“Henry loved his stay with Keisha! She was all and more than I could of expected I am absolutely pleased with Keasha and highly recommend her We will surely call on her again ??”


“I’m so lucky to have found Leanne and her family! I never have to worry when my dogs are staying with them, they have a lot of experience handling multiple dogs who have their own quirks too!”


“My dog Mya had a wonderful weekend at Matthew’s! He was so accommodating and understanding of her anxieties, which is very appreciated! Communication was great, I loved getting pictures and updates of her all weekend! Would definitely recommend, and would book again!”


“Anely was very informative, professional in taking care of our Siberian Husky, Orka. She sent us videos, photos, every time she took our pet for a walk and more while he is resting. She let us know about all the details, how much food our pet had, how much he slept.. I took my dog for a walk before leaving him with Anely. As soon as I dropped him off, he sat next to Anely on the porch and starting gazing the street. That there told me that Orka trusted Anely from the first minute. Also I could easily tell Anely was enjoying our pet's stay the whole time. On top of the detailed info she provided during the stay, these two things were very important for me. I strongly recommend, and will not hesitate to contact her next time we need someone to take care of our dog. Thank you!!”


“Cyd came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. Daniel kept me informed about her every day, which was especially appreciated on this first stay. I plan to leave Cyd with Daniel again — no higher praise than that!”


“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”


“My dog, Buddy, stays with Cristina when I am visiting family in Pawtucket. Buddy is very comfortable with Cristina and likes playing with dogs in her care. He especially likes to cuddle with Cristina on her sofa.”



“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog daisy! She kept me updated with pictures and videos multiple times a day! Our flight home was cancelled and we ended up having a 5 hour delay to get back and she was very understanding and loving! Would definitely recommend her! Her 2 dogs were amazing with daisy also :)”



“Jessica is a true dog lover. There should be absolutely no worries with leaving your dog with her. Abu is precious as could be. Very detail oriented to make sure taken care of per your instructions with the utmost care. On top of making sure your dog cones first - toys, walks, food amd etc. No hesitations and will be booking again and considering Jessica my dogs go to sitter handsdown. It can be hard to find someone you trust like Jessica.”

“Mollanna did a great job watching our dog! She sent a lot of updates and pictures. We were thankful she was open to a last minute booking and she gave him a lot of love, food, and treats. The only initial concern was not a closed backyard but she has a long leash to allow them outside. We would definitely book again.”


“Joseph is great with my dog Crew. He always keeps in touch about how Crew is doing and sends pictures to keep me updated. Crew always comes back happy and healthy. I would recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”


“Cherylee and Steven went above and beyond for my dog Clover and I while I was away. Being a travel nurse and first time Rover user, I was super nervous about the whole process, but they were so welcoming and accommodating to all of my pups need. Cherylee even went as far as to rescue us when my car broke down on the way to our meet and greet! I have an older pup with a lot of dietary and medication needs. They had absolutely no problem keeping his schedule and made sure to send me pictures and videos daily. I will definitely be a repeat client and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality caretaker for their fur babies! 🐶💕”


“Chris and Whitney took wonderful care of our pup. Lots of updates and pictures. She is an anxious girl and was right at home with other dogs to play with. Look forward to booking with them in the future!”

“I wouldn’t want to leave my pup with anyone else - Briana is just that good! She is extremely attentive, and communicates thoroughly. I received photos of Koda every day, prompt responses to my questions, and feedback on her time there. My dog was displaying some signs of separation anxiety, and I was notified immediately, provided reassurance that she was being properly rotated with other dogs that fit her current needs, and would be just fine for the remainder of our trip. We will definitely be back!”


“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”


“I’m so glad and please to had Leslie to take care of my dog, she took good care of him like her own, sending updates with pictures, I’ll keep using her as my dog sitter because I trust her and I know my dog will be safe and good with her. Thank you Leslie”

Elmwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tammy and her daughter took excellent care of my lil dude Obi! He's an anxious little guy and Tammy did such a wonderful job making him feel safe and comfortable. Communication was incredible! I got regular updates and wonderful photos. Obi came home happy and seemed to have had such a wonderful time.

Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.

We are so happy to have found Rikki and Pip! Communication was great, and when our travel plans changed, they were flexible. Best of all, our Esteban was happy and well cared for. We will definitely get in touch with Rikki when we need to board Estie again. : )

Isabel and her husband were great sitters! They were super flexible and were able to accommodate our crazy vacation schedule with ease. I appreciated the thoughtful and detailed updates about my dog, Rhody. Rhody is very shy and Isabel did a great job of letting Rhody warm up to her and her family. She also enjoyed long walks with them! Overall Isabel was great and id use her again!

Jack was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with him and he took great care of her. He communicated well with us and gave us updates and videos of Bella every few hours. It was clear that she had bonded with him! We will definitely leave Bella with Jack again in the future. We highly recommend him.

Hailey was great! She was communicative and sent me daily pictures for Jack’s stay with her. She even accommodated an additional night sitting him cause our trip ran one day longer than expected which was amazing of her! In short, Hailey had a great vibe, Jack was so well taken care of, and if we go out of town again I will be crossing my fingers that she is available to watch him! 💜🐕🐾
