“Excellent! This was our first time leaving our dog and we felt confident that he would be safe well cared for, and he was. He had so much fun and practically slept for two days after we got home. Frances obviously loves the dogs in her care and she is so easygoing and flexible. 100% would leave our dog in her care again.”
“Vicki was wonderful! My dog Bob had a wonderful time with her and Jeff and, of course, their two dogs. I am sure he especially enjoyed having a backyard again to roam in and explore. I recommend her enthusiastically!”
“I have boarded my 3 dogs with Amanda twice now, and both times they were very well taken care of. I loved getting picture updates from Amanda at the end of each day. Really gave me peace of mind to know my dogs were in a good home and having a good time with the other dogs there. I look forward to boarding my dogs with Amanda again and would not hesitate to refer a friend! Thanks Amanda!!”
“Took fantastic care of Mimi! Mimi can be an anxious dog but she warmed up to Kelly real quick🩷. The frequent updates kept us reassured during our trip that she is in great hands.”
“Dani was great. It is never easy leaving your dog somewhere new, and Dani made us feel very comfortable with doing that. We will definitely use her in the future. Thanks for taking care of Bailey!!”
“Kristin took my booking at the last minute and made time to come meet us before hand. She also went out of her way to pick up and drop off our dog which is NOT something she typically offers. It was a huge relief to find help for a very senior dog at the last minute.”
“We had an amazing experience with Miranda and her family! Our dog was so well cared for, and they took the time that was necessary to let her adjust slowly. We have already rebooked for a trip planned later in the year! Excellent experience!”
“We had a great experience with Luisa watching our poodle just shy of a week. She was fast to respond to my inquiry about watching our dog and scheduling a meet and greet. We received pictures everyday and even a video of our dog while she stayed with Luisa. Talking with Luisa at the meet and greet I could tell she genuinely loves taking care of the animals that come to stay her and her family. It really put our minds at ease while we were away. I will definitely reach out to Luisa for our future travel plans.”
“Andrea is a fantastic sitter! She had Fancy for a few days, and our little old lady pup was so happy with her! We really appreciated how communicative Andrea was with us and how attentive and doting she was with Fancy. I would not hesitate to leave our dog with Andrea again, no doubt. She clearly loves animals and really goes out of her way to make sure they’re comfortable and looked after”
“Bailey & Kyle took good care of our puppy. We started with a day long visit, then scheduled an overnight stay and graduated to a week long stay. She stays busy playing and comes home happy and tired.”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job caring for our four kittens! She was extremely communicative, giving us regular updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, gentle, and very attentive to each kitten’s needs. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for in her hands. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her to care for our pets again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Craig and Angela were perfect host for Leo, my high energy Australian Shepherd. Leo enjoyed playing with Craig & Angela's Golden Retriever, Ellie, in their fully fenced back yard. I would not hesitate to board him again with them. Thanks Craig and Angela!!”
“The second I dropped Eddie off I felt comfortable going on my trip. You can tell Heather has a love for animals. Eddie is currently a very energetic puppy which can be a burden on some but Heather handled it was grace. When I picked up Eddie you could just tell he was one happy boy from him stay! Thank you, Heather!”
“Amazing experience! Danielle was extremely responsive and sent images every day. Sif looked happy and came back very energetic. A great sitter and the whole family seemed to treat him as one of their own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Will definitely book Danielle again.”
“Jennifer was such a great host for my doggies. She made my first time with rover worth while and would love to book with her again for any vacations. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable of labs (I’m sure all other dogs). Since my dogs are young they could be a handful and with her experience she was able to do some training during their stay. I highly recommend her to first time rover users or just anyone looking for a skilled host with great professionalism and communication skills.”
“Morgan was amazing with penny! She was able to help us out last minute when our other boarder canceled. I highly recommend her to anyone needed boarding or dog care needs! Very clean house and professional to work with!”
“Fabulous Sitter. Attentive, capable, thorough, accommodating, and responsive, Drew has taken excellent care on 3 extended stays with Betty. There's a fourth stay in several weeks.”

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.
