“Tracy and her husband took really good care of Bocu! He was injured the week before and needed some extra care and they were really good with him :) Tracy was sending us pictures of Bocu and communicating with us at all times. It was great to see how Bocu was having a great time with them! This time it was a short weekend stay, but we will definitely repeat with them if we need to!”

“Meerim & Saumya were amazing, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They took care of our dog Bailey for 2 weeks and the entire experience was exceptional. It was clear they treated her like family. Meerim & Saumya were attentive, loving, and thoughtful in every aspect of her care. Bailey was comfortable in their home and we received plenty of photos and updates! When she was picked up, Bailey was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time, which says everything! I would happily trust them with Bailey again.”

“We can't say enough good things about Jasmine! She truly went above and beyond for Buddy. We loved receiving her daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from all the pictures that Buddy had a great time and was happy as could be while enjoying all his favorite activities. Thank you Jasmine for all your care!”

“Jessica was amazing at taking care of Ash! She took Ash everywhere on so many adventures :) I felt reassured that Ash was in good hands when she sent over cute photos of her on walks and hanging out on the couch.”

“My 2 dogs stayed with Jennifer for 10 days while we were traveling overseas. We were really happy to see them being cared for in her home. She regularly sent us their updates with the photos and messages with all their activities. They were treated like family in a very natural home setting. We will certainly have them stay with her in the future when we need the help. A great experience overall!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have had my own small dog for 12 wonderful years. I know how to keep little pups safe, happy, and loved. I work part time, so I’m home most days and have plenty of time for walks, play, supervision, and giving your pup lots of attention. I have a large house, a fenced yard and a small friendly dog who lives with us. I offer reliable, thoughtful pet care including feeding, walks, play, supervision, and affection, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I've cared for dogs with medical challenges and disabilities and my own dog, Harold, is paralyzed in his rear end. Your dogs will be a part of our family for the time they stay with me. I work mostly from home but may go to the office a few days a week for a few hours. I run in the morning, if your dog is athletic they will come with, or go out for a mellow walk in the morning. I live in a quiet neighborhood behind a park where the dogs can run and walk. I care for dogs in my home. The house has a fenced back yard and we can take trips to dog parks, if your dog is into that. I have two dogs (a lab and a chihuahua mix) so your dog will have dog buddies to play with.
“Joy was both skillful and easygoing when we left our dog Lila with her and her family. I got photos of Lila snuggling on the sofa, and Joy had a great outdoor space for her dogs and mine to play.”

“Fang took fantastic care of my excitable pup! She was super communicative and sent lots of photo updates that left me with no doubt that Brodie was getting the absolute best care tailored to her needs, including multiple walks a day, play time, and lots of cuddles. I'm sure Brodie's already looking forward to staying with Fang again!”

“Edward and Elisha are amazing hosts. They have a great space and backyard for the dogs to play. They were great at communicating and providing regular updates about my dog. I would highly recommend them for boarding your pets.”

“Michael, Tyler, Lauren and Leslie provide stellar care to our senior (16 years) Shiba Inu. The love and attention they showered on her warmed my heart. I also appreciated how patient they were with her as she moves slowly. This care team is awesome! Highly recommend them.”

“Shan, her husband and their friendly pup Song song are great hosts! We boarded our dog Chintoo with Shan and everything was smooth right from the beginning. Communication was perfect and she sent plenty of pictures/videos throughout the stay. Chintoo was well cared for and was in good company with happy and playful Song song, and got plenty of activity and playtime. It was a great experience boarding Chintoo with Shan, totally recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and other animals since I was a child. I was brought up loving animals and everyone in the family has pets. I brought home my first dog from my aunt’s house when I was 9, and he became my best friend and lived to 12 years old. I’m a proud auntie to my sister’s Shiba Inu and have helped raise her since she was a puppy. I hope to meet your best friend soon. I’m home all days of the week so your pet will never be without care and attention except when I step out for a brief errand. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe neighborhood with walkable streets. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and walks throughout the day.
“The family was easy to coordinate with - and shared pictures regularly. It was a plus that they have kids to play with our dog who needs that type of attention. It seems like she had a great time!”
“Ahmyah was amazing with Leni, was a great communicator, and was incredibly flexible accommodating our needs when we had to extend Leni's stay with her by an extra day at the last minute. We would absolutely use her as a dogsitter again!”


“Paula is absolutely Fantastic. Not only does she ensure you feel comfortable leaving your baby she does a incredible job keeping you informed with messages/text and pictures throughout the stay, so that you know and see she is really treating him like a member of the family. I can not thank her enough for taking such great care of my baby, also now I have some incredible pictures (honestly, we are talking professional level pics!!!) I must add that my little chip is a 8 month old crazy puppy who is always "go, go, go" and waking up this morning to a sweet boy who just wants to lay on my lap is by far the greatest gift! Paula you must teach me your secret! I can tell he already misses you and your pups, and can not wait to have another visit with you. Thank you!!!!! ”

“Very good. My dog is picky and can be difficult but she is happy with Kevin and Sarah. Definitely her favorite Rover hosts. They are also very responsive over text and send lots of cute pictures.”

“Michael is wonderful to work with - he's reliable, kind and easy to communicate with. He took great care of my sweet Aussie, Alastor, while I was on vacation for a week. The whole process was smooth and I could tell that Alastor was relaxed during his stay from the cute pictures of him having a nice time! Thanks again!”

Esther Clark Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is so caring and amazing! She sends pics and updates and she really works well with my dog who has bad anxiety. When my mom was in the hospital she was flexible in keeping Rudy for longer and was asking about my welfare. I could tell she really cares about my dog Rudy!

Yun and Lina are very kind and caring. Tobin can definitely be naughty, he loves food and will try to eat anything he can, but he was well loved and comfortable in their home. I was out of the country for two weeks and they gave me regular updates throughout. Tobin did accidentally eat chocolate but Yun and Lina were very responsible and communicative, they brought him to the emergency vet and I was able to speak to them and the vet for Tobin’s treatment. Tobin was totally fine and remained happy at their home till I returned. I was put at ease as they were able to care for him even with the accident, and he was very relaxed when I brought him home.

Courtney has been our hero, for more than one holiday seasons! She always takes perfect care of our dog and cats, plays with them A LOT, and sends beautiful pictures. We never need to worry about anything during our trips because we know our furry family are in good hands.

When I met Jae on the meet & greet I knew she was a very conscientious dog owner and Bella would be in good hands. She took great care of her and she was open to taking Bella without a lot of prior notice. She sent photos and kept me informed on how Bella was getting along. I would not hesitate to leave Bella again with Jae.

Daniela was wonderful from the very beginning. She took the time to do a thorough meet and greet to get to know Lottie. During Lottie's stay, Daniela kept us informed and it was so nice to know that Lottie was safe and in good hands! I'm sure she especially appreciated the large backyard where she could run around in between walks. THANK YOU DANIELA!!!

Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!
