Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.

Chad and his family are amazing! Chad was understanding and communicative throughout the Rover process. His place is truly a property filled with trees and plenty of backyard space for your pup to run and sniff around. Chad is a true professional when it comes to dog sitting, knowing the dogs he cares for very well. He also seems to be a very down-to-earth person that goes the extra mile to be sure your questions are answered and you feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in his care. THANK YOU CHAD & FAM for TLC you showed my family on a holiday weekend. I couldn't have had a better first experience with a Rover sitter. =)

Kelly took such good care of our little Buster. After initially meeting Kelly it was apparent that she was very experienced when it came to caring for dogs and that she pays attention to every detail. While we were gone she sent multiple updates a day where we could see that our little pup made himself at home very quickly (which is saying a lot because he is an anxious boy). Not only did she take good care of him but she also gave him all of the attention and affection that he’s used to ? I would be so happy to have Buster stay with her again and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of him.

I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!

Alex took very great care of our dog while my partner and I have to both be away for a week. My dog has rarely been with sitters and is very nervous around new people. Alex has been great at accommodating all of my dog’s needs, and have a great environment to make my dog feels as comfortable as she can. Alex is very prompt with communication, and provided daily picture/video and detailed updates of my dog. Alex has a ton of experience with dogs so I would definitely leave my dog in her care again.

Lee was amazing!! We were really nervous about leaving our elderly pup with someone in their home but Lee definitely eased that anxiety. She kept us updated with pics and check ins as we requested, and gave Arturro lots of cuddles and lovies as we do. We love that she makes every pup feel at home! We will definitely book again!

Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.

Shannon was great at taking care of Roo during my trip. She was responsive, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—which was helpful after some last-minute work meetings—sent adorable photos and videos, and made sure everything was okay. Roo had a wonderful time in her beautiful backyard during his stay.

Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.

Kristen and Ryan were incredibly warm and accommodating when first meeting my small and nervous doggie. They showed their home and clearly demonstrated a level of care and experience that gave me a lot of comfort and would definitely rebook. They were also attentive of how our dogs interacted and made sure they experienced little to no distress. Highly recommend their services 🩷

Minnie was in great hands with Laura for a few days. Laura went above and beyond by taking her on their weekend adventures. Although Minnie had a little bit of a rough start in a new environment, Laura was understanding and made sure she was comfortable. She provided daily updates and pics of Minnie enjoying the outdoors. Minnie came back a happy and satisfied dog!

Meera and Riley were amazing hosts for Archie! He had 3 trail hikes, and we received lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. He had a great time and was happy and came home relaxed and tired from his hike. So thankful and happy to have Archie stay with Meera and Riley.

Pearl and Jason are the best. Couldn't have been happier with the way this sit went. It was our first time dropping Lou off at a sitter's house (we usually have sitters stay at ours) so we were a bit nervous. We were reassured right away and got lots of pics and videos of Lou having the time of her life playing at the park and hanging out with her new buddies Ryu and Chewie. When we came to pick her up she was tired and happy, and also clearly sad to leave - she kept looking back at Pearl and Jason lol Thank you for taking amazing care of our girl. She's counting down the days until next time! Highly recommend!

Tamara is a fantastic dog sitter!! She watched my 10 month old golden retriever pup for a week, and my dog had an awesome time playing with Tamara's dog, Sidney; running around in the yard; and getting lots of attention and snuggles. Tamara was very communicative and sent plenty of photos and updates. As an experienced sitter and dog owner herself, she also had useful advice to offer, which is great because this is our first dog. Tamara has a lot of gear so we really just had to bring our pup's food and leash over, which was a nice bonus. Our pup came home happy and well cared for, and can't wait to go back!

I can't recommend Jack and Carina + their sweet dog, Prince, enough! They watched my dog for 10 days - this being the longest he's been away from me. They sent pictures and updates throughout and were more than accommodating when I had an expected change and needed to adjust the pick up time. My dog came back so extremely happy after staying with them, per usual. So grateful!

You will never find a better, more caring, more responsible pet sitter than Charlene. She truly is the best. Great with all ages of animals as well as animals with infirmities and/or on meds. My dog is a rescue and has PTSD. She trusted Charlene from the day they met, which is truly rare. Charlene is Scruffy's "Doggy Summer Camp" whenever I can't be around to take care of her, and she loves it. If you truly adore your pets as much as I do (i.e., Scruffy is the closest thing to a child I will ever have), you can rest assured you made the right decision leaving them with Charlene.

Meghan and Jenny were the absolute best! They watched our Dog Squid for nearly 3 weeks while we were in Europe and we got the cutest updates every single day. I honestly think Squid was sad to leave them to come back home. He had so much fun and was so loved. We absolutely will use them again and cannot begin to describe how comforting it is to know your pet is in a loving home while you are traveling.
