1. Kristy T.

“Kristy was the best. She was my first my rover experience and I will definitely use her again. She sends so many pictures and always keep you informed. It soothed my mind knowing my nervous baby was in good hands.”


2. Erin C.

“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”


3. Avonlea K.

“Avonlea took the best care of our dog while we were on our week-long honeymoon. She regularly updated us on how he was doing and sent the best photos of him playing, snuggling, and having a great time overall. Leaving your pet can be stressful, but I never once felt like I had to worry while he was in her care. This is your sign to book with her for your next trip!!”


4. Melissa H.

“Melissa was awesome! I know my two pups were well cared for and loved on while staying with her. She sent updates and sent us home with a kind note documenting their weekend. We will definitely trust our dogs with her again!”


5. Brittany B.

“Brittany did a great job with my two pups. Was accommodating with pickup and drop off. Kept up with their different feeding/medication schedules and they came back happy and healthy! Her dog Henri is great as well. Would definitely book with her again!”

7. Joseph B.

“Riley enjoyed her stay with Joe! (As I expected she would.) He was very attentive to her needs and needs. They liked to take walks and watch the same flicks on tv, while chilling on the couch with his hand scratching her head just how she likes it. I picked him because he is retired and could give her the 1:1 attention that she craves. He kept me updated and I felt very comfortable with leaving my little miss in his capable hands. She will be back for more stays in the future. Joe, Riley thanks you too!”


8. Kasey M.

“First time using this service and first time my 3 cats stay with a new human. I highly recommend Kasey, she made every step of the process easy. By the time I arrive to pick them up. She was waitinf outside with the kittens luggage 😅 and the cats already packed too😅 made it easy. The cats adjusted very easy so I know they were happy”

“If there's one thing I know about Ashton it's her love for dogs. She is active, responsible and attentive to dogs with a variety of needs. I highly recommend her services!”




10. Lauryn P.

“Our dog has become increasingly high maintenance in his senior years as he has become more and more senile. He is a nervous dog that whines when he is not right next me even though the rest of the family is still home. We were so worried that our dog was going to be in a constant state of panic which would be awful for him and a terrible situation to put Lauryn and her family into. Luckily, Lauryn's patience and understanding allowed our dog to feel far more comfortable than we could have hoped for. We are so grateful to Lauryn and her family.”


11. Emily W.

“Amazing as always! I don’t ever even consider using anyone else because Millie loves spending time with them and sometimes I’m convinced she doesn’t want to come home with me after visiting with them. Love love love using this family and trust them with Millie completely.”


12. Jenny A.

“Jenny was absolutely fantastic with our Koda. This was our very first time going away and leaving our puppy. We were super nervous, but from the start, Jenny made feel so comfortable. She watched her for a whole week, sending photos and videos throughout each day. It was nice that other dogs were boarded with Jenny at the same time so they could all play in her big backyard all day. Jenny was extremely responsive while we were away, always making sure we were in the know. Before we picked her up, Jenny washed her bed, harness, and gave Koda a nice clean bath. We will definitely be using Jenny again in the future and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!”


13. Jaimee & Taylor D.

“Jaimee and Taylor are amazing sitters-I've used them twice now. They always go above and beyond to take care of my pup! My Leia June is always worn out afterwards from having so much fun :)”


14. Penny E.

“Penny was absolutely amazing. She was constantly sending us pictures and videos of Thor. She took great care of our baby and was very aware of dietary restrictions.”


15. Lauren P.

“We have had Lauren watch our dog time and time again and we have had an outstanding experience every time around. Wish we could give more than 5 stars!”


16. Sandra G.

“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


17. Angela B.

“Angela was the best sitter I have ever used in Rover. She was very caring but prefessional. She slowly introduced my dog to her dog, Goldie by separating her at fist meet, because Angela considered that my dog is scared of some big dogs. She is very considering and ma”


18. Erica K.

“Everyone should have Erica watch their fur baby! She did an incredible job boarding our Husky while we were away for the weekend. Immediately our pup felt right at home at her place. She was so warm and welcoming. She communicated constantly and sent the cutest pictures throughout the weekend. I would recommend Erica for your next pet sitter.”


19. Caillynn P.

“Caillynn was an excellent sitter! She kept me up to date on how Banjo settled in and sent video fo him playing with the other dogs, which really set me and my wife at ease. Will definitely book with her again!”


20. Andrew C.
