“Dayna and Desmond were awesome taking care of our fur babies. They took care of them as if their own. One of our dogs has a partial torn ACL and they accommodated her by pick her up and carrying her along with administering her medication as needed. They sent pictures and updates often and was a relief to know that my dogs were under great care. I was able to relax during my weekend vacation.”


“Joshua & Brittany were awesome! We were a last minute booking and they just rolled with it. They took great care of our boy Arnie. I will absolutely book with them again!”


“Jared did great over the week we boarded Tofu. Friendly, positive, welcoming, affable during our meet/greet. We were kept regularly updated via text and photos, which we appreciated. Jared has vet tech experience, which has added value. There are several cats and a big lovable dog in his home, which Tofu reportedly coexisted well (something with Tofu we can never be 100% sure about! =). We would definitely consider Jared's services in the future.”


“We LOVED our experience with Jennifer! She was wonderful with our sweet Luna. She sent updates with photos to assure us that Lu was very comfortable with her, her family and family pets. There's nothing better than to find someone who clearly loves animals and takes such great care. Highly recommend her!”


“Macchia was well taken care and she was kind of sad in where way home. Good sign she had a great time with Colleen and her dog. Macchia is looking fwd for our next trip to spend more time with Colleeen 😜”


“Margaret was absolutely WONDERFUL! Jameson had such a great time spending the weekend with her and her family. She walked and played with him and was sure to send pictures of their great time together. We would highly recommend her.”


“Henry loved his weekend at Steve’s! Steve was accommodating and quick to respond. Steve shared updates and pictures during the stay. Henry had a blast with Steve’s dogs, he slept for the majority of the day after I picked him up so I know he thoroughly enjoyed himself! Will book with Steve again in the future. Thanks so much, Steve!”


“It is always a little hard to leave Promise with someone new, but between the excellent reviews and the wagging tail when we went over to meet Daniel before our trip, we were confident we had made a good choice. Daniel appropriately spoiled Promise, even letting her sleep on his bed, and he sent us several photos showing her enjoying herself. We would not hesitate to entrust her to his care again.”


“Tina and Scott are wonderful boarders. I would highly recommend. From the the initial meet and greet it was clear that my dogs needs were going to be met, and even above and beyond. My dogs are generally anxious and weary of strangers and Tina and Scott were able to respect their weariness and build relationship (with many walks). Both dogs quickly built trust and showed their cuddle/lovebug selves. I appreciated the updates throughout the boarding. Looking forward to booking again in the future.”


“Ann and her family lovingly cared for our two puppies, Charlie and Pickles, for two weeks while we were on a family trip. She made the whole experience so easy for us, and knowing they were in such good hands made our vacation much more relaxing. Most importantly, our dogs were happy, well cared for, and loved during our time away. We’re so grateful to Ann and her family!”


“Matcha had so much fun with Deborah and Finn! She was well taken care of and loved having a new doggie friend! I enjoyed getting the updates with photos. Deborah was very thorough in asking about how to take care of Matcha.”


“Hannah was great with our dog, Brooklyn! She sent lots of updates and progress reports. Our dog has severe anxiety, and he had a great time there. We can’t wait to hire her again!”


“Lisa is a kind and wonderful pet sitter. She made my spoiled dog very happy during her stay. She provided pictures and was great with communication. I will continue to book with Lisa!”


“Debbie is wonderful! She took our dog on lots of walks and sent pictures and updates during his stay. Our dog looked relaxed and happy, which made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. We will definitely use Debbie again in the future.”


“Emily and Bowie were such amazing hosts. I know my pup Chommy had a great time and felt right at home. I really enjoyed all of the pictures and videos Emily sent along the way! :)”


“Max had a great time with Olivia and Tyler. They were fantastic and updating us without even asking. They let us know about the positives and the negatives and we appreciated the honesty. We will definitely be using their service again if they will have Max.”


“Ciara was Fantastic! Would book again. We didn't have to worry about our boy Odin while we were on vacay in Hawaii. It was the best feeling ever to know he was in good hands.”

First Place dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Brandi watching our lab. She made Nellie(our lab) feel right at home and with great care. She sent pictures every day and let us know how she was doing, I can’t recommend her enough. Definitely will be going back to her next time!

Jenny was absolutely amazing with Denver! She communicated with me daily and always sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Denver came home happy and tired—which means he got plenty of playtime with her pups! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!

We LOVED our experience with Jennifer! She was wonderful with our sweet Luna. She sent updates with photos to assure us that Lu was very comfortable with her, her family and family pets. There's nothing better than to find someone who clearly loves animals and takes such great care. Highly recommend her!

Ann and her family lovingly cared for our two puppies, Charlie and Pickles, for two weeks while we were on a family trip. She made the whole experience so easy for us, and knowing they were in such good hands made our vacation much more relaxing. Most importantly, our dogs were happy, well cared for, and loved during our time away. We’re so grateful to Ann and her family!

Tina and Scott took great care of our dog while we were out of town! She gets anxious when we leave her, but Tina and Scott helped her to settle in and she had a great week with them. They sent us daily pictures/updates, and were great about communicating with us!

This was our dog’s first time boarding at someone else’s home, and she was feeling quite insecure at first. Bailey was incredibly patient and empathetic throughout the entire stay. She took great care of our pup, and we could really feel that she understood our dog’s emotional needs. Bailey also kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We are truly grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter!

I can’t say enough about the quality care you’ll receive from Jonathan! Great check ins and very thorough during drop off/pick up. Asks questions so he knows your pup through and through, and makes you feel secure in your choice of a sitter. Definitely would recommend him for all your pet sitting needs and will use him again if needed!

Jenny was great. She clearly loves dogs and treated Luna like her own. She sent me updates and pictures during the stay, which helped put me at ease. My dog has been struggling to eat lately and Jenny was very patient with her and helped her get her meds and some food. I needed to extend the sitting and Jenny was very accommodating and kind.

The absolute best Rover sitter experience ever! Angela stopped by prior to confirming the booking to meet with us and our pups. When it was dog sitting time, she picked up our pups in her car and her back seat had a dog bed type item that provided both safety and comfort. We received regular updates throughout our trip inclusive of both photos and videos! She gave our pups regular walks, individualized for their needs: a slow walk for our senior dog and a more training-focused walk for or two-year old dog who has serious focus issues, but he's so much better now!!!! On a personal level, Angela is a very pleasant person: elegant, calm demeanor, attentive to details, communicative, caring, and definitely a doggie lover. Needless to say, we look forward to becoming repeat clients :)
