“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”

“Felix was amazing with our baby Lola while we were away. He sent us frequent updates and pictures, which made us feel completely at ease during our vacation. It was clear that Lola was loved and well taken care of. We’re so grateful for Felix and would absolutely trust him again.”

“Ru was amazing! She didn't hesitate to agree to board my three month old Frenchie, and was super accommodating about last minute changes when we had a huge snag in our trip. Thanks for everything!”


“Donna was great with dog sitting piper. We were out of state for about a week, but we were happy to know that Piper was having fun with the other dogs she was watching. She was sure to set up a meet and greet before hand as well so we knew it was a good fit.”

“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”

“couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !”

“Our experience with Sarah was great! This was our first time using Rover and Sarah was very accommodating. She invited us for a meet and greet before our pup’s stay, was very responsive and offered updates on how he was doing. She made us feel very comfortable and we knew our dog was in great hands.”

“Ashley did an amazing job with our dog. She was so patient and kind. Our dog had a hard first day away from us and she was patient with him while he adjusted. She kept us updated on his successes and areas where he struggled (which is great so we know areas to work on). I highly recommend Ashley! :)”

“Winston loved his stay with Renee. She provided updates throughout out his stay and kept him busy with walks and trips to the park. She clearly has a love of dogs and is great at caring for them. Highly recommend.”

“Breanna was wonderful with our nervous pup, Ozzie! She let us do a meet and greet before his first full visit, which helped him adjust better! She sent updates with pictures, which we loved :) She’s a great sitter for your pups!”

“Megan is great with our dogs and our dogs love their time there. She never fails to give us twice daily updates and takes THE BEST photos of our dogs (I have several I want to frame). She is attentive to their needs and always reaches out if there are any concerns. We have had Megan board our dogs twice now and we will continue to book with her so long as she is on Rover.”

“Jacob took excellent care of Kumi while I was away. She got plenty of exercise, friends to play with, and treats. I received regular updates accompanied with photos and video that put me at ease. She was boarded for 3 weeks and I would completely trust Jacob with her care again.”

“Christina was great with our dog Asher! She was great at communicating and sent pictures of him to us while we were on vacation and showed us how he was loving spending time with their dog. They even sent us home with a new dog toy for Asher and he loves it. Thanks for helping us out! We will definitely request to book with them again.”

“Jenn was great! I had a little emergency and She was able to board Ella the same night that I requested. She sent me pictures of Ella both days. Ella seemed happy when I picked her up. I would definitely board Ella with her again.”

“Tatyana was AMAZING!! We are first time Rover users. We were from out of town, leaving our “girls” with a stranger. She talked with me before our drop off day. She sent so many great pictures during their stay! The reassurance, that they were in great hands, was beyond measure. She is 2.5 hours from us, but if we go on a vacation - I’m taking them there!! I’m so grateful to have found her, I’m so grateful she took such care of my dogs.”

“Connie was great. We were able to to a meet and greet beforehand and that made me feel at ease. She was in contact with me throughout the week and gave me updates on Marco. And for a bonus her little guy is so cute ?”
“Leeann took such great care of my girls! I loved the picture updates and attention she gave my little old ladies. She was great with the meds and special needs of my older lady. Very attentive and kind. I felt they were in excellent hands while I was away!”

“My dog, Maddie, stayed with Dan for 2 days/1 night. She was happy and tired when I picked her up at the end of her stay! Dan and his wife took very good care of her and treated her like part of the family. Dan is very responsive and helpful with answering questions and he sent plenty of pictures and videos with updates on how she was doing.”

We used Hannah for an overnight stay for our dog Willow. She was welcoming and made our dog comfortable right away, and sent some photos to update us on how she was doing. Willow was happy when we got her the next day. I would definitely recommend her to friends, and hope to use her again in the future.

Pam and her menagerie of friendly dogs and cats certainly made Nola feel right at home. It was great to have a constant stream of photos of Nola while we were away. Nola has returned home healthy and in good spirits. Thank you Pam for all the cuddles and good care.

Paige is the BEST! She took magnificent care of our bulldog, Darla who requires a lot of attention and lovies. Paige sent daily reports, funny anecdotes about Darla’s and sweet pics of our pudgy princess. She’s also very attentive and gives expertise in her care. I would highly recommend her and hope to book her again. Thank you so much, Paige!
