“Amazing. They were so caring and their dog is probably the most friendly friend our dog has ever gotten the pleasure of playing and living with over the span of almost a week. We got tons of pictures during the course of the stay, and felt that we were in truly caring hands. Never had a worry. Our dog is definitely looking forward to the next time we send her over lol. 10/10”
“Christopher took excellent care of our boy and provided frequent updates. He even bought a bone for our boy to chew on while he looked after him! I would definitely use again.”
“Mindy cared for our dog, Shanti, and our cat, Anora, for three weeks - and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly dependable. She took the time to understand both of their unique personalities and needs, and it was clear how much genuine care and attention she and her partner gave them. Her home is beautiful and welcoming, and their spacious, secure backyard was a dream for Shanti to enjoy during his stay. Knowing they were in such a peaceful and pet-friendly environment made all the difference. Mindy kept us updated with messages and photos, and when we returned, both Shanti and Anora were happy and clearly very well loved. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, loving, and truly attuned. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again - she’s an absolute gem.”
“I’ll highly recommend Laura for your dog needs! She is just such a beautiful fur mom.. I have a labradoodle puppy, Oreo and I never like the idea of sending him to a facility or a day care. But Laura is Oreo’s another home from home. He is always happy when it’s time for him to go over her place and she sends such beautiful photos!! I never have to wait for her to send me an update. She makes sure to do that herself. Highly recommend!”

“I recently hired Dawn to care for my dog, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service. Dawn was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my pet's well-being. My dog was happy, well-fed, and received plenty of exercise and affection while I was away. Dawn provided regular updates, including photos, which gave me peace of mind. Their professionalism and love for animals truly stood out. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Lucy and Milo were in great hands with Kathy! Kathy was very detail-oriented prior to the stay, and kept me well informed. I really appreciated the photos that she went to show me how well they were doing. Even when Lucy caught a stomach bug, Kathy took great care of her. She even took the time to take her to the vet, only when extra measures were deemed necessary. We look forward to working with Kathy again in the future!”
“Frankie absolutely loves his time with Theresa!!! I love that she regularly shares action pics and checks in to let me know everything is okay. She is the very best!”

Gaithersburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ben is fabulous and my dogs have a great time in his care.i know there will be no issues with my dogs getting their meds and he makes sure my extremely timid mini poodle is completely comfortable around other dogs he might be watching at the same time. Would highly recommend using him to watch your fur baby. He gives me peace of mind!
This was the longest boarding we’ve ever done for our dog, so we were a bit nervous about trying someone new. Brenda made the process so easy—she was happy to arrange a meet-and-greet, and we first booked just one night to make sure our dog wouldn’t be too stressed. She was flexible in finding time to set everything up before the actual boarding. During the stay, Brenda sent us daily pictures and was very responsive to my messages. Our dog, Perita, felt safe and cared for, and now that we’re back, she’s calm and happy—proof that she had a wonderful stay.
Jingming was absolutely wonderful! She put so much thought and energy into to providing personalized care for our dog. She sent us a summary every day along with plenty of pictures and videos of our dog, which we looked forward to getting each day. She took the time to get to know our needy girl’s personality, and found ways of making her comfortable beyond the instructions we provided. We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible person to watch their fur baby!
Lora was fabulous. Answered so many questions and sent many pics and updates of our dog. She really went above and beyond for which we are extremely grateful. If the pics she sent are any indication - our dog Tara had an incredible time as she was either grinning her face off or napping! Would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks again Lora!
Leticia took amazing care of my dog, Bently, on very short notice—the night before my request. She followed all of my instructions for Bently perfectly, kept me updated with detailed check-ins, and made sure Bently was comfortable the whole time! This was my first time using Rover (I usually board him), but after this experience, I’ll be booking with Leticia every time! Her great communication and the peace of mind she gave me made my trip so much easier. She’s definitely someone you can trust to take the best care of your pup!!!
We were consistently well updated about Yuki while she was in Michael’s care, and we’ll definitely use his services again. From the moment I dropped her off, I felt she was in very good hands and had peace of mind leaving her. Yuki can sometimes feel intimidated around larger dogs, so I really appreciated that Michael only takes one client at a time. It made a big difference in her comfort and well-being. I highly recommend Michael—he truly loves dogs and it shows in the way he cares for them.
My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!
Ebony did an amazing job taking care of my little Coco! She was so kind, attentive, and made sure Coco was happy and comfortable the entire time. I could tell Coco absolutely loves her. I booked again for the second time, and Coco was so excited to see her. She responds so quickly, which made communication super easy and stress-free. I really appreciate the updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Adam and Maria were amazing with my dog over the weekend! They were so attentive, made sure he felt comfortable, and kept me updated the whole time I was away. I could tell he was in great hands and getting lots of love. I’d happily have them watch him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters.
Michelle was an absolutely fantastic sitter! I had to book her last minute and we were still able to do a meet and greet prior to the boarding. Michelle made sure my dog was taken on plenty of walks. Updated me with pictures and messages and my dog had a great time with her. I will be using her services again!
Brianna didn’t turn Huncho away when I told her he was sick. She cared for Huncho made sure he took his medication and kept him active. Kept me posted on Huncho progress and sent pictures. I recommend her and will be using her boarding services again in November 2025. Juan from Germantown, MD Boarding 7/31 to 8/5/25
Sara was outstanding with Grace and very good prompt with communicating. We felt very comfortable leaving Grace with her when we were out of the country. She also arranged for her husband to drop off Grace at the end of the stay which was initially unplanned. Thanks to Sara and family.
