“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“From the very first inquiry, Kevin was responsive, professional, and very accommodating. Kevin and Annie stepped in on incredibly short notice and completely saved the day. They asked all the right questions about Marlie's routine. When we dropped her off, it was clear Kevin and Annie had already gone out of their way to make our pup feel comfortable. We forgot to bring Marlie's treats but Kevin and Annie were well stocked with her favorite treats waiting. Throughout the stay, the updates were great with daily photos that showed Marlie was not just being cared for, but truly enjoying herself. She came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised.”
“Heidi was a wonderful host for our pup while we were away for 1 week for a wedding! She kept us updated several times daily with how he was doing coupled with videos and pictures. She went out of her way to care for him, and I would highly recommend Heidi for anyone leaving their pup! Thanks again Heidi! You rock”
“Daniella is the best!!!!! She’s so flexible and easygoing, has excellent communication, and she was so sweet and awesome with our elderly dog, Olive. Absolutely will be booking her again!!!”
“Janice did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Ginger who is older and has anxiety. I had never left Ginger with anyone except family so I was a little apprehensive leaving her with someone she wasn’t too familiar with. Janice took care of all her needs, including her medication, and gave her lots of love and attention. Ginger felt right at home. I highly recommend Janice!”
“Our dog Ollie had a wonderful overnight visit with Julie! Ollie loved having a pal, Julie’s dog Amber, to play with. Amber is the happiest pup I’ve ever met. Ollie loved Julie’s big fenced in yard and her great screened porch. Julie took wonderful care of our precious pup. I highly recommend Julie for your pup care needs. Thank you Julie!!! 🐶🩵”
“Joseph was absolutely amazing! Bentley is my Service animal and this was my first time using the app other than being a dog walker myself. I loved how he accommodated my pup and treated him just as well as his own. He is by far better deserving than 5 stars! I will always book Joseph in Rover or any Dog sitting app as he continues to show excellent customer service. I would highly recommend anyone with a puppy or any dog to use him, he’s experienced with different breeds and animals whether they are shy or absolutely wild. Thank you so much for giving me ease of mind on my vacation. He watch Bentley 8 days and my pup came home happy and healthy! Thank you so much!”
“Nola and Damian were amazing! They took us last minute for my two young high energy pups. Communication was prompt and professional. My boys came home happy and well cared for, and I would happily book with Nola & Damian again!”
“Hemily was great. She sent pictures daily and let us know how our dog was doing. She said our dog was amazing and just a love. Our dog was very happy staying with Hemily and we would recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Dennis took great care of my two dogs. They obviously had a wonderful time playing, going on nice walks, and being welcomed to his family: his daughters were superb with my pups as well. In addition, Dennis was also very proactive in getting in touch with me and easy to communicate. Excellent care and experience!”
“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”
“My two doggies had a great time with Zach. My 10 year old boxer gets medicine twice a day and he was able to accommodate that for her. I got pictures of the babies playing through out the day. They slept the whole next day because they were wore out from all the playing with their new friends so I know they had a good time. Definitely recommend.”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Leo and Nala! From the very beginning, she was so intentional during our meet and greet and took the time to really get to know both of them, their personalities, and what they needed before we even handed them over to her. That meant so much to us and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Throughout their stay, Natalie sent plenty of updates and kept me in the loop, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of, and she is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. We truly have nothing but great things to say about Natalie. Leo and Nala were so well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. We will absolutely be rebooking with her!”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Hi my Milo had a great time with Natalie. She was sweet and caring and booked us last minute when we really needed it! I would reach out to Natalie again any time! Thank you Natalie you were awesome!”
“We are so thankful to Gabriel! He cared for our pup, Hugo, last minute over a holiday weekend. He was patient and kind, since Hugo takes a day to feel comfortable with new people. He also sent updates and photos. We will definitely be hiring him again!”
“Lucia is amazing! She is so kind, and caring with Leroy, he absolutely loves getting to stay with her. She also sends the sweetest pictures. It is definitely a vacation for Leroy, and he never wants to leave his “girlfriend”! We drive Leroy 45 minutes to have Lucia watch him, because she is the best!”
“Katia did a great job with the pups, provided good communication, and pictures. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a caring dogsitter and would trust her to watch our dogs in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Halifax
We couldn’t be happier with Leo’s care last week. We felt completely confident that he was safe and well taken care of the entire time. We loved the daily updates… it gave us so much peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy our trip stress-free since it was our first time leaving him for that long! We were especially grateful that they even did some training with him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!
