Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!

I’m soooo happy I found Kelly. We received daily updates and Kenzie loved all the friends she met. Our dog loves long walks and even though it rained the whole week, Kelly took every opportunity to walk her when it stopped raining. She also gave Kenzie a goodie bag and a Xmas present when we picked her up.

James and Jasmine are hands-down the best dog sitters we’ve ever used. They are incredibly professional and took the time to understand Toby’s specific routine and needs. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs and treated our Toby as their own. They were super reliable and kept us up to date with Toby's activities and sent us daily pix -- they truly went above and beyond to make sure Toby was comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking them again! Thanks again guys!

Tilly came home a very happy girl! She is so well taken care of at Diana and Michael’s. It feels great to have peace of mind while I’m out of town, knowing she’s in a safe, loving home where she also has a lot of fun playing! Diana sent great videos and updates during the stay! Would definitely continue having Tilly stay here.

I’m so happy that we found Tina to take care of Finley while we were traveling and wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again. She is an experienced dog owner and also loves dogs.

The family of Zicheng and Kennedy took care of Minnie so well. It was such a life saver during our long trip to know that Minnie was at good hand . We got photo updates showing all daily routine of walking , playing , sleeping. Medication also well administered as needed. Such a easy communication with them by Rover messages. I can tell Minnie was integrated as their family member.Kennedy was such a calm and lovely buddy. Minnie came back with us healthy and happy . Thanks again for your care. We definitely recommend their services.

Sandra boarded our puppy (about 11 weeks old) for 3 nights while we were traveling, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. At that age, puppies require extra precautions against parvovirus, and Sandra took every one of them seriously. She was incredibly responsive from the very first meet & greet, all my follow-up questions, thorough about learning Max's routines and genuinely thoughtful about making her home safe and comfortable for our pup. When I was away from my puppy, I got daily updates and questioned addressed very timely. We could tell our puppy had a wonderful time, and we'll absolutely be coming back!

Lauri was really great and took excellent care of our 8 month old puppy Benji! It was very easy to trust her with Benjis care! She made sure he had a lot of both physical and mental exercise throughout the day and shared regular updates. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgable about pups. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect and is very flexible to accommodate their needs and development. She gave us a lot of tips and tricks after spending the weekend with Benji! Highly recommend Lauri! We are excited to keep working with her!

Irina was absolutely the best! She was fun, thoughtful and caring. Every single day, she sent a bunch of photos as well as a description of our dog’s day — exploring different parks, playing at home, snoozing on the couch together. She was also mindful of his quirks (recent leg surgery, wariness around other dogs), and she adjusted her plan accordingly. My family and I were so relieved to know that our pet was receiving such wonderful attention!

As this was our first time leaving our newly rescued dog, we were rather nervous. We chose Ivan because he offered consistent monitoring, freedom to explore outside and inside, and doggie playmates of similar size. The stay was even better than we could have hoped for and we were grateful for the daily pictures and regular communication. Our Sally was very well loved while we were gone.

Our dog had the BEST time with Saul this weekend. (I’m surprised she even wanted to come home!) He took her on so many adventures and took such great care of her - and sent loads of pics / updates so we could see all the fun they were having! There was no doubt in my mind that she was in excellent hands, and I know she can’t wait to go back to visit sometime soon!

Micaela is great, and was wonderful with my shy dog. She did two meet and greets with him before his stay, and he adored her immediately. She was very communicative during his stay with her, sending pictures several times a day and quickly responding to my messages. I couldn't ask for a better first experience using Rover, and I would definitely book Micaela again for any future trips. Thank you, Micaela!

Mario was excellent! We took our 7 month old puppy (Benji) to him for 3 days of boarding. It was the first time we had to board Benji and I'm very happy we chose Mario! Mario is super knowledgeable and took great care of our pup. It was clear Benji got a lot of attention and exercise throughout the weekend! We received a lot of updates and excellent pictures. Looking forward to working with Mario in the future. We highly recommend him!
