“Heather was the best! She kept me updated with pictures and anything that would come up with Maya throughout the boarding time. She was very thorough with all information she would need for Maya to include medications, feeding schedule, pet insurance, routine vet locations and local 24/7 emergency vet services prior to me dropping Maya off. She truly loved and cared for Maya as if it was her own dog. 10/10 would book boarding with heather again. Plus, she has a good sized backyard for your pup to play in!”
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“We couldn't be happier with choosing Lena to watch our pup for his first overnight stay since we adopted him! We appreciated the cute photos and updates that she provided. Our rescue pup is pretty anxious, but she welcomed him into her home and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for taking great care of him :)”
“We were so pleased that we found Vadym for our Bella. Vadym and his family were very good with Bella and treated her like their own. They have a nice home with a good size backyard, and Vadym would play ball with Bella for break time. We got photos and videos from Vadym every day. I will definitely use Vadym again next time. Will also recommends his service to others too.”
“Audra and Mark G were wonderful to stay with. I got scratches around my ears and under my chin just how I like them and we went on outings that kept me from getting bored. My mom and dad got pictures of my adventures every day which I loved posing for.”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Out of the dozen dogsitters I've used on Rover, Greg is ranked #1 on my list. My dogs looked clean, healthy, and happy when I picked them up. I'll always use Greg if I'm ever in town again. Thanks Greg!”
“Kim was wonderful with our dog Sam. We felt confident and comfortable leaving him for a week away and she was great with communicating and sending pictures. We would definitely leave Sam with her again in the future.”
“We were originally a bit skeptical since we’ve only ever left our dog with people we know. But after meeting Maya, we felt completely at ease. She did an amazing job—sending daily photo updates and making sure our girl was clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Maya and family!”
“Caleb watched our pup for 3 days - he is well set up as a pet sitter, providing his own food bowls, poop bags, etc. so that you don’t have to worry about bringing your own.”
“We had the most amazing experience with Diana and her husband. They were so gracious to watch my pup last minute during the holidays and were so patient and loving towards her. I felt so comfortable leaving my loved one with them. My shy, “Covid pup” had great socializing-time with the other dogs and came home happier and even more well behaved thanks to the time spent with Diana.”
“Kaitlin watched our two terriers for 4 days. She has a great yard for the dogs and takes them to the beach as well. They seemed to have a great time and were very tired when they came home - a good sign they got lots of exercise. She sent lots of pictures and provided good communications. Plus she did pick up and drop off.”
“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“Greg and Kat were so wonderful with my dog Mando! It was my first time using Rover for my dog and I was a bit nervous but they kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures. He always looked well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Chong is really amazing. Tippy practically jumps out the car as soon as we get there. She makes sure she keeps you updated and feeling relieved that your fur baby is in good hands. She’s my number one go to for boarding.”
“Hyun was so amazing and sweet to Parker. Our flight got delayed and she had no issue watching Parker longer than expected. She kept us updated frequently and made sure Parker got lots of play time. Will definitely use Hyun again next time we are away.”
“We are so pleased with the care that Christina provided Kona and Griffin. We received daily pictures of our boys and cute notes saying what they were doing. When we picked the boys up 2 weeks later they were both happy and healthy. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone else and were nervous about it. We did our do-diligence and Christina hit all criteria that we considered important to us. We have no regrets and will definitely be using Christina again in the future. Thank you.”

Buffy absolutely loved hanging out with Lena! Lena was extremely accommodating to our last minute request and when I picked up Buffy she didn’t want to leave! Lena was also fantastic in sending pictures of while taking Buffy on a walk and updates as the time went! I would absolutely use Lena again and recommend for anyone who needed a sitter to use.
Colean took such amazing care of my corgi, Koda, for just over a week! I received multiple updates throughout each day, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Colean is incredibly kind and really understands how it feels as a dog parent to leave your fur baby with a sitter. I never once had to worry, and I truly enjoyed all the thoughtful updates and communication. It’s clear Colean genuinely cares about the dogs she watched and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
This is the second time our dog has stayed with Kim, and once again we had a wonderful experience. He always comes back happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. Kim is extremely attentive to details and truly cares about the pets she looks after. She sends daily photos and updates, which gives us so much peace of mind while we are away.
Angie was an answer for us. Our dog was able to go in and outside as she desired. Plenty of outside time. We loved Angie for a couple of reasons. She is very professional and you can tell she takes the job seriously yet loved our dog personally. We will be using her to watch our dog. Thanks Angie!
Diane did an amazing job with pepper, she walked her several times a day kept her very happy and gave her lots of love and attention. We knew pepper was in great hands as soon as the daily updates and photos started coming. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone who wants to be at ease when they’re on vacation. We will be using her and ideally her only in the future for our dog sitting needs.
Harvey was well taken care of by Karen & Steve while we were out of town! He seemed happy & healthy, and like his usual self when we went to pick him up-we were not sure was to expect as this was his first time being away from us. Very much appreciate that they only do one family of dogs at a time, and are home most of the day as we work from home and our dog isn’t used to long stints of being alone.
Valeria is such an outstanding dogsitter. I really feel like when she is watching our pups it’s like leaving them with a member of our family. She is so thoughtful and caring for our dogs and she is quick to let us know about anything related to their care. Our pups love Valeria and we do too!
Claudia is the absolute best!!! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my pup this weekend, and I would have been lost without her! I will never take my dog to be with anyone else. I know my Pookie is loved and cared for and Claudia is such a lovely human ❤️ thank you so much again, Claudia! We will see you soon! 💕
Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!
