âJacob did a fantastic job with boarding both our dogs. He was communicative, friendly and flexible. He provided regular updates throughout the day and assuaged any concerns I might have had. 5 stars.â
âThis was my first time to use Rover.com for finding a local pet sitter to take care of my two dogs. I chose Terwin due to all of her positive reviews. I was most pleased for the care she gave my dogs while I was away from home. I received photos of my dogs while under her care which helped to ease the anxiety of wondering how my dogs were adapting. I highly recommend Terwin and I certainly will use her service again!â
âKenneth watched our pup, Onyx, in his home for 1 week. Kenneth was absolutely wonderful to work with! He took wonderful care of Onyxâ so much so that we werenât sure if Onyx would want to come home! Kenneth communicated with us frequently, sent photos and put our minds at ease while traveling! We canât wait to work with Kenneth in the future!â
âOur 7 pound Yorky had a blast over the weekend. Was as if you were their own and I didnât worry about him one time. I intend to lean on Lindsay again in the future when I need someone to watch tux! Go ahead and book her. She is so sweet and so is her family. Sheâll take excellent care of your pup.â
âAnother great stay with Tammy. We are truly grateful to have found Tammy and Casey to take care of Luna. They truly treat her as their own and she loves being there. Thank you again for always taking such great care of my girl:)â
âWe could not have asked for a better dog sitter! She checked in every morning and evening, sent us the sweetest photo updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy and well cared for while we were on vacation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and amazing with pets!â
âWe used Jana while we were in town for a wedding. She was great with our pup and did an awesome job of updating us on how he was doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again next time we visit!â

âWe traveled from MN to vacation in Gulf Shores, AL. This was our first time using Rover. He has a wonderful yard/set up. We felt confident in leaving our Chocolate Lab with Corey for 5 nights.
