“Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.”
“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“Nicole and David are so great! They took amazing care of our Saluki. You can really tell when people know and understand dogs, and we felt zero stress leaving our pup with them. They sent frequent pictures which was lovely as well!”
“An excellent experience. They provided great communication with updates and photos of the dog. I could tell immediately upon picking up my dog that she enjoyed her stay with them. I plan to use them again for future travels.”
“As a pet owner who is very attached to her dog, I can say that Reachel has been a wonderful sitter during Milo’s stay at her home. She truly cares about animals and their well being. I would trust her to care for our dog again without any second thought. She understands animals and their needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Lauren and Michael were amazing to work with. Very responsive and willing to help as I used rover for the first time. They sent lots of photos and updates and my pup really seemed to enjoy her time with them.”
“Robert was amazing with Nimbus. Nimbus is usually very shy and doesn't like to meet new people. But Robert made him feel comfortable. He also kept us informed and we received lots of photos. We will definitely book again with Robert.”
“Amanda was lovely! This was my first use of Rover for any service and it went great. My dog and Sage played a whole bunch, which he loved, but they were also able to chill together. Amanda was responsive, listened to my anxious-dog-mom-concerns, took great care of our 2 year old pittie, and sent lots of photos. Will absolutely book with her again!”
“Takenya was very communicative and sent lots of photos. She was patient with Rocket who seemed to have possibly picked up on cats being present or something else with transitioning to his stay and he seemed to eventually calm down and adjust to the environment.”
“Susan made Elmer feel at home. He is a timid guy but by the time I picked him up, he was his normal happy self! Thank you Susan for making him feel so comfortable. We hope to see you again soon!”
“My dog enjoyed her stay so much! They have a nice yard and have experience with many types of dogs! My pug was able to play with the other dogs and sleep in their bed and had a blast. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“Miriam was an outstanding dogsitter for our young puppy, Jack! My partner and I got married this past weekend in Duluth and felt like it was best to leave Jack behind. It was honestly really hard to leave him - he's never been with anyone but us for the past two months. Enter Miriam. She absolutely set me at ease with daily updates and photos of Jack. I could tell that Jack was living his best puppy life and was completely okay with us leaving him for the weekend. He's been home for the past 4 hours and he seems more well-behaved than when we left. So, I'm not sure what kind of magic Miriam wove, but I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is outstanding! We'll definitely rebook!”
“Teresa was fabulous. She sent us lots of updates and took great care of our dogs while we were away for the week. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe happy place to leave a dog.”
“Debbie and Mike are great! They are very responsive and made sure our puppy was well taken care of with lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. We would definitely book with them again!”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Amanda and her roommate were fantastic with my dog - lots of great updates and he came home very happy, tired and clearly loved. I think what set Amanda apart from other sitters I have had is she asked meaningful questions to help him settle in and adjust.”
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah is such an amazing dog sitter! She took excellent care of Molly, and sent frequent updates and pictures over the 4 days she was there. I could tell my girl was truly at home with her (and her couch 😆). Book Sarah if you’re looking for a caring and high quality sitter - I know I will again in the future. Thanks Sarah!!
Hula had a wonderful time with Alicia, Lexy & Maya!! This is our first experience using Rover and it was very easy & a positive experience! Alicia sent us multiple photos & updates for us while Hula was in her care. Hula was very happy & relaxed when we picked her up, so we know she had a fun time. We definitely plan on using Rover again!
Katie and Josh were absolutely fantastic dog sitters. They were great communicators, so friendly, and incredibly patient and kind with my anxious Pomeranian. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such caring, attentive hands. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again!
Gabbi was so great boarding our pup again, even during a frigid weekend! He's a sensitive guy who can't go on walks when it's super cold, and she he made sure he had fun, was comfortable, and got all the cozy snuggles he wanted. We got lots of updates and knew he was being treated like a little prince ;) Looking forward to booking again soon!
Angela watched our dogs on short notice after the family friend who regularly watches them cancelled two days in advance of our departure date. She is very dog-savvy. Right-away, she let them into the backyard to find and "mark" their spots. They got along well with her puppy, but because they are older, she also allowed them quiet time when there were no puppy antics underway. Our border collie got to spend lots of time outside, which he loves, but doesn't get much of because we do not have a fenced yard. Angela sent several pictures of our dogs every day, which was sweet and reassuring. Apart from 2 weeks with my daughter, our dogs who are both going on 13 have not spent time away from home since they were one year old. Our dog who is very insecure was very unhappy - but nothing that coming home and several meals of Kowalski's meatloaf could not fix.
I have a fussy, dramatic French bulldog that can't stay with just anyone. Katie took him into her home with zero issues and shared pictures of him cuddling with her on the couch and making himself at home. Katie does a wonderful job and has excellent communication too. I highly recommend her.
Reegan was wonderful for our pups. Our Labrador had gotten his paws pretty sore on the ice prior to us bringing him to her and she was very understanding and patient. She diligently put shoes on him for going out and rested him until his paws were healed up. Our other dog absolutely loved her dog Butch and both our pups looked relaxed and happy at pick up. She was also great about communicating every day. Highly recommend!
