“Bill, Mary and Ashley were responsive, kind, and took great care of our puppy! We were a bit nervous initially as it was our first time leaving him overnight, but we had peace of mind once we met them and saw the great setup. We loved getting happy update photos of him playing and cuddling throughout the trip.”
“Emily took wonderful care of Aria - I've never seen her more comfortable and relaxed at someone else's house! Received plenty of pictures and updates, was so happy to see that she felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using Emily again.”
“Loni was incredible! She was so friendly, quick to respond, so good to my dog, sent me updates and pictures. Her dogs are very friendly and well trained as well. I could not be more happy with the expedience. Thank you, Loni and family!!”
“Gary and Heather were amazing with our Corgi, Riley! I could tell by the daily pictures they sent that she was comfortable and loved while in their care. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Sally was an amazing and very knowledgeable sitter for blue! Even after I had some horrendous travel delays she was super understanding and helpful. Blue truly couldn’t have been in a better home while I was away, I do not have enough good things to say, we will be back!”
“Emily & Nicholas were absolutely wonderful and I would most definitely leave Bruno with them again! Bruno had such a great time and all the pictures that they sent proved it! They treated Bruno like family during his stay and he received all the cuddles and love from all members of their family..... and lots and lots of playtime! He slept for 2 days after we picked him up :) Thank you for taking great care of Bruno Emily and Nicholas!”
“Pam loved her stay with Kayleigh and I got lots of pictures from the weekend, which made me feel better about leaving her! She made sure to make Pam feel comfortable and we will be looking to book with Kayleigh in the future again ?”
“Abby & Stephen did an amazing job with our energetic golden! My husband & I were thrilled to meet his new playmate, Winnie too! What a treat! We received pics & updates during his stay and felt so at ease the entire time! We brought home a very happy + tired pup! Highly recommend!”
“She and her daughter took great care of our pup. He loved them and seems to have had a great time on vacation from his parents. They took him on lots of walks, played with his favorite toys and gave him lots of love. Thank you so much for being a wonderful sitter to Prince.”
“We were totally satisfied with our experience with Leslie and the Rover website. Leslie was more than knowledgeable about pet care and safety. Her Golden is a true sweetheart that would get alone with any dog. She has a nice fenced backyard with plenty of room to play. She sent us daily pics that eased our minds immensely knowing our two were enjoying themselves. We will definitely be using Leslie in the future and are thankful we found her and her services. Two thumbs up!!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“My dogs had another incredible stay with Rita and Brian. I feel so comfortable leaving my pups with them and feel like they’re on a vacation of their own. They have so much fun all day and they make sure there is nap and snack time, too. My nervous dogs are so comfortable with them and I receive wonderful and thorough updates and photos each day. Communication is excellent and I know my dogs are in great hands.”
“John and Shannon were absolutely wonderful with our pup, Leo! From the moment we dropped him off, they kept us updated with sweet pictures, thoughtful messages, and stories from his walks. It was so clear he was happy, loved, and well cared for, we couldn’t have asked for kinder, more attentive sitters. Highly recommend! Leo can’t wait to come back!”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“I don’t even have words! Kelsey and her family are absolutely amazing! We’ve used several Rover sitters and no one even compares to this family. Tucker suffers from separation anxiety and you wouldn’t know it when he’s with their family. Kelsey is the sweetest and her husband is great also. They were patient and so sweet during our meet and greet. Thank you so much Kelsey and Family!! ❤️”
“Scott was so wonderful with my kitty, Chester. He took such good care of him! I received daily pictures and updates. He was also very communicative and worked with me on a little later pick up time. Thank you Scott!!”
“We are so glad we found Jessika. Dexter absolutely fell in love with her. She was fun to talk to and kept us up to date on how things were going. We will definitely be getting in touch with her the next time we need a place for Dexter.”
