“As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....”

“Lisa was so great with my nervous dog. You can tell, and my dog could tell, that’s she’s a pet lover. My dog latched on to her and Lisa was very reassuring sending pictures and updates letting me know my dog was in good hands. I was able to relax more on my vacation knowing ZeZe was being well cared for!”

“She provided pictures throughout the day and made sure Apollo felt right at home. I’m very particular about who I trust to care for him, but she made me feel completely comfortable. It meant so much knowing he was safe, loved, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the updates and the attention she gave him. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”

“Mary was so nice and caring with my pup who was a bit anxious to go somewhere new. She was communicative and gave lots of updates during my dogs stay. Would definitely book again ☺️”

“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”

“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”


“Sara was both completely professional and warm/kind with Kiara. She was ready to set up a meet & greet when it worked for us. She was also patient when our schedule changed a bit for drop off and pick up, and let us shift the times a bit. Most importantly, Kiara had a great time with plenty of walks and trips to the dog part with her new dog friend Josie.”


“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”

“She was very kind and flexible. Phoenix was in great hands with Katrina, she had lots of fun and exercise. Katrina was great at communication and you could tell she loved watching dogs.”


“Blythe watched my pup for over a week and it was an awesomely positive experience for both me and Juno. Blythe was communicative, sent daily updates with pictures, and made me feel at ease. I will absolutely be recommending her to others and be re-booking services in the future.”

“I am thankful Rhonda was able to watch my Boston Terrier on short notice. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and will definitely have her watch him in the future.”

“Hannah and her family are wonderful! We were provided so many updates and pictures during our dogs week long stay with Hannah. We will definitely look to book with her in the future.”

“Moving to Milwaukee not knowing anyone, finding a quality dog sitter was my top priority, and Erin has gone above and beyond any of my expectations. When I drop Lux off I know he is going to be the most taken care of and loved little man. Staying at Erin's has been his home away from home, and I have appreciated Erin's consistent communication and photo updates during his stays. Erin herself is incredibly diligent with making sure she knows all necessary information about how to care for your animal, and goes out of her way to be flexible with timing of drop off/pick-ups or if you need last minute services. I am so sad to be moving away and to not be able to rely on Erin anymore - she truly is the best! :(”

“This was our third time having Katie take care of our dog, Mylo, and she has been consistently wonderful. Her communication is excellent. She’s always helpful, informative, and keeps us updated. Mylo can be on the nervous side when he’s away from home, but he genuinely seems to enjoy his time with her. Katie does everything she can to make him feel comfortable and at home, which gives us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her.”

“Debbie took great care of our dog, she took her on so many adventures and checked in with pictures! She also handled our dog’s medications without issues. Definitely will book her next time we need a dog sitter!”

“My dog loves going to Stacey’s place. She takes great care of him even with his different eating preferences. Will keep booking with her and definitely recommend!”

“Would definitely work with Tyler again. He took our dogs on plenty of walks, and they absolutely loved his kids. He took pictures and videos to keep us updated as well. Couldn't be happier working with Tyler.”

Fernwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney did a wonderful job taking care of my middle-aged and senior dogs. I received regular updates, showing me how they settled in quickly, and how she modified activities based on the weather. I didn't give a good explanation of how to give one of my dog's medications, and she reached out appropriately so I could give better instructions. The frequent updates gave me great reassurance that my dogs were in good hands while I was away, making it easier to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them.

Madeline was absolutely wonderful with Pretzel and Stella during a two-week stay. As the first sitter outside of friends and family I've ever trusted with my dogs, I was understandably nervous but she put those worries to rest immediately. She kept me consistently informed throughout the entire booking, which made such a difference. I came home to two happy, healthy pups and total peace of mind. She clearly genuinely cares about the animals in her care. I'm already looking forward to booking with her again!

So kind and accommodating. It was great that she had a dog as it helped mine feel at ease. Sara asked for a meet & greet to make sure we were on the same page. Thank you for taking him to the dog park, his favorite place to be. Will definitely ask to rebook with her if needed on my next visit. Thank you Sara!

We had a wonderful experience with Abby! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cared so much about our dog while we were away. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with, which made the whole process stress free and painless. We especially appreciated all the photo updates she sent. It was so reassuring and fun to see how happy and well cared for our dog was throughout his stay. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
