“Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Kristy and family did an amazing job w our young pup. Highly recommend and would love to continue bringing him to you. Excellent updates and communication. Knows her stuff!”
“We needed someone to do a long daycare for our very active and high energy doggy Maya and found a great sitter with Mersel! Mersel was great to work with, responded quickly and we were very impressed with her place for both the backyard and all the spaces in the house for the dogs to play and rest. Mersel also kept us updated regularly and sent us lots of pictures and videos as the day progressed. We will definitely be booking with Mersel again in the future!”
“Another awesome day with Damon and his doggos. Uki always leaves so tired and happy. She’s still tired the next day and has really blossomed in her social skills.”
“Alexis and Jacob watched Baja for the first time and it was a total success! Baja is very sweet but can be a handful and so we were pretty picky about who could take the reins after her last sitter moved. Based on the friendliness, competence, reliability, and great communication we experienced with Alexis and Jacob, we’re thrilled to have a new loving and safe place for Baja to stay when we’re gone.”
“I needed day care services for the last 3 weeks. Susan & Ian were amazing! I requested dog pickup and drop off. I work 12 hrs a day and when I got home I came home to a tired and happy dog. It was like Christmas. I got pictures and video updates thought the day and report card at end of day. Kuka, my dog, loves their Rudy. They became buddies. I cant recommend them high enough!! Kuka went to doggie day care in the past and it always stressed her out. We tired 4 different places. She is super duper happy with Susan and family.”
“Overall, Roxanne continuously communicated with us, and shared lots of pictures of Ripley during her stay. She was extra careful with introduction to other dogs, and overall our little Ripley seemed happy when we picked her up.”
“Piggy had a great time with Marla and Keith. She got all her puppy energy out and came back ready for bed. They gave a great update at the end of the day about how it went and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. 10/10”
“Jill is talented with dogs. She is creative at finding ways to engage with the dogs and get their energy out. My pup is always obviously well cared for and happy after a day at Jill’s house.”

“Nellie visits Dottie’s house at least once a month for the fun of it. She’s excited to get there so she can play, play, play. Our 2 year old terrier is happy and tired whenever she’s picked up; Dottie throws the best parties! I know she is loved and cared for and provided for by her dog smile. We’re grateful for your help, and for sharing your loving home with us.”
“Anastasiya and her family have been caring for our energetic 10-month old aussiedoodle Tony each week for a couple of months now & I am so grateful that we found her! We are always greeted warmly, and he expresses excitement and interest for his visits. They have a wonderful home and outdoor space for him to explore and I am confident that he is being well taken care of and having lots of fun. Our brief check-ins tell me that they genuinely seem to enjoy his company, which makes me happy too! Anyone who is able to utilize her services will be fortunate and in very good hands:)”

Durham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristy and Darin are truly the best. Kristy always keeps us in the loop when Goose’s best dog friends will be at daycare so they can spend the day playing together, which we love. It’s honestly the highlight of Goose’s week getting to go to their home. They take such wonderful care of him and he’s always so comfortable and happy there. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them!
Jennifer, Eric and their 2 sweet kiddos are so great with our puppy Banks! They are very attentive to his needs and are great about getting his energy out! When I dropped him off for his second day with them he was sprinting to their front door! We are very very happy with the care they provide Banks and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Carol truly went above and beyond! I have a senior dog with separation anxiety and she truly did everything she could to be friends with him! We also had a car emergency and picked him up later than scheduled, but she was incredibly accommodating and understanding. Carol is kind and a true gem! 1000/10!
Enya helped us so much with in home care for our older dog who just had an amputation. She was very communicative, helped administer meds, and spent a lot of quality time with our pup! Enya is kind and cares deeply, we would love for her to watch our dogs again in the future.
Anastasiya is amazing! We had a last minute booking and she was so accommodating!! We loved the updates that she sent for our little buddy. Booking with Anastasiya was our first experience with a Rover sitter and she made the whole experience a breeze! Will definitely book with her again.
Abdallah was so kind and helpful. We needed a dog sitter last minute and he swooped in and saved the day! He was very communicative and intellectually engaged. He’s also just an awesome person in general. I’m glad our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ab!
Kayley and her family were very welcoming and nice. Unfortunately the trial stay ended short as our dog seemed to be a bit nervous around their toddler as she has had limited interaction with younger kids. I also think they might have their hands too full with a crying toddler and 5 other dogs boarding at the same time. It was a bit also difficult coordinating drop off and pickup times due to the toddler napping. But still appreciate the family’s flexibility and willingness to giving a try.
