We would like to thank Dana so much for taking excellent care of our dog, Charlie. ♥️ We could not be happier with the care our dog received while we were out of town for the holidays. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent. We received frequent updates and tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She truly took our dog under her wing and treated him like her own, which meant the world to us. On top of that, when our flight was unexpectedly delayed an entire day, she was incredibly understanding and compassionate, and graciously kept him an extra night without hesitation. It’s clear that Dana genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the exceptional care she provided. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, loving, and communicative pet sitter. In fact, we will be using Dana exclusively in the future because of how deeply rooted our trust was built while we were away, and how truly special our dog Charlie bonded to his Auntie Dana. I can’t express my gratitude enough - thank you ♥️

This was one of the BEST Rover.com experiences I've had since using the service. Cheryl was prompt in responding to my urgent need for "same day" service. She was so accommodating to our" Jade" who is naturally nervous and is elderly w/a touch of arthritis. She communicated regularly w/updates an cute pics during Jade's stay and even calmed her down w/her favorite back rub when someone in the neighborhood decided to shoot fireworks that night. Kudos to you Cheryl!!

Anne and Crag took such good care of Soleil. They have a nice size fenced in yard which Soleil really enjoyed. I got updates and pictures and was not worried about my baby at all. We couldn’t be more thrilled to find such caring sitters. I highly recommend them. Thank you so very much Anne and Craig.

I cannot recommend Haley and her husband highly enough! I was in a real pinch and needed a sitter at the last minute, and Haley was incredibly accommodating and gracious enough to host my dog on such short notice. It was immediately clear that they are true animal lovers. They took such wonderful care of my pup, providing a safe, welcoming, and attentive environment. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. If you’re looking for sitters who are reliable, kind, and will treat your pet like their own, look no further. I will definitely be reaching out to them again! Thank you!

I’m so thankful to Stephanie for taking such excellent care of my fur baby. She treated him like he was her very own and was so thorough with his daily routine. He had the best time with trips to the park and greenway and plenty of belly rubs. Stephanie was so thoughtful by sending me pictures or videos daily. Your fur baby is in the best hands under Stephanie’s care.

Bozena and her family provided exceptional service. My dogs thoroughly enjoyed their stay. She cared for my three dogs for eleven days, exceeding my expectations in every way. I received daily updates with numerous photos from Bozena. The dogs went on walks, received special treats, and were treated with the utmost care and affection, just like her own pets. I highly recommend Bozena!

From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Vladymyra is truly exceptional. She took care of our two dogs for several days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped them off, she made them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. Our pups can be a little sensitive when we’re away, but with her, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she paid attention to every detail — their routines, their quirks, their comfort — and treated them as if they were her own. When we picked them up, they were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. That’s the greatest gift a dog parent can receive. We are so grateful for Vladymyra and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly outstanding dog sitter. She’s a gem.

This was my first time using Rover for an extended boarding stay, and Taffy's first time staying with someone who wasn't a friend or family member, so I was a little nervous at first. But Bo took such great care of Taffy and made the whole experience stress-free. She sent daily photos, and I could tell Taffy was having a wonderful time and felt comfortable in her care. Bo is also organized and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely book with her again.

This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!

5 stars isn’t enough - Madison is absolutely amazing! She watched our Jerry while we were on vacation and took such incredible care of him. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely so caring. Jerry is a very picky eater, and she went above and beyond to follow all of our little tricks and tips to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. I also really appreciated all the updates and sweet pictures she sent throughout his stay as it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she treats every dog like her own. Madison has become our go to sitter and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so reliable to watch our Jerry. I highly recommend her services!
