1. Joseph & Alexandra C.
“Our Golden Retriever, Bailey, has always had a wonderful time with Alexandra! She is so happy to be dropped off and so happy (and exhausted from playing!) when she comes home. Alexandra is so accommodating and provides great photos and updates during each stay. Would highly recommend.”
2. Kira M.
“Josie was very happy despite the ridiculous weather. Hanging in their home, with other four legged friends, made her time away from us happy. Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and Kira and Steve were very understanding with our picking Josie up early.”
3. Wanda R.
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
4. Sarah & Luis D.
“Sarah and her family took wonderful care of our Maggie while we were away for the weekend! They treated Maggie like their own, even helped to calm her nerves during the rain storm. Sarah was communicative with frequent updates and pictures. I highly recommend Sarah and will use her again!”
5. Tomoe H.
“We had such a wonderful experience booking with Tomoe! Yoda was treated just like family and it’s safe to say he was right at home! Thank you for taking such great care of him and sharing such cute pictures and videos!”
6. Bo & Xiaosong C.
“I recently had my dog stay with Bo & Xiaosong for three days and two nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! They did an outstanding job taking care of my dog. She was happy, playful, and seemed to have a wonderful time during her stay. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I received video clips both day and night showing my dog eating, drinking, playing, and going for walks, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel connected to her while I was away. Bo & Xiaosong truly care about the animals they look after, and it’s evident in the way they interact with the dogs. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving environment for their pet!”
7. Alyson B.
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
8. Julie U.
“Julie kept our two dogs for a long weekend and was absolutely fabulous. We were nervous leaving our younger dog (who has some anxiety) in a new place with someone new for the first time but it couldn’t have gone better. Both dogs seemed totally happy and at ease when we picked them up. I genuinely think they didn’t want to come home! We will certainly be using Julie again.”
9. Kristyne C.
“Kristyne watched our 6-year-old Cavapoo for 7 nights and was so amazing with our pup! Our dog is a timid and sweet girl who always takes a couple of days to adjust to a new place. Kristyne kept us updated with photos and check ins, and asked questions when she had them. She took such good care of her with lots of snuggles, play time, and walks. We are so grateful and would definitely have our dog visit with Kristyne again!”
10. Karin H.
“I can’t say enough about Grady’s awesome stay with Karin and her husband. Grady felt right at home and I got lots of updates which made us feel even more comfortable leaving her. In the past I had only left her with our friend before this so I was very nervous. It was a very positive experience and she was well taken care of. I will definitely use Karin again.”
11. Anna W.
“Anna is absolutely our dream sitter for our very playful and energetic border collie, Atlas. She and her husband gave Atlas so much love and attention everyday. Anna voluntarily sent us many lovely photos and videos of our pup as well as detailed updates daily. They loved Atlas as if she was their own, and we could tell how happy Atlas was staying with them. We felt at ease every day knowing that Atlas was under the care of such a wonderful and caring couple. We believe Atlas was on her own vacation! Thank you again. Atlas cannot wait to see them again. 😄”
12. Sean R.
“It was Murphy’s second time ever staying away from home, and his first Rover experience so we were nervous about how he would do. Sean was so responsive through the entire process, kind, understanding and flexible with us. He shared updates so we were assured Murphy was doing well, and Murphy had a great time. He seemed comfortable going in, and almost like he was sad his vacation had ended at pickup. He was well exercised and ready for a nap after vacation, just like we were!”
13. Angelica C.
“Definitely will board with Angelica again! She is great! Almost every day I can get updates about Bella's activity and photos which make me feel absolutely reassured. Every picture shows Bella was loved and have a great time playing with their dog Kona. We are so grateful to have Angelica taking care of our fur baby. And highly recommend her to anyone!”
14. Cheryl G.
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
15. Michael M.
“So thankful we found Michael! Regular updates and photos kept our mind at ease while we were away. Our puppy loved it at Michael's home! We will be using him from now on!”
16. Lace G.
“Our first Rover experience was last weekend with Lace and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Auggie was a little nervous at drop off and she was so calm and patient with him. He warmed up quickly after I left, and she sent a photo to show him getting cozy with her pup, Tynan. Throughout the weekend, Lace was extremely responsive to any messages we sent and shared lots of photos and updates. When we were running late for pick-up due to traffic, Lace was so accommodating and brought Auggie to our house just before we arrived. If we could give her more than 5 stars, we would!”
17. Liliya R.
“Recommended. Sent pictures everyday for 2 weeks! Was available anytime for communication and prompt. Completely worry free. solid and reliable. I was worried our dog didn't want to leave because it was so good. Home and grounds are spot clean and clutter free. Ideal place and people. She is the one. You found her.”
18. Eric S.
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”
19. David M.
“Dave did a great job taking care of my two dogs. It was their first time boarding not at a kennel and unlike when they come home from the kennel they were happy and unstressed. You can tell that Dave has a real love of dogs!”
20. Sara P.
“Sara was simply awesome. She responded immediately and was very flexible in meeting with Bentley and I. Her home is open and welcoming and her children were super helpful with taking care of Bentley's needs. I highly recommend Sara and will seek out her services again and again.”
