“This was Kodi's first stay with Mitzi and Klifton K. Based on a great reference from personal friends, we were so happy that Kodi had a chance to join their pack over the weekend and continue learning all the great ways to be a part of a playful pack. She was a rescue off the streets in NM, and is learning such positive ways to become a great dog. Mitzi & Klifton are top pro dog folks who have created a robust and safe environment for the pups. Loved getting daily reports and photos of pack play, and the hard copy photo of Kodi as a visual gift of her weekend there was a bonus. Expanding Kodi's dog care options with them was a success. Thanks so much!”
“Oberon had the best time with Jessica and Teryn! I appreciate how easy it was to set up a meet and greet, and they made drop off and pickup a breeze. I could see from their daily updates that he spent a lot of time doing his favorite things (laying on his bed in the sun), and even attempted some playing! Thanks again for taking such great care of my pup.”
“Delane is awesome! I have a feeling she may love my dog as much as I do and that is really satisfying to know he’s in great hands and that I have nothing to worry about!”
“Odin came home with huge smiles from his week with Steve and his family. Wr received photos and updates. He got daily walks and lots of cuddles. It is such a relief to know that while we are far away on a vacation our teddy bear of a dog was in such good hands and getting lots of love. Highly recommend Steve and his family for any dog sitting needs. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Sehwa and Adam were truly a dream find! This was the first time we left our girl with someone outside of family and we were quite nervous about it, but they truly treated her like one of THEIR family and our concern quickly melted away. We got great updates every day with the funnest pictures attached. Knowing that Addie was being taken such good care of, allowed us to enjoy our family vacation even more without the stress or worry of if she is happy herself 🩷”
“Brittany was fantastic with Tully! She took great care of him, made sure he got plenty of exercise with hikes, and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout his stay. She was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly, which gave us peace of mind. Tully also got along great with her dog, Bobby, and it was wonderful knowing he had a buddy to play with. We’re so happy we found Brittany and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lynn and John are amazing! They not only last minute bailed us out when snow changed our plans but Lynn was awesome about sending plenty of pictures and communication about our girl. And Pippa came home bragging about what a fun time she had! Cannot recommend enough!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with Renee and her family. I appreciated Renee’s quick responses and willingness to adapt to Zoe’s quirks. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Brianna was wonderful with my Boston Terrier. I had a business trip last minute and family could not watch my man. I was nervous about leaving him with someone I had only just met. However, worries quickly went away as I got my first batch of pictures, showing him right at home and snuggling. I was gone for (5) days, and my dog loved his stay. I would definitely use Bri again.”
“This was our 3rd stay with Nicole, Craig, and family. This stay was different for us in that we were out of the country for almost two weeks! I was certainly uneasy leaving my precious pups for so long, but I am so thankful and grateful for Nicole, Craig, and their boys. They treat our two Shiba Inus as party of the family, as if they were there own. Everything went swimmingly, which allowed my husband to really enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our pups. Thank you so much Nicole and Craig! We'll see you again soon!”
“Bella had a great time at Jen’s! Jen did a great job w daily updates and pics. It was so nice to not have to worry about Bella while we were gone knowing she was well taken care of. I also really appreciated Jen’s flexibility with scheduling bc of a last minute flight change.”
“Jan and joe were awesome with my dog Roxie!! Roxie feels like she has new grandparents. They sent pictures and videos and Roxie always looked really happy! She came back happy and healthy! I would definitely recommend and use them again in the future!”
“Sami & Joel were wonderful with our two dogs! Their home and backyard were very dog friendly and I know that our furbabies enjoyed the time they spent in their home while we were away. Both came home so very tuckered out! Sami and Joel were very responsively and sent lots of pictures which helped put our minds at ease while we were out of the country for the holiday. Highly recommend.”
“I wish there were more than 5 stars! Our Bailey had a great time with Danielle and family! She kept me updated often and tons of pictures. Bailey boy was so happy. I am grateful that we found Danielle, it’s so much more than just safe care… it was love! Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful watching our dog Zoey when we were on vacation. She sent pictures everyday and made her stay fantastic. We will be using Jennifer again since she was so wonderful!”
“Irina was wonderful! Communication was excellent, she was flexible on schedules, and Otto looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future, our little guy was very well taken care of.”
“Daphne is excellent! She has watched my pups a few times now and always gives me so much peace of mind. We were traveling abroad for close to two weeks and there's really no one else I would trust more while being away so long. She communicates so well, send lots of cute pics, and makes sure the dogs are happy and healthy along with her own dog Oliver. I highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
Ryan exceeded all of our expectations! This was the first time we booked through Rover and was impressed with our experience from start to finish. He was timely with his initial booking communication and prompt with his arrival time. From the beginning, our three pups were at ease with him. He sent numerous pictures and updates to us throughout the evening, which helped me see how much they were enjoying Ryan’s company. As out of town guests, he made some accommodations for us that made it easy for our pups to feel right at home. You would be so lucky to book Ryan for your next adventure or short evening away. Highly recommend!
Blake is amazing! She took care of our dog, Tucker, for a few days, and it was a great experience. She made sure he had plenty of playtime and walks. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend her. Thanks so much, Blake! 😊
Jay was an exceptional sitter. The perfect amount of updates, communication, and incredible care of our dog while we were out of the country. Truly treated our pup like he was their own and part of the family! We felt so lucky to have our dog watched by them, and can’t wait to use Jay again!
My pet care fell through while I was out of town, but Jaden was incredibly accommodating and took amazing care of my pups. He was communicative, provided regular updates, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. I really appreciated his flexibility, kindness, and extra support during a stressful situation. Highly recommend!
Maren was excellent! She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and could tell he was well loved and cared for. Highly recommend Maren — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Golden home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Golden.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
