“Sheet is so attentive to my dog. I receive frequent updates. I appreciate that I can trust her with such an important part of my life while I have to leave town. Thank you Sherry!”
“Maria took good care of our Denver so well. She kept us updated with pics and little notes. It’s our first time using Rover and we’re happy to have Maria as our first sitter. Thank you!”
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog (Amethyst) alone for almost a week during my kids' spring break. I knew I didn't want to leave her in a kennel where she would spend hours alone in a crate and I did not think she would do well being around a lot of dogs at once. I was incredibly lucky to find Mark through Rover. Mark and his wife were very friendly during our initial meet and greet with Amethyst and their two well-behaved dogs. I could tell that they love their pets and I was comfortable with them from the start. I scheduled a couple of doggy daycare days to help Amethyst acclimate and during those times, Mark was patient and responsive with communications. By the time our trip came, I was very comfortable leaving Amethyst with Mark and his family. The communication was great and he sent a few pictures of her enjoying her time with them. I came home to a happy and healthy dog who had clearly been well-cared for. I highly recommend Mark and his family to anyone looking for pet-sitting services, and I would leave Amethyst with them again without hesitation.”
“Mr Bruce is the best, my big fur baby always seems to have a wonderful time there. He comes back so relaxed and well taken care of. Mr Bruce provides great updates every step if the day along with photos. He communicate very well with me and I feel at ease knowing what is going on with my dog! Don't hesitate to book with him, He is the best!”
“Grizzly had a great time with Emma and Marco!! Their home and fenced yard were well set up for doggies. From meet and greet to picking him up after our trip we felt very much at ease that Grizzly will receive great care. We received daily updates and appreciated the great communication. Highly recommend and would love to use them again.”
“Wonderful experience boarding our dog! Kristen allowed us to do a meet and greet with her cat before booking, to ensure that her home was a good fit. Despite being Christmas week, Kristen was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was great at communicating and took amazing care of Raya! ❤️”
“Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”
“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”
“Our dog Finn had another great stay with Mariana. This is the 2nd time he’s stayed with her and he really enjoys himself playing with her dogs. No problems with the booking process. Mariana is great at sending updates, pictures and video’s duriing the stay. Would highly recommend her and hope to book again in the future.”
“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”
“Araceli is an amazing pet sitter! Our little guy can be grumpy & challenging at times, but Araceli was so patient & caring with him! We are so thankful to have found someone who understands the quirks of small dogs!!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Accepted a last minute booking ? Sent photos and was very responsive when I asked how my dog was doing. Also has a cute dog so it's like your dog is having a sleepover at a best friends house”
“Ariel was amazing at taking care of my two big dogs. She knew what they needed and gave them opportunities for exercising and socializing. I feel confident leaving my fur babies with her! Thank you”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Great with our pup as always. Great updates/photos throughout the stay and always makes us feel at ease about dropping her off. Excellent communication and care. Thanks again!”
“Stephanie is great! She sent us many photos of Peanut and is very gentle and patient with him. Her dogs are also really cute and make great companions.”
