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.

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.

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 !

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! :)

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.

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.

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.
