog was going to be in good hands. Each day we received pictures and videos of Cooper and it was apparent he was treated by Cal and Kelly like he was their own. Overall, it was a terrific experience and I cannot recommend them enough!”

“Our Nella stayed at Julijai for 6 days. I was sent pictures daily, and received a quick response via message. You can tell that Julijai and her family love dogs, make them feel welcome, and provide fantastic care. Thank you for helping me with our last-minute request.”

“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”

“Angie & family were wonderful hosts! Angie sent us photos and videos and messages throughout the stay and it was very clear that our puppy loved their big yard and hanging out with all the other dogs. He crashed hard as soon as we got home!! We would absolutely stay with Angie & family again.”

“Lingli did an amazing job. She provided pictures every day and I could tell my cat really got comfortable with her by the end of the stay. Will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.”

“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”

“Lauren was amazing with our pups - they got fantastic play time and lots of love and attention. Her house and the outdoor space is perfectly set up for active dogs, including our four month old puppy. We were completely at ease during our extended vacation knowing our dogs were in her care. Thank you, Lauren!”


“Melissa is wonderful. My dogs were so happy and it was obvious that they wanted for nothing. That had been walked and fed and cared for so beautifully. I will definitely go back the next time I need to be away from my fur babies! Thanks Melissa!”

Joleen was so good with my pups that when we showed up to pick them up they didn’t even want to leave! They obviously adored her and they stayed for about 5 days. She had so much land that I just know they loved. She was super sweet and sent us photos while we were away! Would rebook again for sure.
