“We are thrilled with our experience with Laura and her family. They took amazing care of our little bundle of energy Griff. She provided a meet and greet before booking to ensure we were a good fit and sent updates and photos throughout our vacation! Our dog was happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend and book Laura again!”
“I was very happy with Shari! I had never left my dog with anyone, but Shari sent updates and photos often, and made me confident that Siri was well cared for. I'll definitely book with her again!”
“Ramanda and her family took such great care of Winnie while we were gone for the weekend. We got daily updates and pictures, and she looked so happy and well taken care of. Thanks for being her home for the weekend! 🥰”
“We had the most positive experience leaving our dog for a week in the care of Kay and her family. Their home provided Tilly with all the stimulation, exercise, attention and, above all, love that she could need. Plenty of updates, anecdotes and photos kept us worry-free, knowing she was in such a blessed place. We hope to bring Tilly to see Kay again, when the opportunity arises.”
“Always dependable. When I secure a spot for Murphy he gets more than just daycare....he gets authentic love and guidance and comes home calm and relaxed. I appreciate the dog socialization Murphy gets from many Rover homes but in this home he gets the individual human attention I can't always provide him as they don't take many pets at a time. I really appreciate these two dog lovers!”
“I would definitely use Jessica again. She was very good with our high energy dog. Got daily updates of pictures cant ask for anything more. Archie slept all day yesterday after he got home so I think he had a great time.”
“Angi was amazing!!! She did a great job taking care of Baxter while we were away. He has high anxiety and when he came home he didn’t act like he has been away from us at all. So nice to know he was fully comfortable while he was with Angi. Something that is hard to find for him.”
“Our dog had a one night stay at Trina's. She was very communicative and sent us pictures. He is an older dog, but enjoyed getting to play with some younger pups while he was there. He came home good and tired.”
“Thank you so much for taking g care of Loki! Super flexible to match our crazy schedule! He was well cared for and happy! So glad to have found another reliable rover near us!”
“Our lab loved her stay with Christina! She came home very tired and happy. Christina was very communicative and we loved getting pictures from her while we were gone! We'll definitely be using Christina again.”
“Amy did a lovely job taking care of my dog for 4 nights while I was out of town! This was my first experience using Rover and it was a great introduction. Amy was professional and easy to contact, and sent photos and updates daily. She has a great and professional setup and I knew my pup had lots of opportunities to socialize with the other dogs, sprint around, rest, lay in the sun, cuddle, and eat some treats. Amy was also very easily able to accommodate for my dog’s allergy to chicken and gave him some oral medication from our vet. Amy was a gem and we will definitely be back the next time I need a sitter :)”
“April was amazing! It was my dog’s first time at a dog sitter’s, and she was very patient and loving with him. Lots of great photos! I would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Yuliya is amazing!!! Not only that she took a good care of my baby Ace, she also kept me posted on the fun moments of Ace and his friends! The pictures made my day!!”
