“Kristina did great with our very energetic pup! We were pleased with her care. Kristins entire family met us and responded well to having Coco. She sent us pictures throughout the week of all the fun Coco was having. We will definitely use Kristin if she's available for future trips!”

“Jennifer kept us up-to-date with photos and video of our Buttercup. Buttercup had never been with other dogs before and she apparently had unlimited energy with Jennifer's dogs and her. When she got home, she slept until 2:00 p.m. the next day. She was worn out -- so you know she had a great time!!”

“I am an admitted helicopter fur Mom as my sweet Murphy, just 5 weeks after his passing, is how I came through losing my husband of 29 years. She also has seizures and allergy issues. It was time for a vacation though and Corey was my choice based on other previous ROVER reviews. He took her medications in stride as well as her 2x a week allergy shots. His backyard is spacious and he knows how to work with dogs. He sent pictures a plenty. Although I was apprehensive leaving her for 2 weeks, I could tell Murphy was having a great time. I plan to use Corey again for some conference trips this Fall.”

“Second time to use Natalie, and we were not disappointed! She and her family were very caring and treated my dog as if he were part of their family. He came home tired and I believe a little disappointed that the fun had to end. We will definitely return!”
“Chauncey & Margeaux loved their time with Michelle. She is so caring and was very accommodating with Chauncey’s medicine schedule. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Ray & Sherry were great! Quick to respond to questions, courteous and welcoming and their home is set up great for dogs. Lots of pictures and updates too! Highly recommended!”


“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! My Goldendoodle Ellie stayed with Terwrin for a week. I was so nervous about leaving her for the first time with anyone, but I was totally put at ease with communication and photos! Ellie LOVED being in her home and fell in love with her family. I highly recommend, and will being using her again. She was 100% a blessing to me!”

“Maria did a wonderful job of caring for our dog Sadie for 10 days! This was our first time boarding our pup, and Maria made us feel very comfortable and confident that she was in good hands. Every day Maria sent us updates and pictures/videos of her. Maria really seemed to treat her like one of her own. She also has a beautiful fenced in yard. We will definitely have Maria watch her again. We highly recommend her!”

About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision.” “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”
“Peggy was great with Peter, our cat. He is very shy and by the end of his stay, he was rolling around like he does at home and allowing her to brush him. He was very quick to become calm/happy during his stay, and I know it was due to her kindness and patience with him. She also was very communicative with me, and would send me lots of pictures of Peter! I would book with her again 100%!”

“We are so lucky to have found Melanie and her family to watch our fur baby. Multiple pictures and updates put me at ease throughout the stay and made me confident that Wallace was being well cared for and loved. Thank you for keeping my Wallace safe and happy! We also sincerely appreciate your flexibility with pick ups and drop offs and for even taking Wallace super last minute for an overnight stay. We are so grateful!”
“Belinda was wonderful! She checked in with me daily to let me know how my pup was doing and would send pics too. My pup was happy and healthy when we got her back. It means so much to have someone that cares keep our little girl while we are out of town. ❤️”

“The entire experience from scheduling the doggie sleepover to pickup was fantastic!! At drop off Celeste and her husband were welcoming to both myself and my dog Eddie. Soon after drop off I received pictures of Eddie playfully Interacting with their two dogs. Later I received pictures and video of Eddie lounges in the living room. The pictures really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend away, knowing Eddie was in great hands!!”

“Michael was incredibly accommodating and helpful to our family with a last minute request to board. He was welcoming to our dog (as were his own sweet pooches) and his house has a terrific set up for pets. Highly recommend and thank you!!!”

“Morgan helped us out on short notice with the care of our golden retriever. Drop off and pick up was truly a pleasure, Morgan has a wonderful personality! We look forward to booking her again.”
