“Julie was absolutely fantastic! We had to change our pick up day on 2 different occasions. Not only was she completely accommodating, she took excellent care of our puppy. I'd recommend her to anyone.”
“We had another great experience with Alia, Ian and family. They took amazing care of my dog Cleo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such a loving, safe environment. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but they made it so much easier. I’m so grateful and will continue using them in the future!”
“Tyra is an extremely organized and very loving caretaker. She always provides updates to me and it's clear that she will care about our pet as if it was her own. Her house is organized and she keeps record of everything. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Ash is an AMAZING sitter! The second I dropped my girl off I knew should would be ok. He is kind, responsive, communicative, and clearly loves each dog as if it is his own. Thanks to Ash, I was able to enjoy a little vacation without worrying one second about my little girl. 10/10 will hire again!”
“Tara did a fabulous job! Submitted photos daily and kept me updated on my dog’s stay! I’m sure he didn’t want to come home because he made friends there…a great family, too.”
“Once again he was amazing! Cobra was very happy and excited to see him again! He will definitely continue being my sitter! He treated him like a part of his on family! 🥰”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing and we cannot say enough good things about her care for our puppy (a six year old German Shepherd) while we were away. It was our first experience using a service like Rover and sending our pup to a house other than a relative’s. Michelle took excellent care of our boy, kept in regular communication during his stay, and left us feeling at ease. She’s a pleasure to have met and we would recommend her to all!”
“This was my first time using Rover. It was a last minute change of plans with my original dog sitting plans. Laura was quick to respond and very accommodating around my extremely hectic schedule. She made it a very simple and smooth process. I was very pleased with her home setup and yard during our meet & greet. I knew my puppy was going to be safe and well looked after. I received lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Laura to watch your pet, you will be glad you did! I know I was!”
“Gave us regular updates and helped make what was a chaotic weekend for me and my girlfriend, a nice peaceful getaway with no worries. Can’t thank them enough!”
“Lynn was a fantastic fit for our Ace. She spent an hour meeting with us and invited us into her home. She was very thorough & organized. She accommodated our every request and always respond quickly & professionally to all our concerns & questions. We’ll definitely be asking Lynn to take care of Ace during any of our future vacations.”
“Amie and her family are wonderful! She is a great communicator and sends daily updates, which gives us reassurance that our dog is being well taken care of. She treats our dog like he is another member of their family, which we so appreciate. Our dog requires a lot of love and attention, which her family provides to him. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Amie and family!”
“Khalilah was AMAZING! From our first meet and greet until the end of our booking, she was responsive, kind and considerate. This was my first experience with leaving my fur baby with someone I didn’t know well, but my anxiety was eased by her calm demeanor and consistent updates on my fur baby, who adjusted well while I was away. I can’t sing her praises enough, and am thankful for her! 😊”
“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Brady had a great time with Aaron and family, who were able to accommodate us on short notice. Would definitely have them sit for Brady next time we go out of town. Good communication from Aaron with a lot of pictures.”
About: I love dogs, being active, and being outside. My husband and I are teachers and have the summers off, which means, if you book with me during one of our school breaks, your dog will have someone with him/her all day. I love to take the dogs I watch on hikes/walks at different parks, and even on runs-if your dog likes to run. With kids in the house, your dog will get lots of love and attention. If your dog stays with me, I can assure you they will feel like they went on an adventure (lots of activity and excitement). I work full time as a teacher, but have my summers and holidays off. This means, I will be able to provide your dog with lots of attention. In my home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run. My neighbors also have dogs in their backyard, so your dog will also have friends to interact with. Outside of letting your dog run outside, I will take your dog on daily walks and outings to parks.
“Jennifer and her husband did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were on a two-week vacation. Jen would send me pics every day so I could see all the fun he was having! He really was on a wonderful vacation of his own! I highly recommend Jennifer!!”
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Chelsea! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was definitely nervous, but she went above and beyond to make both me and my pup feel comfortable. She was so communicative the entire time — sending updates, photos, and easing any worries I had. My dog came home happy and well cared for, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
Farmington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sam is the BEST!! Period. We always book with him if we can't bring our dog Luke with us. He truly cares for Luke like he is his own. Sam is really great about making sure if there is more than one dog to make sure they interact well and if they need to be separate or not. He truly gets to know your dog and their needs. Plus, his big back yard is one of our dogs favorites!! He always gets excited when we turn down his street. I will always book with Sam!!
Rohit was amazing with our furball, Bruno. Bruno could not stop talking about how he was treated like a king for the weekend. He got to run freely in the big fence yard, lots of petting, and chilling on the couch. Bruno has specifically asked for Rohit the next time us parents need to get away for the weekend. From a parents perspective, Rohit was great at updates, pics, and just all around taking great care of our Bruno. Your furball is in excellent hands with Rohit and we will be using him again down the road. Thank you!!
Michelle is always amazing with my dogs!! They get so excited when we are arriving at her house and they always come home happy. I love knowing that they are also enjoying a little vacation while I’m away, and I enjoy the “vacation” photos Michelle sends me while I’m away. Amazing experience all around for dogs and owners. 🙂
Felisha was so kind to take our pup last minute! We appreciated her flexibility and friendliness. She communicated with us in a timely fashion while we were away on our trip. She seemed to know how to read dogs' behavior, and was very attentive to Rosie's needs. My pup even had a built in playmate with Freya 😊. Rosie came home happy and well-cared for. Thank you Felisha!
Karen and her husband were honestly the most kindest people I’ve ever met. My family normally takes our dog Lola everywhere we go but wasn’t allowed to bring her to Florida with us for our daughter soccer tournament so she stayed with Karen for 8 days. I didn’t worry about Lola at all because not only was she happy to be at Karen’s I knew she was completely safe.
Julie and Ari got along great. So did Julie's dog Ernie. Julie was very able to handle our timid dog's special care and meds. Very affectionate w Ari, and sent pictures of Ari's daily life which showed a relaxed dog. She was also accommodating to our schedule needs which changed before the boarding. I felt comfortable w Ari in Julie's care and will not hesitate to hire her again.
She was amazing with my Ivan pup needing a last min sitter for new years eve!! I received multiple pictures throughout the night and next day as well as updates how he was doing! She took him on multiple walks and he actually ate a lot of his food!!! He normally eats almost nothing when we travel with him. The multiple walks wore him out and he's done nothing but nap since we've gotten home with him! I will always use Ivona anytime I'm in the area and need a sitter!
