“I am so happy I found Emily on Rover! She provided updates, pictures, and answered all my questions. My dog has some unique needs and allergies, so I’m thankful Emily took such great care of him. It's very clear to me that she cares so much about her pets too. Thank you for being an amazing caregiver to Bear!”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“Karhrine was great with my Jeffe.. He had a great time and we look forward to booking with her and her family again..she even sent us pictures and videos that we absolutely loved since we missed him sooo much!!”
“Kristie is amazing! She is an absolute sweetheart and took such great care of our girl during our trip away. She is kind, understanding and offers all the flexibility and reassurance you may need when away from your fur baby. Fiona will definitely be back! Thank you Kristie!”
“Thank you again Donna for taking such great care of my fur babies yet again. We had a worry free 2 week vacation knowing that they were in your hands. Both my husband and I looked forward to the daily dose of pup antics with your updates and videos. Thank you. I will continue to highly recommend your service.”
“Sharon is wonderful!🌸 I can only trust her with my Cindy! Thanks to Sharon, I can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that my dog will be well taken care of. Cindy is no longer young and has serious health problems. Sharon always takes care of her with love.❤️”
“Melissa and her family took care of our fur baby like she was one of her own. Her home is doggie heaven with a fenced in yard, lots of treats, and cuddles on the couch. Melissa’s dogs got along great with ours and she sent us lots of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Ana did a wonderful job caring for my Marley. She sent me daily pictures of Marley and made it so much easier to go on vacation knowing that my girl was being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Ana if you’re looking for a caring pet sitter.”
“Cado's first stay with Marleny went very well. She reported early on that he was clingy and liked hanging out in the kitchen. Same as at home. And it was clear from her pictures that he soon began behaving like his gentle lazy self, being with her very friendly other dogs, playing in the large fenced-in yard, and doing not much at all. He will certainly be back.”
“Matthew and his wife went above and beyond! They sent a ton of photos and videos. They took my dog swim and on a trail walk and played for a ton of time outside. They even gave him a bath before pick up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Elaine was amazing! She kept me updated on Oreo’s care. She sent me photos. I felt happy to know that my dog was in great hands. Also, she had open availability. Which is great when you plan last minute trips. Highly recommend!!!”
“I was so nervous to leave our very high-energy dog with someone. She’s like our second child, so we needed someone who could love on her but also be firm and experienced enough to handle her breed. Sarah and her family took our pup in last minute and were so understanding and flexible, even when our travel plans were delayed twice. For the first time, I was able to truly enjoy my trip knowing our girl was in such good hands. When we picked her up, our dog was happy and relaxed, a huge relief, especially since she’s usually pretty anxious. My fiancé couldn’t stop raving about how kind Sarah and her husband were, and their dog training background was the icing on the cake. I’m so grateful to Sarah and her family and feel relieved knowing we have a reliable, experienced sitter for the future.”
“Stefanie is super nice, has the perfect set-up for dogs and great with communication. We received daily updates and photos. We would definitely recommend her services if you have dogs that need love & attention while you're away.”
“Wow… I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We felt so at peace with the frequent updates and photos of our dog Lupo. The communication was excellent- lupo was picked up today happier than when we left and fit right in with taco and Ragnar. Thank you both for treating Lupo like one of your own. I would highly recommend their care to all my family and friends.”
“Anacelia was wonderful! So accommodating and welcoming. Our pup can be a challenge because she is so anxious, but Anacelia made sure our sweet girl had everything she needed to feel comfortable and happy. Mellie came home happy, relaxed, and tired; who could ask for more? We’ve already booked her Christmas!”
“Kim is the BEST!!!! She thinks of every detail for our dog and cares for him as if he were part of her own family. She makes home made treats and sends home a goodie bag for each visit and writes adorable Facebook updates and sends pictures of his days adventures!! Truthfully it does not get any better than Kim...I can leave with peace of mind knowing my dog is cared for and loved just as much as if he were at our own home!! Thanks Kim again for all you do for our boy and our family!! We appreciate YOU so very much!!!”
“Rebecca and her husband were fantastic! I have a 7r old female Labrador retriever that is quite anxious and easily panicked. I had her shipped up to Pennsylvania from Texas when i had to move and i needed a place for her to stay while I was out of town. From the moment I booked with them, they were in constant contact and reassurance of her well-being. She stayed with them for about a weeks worth of boarding. I had constant updates through photos and videos multiple times daily. They were both so kind and live in a great neighborhood. They did everything they could to accommodate her to the best of their ability, even went as far as giving her chicken when she wouldn’t eat her food! These folks are a gem in the dog boarding community, and you would be lucky to book with them! They really love and care for animals and treat your pet as if it were their own! I will be using them again anytime I need a sitter for my dog Maddie!”
“Awesome sitter, would recommend her to watch any dog. Hopefully she would be willing to watch my Bray again. I had clear, consistent, and prompt responses and even photos. Crimean truly is an awesome sitter and animal lover.”

Durham dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, my first time having anyone outside my family watch my dog—and I have never spent money more wisely. Katerina and Seth cared for my hound puppy, Wayah, for 11 days, and while we were on vacation, she was too. She played with their girls, splashed in the creek, went on hikes, got loved on, read to, massaged, and played with daily. I received pictures every day, and I’m pretty sure she was sad to leave when I picked her up. These are some of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met, and I could not recommend them more highly. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them.
