This was our first time using Rover so we were a little worried about dropping our dog off with a stranger for a few days. But Erin was amazing! She was so accommodating with our unknown timing, she sent pictures and updates, and was sad to say goodbye! We'll definitely use her again in the future!

Ralph is absolutely amazing. The biggest thing for me is that Ralph never ever made me feel like a bother with any questions that I had from the moment I reached out to him to book till when he actually watched my Halle. He sent me pictures of my Halle while watching her and is just overall a great vibes kind of guy. Definitely love and plan to have him watch our baby girl again. Thanks Ralph for being awesome.

Susan was great! very communicative and flexible. We came from out of town for a wedding and just needed someone for the night and it worked out great. Calvin, my dog, is a very dog friendly dog and got along with her dog finn very well who seems mild tempered. Susan sent me pictures and reassured me that Calvin was enjoying himself. If we’re ever back in the area I will definitely be using Susan again.

Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!

Kimberly is very passionate about each animal that she encounters. She has experience handling reptiles, fish, cats, and dogs. Kimberly has open communication with everyone she encounters, is reliable, and hard working. She has helped care for my puppy who had canine parvovirus with round the clock care and has always had a soft spot for animals.

Brenna is wonderful! She is the only person we let watch our boston terrier for years. She has experience with dogs and cats, but she is very good at following instructions and could probably watch any animal she was asked with instructions. In all my years of seeing her with animals I have never heard her yell or intimidate. She's our #1!

About: I’ve always had an animal in the home until I moved out on my own, would love to have an animal to care for on occasion! i’m always up and moving with my baby so it will not be too hard to work dog walks and playing into our daily routine! We love to go on walks when it’s sunny or a little nice outside, bathing can be done if wanted, and lots of playing time!

Finn had the best time with Melissa and her family! It was his first time being boarded. I was worried he would have issues settling in. Boy was I wrong! Finn made himself right at home! Melissa kept me updated with pictures and messages everyday! I won’t leave him with anyone else now! So grateful I found Melissa and she was able to get Finn in. I was at ease knowing he was being well taken care of and most of all loved! Finn also looked and smelled great when I picked him up. I will absolutely be a repeat customer! Thank you SO much, Melissa! ♥️

Kathy did a great job with our little girl! She is a Covid dog, so she lacks some socialization skills lol. Kathy is very knowledgeable and willing to help. She set our minds at ease, and I knew our little Siena was very safe in her hands. I would highly recommend her!

Brittani always takes such great care of my dogs whenever I have to leave town. She’s very caring and loving towards my dogs, like they’re her own. I know I never have to worry when I leave my dogs with her. She’s very good at communicating if I have questions but also keeps me updated and sends pictures. She’s always my first choice dog sitter.

I was trying for 2 weeks to find a boarder for my dog Bandit, cause the hotel said we could bring dogs. So I scrambled and someone I knew said just go on Rover and you should be able to find one. I looked through all of them and met Jesse. I paid and booked. She was so nice before we even met at drop off. Then when I got there with Bandit her and her kids met us and Bandit was a little worried but Jesse made sure to text me and send photos everyday of how much fun he was having! Made me so happy! When we got Bandit back we picked him up and he was so happy to see us and I think he was ready to tackle me from excitement. She again said how good he did and everything, and we'll I can't say enough about the love and care they gave my dog. You can definitely a return visit from us! Thank you again!

Hi, Ashley is wonderful. She stayed with our two dogs for 4 days. We have two Maltese mixes; she sent us numerous daily updates and video. The dogs were happy and content. I have know Ashley for a few years and would trust her with my two and four legged children, no second thoughts !
