“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”

“This is the first dog I’ve ever owned and I was very nervous giving her to anyone to watch. Angie is the best. She made me feel at ease through the process and gave my dog Ripley a great week away. She sent me lots of pictures and was quick in her responses giving me updates on how Ripley was doing. I will definitely use Angie again.”

“Aishea was very welcoming and made my cat's first stay away from home easy and worry free. She responded very quickly to messages and sent updates, which I appreciated. I have already booked another stay for my cat.”

“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”

“I have been using rover for 4 years now and Amy has been the best petson to take care of my dog "Johnny" so far. She is Highly Recommended and will be using her to take care of my Dog moving forward. The pictures she sent us we awesome and it really looked like my dog was living his best life lol. You will not be disappointed.”

“She was so good with my dog and she sent lots of pictures so I felt really good of her watching my dog and I'm going to use her in the future”

“Mary and her husband Derek were amazing with Chewie and Rae. Our pups had the best time and were so well cared for. Mary went out of her way to send us daily updates and tons of pictures, which made being away so much easier and gave us such peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for better care”

“Allison clearly loves dogs and looks after all of them with great love and joy! She provided my two dogs a safe home away from home for 5 nights. She gave Ruby her medicine and made sure all their needs were met. She is excellent and we will be back!”

“First time using Rover and had a great experience with Keith & Ashley. Had last minute travel plans come up and they were very accommodating and kept me updated and in the loop all weekend. My dog is anxious and has some separation anxiety and they made him feel right at home.”

“Rebecca took amazing care of our dog Piper! She was so easy to book with and had great communication throughout. We loved getting all of the updates and pictures showing Piper having the best time. She even sent Piper home with a doggie bag of treats. We’ve already booked our next stay for Piper with her. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin exceeded our expectations with her extraordinary care for our rambunctious 1.5 year old GSP, Harvey. Each day we would get several updates with photos/videos which put these new puppy parents’ minds at ease. We were so impressed with the amount of exercise (both physical and mental) that Harvey was getting. Kristin went above and beyond teaching Harvey the fundamentals of the agility course, working on his commands and giving him homemade lick mats and treats. Harvey was genuinely sad to leave Kristin, Mark and Kaia but we know he will be back the next time we take a trip! Thank you for everything!”

“Taylor and his wife did a great job watching Rex. This is our second time using them to watch our dog. Their house is open and clean. They sent updates and pictures daily and were great at coordinating drop off and pick up times with us. Rex absolutely loves them!”

“A safe, loving place to leave our pup! They take such good care of our dog, and Sophie seems right at home with them and their own two pups. We love having this wonderful option so close to home.”
“Vassu took excellent care of our dog while we were away for 2 weeks! She communicated regularly and sents lots of photos. Will definitely book again when needed!”

“Caitlin and her family took incredible care of our dog! She has stayed with them in the past and loved the accommodations AND the TLC! Caitlin provided a few photos while we were away, which only further assured us our pet was being well taken care of! Thanks again!”

“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
