“Overall, had a really great experience leaving my pup with Araceli! I happened to be gone two weekends in a row and I was really grateful to be able to have my dog in the same place. He really enjoyed playing with their dog and in their big yard! The only bummer is that both weekends I asked Araceli to give my puppy a specific supplement after dinner and that didn’t happen, even after I reminded her for the second weekend. She is very sweet and would work with her again!”
“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!”
“Emily and Erik have been wonderful with our dog Blitz. Blitz loves to come play with their dog Lennox and we get updates and are never concerned about leaving him in their care. Definitely recommend this family for your dogs care.”
“Flawless. Leah and Chris did a phenomenal job making me and Gnocchi feel comfortable with the arrangement and she had a great time. She's very high energy and they gave her a lot of playtime and attention. And sent tons of pictures too!”
“Jared did an excellent job boarding Fiona, a ~2.5 year old pit mix that is brand new to our home. Jared came over for a meet and greet, where he let Fiona snuggle up to him which he interspersed with little checks, like touching her ears or feet to see how she responded. We sat in the back yard for a while talking about Fiona, his dog Bart, and his background - and after a while he suggested that he thought it would work well to board her at his place. I brought Fiona over there to see how she did in that environment, and she was very comfortable there. Jared sent me photos and updates throughout, reporting on how Fiona and Bart were doing together. They started with short play sessions until they got more familiar with each other. Jared was always quick to respond to text messages. Thanks Jared for looking after Fiona, you'll be seeing her again soon.”
“Colleen is AMAZING I 100% recommend. I am always hesitant about leaving my golden retriever with someone, considering how hyperactive he can be… but Colleen reassured me that this was no problem and made me feel at ease with how much experience she has with dogs! She is also super kind and easy to get along with. She sent me updates while on my trip to Seattle and communicated extremely well!”
“Danielle is a thoughtful and considerate sitter who always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. Her dog, Macy, got along great with mine, and she consistently responds promptly and sends photos during the stay. She also has a large yard that my dog really enjoyed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Danielle!”
“Carolyn was so communicative and sent us such great photos and videos of our puppy while we were away! We are so appreciate of her awesome care and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“We had an amazing experience with Steve! He is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about our dog, Ranger. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ranger was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Lisa is such a great pet sitter. She was great with communicating and sending pictures to make sure we didnt miss our pup too much. Going to 100% use Lisa for future stays. Thanks so much Lisa!”
“Genevieve cared for our sweet girl as if she was her own! We could tell our dog felt comfortable and loved the entire time we were gone, evidenced by her behavior when we returned (if she was uncomfortable she would have been way more anxious when we picked her up) and by all of the wonderful pics and videos Genevieve sent while we were away! We will DEFINITELY be using Genevieve’s services again and would recommend her to any family or friends in need.”
“KC’s home was tidy and she had a fenced yard. She sent daily updates and a photo on how our dog was doing. She was kind and genuinely enjoyed time with our dog. I will use her doggy sitting services again. Thanks KC for making us feel at ease while we were away 🤗”
“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!”
“Our dog Stella had a wonderful time staying with Margaret (who goes by Caitlin) and family. She seemed very happy when we picked her up, and we got great updates while we were away. Caitlin was also super flexible about pickup when we had a setback getting home, which was so helpful. Would absolutely have Stella stay with her again!”
“Karilla and James were great! They coordinated a handoff with another sitter for me, and made sure to meet Roux ahead of time to get to know her. Would send her back for sure!”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“Ann and her girls were awesome! They clearly doted on Cloud and he seemed to have a blast playing with them and their dog Pepito. Would definitely use Ann again!”
“David was excellent! Lumi had a great time playing with the other pups and I think benefited from David working from home, which is what she is used to. Thank you so much, will be booking again!”
“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!”
First Place dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time ever leaving my dog canela with someone else and for few nights, I honestly was afraid she would have so much anxiety especially being around other dogs. Jared was very kind and kept me updated on how she was doing including sending pictures of her which helped me not feel anxious. He was very knowledgeable and gave me a few tips on how to help my dog not be anxious when being in a crate and with her barking at other dogs. I am definitely going to be requesting Jared to dog sit as he was amazing and I could tell that my dog canela felt welcomed and at home plus made some friends 🥰 I recommend Jared for sure to anyone needing to have their dogs watched for.
The best sitters we have had for our dogs. My golden retriever is getting palliative chemotherapy and has quite a few meds and other needs and I was nervous leaving him for 3 nights. They had no issues with providing the care that Arnie needed and gave me plenty of updates to reassure me. They went on walks, played with the sitters dog, and slept wherever they wanted. An added bonus-the pictures they took were amazing!!!
