I gave a 5 star review, solely, based on how our baby hollered with his mouth wide open when it was time to go. We have never heard him wail like this ever before. He truly enjoyed himself. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby. He is still catching up on rest the following day. He was worn slap out! ❤️✅🎉

Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!

This was our first time using this service and we actually lucked up and got someone that was a perfect fit for our Pup Tucker. She was super responsive and prompt. We could tell she was great with animals.

I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.

David and his wife are the best! Upon meeting them we knew our dogs would be treated like family with them. We were gone for an entire week and left both dogs with David and knew they were there n good hands. I got pictures of them on the couch being spoiled all week long. Our pups are worn out, thanks David!

Ray want amazing. He accepted a last minute request with no hesitation and saved the day. I felt like Zeus was in great hands. It was a hot day, he kept him cool indoors and made sure he was comfortable. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Ray was very attentive to messages that I sent. Communication was very prompt. Would book again if ever needed.

Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!

Brittney’s yard is great for the dogs to run and explore. She also provides daily pictures and comments. We had so much peace of mind versus Elle being boarded in a kennel.

Jordyn is the best. She gave us daily updates and was awesome with communication. In the past I took my dogs to a local dog boarding/daycare place and the dogs always seemed a little frazzled and anxious when I picked them up, but with Jordyn they were very happy and relaxed when they came back home and clearly well taken care of. I’ll be reaching out to her again for future bookings and highly recommend her to anyone.

Ann-Marie was wonderful!!! We had never heard of Rover before. Our dog had only stayed with our parents for a couple of nights. We were a little nervous at first but from the time we dropped him off we knew this would be a great thing. Our dog got to play with other dogs, run around in a yard, and have a vacay himself. Ann-Marie sent us daily updates and pictures of how he was doing which helped ease my mind. She even helped carry his crate and things to my Jeep when I picked him up. We will definitely be using her again!
