“Alli and her family were absolutely perfect with Brady. We received constant updates and she was very attentive with Brady’s medicine schedule and his hip dysplasia. We will definitely use Alli again to watch Brady. He came home so tired!”
“Lizzie was great, my wife and I would definitely recommend her! Since moving to the area from Florida we have had a difficult time leaving our goldendoodle with just anyone especially since we were a little hesitant on using the Rover app. But Lizzie has made us feel so much more confident in it. Her constant updates and genuine care for our dog really showed. Making my wife and I not worry at all and allowing us to enjoy our time away. We can also tell that our pup really enjoyed her and Walter’s (Lizzie dog) company. We most definitely plan on using her services again.”

“Gabriela is the best! She comes highly recommended and we had already used her services for walks. So we jumped at the chance to send our pup to her for a multi-day boarding stay when we were headed out of town. She was amazing; sending us tons of updates, pics, and was very flexible on pickup/drop-off logistics. Most importantly she took such good care of our pup! We will absolutely use Gabriela again and so should you!”
“This was our first time using Rover with our pup that we rescued in September. Briana was great at communicating with is while we were gone, easing my worries and showing me the ropes about how Rover works. She took our pup on walks, sent us a lot of pictures and updates, and our dog had a great time!”
“My boy Shep had a great stay with Stella, he made two new best friends and thoroughly enjoyed his vacation. Stella is the absolute best providing updates and pics of Shep through out his visit and BONUS Stella washed Shep’s blankie, bed, and gave my guy a nice wipe down. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ it he’s made a great 2nd home with Stella!!!”
“Karen is great! She always sent me a bunch of photos daily. She is very flexible to allow me to pick up my dog a bit earlier than scheduled. Her pets are very friendly with my dog. I haven’t fixed my dog yet and she accepted to board my dogs even though she was in the tail-end of my dogs heat (I brought diapers and pads). She is very friendly and I’m glad to find a great animal lover to board my dog.”
“Our dog, Grizz, loved staying with Chyna and we could not have asked for a better experience! It was great to have an initial meet and greet with Chyna and she gave us updates throughout Grizz’s stay. Grizz loved playing with Chyna’s dog, Jefe, and her girls were also so sweet in taking care of him. Overall, we highly recommend Chyna for any dog sitting needs!”
“Beau absolutely adores his "Aunt Serah", and so does his mommy. I especially appreciate the care, grace, patience and kindness that she has shown Beau over the past year+_, even as he has become more high maintenance (limited mobility, special diet, diapers, etc.). She always has funny stories, great photos and videos, which assures me that Beau is in good hands. As a mom of an elderly dog, I can, without hesitation, recommend "Aunt Serah" to those who are committed to the dignity, comfort and care of their older pups. As always, I cannot thank Ms. Serah enough. Tina”
“Catie was fantastic! She was super communicative and provided me with updates. She met Lennox where he was and that was so helpful for him to warm up to a place. I could tell he was having a fantastic time! Oh and she helped in a pickle as I needed same day care, I really lucked out with such an amazing sitter. Thank you Catie!!”
“Diego was a great sitter and made my pup feel right at home. Knowing that my little Bruno was in safe hands really put my mind at ease. I also appreciated the many pic and video updates and would highly recommend him.”
“Janelle is fantastic! My dog truly enjoyed her stay and was well taken care of. Janelle sends updates and is open to getting to know my dog. I'll definitely book her again!”
“Drake and Cookie loved staying with Tom and his family. I am so appreciative of his communication regarding the pups, especially in light of a tough past Rover experience. Everyone was happy and healthy at pickup and Drake didn’t know who to give attention to most when leaving— always a good sign that he’s found a new bff. Thanks Tom!!”
“Jeremy and Ty were fantastic dog sitters for Coco. They were professional, communicated clearly, and kept us updated the entire time. Coco clearly enjoyed herself and was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. I would definitely trust them to watch her again!”
“Thank goodness for this service and for Kathleen. Our pup hates the overwhelming feeling of daycare and Kathleen’s home and especially her daughter were the perfect fit for Faina.”
