“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”
“Nicole was super easy to communicate with, and made sure to get as much information as possible to ensure an easy stay. She obviously cares very deeply about the pets entrusted to her care, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”
“Milo stayed with Amy from 11/28-11/30 and he seemed to have enjoyed himself, playing with the other dogs there. Amy sent pics of Milo daily as well as a video of him playing with another dog. He was "lights out" after having a bath when he got home, probably tired from all the fun he had! He will be returning to stay at Amy's when I travel for work.”

Fairmount dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sent pictures and updates and was available short notice. She was kind and friendly to me and my pup. Thank you!
So great! Got plenty of pictures of our happy dogs! Very responsive and understanding of our dogs different needs. Definitely will be booking with again!
Ashley was great! Gave updates every few days and was very responsive. Even gave my baby a bath before I picked her up. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!
Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her
Zorah is a stellar fur baby sitter. She took great care of my Blue. Informative about his daily stay and sent great pics. I’ll be a returning customer.
Charles and his wife are amazing hosts. Our Bailey was very comfortable and well-cared for in their home with a big fenced-in yard. They are quick and easy to communicate with, very helpful with any concerns.
Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.
Oakley had a great time with Courtney and her family! We got frequent pic updates which are incredibly important to us.
Matt was such an amazing sitter. He gave me daily updates and sent pics of how much fun my little Odessa was doing. He knew that I haven't boarded her before so he was extra attentive and kind which immediately eased my worries. I can't wait to book with Matt again!
Oscar had a great time with Nicole! We were gone for a week and Nicole kept me updated with stories and pictures. I will definitely be requesting Nicole’s help for Oscar again in the future.
Ethel is our favorite dog sitter for our pup when we go on trips and can’t bring him along. She is very kind and attentive with him, giving him lots of love and pets and being sure to keep us updated with lots of pictures. Our dog enjoys getting to spend time with other dogs when he stays with Ethel. It’s great for his socialization and allows him lots of time to play and have fun while we are out of town. Ethel is great!! Highly recommend!
Katie was fantastic. She kept me assured of my pet’s well being and sent me pics. My babe was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. I’m so grateful!
Michaela is an amazing and dedicated dog sitter! She’s very personable and professional as well. She provided us regular updates and photos of our two pups, Rodger and Bailey. She accommodated our dog who has known back/neck issues and was patient with our other dog who is reactive. We highly recommend her to anyone else! :)
Darien was really responsive and helped work around our schedule. Our dog Whisky was immediately comfortable with Darien and he forgot about us. We got regular updates on how he was doing. We'd recommend Darien to anyone to trust with their dog.
We had a great experience with our recent pet sitter, who watched our two dogs, Griffin and Max, while we were away. From our first communication, they were responsive and kind. When we got back, the dogs were relaxed and content. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!
Tiffany did a great job watching Brodie! Will definitely be coming back whenever I take my next trip.
Karly was great! Stella seemed to enjoy her long weekend and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Karly, getting updates and pictures every so often!
Lila was exceptional with care and communication for our older dog while we were away. She went above and beyond when he wasn't feeling well and was having extended issues, and we were relieved to come back to a happy, recovering doggo. Highly recommend Lila as a friendly, responsive, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!
Amber and Jason took such amazing care of our little puppy. It was the first time we had left her with anyone, and she’s tiny, but they did everything to be accommodating and safe with her. They also sent lots of videos, pictures. and updates. I was able to get away and unplug for a much-needed relaxing weekend. Thanks a million!
