“Alisha and Cameron took such great care of our dog Bear! He was so happy at their house. They provided lots of updates and pictures. I know he got lots of love. They have been our favorite Rover family to date!”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”
“Amy was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. We received multiple pictures while we were away and did not worry at all that our dog was both being cared for but also having fun. As a bonus, our dog was exhausted from playing when he got home and slept the entire day after his stay.”
“Talishia was amazing. Not only was she super accommodating and flexible as this was a less than 24 hour need/ask to need to, she was extremely kind, warm and wonderful with our dog. It was evident she cared very much about our dog and was be determined she would have a good experience and she did! We will definitely use Talishia again!”
“Nicole is honestly the best river. Her and her family love my dog when they watch her, and she is treated like a part of the family. I love getting the picture updates from Nicole and I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“Maureen was absolutely amazing with Kera and Beau. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves dogs. Beau is still young and has a ton of energy, while Kera is older and likes to take things a little slower, and Maureen did such a good job making sure both of their very different needs were taken care of. It made me feel so good knowing they were getting the attention each of them needed. I would trust Maureen with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dogs like they’re her own.”
“Elizabeth and Erik always do such a great job of caring for my yellow lab mix! They’re great at communicating and accommodating any needs. Will definitely be boarding with them again!”
“I would give Colleen and Joe ten stars if I could. They were absolutely wonderful pet sitters and I recommend them without hesitation. Our dog loved their fabulous and safe yard and Colleen is so kind and caring. Truthfully, it was worry free on our end we we loved the pictures and updates we got.”
“Jessica was WONDERFUL with my dog. Even though I had a timing issue come up with my pickup due to travel, we easily worked through it and she was so understanding and kind about it. And my little Pie just loved her and her family. Pie loved the fenced yard to run and play in.”
“This was my dog’s fourth stay, and once again they were amazing. They take such great care of her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s with them.”
“There aren't enough words to describe how awesome Rebekah and her family were to our little pup while we were on vacation. From the daily updates, to making her feel like a part of their family, they truly were amazing every step of the way. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing boarding”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Martha and Eric were so amazing! They were super friendly and communicative and provided so many wonderful updates while we were away from our pup! They followed all of our asks/routines perfectly to ensure our pup was comfortable and stayed in somewhat of a routine. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking them again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Lisa was amazing!! She was quick to respond to any questions I had and sent pictures and updates during Daisy's stay. I will for sure reach out to Lisa again!!”
“Everything worked great with this family. I know if my dog could talk she definitely agree with me. I will certainly have you on my list for next time. Thanks a lot.”
“Bryan took great care of my puppy! He sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. He was well taken care of, and I’d definitely recommend him! 😊”
“Our cat had a great time staying with Manami. Manami was patient with her feeding schedule and gave her lots of snuggles. We'll definitely ask her to sit again next time we're out of town.”
“We use Kyle every time we go out of town. Our dog usually gets really nervous when we leave him somewhere. Not only does he not get nervous when we leave him with Kyle, but our dog rushes in his house and doesn’t even look back he’s so excited.”

Mackenzie did a fantastic job hosting Apollo while we were on vacation! I received several updates and photos and always received quick replies when asking any questions. Apollo enjoys the human and dog interaction he gets when he visits her house. 😊 We will definitely book with her again!
We chose to leave our dog with Andrew because he specializes in Golden Retreivers. Our dog not only had a great time with the other dogs, he was was in perfect shape when we picked him up and returned home. Andrew was even accommodating with us when our trip was stretched out by a day. I highly recommend his services.
