“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Olive was very happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Tyler was very communicative and sent pictures each day during the stay. I will definitely reach out again!”
“Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!”
“Brianne and Travis love my dog Ella and she clearly loves them. Ran right up to their house as this was the second time they boarded her. I picked her up relaxed and happy. Great people! Will book again”
“Bridgid took excellent care of Jed! She took him on lots of adventures, which he loved. She was accommodating of his reactive behavior and knew just what to do to keep him calm and comfortable. Would definitely work with her again!”
“Andy did an amazing job watching our five month old puppy, and on last-minute notice as well! It was our first time leaving him overnight and we are so grateful to Andy for taking such wonderful care of him, he returned to us happy and tired from plentiful playtime and walks.”
“Sky took care of Jack while I was gone on a 6-day trip. I got lots of videos and she was very responsive! I’d definitely have her watch him for future trips. I love that she has two small dogs so he’s not lonely.”
“Laurie and Richard were amazing with my older little pup with anxiety. She loved her stay with them and they catered to her needs so well. The communication and updates were wonderful!”
“Maci loved spending time with Erin and her godson!! Erin treated Maci just like she would her own dog. Thank you, Erin! We hope to use your services in the future!”
“My dog loves staying with Corey and Nyla. She barely noticed when I left and was very relaxed when I returned, which has not always been the case with other pet sitters. I really appreciate the multiple updates and photos they provided each day. I will definitely be taking advantage of their services in the future.”
“Our dog, James, was in great hands with Evan! Very kind and communicative from first message through the visit. James had a great time and came home happy! Looking forward to booking again.”
“Amal is such a gem! She did a wonderful job making sure Rumi had a lot of fun and a lot of love while I was away. Rumi had no anxiety during her stay and was happy and comfortable in all her photos. I highly recommend Amal, you can rest assured your pup will be in the best hands!”
“Leila took great care of Penny for a full week. She was kind enough to meet with us prior to Penny’s stay so that Penny would have a sense of familiarity at drop off. She asked good questions and sent many updates while we were away. We appreciated her caring demeanor and would definitely book again!”
“Kelly did a great job taking care our dog! She was super easy to communicate with and flexible when our drop off times changed a bit. Our dog had a great time and came back happy! Would definely use Kelly again.”
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“LOVE Emma. Easy drop off and pick up. Got frequent photo and text updates. I loved that she worked on some mental stimulation and training as well. Will definitely use again!”
“Erika was wonderful - I highly recommend her with your furry members of the family. The little guys were happy and well cared for, one even looked like he was thinking about staying with her when we showed up!”
“I couldn’t have been more pleased with Isabelle’s responsiveness and wonderful care of my two pups! I will definitely use again and am so appreciative of finding someone that loves pups like I do!”
Dover Crystal dog parents share their Rover experiences
So grateful to have found Patrick and Joceline! We were so anxious finding a new “camp” or sitter for Mochi since she had been with her other sitter for almost 6 months. Communication and friendliness were on point and the photos they sent while she was with them were too cute. Total lap dog 🐕 during her visit. Highly recommend!!
Christine is the best; to say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement but I literally never worry when she’s with Christine. My husband pretends he doesn’t worry but he loves seeing the updates and videos of her having a blast and playing non-stop fetch with her friend/s! We are so deeply appreciative.
Spencer was an incredible sitter for our two Labrador pups—one is 12 years old and the other is not yet 2 and absolutely full of energy. He showed so much patience and care with both dogs, and it was clear he spent a lot of time playing with them and taking them on walks. The biggest sign of how much they loved him came when we arrived to pick them up: our 12-year-old actually ran off and hid in the bushes while we tried to load them into the car. She clearly wanted to stay with Spencer! That alone says everything. We highly recommend him and would happily trust him with our pups again.
Holly was such a lifesaver taking care of Pippin! I was new to Rover and this was the first time I ever left my sweet girl. Holly was extremely communicative, flexible when I had changed plans, and would text me updates periodically which warmed my heart. It's always a good sign when Pippin was sad to say bye to her when I picked her up. Would definitely recommend and book again!
We used Emma (and her fiancee Joe) for the second time and we will continue to keep bringing Stella to them again, and again, and again... for as long as they'll let us! They keep you updated with pictures daily and went above and beyond and took Stella on an adventure when nice weather made an appearance. Can't recommend the two of them enough!
