“We were traveling through Jacksonville and had a business dinner on the way. We needed a dog sitter on short notice and Katya stepped in to assist. We left the dog with her her for about 2.5 hours, received numerous pictures and updates. Great communication and affection for our dog. When we picked her up we were told they walked her for an hour since she was in the car all dayu. Great sitter, great communication! Thank you for helping us out!”
“Rachel and her daughter took extremely good care of my fur-baby. Unfortunately, during her stay, my puppy had a tummy bug. I could not have asked for more compassionate or kinder carers than this family. She looked after my baby like it was her own. Forever grateful that she received the care that she did from such an amazing family.”
“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“What a great boarding experience! Our dog was treated like a family member and had a blast! Em had clear and constant communication throughout the entire stay and sent photos of our pup everyday! We will be booking with her again!”
“We had a great experience with them. She took good care of my dog over a week. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely recommend them. Thank you! 😊”
“Madison and Charlea did an amazing job watching our two pups. This was our first time using rover and they did not disappoint. I highly recommend them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Sherrie was wonderful with Winnie. We met her before our trip and felt completely comfortable with her caring for W while we were away. She sent pictures and videos and is an excellent communicator. We will definitely have Winnie stay with Sherrie again.”
“My babies loved their staycation! Christian kept me updated daily with multiple pictures and I could tell they were happy and well cared for. It had been 2 years since we took a vacation without them and were a little apprehensive, but after meeting with Christian I was sure it would work and it did. They really enjoyed playing with Khaleesi her dog. I can't wait now for next vacation.”
“She was awesome 😀😀 Kept me up to date with info and pics of them. She was great and would def use again and again. She also took them in with a late notice too, she was the best 😀”
“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”
“I can’t describe how great our and Buddy’s experience with Cindee was. It shows that she genuinely loves dogs and just wants to make your pup happy. Communication was great and Buddy loved her home. He had a huge back yard to run around and lounge in the sun. Buddy had some stomach issues during his stay and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable. More than that, she’s just a fun person that we enjoyed throughout the whole experience. We would love to bring Buddy back any time she would have him. Thanks, Cindee!”
“Our 2 adult pups were well cared for by Adriana while we were away. She kept us updated to their daily activities with both photos and videos. Our lab mix really enjoyed escaping the July heat with dips in the pool. We would definitely consider booking with Adriana again in the future!”
“It was my first time using this Rover app for my puppy and I have to say Blanca was amazing with my puppy Nori. Definitely will be calling her again . She was very loving towards her and my puppy seemed very happy.”
“Repeat customer of Emma’s always flexible and communicative. Always send great pictures of our boy and is always a pleasure to work with. Cooper loves being over there, could not speak more highly of a boarder. Emma makes the process so seamless and makes me feel as though I don’t need to worry when I go out of town. 10/10 recommend.”
“Receiving daily updates and photos made me feel so at ease and truly showed how well my sweet boy was being cared for. It meant so much to see him happy and comfortable. So grateful for the love and attention he received and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Caroline and her family clearly love and know dogs. They were so kind and understanding of my mostly blind and deaf senior dog. I am certain he was loved and pampered during his stay. Thank you!”

Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
Hannah was absolutely incredible caring for our dog, Rogan, for nearly four weeks. Rogan was treated like part of the family, and it was clear he felt right at home. She sent multiple pictures almost every day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and caring Hannah is—when it was raining and outdoor play was limited, she even went out and bought Rogan a toy to keep him entertained. That is above and beyond! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. We would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Another amazing stay with Sherrie and her family :) my baby loves staying with her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him! You can truly tell she loves animals and treats her guests like they are her own! 🥰🩷 if you are looking for the right sitter, book here!!!!
We can't say enough good things about Brent and David. This was the first time our two, 8 1/2 year old Boxers have been away from us for 8 days. We had left them a day or two with our daughter in the past and through that experience, we discovered they don't eat for a day or two over separation anxiety and basically mope. Not the case here! These pups didn't miss a beat! Healthy appetite every day, plenty of exercise with walks and outdoor playtime, sofa lounging, treats, love, pets, full - hands-on attention and just happy. Our guilt and worry disappeared pretty rapidly after seeing the daily photos and video we received. We could not have dreamed or asked for better care of our fur babies. We can now take trips without concern and will always use Brent and David! Our dogs were loved. Highly recommend, A+, Five Star #happyfurbabies #BrentandDavid #Rover
Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!
Sweet Ashley and her husband took great care of my 5 yr old Rat Terrier, Petey! They have a lovely home with a big grassy back yard not too far from us. And they have an 8 yo Daschund named Tank, who is very loveable and makes friends easily. They went on walks, played fetch, and he even slept in their bed! I don’t think Petey missed us one bit. He’s going back there next time we go out of town!
