“Kylo really enjoyed his time and seemed to just fit right in at Stephanie&Matthews home. it was such an easy drop off and pick up:) also appreciated the update pictures on all the days we were gone.”
“He is the best 👌! Our dog loves him ❤️ he send us pictures and updates, we had a problem with out flight and he worked with us and kept our dog for an extra day! He got a back yard that all pups will love, we definetly will book him in the future✨️”
“This was our 6 month old puppy’s first time away from home. He was well cared for by Elizabeth and Nick. I love that he was able to hang out with them in their home as part of the family. They were very communicative (quick responses and also sent photos while on a walk, etc.). It’s a great location with room to roam. Highly recommend!”
“From the moment my doggo met Joaquin, she liked him… And frankly, he has great vibes! Knowing she was so comfortable made it so I didn’t worry about her one bit while I was out of town. 5/5 would recommend booking and we will definitely be back!”
“Catherine was great! She provided many photos throughout the day & was super responsive. That made this first-time Rover user very happy & comfortable!”
“Pixie had an amazing time with Starla and her kids during her first stay with Rover. Starla gave Pixie extra attention, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Her kids were incredibly sweet, showing Pixie lots of care and affection. It truly felt like Pixie had a wonderful time with them.. I am sure will use starla rover again and again..”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Bella! She showed her so much love and made her feel at home! She sent updates throughout the day, giving me peace of mind while away, and gave my senior baby her meds as directed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Emily is now our go-to for Bella and I’m so happy to have found someone we trust. Thanks again!”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“We found the perfect person to watch our Gracie. MARILBEL was accommodating, sweet, and a natural dog lover. Along with her dog, Molly, Maribel gave Gracie a wonderful few days. We had tried our vet's kennel and even the "luxury" pet kennels, but our dog is a "people" dog, and was definitely traumatized by those places, and it took days for her to get back to our normal dog. Putting my dog in a cage for days is NOT what we wanted. But Maribel was our answer. She loved on Gracie, played with her, texted us with pictures, and when we picked her up, she was not traumatized. She was her happy, normal dog self. We are grateful for Maribel and highly recommend her.”
“Ellie and Karson were so good to my girl! Ellie kept me updated with pictures and took her on walks. My baby was taken very good care of! I would definitely let Ellie and Karson keep Charlie again in the future!!”
“Angela and her family took awesome care of our guy! She sent a few update photos over the weekend with her adorable children and it made us feel so comfy and happy that they all had such a good time together!”
“Our pups are our world. We felt so assured leaving them in Lakita’s care. She did AMAZING with updates and even included videos! We were so happy to see how our dogs were doing every day because when we’re away, we miss them so much! They were well loved on in Lakita’s home. 10/10 recommend, will use again!”
“I can't thank Andrea enough for being so wonderful to my pups, Chet & Char. She text me pics, updates and responded when I reached out. I highly recommend her and so grateful to have found someone so fantastic with my fur babies!!!”

“Pat took my baby in an emergency situation. She worked with me and went out of her way to make sure that my baby was taken care of. She gave me good updates and communicated with me so I would not worry for this was a first time my baby had to stay with someone that she didn't know. She was wonderful, and I would definitely ask her to keep my baby again.”
“Bruce came home very tired and very loved. We received pictures and messages from Jared which was very appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Bruce will definitely be back!”
“Tyra is absolutely amazing. This is Stella’s second time boarding with Tyra and we received photos every single day. Each photo you could tell she was surrounded by love and happiness. Tyra is very communicative and gives you updates frequently. I really enjoy knowing that my pup is in good hands whenever we vacation it is a peace of mind. If you want your fur babies to have a great experience. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with her!”
