“I have found my Schnoodle’s caregiver in Kimberly!!! Rosie was well taken care of and I’d get daily updates and photos from Kimberly! I was at peace knowing Rosie was in great human company and spent time with the resident house pets (a cat lol and three other K9s)! I highly recommend Kim!!!”
“Zhian has watched Bowie several times now and is always fantastic. Lots of pictures, great communication, and most of all when he comes back he always seems like he's had a great time. Thanks as always Zhian!”
“Maggie is a wonderful person and an amazing dog sitter! I got so many pictures throughout my Maya's stay that I could tell for certain that she was happy and being well cared for, all of which gave me the peace of mind we all need to have when we are away from our fur babies. If I need to leave Maya again for a few days, I'll definitely take it to Maggie's, a wonderful place for furry friends :) .”
“Highly recommend Cheyanne! She really loved and cuddled with Rosie the whole visit. She took any fear I had about dog sitting away. She also texted pictures and up to date details on how she was doing. Will use her again if in the area!”
“It was so easy boarding my cat with Ting! She sent many pictures and updates of my cat, and it made me feel at ease knowing that my cat was happy while I was out of town. My cat is usually pretty shy when it comes to new people, but he was so comfortable that he even slept in the same bed as Ting! I would definitely board with Ting again.”
“Lisa is Amazing! She is a true dog lover. So patient and kind to my pup, Jo. She really took the time to get to know him and held space for his puppy energy. I’m very grateful to have found such loving care for my Jo.”
“Tony has watched our huge, disabled pup many times now. Every time has been an absolute joy. Kaiju is always happy when we pick him up, and Tony always keeps us updated and is always very communicative. Highly recommend.”
“Finn had a blast with Mary and got to go on all sorts of adventures. Mary was communicative and thorough, two things that bring peace of mind when leaving my Finny boy for a long trip.”
“Ashley was great and very communicative! I felt comfortable leaving my pups for a whole week with her because of her communication and professionalism. Will book again!”
“Ashley is the best! This is our second time leaving our little fur baby with Ashley. She took care of Hope like her own. She responded promptly and accomodated our requests for Hope with such kindness. My husband and I were at ease leaving her behind with someone who is caring and loving. Hope hanging with Carter is always a plus! Thanks Ashley!”
“Sien was so amazing during my dogs short stay! He had an upset stomach that she made a special meal to help soothe him with is just above and beyond care. He came back happy and excited and not anxious at all!!”
“I could tell from the pictures and correspondence that my dog felt right at home and Natalie understood him well. He came home happy and relaxed, as did we from our vacation. Thank you, Natalie!”
“Emily Jumped in at the last minute when my previously booked sitter ran into complications. Chloe had a great time, ate all her food and came home relaxed and tired. Location and area parks are an assett for Emily's services. Thank you and I hope to book again soon.”
“Valerie and Juniper were the absolute sweetest. Valerie provided great communication and flexibility during Pee Wee’s stay. Pee wee had a great time hanging with the other pals, exploring outside, and getting cuddles. 10/10 recommend!”
“Kegan was truly the BEST! We loved getting videos, photos and daily updates of our little guy while we were gone. Our dog takes 3 pills a day so it can be nevre-racking when we're out of town but Kegan took great care of him ensuring lots of fetch, belly scratches and brushing! We're so grateful we found Kegan!”
Gateway dog parents share their Rover experiences
Danielle was absolutely amazing! She helped me out when I really needed someone and responded super quickly, which I truly appreciated. She was incredible with Ebba — attentive, caring, and clearly someone who loves dogs. Ebba was happy and well cared for, and Danielle even went the extra mile by leaving us a little doggy goody bag, which was such a thoughtful touch. I couldn’t recommend her more and would 100% book with her again!
Thank you so much to Susan and her family for taking such wonderful care of Miley for six days. She had a great time and was clearly loved and well cared for. Susan kept me updated throughout the stay and sent me pictures, which meant so much to me—especially since this was the first time I ever left my baby. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such amazing hands. This definitely won’t be the last time. Highly recommend this amazing family!
Dakshayani and her husband took such good care of our dog Parker for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. We received regular photos and updates and they all seemed to have a great time together, including with their own pup. 🐶 We would definitely use them again and Parker will be very happy to return!
Natalie was great with my dog, always have a positive report every time I check Beau while I’m away and gets along well with her dog. She surprised me with print outs of Beau’s snapshots during the stay and my dog seems happy when I picked him up and stayed clean. Thank you Natalie.
Ashlee was very nice and friendly! I like how she was responsive the entire time and would update us daily with pictures of our chihuahua. Our dog is 16 years old and is normally shy with other people but he really opened up to her and didn’t want to leave her side which was amazing!
Abigail was incredible! Firstly, she was a true lifesaver, taking Freddie in over the holidays at the last minute when my other plans fell through. She was also very communicative about Freddie’s status and so attentive to his needs during his stay. I truly cannot recommend her enough. Abigail, we are so so grateful to you!! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Freddie!!
