“Angel and kids were so wonderful with my dog Gabby. A big backyard for Gabby to play with and got along real well with their other pets. I would 100% definitely book again in the future!”


“I am very fortunate to have found Laura! Based on her "About" info and all the great reviews, I felt my dog would be well cared for. We had a great first meeting with Laura which solidified my decision to hire her. Drop off was easy because of our first meeting. She had excellent communication! She sent pictures, messages and responded promptly to any messages I initiated. When I picked up my dog, she(my dog)was happy to see me and my husband but not eager to leave. That’s a good sign to me that she felt safe and was happy there! I 100% recommend Laura and hope she's available next time I need her.”


“Patricia was amazing! She was very accommodating of our last minute request and schedule changes. She took my dog for plenty of walks and took very good care of him! She even brushed his hair before we picked him up. I would definitely use her again in a heartbeat!”



“Hailey was super great with Goose and it makes me feel so much better that she is always very reachable if needed during the stay. High recommend!”


“Ruth took our dog in after her should surgery because she needed a calm environment and she was wonderful! She handled the dogs medications, activity restrictions, and even her first heat cycle without complaint. She was excellent with communication and flexible. We could not have kept Luna calm at home with our kids around. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy booking and we were very thankful for Ruth!”


“Fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter. I was nervous to leave my fur baby and Jane did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated while I was away.”


“Dianna was awesome. She handled our new puppy with loving care for 1 week. She was constantly sending pictures and videos and had an awesome outdoor fenced in yard, I would highly recommend.”


“Very pleasant experience. You can tell Dana and Jason are dog lovers. Our dog had a good time and got on well with their dogs. We especially like that Dana works from home so someone is with dogs most all ofvthe time. Will definitely use again, in fact already booked another visit!”


“Fantastic stay for our pup! I received regular detailed updates and pictures. Everyone seemed to enjoy our Coco. Looks like we've found our regular sitter.”


“We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone. Kodi came home much more relaxed than she ever has after staying at the kennel. Thanks for taking care of our girl! We will definitely look to book again for future care.”


“Karen was easy to work with, helped me feel very comfortable leaving my pups long term and was really good to them. I was sent pictures daily and could see how comfortable they had gotten and how much fun they were having with other pups. I plan to use Karen as a sitter in the future.”


“Great guy (was able to fit me in at the last minute). Good space. In an area that’s easy to let dogs out and about. Also, he made my princess feel special and she made some friends too!”


“I booked with Anna on kind of short notice. She was very responsive and we were able to set up my dog Howie’s stay with her quickly. When dropping Howie off I could tell he was at a good home with a loving family. Anna sent updates every day and Howie seemed so happy with his stay. When I picked him up he almost didn’t want to leave. My experience boarding with Anna was amazing and I’d recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a nice place for their dog to stay. Thank you Anna! I’ll be sure to use you again for any future travel plans.”


“Amazing sitter!!! Lots of pictures throughout and genuinely made us feel like she was giving them tons of love our entire trip. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to book again!”


“Karen took great care of Rupp while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and kept in great contact. We will definitely use Karen again in the future.”

“Glad we met Johangely! Highly recommend. We were provided regular updates and photo's each day, including videos. It soon became clear our pet was in a safe and comfortable place. Regular walks, feeding, and playtime! Our minds were at ease knowing all was ok while we were away. Thank you!”


“Amanda and Mike are great! Ashli loves them both and has such a great time when she is there. I never worry when my girl is there because she is well taken care of!”


“Madison gave Bea good care while I was away and made her feel safe and comfortable. She was thoughtful with walks and puppy activities, even in the cold!”



“Amazing! This is our first time using rover to board Lincoln and I was blown away by the care he received. Tammi kept me updated with photos during his stay and it was evident he had a great time. She didn’t hesitate when we extended our trip to stay two additional nights and was understanding when our flight got delayed and we would have to wait until the following morning to pick up. I can’t say enough great things about Tammi and we will definitely use her again for boarding! Thank you for taking great care of Lincoln!”

Elsmere dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anna was so great with Poopy! He felt right at home and became best friends with her dog. She is very responsive and caring; I highly recommend!

Sent updates and dogs seemed happy in the large backyard!! Very responsive and kind! Would recommend!

Laura is the best - will definitely use her again! She kept us updated with pictures and videos while we were away. Our dog loves going there :)

Unfortunately, we were not able to leave our dogs with Danielle for the week through no fault of her own! She was kind and caring to the situation that had occurred. My dogs are very sweet but were marking their territory and couldn’t stay. I am confident that Danielle would be great for any other family searching for a place to leave their pups for a vacation! Thanks Danielle for making a very stressful situation the best that you could!

Tabitha has watched Winston 3 times now and each time is fantastic. I know she takes great care of my puppy while I’m away and sends updates and photos of him too. Will definitely be using her again in the future!

This was our first experience using Rover and I was really nervous. Rachelle did a great job at answering all my questions and quelling my nerves. She took excellent care of my fur babies, and communicated well. If we’re ever back in the Cincinnati area, I would definitely use her as a boarder for my dogs again.

I’m so grateful for the care and attention that Payton gave to my dog while I was away. Will definitely book with her again.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care my dog received while I was away for Easter. My sitter went above and beyond, especially when I had to unexpectedly extend my trip by a day — they were incredibly accommodating and understanding. Communication was smooth, and I had full peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Morgan was so conscientious and thoughtful about Libby’s care. We felt very fortunate to find her at the last minute in a location so convenient to us. We loved the daily updates.

Christeen was awesome! I could tell instantly from the initial meeting with Christeen they would feel right at home and would be treated great. She was very thorough with her care plan for them and kept us updated often throughout the week. She treated them as they were her own. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If you want to relax while your away and not stress about your pets care, go with Christeen!!!
