Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.

This was the first time we’ve boarded our dogs, and we were nervous. Jessica put us at ease by doing a couple of meet and greets to see if the dogs would be compatible. One at a public place, and one at her house. She treated our dogs as if they were her own. Jessica sent us photos and updates each day. They had a blast, and we will definitely use Jessica again the next time we need to board them.

Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Kevin is simply the best! We have known him for two years and he does a wonderful job every time. He is the type of person that all dogs love and can relax around. Kevin’s communication before, during, and after stays is awesome; I’m able to relax and know things are going well while we’re away. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone and everyone!

Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Carly took great care of my little Yorkie, Teddy while I was away on a work trip. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos, messages, and videos, which meant so much and gave me real peace of mind. Teddy came back happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention and affection. It’s never easy trusting someone with your dog, but Carly truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.
