“Cheri and her family took great care of Duke. She sent lots of pictures and Duke really enjoyed playing with other dog friends. We love Cheri and so glad she was able to take care of Duke. Thanks Cheri!!”
“Megan and her girls were amazing with our fur baby! We boarded him for 5 days and received photos every day. He came back so exhausted and had such a good time and play. Megan also provided so many snacks and treats and a bath. Loved this experience and highly recommend!!!!”
“Amanda was amazing thank you so much to her and her kiddos they took amazing care of our puppy Rocco. He was treated like a part of the family he fit right in with her frenchies as well. We will definitely bring Rocco back if she will have him again. Amanda also updated with pictures of Rocco the entire stay.”
“Ariel was great! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates. I was also happy to see other dogs in Ariel’s care. It meant that Nandi would not only have a great place to stay while I traveled but that she also got to socialize with other dogs. Nandi seemed happy and calm during pickup which is always a good sign when I use Rover sitters. I had peace knowing that Nandi was cared for and safe while I was away. I would definitely book with Ariel again.”
“Beautiful place where Butter loved spending the long weekend in. Marcos is incredibly sweet and you can tell all the dogs in his care love him”
“Rima is so kind and patient. We received photos of our pups daily and they seemed to have a small adjustment but in the end they seemed like they enjoyed themselves. Rima is flexible and she made the process smooth and effortless. Thank you, Rima!”
“I had a last minute emergency and had to leave town and my pup behind. Thankfully, Rachel and Vincent were accommodating and flexible! I got plenty of communication with questions and updates throughout the day, putting me at ease. Thank you so much!”
“Sandra & Sorin and family were amazing. They did everything possible to help my little Mini Schnauzer feel comfortable and part of the family. Pepper was confused when we dropped her off, but they gave her lots of comfort. Pepper was glad to see us, but not desperate like she has been at boarding kennels. We look forward to having Sandra & Sorin take care of her again in their safe, loving home. I highly recommend Sandra & Sorin for excellent, caring dog boarding and daycare.”
“Tyjuan was an incredible sitter for my dog, Ahira! From the very beginning, he was responsive, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. He took excellent care of Ahira, providing regular updates and photos that reassured me while I was away. Ahira seemed happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in his care, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail Tyjuan showed. His kindness and reliability made all the difference, and I would absolutely book him again. Highly recommend Tyjuan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Rizzo had such a great time with Xinya. It was his first time staying with someone since I adopted him so I was a little nervous about how it would go but she was really responsive and sent me lots of pictures and I could see that he felt loved and happy!”
“Laura and Vladimir were wonderful! They are so warm and true dog lovers. They took such good care of our puppy. They sent pictures and updates everyday. We will definitely use them again! Can’t say enough positive things about them. Highly recommend.”
“Deb and Doug did a wonderful job taking care of our pup (and us)! We have never left her with a non-family member before, and they put everyone at ease with an initial meet and greet. During our trip, they were communicative and sent daily updates and photos letting us know how everything was going.”
“If I could give 100 stars I would! Words cannot express how grateful we are for the kindness and professionalism Eloisa showered on our 2 dogs during their time with her. We had previously booked with another River sitter and a day into our vacation the initial Rover sitter we booked started blowing up my messages letting us know that she had lost one of our dogs and had to involve the police to get our dog back. She then said she was “DONE” and we needed to find another option ASAP or she was threatening to let our dogs loose in the road with heavy traffic. Complete stressful nightmare but thankfully (after a frantic search) Eloisa swooped in like an Angel on earth and picked up our dogs from this sicko and gave them beyond 5 star care and so much love for the remainder of our time away on our family vacation. She kept us up to date with pictures and messages and provided our 2 dogs a truly wonderful experience after an extremely traumatic situation. We are truly grateful and will definitely be booking with Eloisa for all future boarding needs for our dogs! Not all heroes wear capes!! Eloisa is a GEM!!!”
“Bridget was hands down the best sitter I’ve had in Rover. She is organized, communicative and sweet. Bridget made me feel completely at ease. Thanks B!”
“Sensational!!!! My Nessie was immediately accepted into John and Ryan's healthy and happy home and I am beyond grateful as at the last minute I needed boarding for her with a minor complication. John and Ryan truly are the best and pure animal lovers. THANK YOU TWO!!! Can't say enough~”
“Diana and Scott were amazing! They gave regular updates, sent fun videos/photos, and were super flexible. Ww will be sending our pup to stay with them again!”
“Tammy was wonderful! She was very communicative, quick to respond, and took great care of my pup! Kong had a wonderful time staying with her and playing with some of the other dogs she was sitting (of course, she made me aware of this beforehand). I will definitely be in touch with her for any future needs.”
“Super grateful to Veronica for looking after my little one while I was out of town. I received lots of photos and updates, and am especially grateful to Veronica’s patience when I got caught in a series of delays when picking up Charlie. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Janelle and Elijah are great! Super accommodating and flexible with schedules and amazing at communication! Kershaw loved his second stay with them and made a new bestie.☺️ Highly recommend!”
