“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”


“Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!”

Forest Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Matt was very helpful at organizing our first sitting and really attentive at caring for our 3 year old rambunctious pup. He is incredibly organized, has a very clean home, and is a professional at running his doggy day care. Birdie had a great time, had tons of playtime and love, and will definitely be going back!

This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!

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.

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!

Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!

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!

Lupe took such good care of my little baby Walter Sherman! He is an energetic puppy but she was able to keep him entertained and out of trouble. I loved getting all of the updates and photos, it made me feel so happy to know he was in loving hands. 10/10 we already have our next stay booked!
