“Boarding our dog Honey with Emily and family was a very positive experience. We started out with a meet and greet, where Emily asked lots of questions about Honey and her routine. During Honey's stay, Emily sent updates and photos each day letting me know what Honey was up to and how she was doing. It was apparent throughout that Emily is an excellent and responsive caregiver, and that Honey thoroughly enjoyed her stay! We're looking forward to booking with Emily again.”


“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”


“I was hesitant to leave my beagle with someone else while I went on a trip, but as soon as I met Emily and saw her home and yard, I knew it would be OK. It was more than OK! I never worried about Nelly and she clearly had a good time there.”


“We are so grateful for the amazing care that Heather gave to our 1 year old golden (Cobain) over Easter break!! He really enjoyed his stay with her, the walks to the pond and the creek, playing with her daughter and their farm dog, Charles! We loved getting lots of updates and pictures ❤️ We will definitely be booking with Heather again!”


“Justin was very friendly and answered all of our questions at a meet and greet where we got to meet his dogs and see the fenced in yard before we booked. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures and overall had a great first experience with Rover.”


“Bubba enjoyed his stay very much! Excellent care-followed our feeding, playing ball routine and checked with us, sending pics and updates daily during our 10 day vacation, highly recommend-we will use this sitter again. Thank you,John, Marne, Eli and Bailey”


“If I could give more stars for Jesse, I would! She is absolutely perfect and took care of my Aretha with so much care and warmth. She even came over to assist me in getting Aretha situated because he was NOT a happy camper with going to a sitter while mom (me) was away. LOL This was my first time using Rover and I must say, choosing her was the best decision made! I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!!! A million stars!!!!”


“It is obvious that Erika loves animals and can cater to any dog's needs. She took on our rambunctious teenage puppy with ease, spoiling her with play and cuddles and updating us routinely with pics of their time together. I’m sure Wexler would love to hang out with auntie Erika again!”


“First time using this app and ever having anyone watch our dog overnight and couldn’t have been more satisfied. She took amazing care of our dog and always updated with pictures he definitely looked like a happy boy while we were gone would recommend to anyone and will definitely use again if ever needed thank you so much”


“Dan was awesome! We were coming in from out of town and he was super understanding and worked perfectly with our schedule. His yard was great for the dogs and he cared for them like they were his. Updated us with videos of them playing and having fun. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing boarding for their dogs.”


“Our dog Mia had the BEST time with Ruth while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures every day and spoiled her! She had puppy ice cream, walks every day, and came home so happy. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We will definitely return!”


“Brian was very flexible with my last minute booking! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Athena got along with the dog in residence, which went very well though Merlin ended up not being there during Athenas stay. Brian was very responsive when I checked on him and Athena everyday. And Athena was clearly well taken care of even with her 4 month old puppy energy! I highly recommend Brian as a Rover caretaker.”


“They really showed a lot of love to my 10lb cockapoo, I could tell when we left she really liked them. This was my first time ever using Rover and was extremely satisfied and will definitely be contacting Dorian again if I need someone to watch.”


“Evangelina has been wonderful with my puppy! I can tell it was important to her to truly care and tend to my pup’s needs! I also love that she sent pictures throughout. 10/10. Highly recommend!”


“Yvi and Christians hospitality was amazing. They were incredibly dependable and made sure my dog felt secure and cared for while I was gone. It was clear they truly enjoy their work, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again!"”


“Ellen was amazing! She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. Pearl was clearly happy and comfortable; she absolutely loved being on the farm, seeing the other animals, and making new friends. I’ll definitely be booking with Ellen again!”


“Samantha is a great sitter! I am worry free every time I leave Theo with her. She always keeps me informed of Theo’s welfare and provides me with plenty of pictures of his daily activities! I’ve never had a problem with receiving responses and she’s always reaching with questions if there’s something I may have forgotten to tell her about Theo’s care.”


“Luke came home completely exhausted, which is not like him- he’s usually constantly full of energy. He must have had a great time with Jerin and her dogs!! Thank you again so so much.”
