“My dog’s first boarding experience. Travis and Sophie made them feel comfortable. My big boy got to play lots of ball and run.! My old girl got lots of pets and love! Thank you for the good care!”
“Kristi watched Oscar (our Cavapoo) for 12 days in her home. The experience was amazing for Oscar and for us. She was so attentive to our needs by checking in on a regular basis. She would ask questions about his behavior to see if it was unusual and asked how we would handle it so that she was responding to Oscar in the same way we would. She wanted things to be as normal as possible for him. As she described his bedtime ritual I knew that Oscar felt safe and loved because he doesn’t snuggle up like that with just anyone. Oscar even gave her a snuggle good bye when we left. I will use Kristi for all of our short and long term care needs. I can’t say how important it is to know Oscar is cared for in such a loving manner when we can’t be there. Thank you so much Kristi!”
“Brenda and Alvin were the perfect fit our dog. We feel lucky to have found them on Rover. They are former dog owners and clearly enjoy them. The daily photo’s they sent and text updates left us at ease, able to enjoy our vacation without worry. We’ll definitely reach out again.”
“Alicia was great with our dog and loved getting updates and photos of him. He was happy when we picked him up and could tell our dog had a good experience with Alicia. We plan to use her again.”
“My dog Murphy was happy. Communication with Meghann was clear with the updates/questions/requests and she always responded quickly. Predictable and calm environment. I am happy to have someone now in the Otsego area available I can rely upon!”
“Andrea is a lover of animals. She loved my dogs as if they were her own, and I felt at peace, knowing that they were well taken care of while we were gone. She was so kind and such a good communicator. She sent me photos of my pups every day! I feel very lucky to have met this contact and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“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!”
“Amy was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. We received multiple pictures while we were away and did not worry at all that our dog was both being cared for but also having fun. As a bonus, our dog was exhausted from playing when he got home and slept the entire day after his stay.”
“Our family is so grateful for the care Cindy and her family gave Nala. Since we rarely leave Nala with sitters, we were initially nervous, but Cindy’s kindness put us at ease right away. After a successful meet-and-greet, Nala settled in perfectly with her dogs. Throughout the stay, Cindy was incredibly communicative, sending frequent photo updates regarding Nala’s eating and behavior. She was also very flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed. Nala came home happy, healthy, and content. We will definitely be booking with Cindy again!”
“Enrique took great care of my dog Georgia. He sent lots of updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell Georgia was happy and well cared for—highly recommend him!”
“Ramanda and her family are amazing with our dogs. Our dogs feel so much love and happiness when they stay there. They treat our dogs like family. Highly recommend.”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”
“Our two dogs had a wonderful time staying with Logan! Both my husband and I felt extremely comfortable having Logan watch our dogs. She was very kind, knowledgeable, and loves animals! She kept us 'up to date' on how our dogs were doing each day; it was apparent our dogs were very comfortable and happy with Logan! We highly recommend her and definitely will have our dogs stay with her again!”
“Meg did an amazing job watching Charlie, our shorkie who is 13 years old. We were worried Charlie would be nervous being away from us but he felt right at home with Meg. I will definitely book with Meg again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“You were amazing. You took care of my baby and kept me updated on your activities. You even agree to keep him for few more hrs due to our fight arriving late. I do appreciate you for going above and beyond for us.”

Elk River dog parents share their Rover experiences
We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!
