1. Donna & Will M.

“This was our first time using Rover since moving to AL and we are delighted to have found Donna! She put us at ease by keeping us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear she treated our dog like a member of her family. We couldn’t be happier with the care Poppy received while staying with Donna.”


2. Shume M.


“My husband and I both travel for work. Sometimes it's difficult to plan ahead for a dog sitter. Shame was AMAZING with working with our schedules and crazy hours. She even allowed us to extend our dogs' stay in story notice with no hesitation. The dogs were well taken care of and she kept in touch with us the entire time to let us know how they were doing. We will ONLY try to book with Shume from now on!”


3. Benjamin B.

“Ben did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. He has a beautiful property with plenty of space and was great about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Both our dogs loved Ben. They kept running back to him to say bye when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ben again in the future and highly recommend him.”


4. Kelly & Brian W.

“Kelly took extremely good care of our two pugs. One is 5 and the other is not quite 2. She has a yard where they could run and play which I am sure they loved because we do not have a yard they can play off leash on (more like a tick farm). The boys came home very happy and have collapsed on our laps to recuperate for their next adventure. I will book Kelly & Brian again when the need arises.”


5. Kira K.


“Kira was great and we could tell she truly cares for the animals in her care. We felt comfortable leaving Kona in her hands. We got updates and photo everyday and pick-up and drop-off were easy and convenient. We will definitely re-book!”


6. Dalis S.


“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Kano. It was our first time leaving him with a stranger. From our first communication, I felt a sense of calm and professionalism and she didn’t disappoint. When we dropped him off I knew he was in good hands. We received daily updates with photos. He really had a great time. She also gave us some great insight on ways to help Kano’s growth and development (boundaries). He’s a puppy and has never been around anyone except my family. I highly recommend Dalia.”


7. Steven M.

“Steven has taken great care of our dogs on a few separate occasions now. He sends daily photos and updates which our family loves to see when we are away. We are thankful to have found him!”


8. Scott W.

“Scott was amazing with our Lola! He sent pictures and kept in touch, was very accommodating and easy to work with. Lola got a bath and was a spoiled rotten while we were away. We'll definitely use Scott again and highly recommend him for your fur baby.”


9. Colleen S.

“Would love to have her to oversee Titus anytime. She kept me informed at all times. He loved his company. Her family is very welcoming. I’m thankful that she was available to assist me at the spur of the moment. I’m really satisfied with overall service Rover provides for my pet Monster Titus. Rick”


10. Ali M.

“Her communication was amazing. She sent plenty of updates via message, picture, and video. Ali and her family treating my dog like theirs. I couldn’t have found a better person to leave my little Jax with. I can’t wait to rebook with her.”


11. Jennifer L.

“Jennifer obviously loves dogs. She took great care of our dog Max. She sent a daily update with pictures showing all of the care and attention Max was receiving. We appreciated her updates and have no doubt Max had a great time. We definitely will use Jennifer again.”


12. Faith & Tyler C.

“Faith & Tyler take care of our fur baby like she’s their own. She always has a great time, comes home worn out from playing, and I get updates of all the fun. We always feel confident leaving our pup in their capable hands.”


13. Natalie I.

“Natalie was awesome!! I've never left Terri with anyone but this time it was necessary and I'm grateful that Natalie was available. Her dog, Darco, was a bonus being Terri loves to make friends!”




14. Elizabeth B.

“Our large male Goldendoodle was well taken care of during our recent four day trip out of town. Elizabeth sent us photos of her Goldendoodle and Ollie playing together and we think a good friendship exists between them. Will definitely call Elizabeth again to watch Ollie for our next trip.”


15. Christine B.

“Christine and her family have been so transparent and sweet with their care of my animal. Between the messages and photos and kind banter in between, Christine had left a great impression on me for what a true animal lover and boarder looks like. Client forever!”


16. Juyne P.


“May had a great time and was well taken care of. Daily pictures and status updates put our mind at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation.”


17. Hope D.


“I found Hope last minute for a 2 week trip. She immediately sent me a message asking about my pups and letting me know that she keeps their schedules as much the same as possible. This edged out the other offer I received (the other person just accepted my request but never sent a follow up message). The dogs were at ease with her immediately. She sent me pictures of the dogs every day with updates. I was concerned if my pups would want to come home with me! They had a great time and Hope was aweosme! I will definitely use Hope again!”




18. Devin N.

“Our boys were well taken care of. We got pictures and updates and Devin really got to know their personalities. I would trust her again to watch our boys.”


19. Nikki S.

“Our dog is a little over a year old and up until now had not stayed with anyone other than immediate family. We were worried how he would do for an extended trip, but Nikki was great at communicating before and during our booking and stay. I also liked that I could go out and see the location before, and take doggo with me too. She’s a genuine animal lover and we will likely use her services again.”


20. Rebecca & Darian R.

“Rebecca and Darian treated Nacho like one of their own! He loved sleeping on the bed with them and playing with their three adorable pups. They sent us plenty of photos and updates while we were out of town, and we had total peace of mind about leaving our baby with them.”
