1. Deborah T.

“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”


2. Erica & Christian S.


“I would leave 10 stars if I could. Initially I was nervous to leave my pups, 12 and 13 since they had never been boarded before. Our meet and greet with Erica totally set my mind at ease. They have an ideal set up to make sure the dogs are comfortable and safe. A huge fenced in backyard is available for plenty of exploration and exercise. Throughout the 5 day stay we received wonderful photos of the pups with comments that reassured us they were fine. They came home stress free. The communication is truly outstanding. I would have no hesitation to board with Erica and Christian again.”


3. Elisabeth C.

“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”


4. Kristina G.


“Kristina took great care of our dog. She updated us with pictures and videos several times everyday which made it easier being away from him. Will be using her for all our future needs!”


5. Brooke L.

“Brooke took real good care of my dog. She used to send photos everyday and update about the dog. I would definitely go vack to her for any future boarding of my dog.”


6. Baree H.

“Baree is amazing! She took great care of our puppy. She took him out for regular walks and sent updates with pictures. She treated him like one of her own dogs. I'll definitely be using her again!”


7. Lane B.

“We were so pleased with Lane watching Roscoe. Roscoe seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. Lane would send us photos which made us feel good. We recommend Lane wholeheartedly. Ray & Jean”


8. Michelle W.

“Absolutely without a doubt the best dog sitter ever! Michelle sent regular updates and pictures of Hershy. She is a loving person that openly loved our Hershy.”


9. Natalie T.

“Natalie was absolutely amazing with our boy! He has major separation anxiety and they made him feel apart of their family. I can’t say enough good things about her.”


10. Brianna M.

“Brianna was amazing. She kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos. Deuce had a great time and came home worn out. Definitely would recommend and rebook!”


11. Jenny G.

“Jenny is the absolute best dog sitter! My dog loved staying with her. Jenny kept us updated everyday and took amazing care of my dog. She is extremely easy to work with and catered to all the needs of my dog. I have already rebooked more stays for my dog with her! Seriously people do not look any further she is the one to take care of your doggie daycare or overnight stays. She is qualified and cares so much about dogs!!”


12. Jessica J.

“Jessica was super helpful and accommodating! Goldie had a blast, and she was also flexible with pickup and drop off. Definitely keeping her in the rolladex for next time!”


13. Javaughn W.

“I had a great experience with the sitter. She gave pretty good updates. My dog seemed very happy. My dog’s food scoop got chewed and she offered to replace it. A person of integrity is always a keeper in my book.”


14. Samantha & Tim H.

“Samantha and Tim are so great to work with! We are relieved that we have such a reliable place to send our dog. We know he’s in great hands. They love and take care of him like he’s their own!”


15. Jessica L.

“I would highly recommend the dog sitting services of Jessica and her boyfriend. They were both friendly to my husband and I as well to our Mabel. Several pictures were sent of Mabel about twice a day and each time, Jessica commented on how Mabel was faring and anything they did together that day. A week was the longest that we had separated from Mabel and I loved the regular updates. Definitely plan on using them again when the need arises!”


16. Lisa & Steve B.

“Lisa and Steve were awesome with our girl Maple! Maple is very shy and timid, and can growl at people and dogs she’s not familiar with. They were understanding of this and worked with her by keeping her in a lower stress environment until she was ready to open up. They also sent us a bunch of photos and kept us updated continuously, which helped put our minds at ease. We would 1000% book with them again!”

19. Alyssa T.

“I highly recommend Alyssa T. as a dog-sitter on Rover. She took in my cavachon Merry for a week over the Christmas holidays, and she and her family treated Merry like a princess! I received daily updates and photos which made me feel so at ease as I had never left Merry for so long before. I also received a short video of Merry and the family's dog playing, and I knew Merry was having a wonderful time!”
