“Wow, Timothy went ABOVE and BEYOND!!! We received so many photo updates everyday. (And he got CUTE photos of my non-photogenic dog somehow haha!) He took them for a walk everyday, gave them lots of outside play time, gave us multiple updates a day, helped us load up their stuff in the car upon pickup….just greatly exceeded our expectations. HIGHLY recommend!”
“When I picked Murray up from Ru's this morning I could immediately see that he was happy and comfortable. Ru's communication with me has been exceptional. Murray will going back soon. I highly recommend Ru to take care of your fur baby 😉”
“Chad and his kids (and Lucy, his doodle) took great care of our Poppy! He was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Poppy seemed very comfortable there and we will send her there again!”
“Good communicator, took great care of our Bo Bear. Her dogs are very friendly too!! Fenced backyard is so nice and she has lots of gates inside to accommodate door dashers (like mine). Would book again. A++. Thanks so much Linda!!”
“Katherine was great with our pup Sunny. She came home tired and worn out. I got pictures and updates regularly and she was quick to respond. Easy to communicate with about drop off and pick up! Would recommend!”
“Tatyana provides a loving environment for our dog, Jax. He seemed to want to stay with her rather than come home with me the other morning. I can’t thank her enough for providing her home for my incredibly hyper and anxious pup and still have wonderful things to say about him when I picked him up.”
“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“Samantha and her bf were great with Luanne! Upon meeting, they and Lu got along right away. Samantha was very kind to keep us updated on their activities and how Lu was doing. I highly recommend and will be booking with her in the future. Thank you Samantha!”
“This is the second time we’ve had our 2 pups stay with Jenn and she was AMAZING as always! Our pups were a little bit more work this stay and she was so patient, kind, and communicative throughout it all. I will always recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Pam did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She was understanding of Aubrey’s needs and kept me updated with lots of wonderful pictures and videos so I could rest assured my puppy was having a great time while I was away. Aubrey came home very tired out from so much fun time playing with the other dogs!”
“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”
“SO so grateful to have found both Jacob and his wife through Rover - I think I suffer from far worse separation anxiety being away from my dog than she does being away from me (?) however, after meeting these two and their own four rescue dogs during a pre-boarding meet and greet, I had absolutely no worries that she would be in great hands. They were both SO kind, communicative, and welcoming. Their genuine compassion and love for dogs was immediately obvious, as was the fact that they both possess thorough knowledge of canine care and behavior. Wrigley even immediately recognized the house when I dropped her off and was so excited for her stay - that and the consistent updates/photos/communication gave me SUCH peace of mind and I will absolutely be reaching out for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you both SO much!!”
“Best sitter ever, Cadbury absolutely loved her stay with Abby. And I got constant updates and pictures everyday. I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“110% recommend!! Lindsay and her family loved our puppy like he was part of their family! We got daily updates and pictures and it felt great to know that our puppy was safe and having a blast while we were away!! I will definitely book again with Lindsay anytime we need help with our puppy!!”
“Molly was wonderful!! She was communicative (I loved the daily updates with photos) and did so much to keep our dog busy and exercised. She came home extra tired and extra happy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Charles, Casity and family did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He felt comfortable from the moment he entered their home. Communication was great and they kept us updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay. We highly recommend them!”

East Grand Rapids dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michael and his family were amazing, communicative and engaging with our 2 mini Aussies. It seemed like they really enjoyed their time there! I really appreciate Michael’s attention to detail and kindness. We are totally using them again when we travel out of town! A+++
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
Molly was amazing! Our dog clearly had a great time staying with her, as we got pictures and updates of him snuggled up and out and about. Molly was also very easy to get a hold of the whole time and super understanding about our greatly delayed flight. Hopefully our pup will be visiting her again!
Katy was absolutely great to work with and did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Chester. It was clear that he really felt comfortable there, was well taken care of, and enjoyed being with Katy. I really liked getting a brief daily update, with a picture, and also appreciated her communication about how he was doing. Would highly recommend!
