“We just discovered Rover and have been more than happy with our overall experience. Francis was very caring and attentive to Gunther. We received pictures of him enjoying his time and picked up a happy and relaxed dog after our 8 day vacation. ”
“I adore Vicki and her hubby. They both show a lot of love for canine critters and take such good care of them. They have a great backyard for the dogs to explore, and I never worry one bit about my dog!”
“Dani and her husband provided Bella with lots of fun activity and care while I was away for a birthday trip! I highly recommend Dani for others in the future. Thanks for making Bella feel comfortable away from home! Kathy”
“Kelly was great with our little one, she frequently reached out to us with photos and videos, assuring us that she had settled into a routine and was comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kelly again. Thanks Kelly 🙏”
“Tobi's help for my last minute request over a holiday weekend was instrumental for me to take a few days away. My Yorkie was well taken care and got asking well in her home.”
“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we could rave on and on about Luisa. We used her while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very communicative, friendly, sent us tons of pictures and videos and treated our dog Stitch like one of her own including taking her to the park. When we picked Stitch up she gave us some key emergency docs that are recommended to have (she's pet CPR certified) and then she checked in with us later to make sure Stitch was adjusting back home ok. She is a natural pet lover and a wonderful person. Definitely found Stitch's new home away from home!”
“Met Amanda, Jeff, and Yoda.. All 3 were super friendly, and took excellent care of my 1.5yo Catahoula (Zara) while I was out of town for 2 days. My pup may have even had too much fun.. She was moping around the rest of the night after I picked her up.. I think she was missing all of them ! If the need ever arose again, I would not hesitate to contact Amanda and Jeff. TYVM !”
“Floki absolutely loves staying with Andrea! The biggest sign is that when we pull into her driveway, he runs straight to the door with excitement. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and well cared for while I’m away. She recently watched him for the weekend, and I know he was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Heather gave really good care to my shy and elderly dog. She made him comfortable and cozy. She texted me every day and always included a few pictures. A comfy home with a nice size yard.”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“We have an energetic husky girl. It difficult to trust anyone to watch her. Bailey and Kyle were great! Frequent updates were appreciated. Roslyn came home so tired and happy! We will use them in the future and recommend them to others! Thanks again!”
“Bowie had a wonderful time with Angela, Craig, Jade, and Ellie too. They are a warm and welcoming family, who were very responsive while I was away for the week. I could tell Bowie enjoyed his stay. I will definitely be rebooking care with them. Thanks to the whole family for taking such good care of Bowie!”
“Morgan was fantastic! Beau stayed with her for two nights and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Very good communication and attention to detail. We would love for Beau to stay with her in the future!”
“Maria is such a caring human and our dog is not only excited to arrive to her home but also so well adjusted when we pick her up that we know she's had a great time.”

Shannon was amazing! What a great person & dog sitter. My older dog Stella is relaxed but has a few habits, and I’m always a little particular with who she stays with in general. From the moment we met, I know she’d be in safe hands & Shannon often sent updates/photos. I could tell she was cared for as if she was their dog! Thank you Shannon & your lovely family for providing Stella a safe, loving home 🧡🐶
Jerry was awesome and very communicative. Sending pics of my pup and providing updates throughout Vinny’s time with him. I had to book kind of last second and Jerry was very accommodating. Thanks again Jerry, will let you know if we need help when we’re back in town again.
We have a terrier who is 100 percent terrier — reactive, completely unhinged around anyone he doesn’t know, and quick to sound the alarm at other dogs or anything even slightly unusual in his environment. He’s only ever stayed with family, so we were genuinely nervous about how he’d handle being in a new home. From the meet‑and‑greet on, Janis was calm, patient, and completely unfazed by his quirks. She understood him right away. Both she and her husband were quick to understand his personality and sent updates that really showed they “got” him — not just surface‑level check‑ins, but thoughtful little details that made it clear they were paying attention to who he is and what he needs. Once he was with them, it truly felt like Fozzie was welcomed as a member of the family. That level of warmth made such a difference for a dog who struggles with new environments. They have a wonderful yard and even a dog door that Fozzie figured out how to use — something we honestly didn’t expect from a dog who usually needs time to adjust. It was clear he felt comfortable and safe with them. They also had everything he needed on hand, including a maze feeder bowl for our super‑fast eater, which showed how prepared and thoughtful they are with all kinds of dogs. Janis made a situation we were anxious about feel easy and safe. We’re really grateful for how well they handled him.
