“Katherine was kind and helpful! Striker had a lovely stay with her and her family. She was super easy to coordinate with! I really enjoyed the pictures and updates about Striker during his stay.”
“Corey was great. He sent pictures to let me know she was doing good. He gave me updates and communicated very well throughout her stay. Will definitely book with him again in the future if I’m ever in need of another sitter.”
“Ingrid was very patient, nice and communicative with me throughout Rocco’s stay. She sent photos and messages regarding Rocco’s day very often. It eased my anxiety as this was Rocco’s first time staying with someone else overnight. He is very attached to me so I was a bit concerned, but from the updates I got it looks like he did just fine :). Thank you Ingrid for taking such a good care of my baby and for being patient with him.”
“My babies LOVE Hayleigh. I actually think Sandy was a little sad when we first picked her up. Thank you Hayleigh for treating my babies like your own. We will definitely be using your services again.”
“This was the second time we used John and his wife Joanna and they were wonderful once again. Our pups can be nervous when they’re away from home but I could tell they recognized their home (and kids) and felt comfortable there, which made it easier to leave them. They communicate and send pictures/updates every day, and when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well they let us know right away and were willing to stay up at night with him to make sure he was okay. They even checked up on him after he was back home. Just lovely!”
“Carmen was fantastic. She was able to accommodate us at the last minute and helped us watch our dog for the perfect amount of time, or at least the amount of time we only needed her to. Carmen was very friendly and flexible, sending us updates and pictures throughout the few hours she watched Mao. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“Ana is an amazing pet sitter! My dogs were very well Taken care of and I would absolutely use Ana again in a heartbeat. She is the best Rover I have ever used by far. Thank you Ana!!”
“We are so grateful to have found Stephen to care for our pup while we moved our daughter back to college. Stephen was professional, organized, and excelled at communication. From our very first organized meeting to see if he was a good fit, to sending daily updates and pictures; Stephen gave us piece of mind and comfort in knowing that our mini golden doodle was being well cared for and loved in our absence. We look forward to future vacations now that we have found Stephen and his family.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Martina and her husband! Beau was so well taken care of—we could tell he was completely relaxed and not stressed out at all, which hasn’t always been the case when he’s stayed in places with other dogs. The updates and photos were a great touch and gave us real peace of mind. They both truly love dogs and treated Beau like part of their family and shared pictures that prove it! We’re so grateful and will be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey was very responsive and sent photos of my boy every day. She took great care of him and he had so much fun playing with her dog he was exhausted when we came back home.”
“Juliana and her family were wonderful with Murphy. Excellent communication throughout the visit. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs that extra assurance their pup is in great hands.”
“Muffin had the most wonderful 2 week stay at Deb’a house and loved hanging out with her darling dog, Trixie. We received pictures and updates from Deb on a regular basis and she was so kind to give Muffin a bath at a very short notice. Deb’s house was a home away from our own home for Muffin and I look forward to boarding Muffin in the future for sure. Hunter kept Muffin company and Muffin was so happy there! Thank you Deb for opening your house up for Muffin and loving on him while we were away!”
“Absolutely amazing!! She gives great updates with plenty of pictures. She is always quick to respond and will tend to all your needs. It was my first time using rover and she was a perfect fit! I will definitely have her watch Kenzie again!!”
