“Ana was a great host for Ingrid. She played with Ana’s dog Lola and had a great time on her morning walks and car rides. The stay was amazing and we will love to keep Ingrid with Ana in the future as well.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with my dog during his one-day stay! From the moment I dropped him off, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she sent me updates and photos showing how happy and relaxed my pup was in her care. It was clear she gave him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and he came home content and tired from such a fun day. I really appreciated how communicative and professional Elizabeth was—she made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely trust her to care for my dog again in the future!”
“From the moment I left my dog, I felt completely comfortable my pet would be taken care of. Robert is friendly, knowledgable and communicated with me very well throughout my pets stay. I requested Robert's services in the middle of the night and he quickly responded at 7am, very accommodating and helpful. Robert's home is very dog friendly. My pet was given regular walks, access to dog park and I received pictures often. I would use Robert again and highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Brittany was amazing looking after Charlie for a night. She was in constant communication and gave us updates on how she was doing. Also added a lot of pictures for us to enjoy and see how she was 10/10 would have her dog sit again.”
“We had a last minute trip during a holiday weekend and reached out to Hunter who quickly agreed to take care of our 15 year old toy poodle. She was quick to respond and provided great communication during the entire care. Our dog also got along great with her dogs. Would use her again!”
“Paul was an excellent host/sitter for my 13 year old Jack Russell. He spent time with me and Benny upon drop off. I instantly sensed his expertise and comfort with her. I was at ease leaving her with him. Paul understood my concerns for my dog while in his care. I liked his confidence and handling Benny during this meet and greet on this first 24 hour stay. Paul sent a couple of texts and a pic of how things were going and I appreciated his matter of fact information sharing. I was totally pleased with this first experience of leaving Benny with an unfamiliar person and home. Couldn’t have gone better for all involved. Definitely will try for Paul for any future needs and I highly recommend Paul to others.”

His communication through pictures and texts was reassuring while we were away. Great experience overall!”

“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”

We enjoyed seeing photos every day of Zoe and Rachel hanging out, playing, out and about on walks and at the dog park. Zoe came home happy and we'd be happy to leave her with Rachel again!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
“Our dog Sherman had a great time with Tyler and Caroline! We recently moved to Boston and of course were nervous about finding the right care for our dog for a trip and all our nerves went away after meeting them. You can tell they absolutely love dogs and our dog had a blast! Will absolutely be rebooking”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Alex is a fantastic dog sitter! He really focused on my dog's needs and familiarized himself with what would make him comfortable and happy. My dog has some reactivity and he managed it by learning his "tells" and following the "cheat sheet" he asked for. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their dog(s).
