“the boys were much happier staying at sandy's rather than conventional boarding... the additional attention that she gives them was just what we needed to set our minds at ease and to keep them happy and content... we will be using sandy for future vacations”
“Vanessa was wonderfully communicative and considerate, and both of her pets seemed like absolute sweethearts too! I’m so grateful to have trusted her with my dog Dagger’s care, and would be relieved to do so again if I’m ever in the area in the future and need to!”
“Taylor and Liv were the best when it came to taking care of Atlas! They were very attentive, detail oriented, and made sure to update me daily on how Atlas was doing. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. I will absolutely be using them again in in the near future.”
“Paul and Arnell were the sweetest with my Bandit. Sent lots of pictures and are very responsive at communicating. Nice meet n greet and easy drop off/pickup. Bandit was definitely spoiled with these two!”
“We felt very fortunate that Patricia took care of our 2 dogs. I would recommend her to anyone. We felt that our animals were cared for, had great communication, and an overall great experience.”
“Kirsten is the perfect dog sitter - communicative/responsive, accommodating, and thoughtful. My senior dog, JoJo, loved her stay :) I’d recommend Kirsten to a friend! 10/10!”
“Lonnie was awesome and I’d recommend him to anybody looking to leave their pet with someone. Before we met, I wasn’t sure how I felt about letting our dog stay with somebody, just because we had just adopted him about a month ago and he was super energetic and could have potentially caused issues. Lonnie assured me he was up for it and I was right to put my trust in him. He communicated regularly and provided updates. Seamless experience, go with Lonnie if you need a dog sitter.”
“Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She boarded him in her home and took such loving, attentive care of him the entire time. She sent frequent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear how comfortable and happy our pup was with her. My boys especially loved seeing the updates and knowing he was in such great hands. Taylor truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would 100% use her again in the future.”
“My dog is definitely a little nervous Nelly, however, Heather handled him so well! I couldn’t be more happy with the service she provided! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Abby had the best time at Lajetta'a house! She cannot wait for her next visit! Thank you for all the pictures during her stay so we could see all the fun she was having!”
“Totally Recommend Christine & Steven! Couldn’t have been nicer. Sent pics of my dog putting us at ease while we were away. I think Hazel 🐕 had a good weekend. Was out of town & wanted to go on a weekend trip with family. This whole set up on Rover was perfect. Easy to use app.”
“Noemi was very proactive and communicative with me about Elroy over the days she was with her! We got lots of photos and felt like Elroy was well cared for 💖 Thank you Noemi!”
“This was our first time using somebody from Rover and we had a wonderful experience! It was quite obvious that our golden was very well cared for while we were away. The couple caring for our dog were attentive, very responsive when we would message to check in and provided us with pictures daily. We will definitely utilize their services again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Winston!”
“Brittany was a delight! She took wonderful care of our pup who was clearly in love with her by the time we picked him up. Very communicative and easy to work with. Can't wait to work with her again!”
“We had a great experience boarding our standard poodle with Dan! Great photo updates, and Dan went above and beyond to take Abe to play with his friends at the park at 7am.”
“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”
“Chava cared for our Madison as if she was her own! We got a daily update and again, it was evident that she cares about doggies. Bonus points that Madison got nightly cuddles and enjoyed playing with her pup.”
“Katherine did a great job watching Mason while I was on vacation. She kept me updated and sent pictures every day I was away. Would definitely reach out to you again!”

We had such an amazing experience boarding our dog with Jami! She is incredibly responsive and easy to work with, I have never felt more comfortable going on a trip out of town and leaving our pup behind. We got lots of great pictures of doggie adventures and snuggles, our dog Korra seemed to have a great time and was very well cared for. We look forward to boarding with Jami again!
I was super pleased with 5-night stay I booked for my Ruby girl with Dahlia. She was communicative and flexible, and frequently sent me pics in which Ruby looked very comfortable and well taken care of. I would absolutely turn to Dahlia again for my doggy care needs.
Sarah was great after booking I had to change the flight Sarah had to change her plans and was able to take jack, we had a great visit with my son and had to add an extra night which she was able to do, she took jack on lots of walks and sent lots of pictures. Her house and yard are beautiful. I would highly recommend Sarah to watch your pet. Thank you for taking such good care of Jack. We will be using her again in a few months
Kayla took such wonderful care of Luffy, so much so that Luffy was napping peacefully when we picked him up, and almost hesitated to leave! We received daily photos and videos, and he was walked and played with frequently. Would recommend and book again in the future!
Vanessa welcomed Rainbow into her home and made her part of the family while we were out of town for two weeks over the holidays. She kindly oriented us to her neighborhood and home before our trip to make sure it was a good fit. This reduced anxiety for both me and Rainbow when official drop off arrived. Vanessa was in touch with text, pics and videos every day to keep us connected. She and hee husband are both lovely, and we would definitely place our beloved dog in their care again in the future!
Chloe did such a wonderful job with Franklin! He’s a very anxious dog, and she was so patient and understanding with him. She really adjusted to his needs and made sure he felt comfortable, which means a lot to us. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands!!
Sophie and her husband took amazing care of my pup while I was out of town. I appreciated that they wrote down the commands that Bear knows so they could maintain that with him. They were also very kind and understanding when my flight was delayed. I would absolutely book with Sophie again! Thank you!
