“David and Shelly took wonderful care of Chester while we were out of town. This was our first time using rover and we are so happy we found them. They sent us pictures every day while we were gone which let us know Chester, our pup, was happy! They were also happy to do a meet and greet before we left which helped me and the dog too, feel more comfortable dropping off on vacation day. I would absolutely have Chester stay with them again!”

She sent us daily pictures and videos, applied medication for our boy, gave him daily massages, and even took him swimming with Emma!

We’re so grateful to Deanna and Emma!”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is the third time Benny has stayed with Ashley and Kyle. We feel so fortunate to have found them; they do a fantastic job caring for Benny while we are gone. We get pics and video updates along with recaps of the day. We highly recommend Ashley and Kyle to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.

Words cannot describe how well Whitney did with my two dogs! She was very responsive, gave all the information I needed because I am new to rover and leaving my dogs with people I don’t know. Well I will tell you this, I will use Whitney for as long as she is on this app. If you are in the Lincoln area and need a good and reliable and professional person to watch your animals I don’t know how you could go to anyone but her. Her pricing is very reasonable compared to others on this app. But don’t take my word for it message her so you can have a worry free trip as your animals will be safe with her!!

Tyler is someone who I can depend on when it comes to leaving my dog with someone while I’m gone. Not only did Tyler send me pictures and a video for updates, but also was willing to accommodate last second changes of plan. The fenced yard outside his home was very spacious and my furry companion loved her stay there. I highly recommend Tyler and he would be my first choice every time.

Ulanda did an amazing job with my dog, Enzo. She ensured to update me throughout my 6 day family vacation, and she provided great care. Enzo really enjoyed playing with her dog "Husker" and also loved her big yard. Ulanda is very understanding, flexible, professional and kind. I would recommend her to anyone, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.
