“Chloe was truly amazing. She watched both of our dogs over the weekend and was beyond attentive. She really has a gift for connecting with animals. Both of my dogs were so comfortable with her. She is very responsive and sent lots of update pictures, which we loved. Definitely will be using her services again Thanks Chloe!”
“Jenny was amazing. She responded to our request very fast and messages back right away. We extended our stay and added on services after we already dropped him off and was super accommodating for us. Our pup loved playing with her dogs and she has a ton of space for them to run around. We definitely will be using her again.”
“Tiffany cared for my Beagle while I was out of town and did such an amazing job! She has a lovely clean place with a fenced in back yard perfect for pets. On top of that she took him for walks on the beach, sent pictures and administered insulin. So very pleased to have found her, would highly recommend.”
“Jen is a true dog lover! She is so warm and thoughtful. Lucy had such a great time staying at her home and playing with the other dogs there. Jen sent me videos and pictures while I was traveling and it made me feel so happy and secure that my sweet pup was in excellent hands. Thank you Jen!”
“Teresa was amazing! From our beginning communications pre-booking, throughout the stay, and pickup was nothing short of a stellar experience! Teresa is very accommodating to your/dogs personal needs. Teresa is very attentive during drop-off. Teresa sends you frequent pictures of your dogs during their stay which really goes a long way in helping you feel at ease while you are away. Teresa provides a very smooth pickup. Very gracious sitter, professional with tons of experience! Looking forward to my next worry-free booking with Teresa!”
“I can tell my dogs felt loved and comfortable at Brooke’s house. The house has a securely fenced-in yard. Brooke kept me updated and reassured me that my sensitive dog Jazzy was not feeling abandoned.”
“Zackie was very good with our dog. It was a blessing that we found her and to be so close. She always provided updates with photos and Chanel looked very happy. I love how she gets plenty of exercise with her too. Thank you and we will definitely see you again!”
“Jer was great! My dog was very content and comfortable with his stay which is saying alot since he had never been apart from us for any length of time before. I was very concerned as he has separation anxiety and can be quite needy at times. She handled him like a pro and sent us reg updates which eased my anxiety about leaving him. Hence I was able to fully enjoy my first real vaca in 8 yrs. Thank you so very much for making this possible. Highly recommend!!”
“Kari was an awesome sitter for Brew! She accepted our request at the very last minute (much appreciated) and her family showed him a ton of love while he was there. She’s a great communicator and very caring. Brew came home so tired from all of their adventures. Thank you!”
“This was Khloe's first time being boarded and what a great experience. Her first meeting with Candice went so well that when it came time for her to actually stay we were totally comfortable. Candice sent pics and kept in contact with us throughout Khloe's stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“This was our first time leaving Pablo with anyone outside of our home. He was well taken care of and seemed to enjoy himself. Emily is great with him and very responsive. She gives great updates and sends lots of pictures, which is very much so appreciated! Already rebooked.”
“We had an excellent experience! She was absolutely awesome and took great care of Jireh. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jireh looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Our dog stayed with Jen for four days, and he was coddled and so well cared for! We got frequent updates and pictures, and know he had a great time. We would have no hesitation to have our boy stay again!”

We had several plan changes leading up to Poe's stay due to weather. Tasha was completely flexible and super nice about it. She sent pics and updates during his stay and made us feel like he was being well cared for and possibly even a bit spoiled. 😉 We will absolutely be booking with Tasha in the future!
we had such a great experience with Krista, as she was our puppy's first sitter. she was great with communication, and sent photo updates! our puppy is still potty training, and she was extremely accommodating with that. she was very attentive to our puppy's needs and routine. and our puppy got along really well with her sweet dog! we couldn't be more grateful and will definitely book again!
Kahjae was absolutely phenomenal! He responded quickly to messages and even agreed to do a meet and greet with his pups and mine before we confirmed the booking. Kahjae was very kind and wanted the best for his furry guests. He kept us updated with how our dog was doing and kept us in the loop. Highly recommend him!
Abigail and her family were great! She was very accommodating and I was able to book with her last minute. I received pictures and videos of Kash while I was gone. Which put me at ease because this was my first time booking with rover. Thank you Abigail for making my first experience the best!!
It was such a blessing in finding Myra on Rover. I was so worried since I had never left my baby anyone before. She treated him like her family and sent several messages and pictures and video through out his week stay. Once I saw how happy he was, I no longer worried. She really put my mind at ease and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation without worry. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She's the best.
I can’t say enough good things about our experience! We needed last-minute boarding for our very high-energy Malinois so we could take a family vacation, and she came through within 24 hours’ notice. From the very start, the whole process was effortless — drop-off and pickup couldn’t have been easier. What gave me the most comfort was knowing our dog was in such capable hands. She sent frequent updates and plenty of pictures, which made it clear he was happy, cared for, and burning off all that energy. Having a Malinois can be tough since they’re not always the easiest breed to keep up with, but she handled him like a pro. I felt completely at ease while we were away, and that peace of mind is priceless. Truly an amazing experience — thank you again for taking such wonderful care of him! Highly recommend and I am simply praying she is available next summer for our family’s annual week at the beach 😂❤️
Stacey boarded our dog for 2 weeks. She sent multiple photos & videos every day. This kept us reassured that he was happy & well cared for. She has a dog also that our little guy just loved. It takes your vacation to a whole new level when you know your fur baby is safe & well cared for. Thank you so much Stacey!!
