1. Sophia & Travis F.
“Sophia was great! My 2 dogs were well taken care of & she sent pictures of what the dogs were doing. I picked up my dogs & they were tired - that evening & the next morning, they didn’t move much. I would definitely recommend her to watch your critters while you are away.”
2. Kristi W.
“Kristi was the best dog sitter I could have asked for! I have had my rescue Yorkie for 10 years and have always been able to have my mom watch him, however, for our destination wedding, that was not possible and I was so nervous to put him in the hands of anyone else. Kristi went above and beyond to care for Max as if he was her own. I got thorough updates, photos, and even a video! I could see in his eyes in the photos that he was getting so much love and attention! He even had companions in London and their cat as well. We live 40 minutes away and I will drive there any day to put Max in Kristi's care next time I need a sitter. I would highly recommend her!”
3. Jenna C.
“Jenna and her family have been amazing with our dog! She was really patient and flexible with the whole process. She was very responsive to messages and sent us updates in the morning and at night. Our dog had a blast!! We highly recommend her. Rarely you find someone that takes the highest care of a complete stranger’s dog.”
4. Shari Y.
“Shari is the best! We have left our dog Max in her care multiple times and we're impressed with her communication with us and her attentiveness to him. We never worry because we know he's in great hands.”
5. Stacy S.
“Stacy was awesome. She communicated with us regularly and sent pictures. Pups were happy and seemed right at home when we picked them up. We will definitely use her services again!”
6. Nick & Stephanie B.
“We absolutely recommend Nick and Stephanie! They watched our 2 pups for a week and we were very comfortable leaving them in their care. They were very responsive to questions and sent pics and notes periodically to update us on how the week was going. The communication helped ease our mind and enjoy our time away!”
7. Thomas R.
“They were very nice and I feel like they took care of my baby well. They said she did fine there too. My dog gets a bit of anxiety when I leave her, but they said she did well and got along with other dogs who were there as well.”
8. Kay E.
“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
9. Karissa N.
“Karissa watched our two dogs (1puppy) and both returned, happy and healthy. They have a fenced in yard for the dogs to be outside and they have two beautiful great Danes themselves. Thank you again for watching my fur babies! 😀”
10. Trudy R.

11. Brenda & Alvin M.
“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.”

We really appreciate the outside play,the snuggles and the interactions with their dogs. Overall it was a very nice experience and we could not have been happier (and our pups!)”
14. Christina R.
“I had a last minute cancellation and Christina was so quick to respond and very accommodating. She took very good care of my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates.

Dogs were happy when they came back home!”
