“Thank you Megan & Jenny! I needed to board my dog for one night with short notice and Megan & Jenny were able to board him. They responded quickly to my request and communicated with texts and photos during my dog's stay. My dog looked happy and it seems like he was well cared for. I will be contacting Megan & Jenny again for dog sitting and boarding.”

“Lee is amazing and I knew that Max was in the best hands from the minute we met her. As soon as we arrived at her house, Max wanted to go in and join the pack. It was such a relief not to have to worry about him and we will definitely hire her again without any reservation.”

“Benny did a great job watching my (Barry) German Shepherd. He sent daily updates which kept me at ease knowing that Barry was well taken care of. I highly recommend Benny to watch your dogs.”

“Hy and Arlo were great sitters for our pup during a long vacation. It was his first time staying for a long period of time somewhere unfamiliar and Hy put us right at ease. Right off the bat, they seemed very comfortable with our pup and very confident around dogs generally, and pup took right to exploring their spacious home with a nice, fenced in backyard. Our dog is dog-reactive and they had ideas for best routes to walk him in their neighborhood. During our trip, they were able to use their intuitiveness to troubleshoot some barking at night. When we picked him up, we could tell he took a real liking to Hy while we were gone. Thanks Hy and Arlo for taking such good care of our guy while!”

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”

“Alex took very great care of our dog while my partner and I have to both be away for a week. My dog has rarely been with sitters and is very nervous around new people. Alex has been great at accommodating all of my dog’s needs, and have a great environment to make my dog feels as comfortable as she can. Alex is very prompt with communication, and provided daily picture/video and detailed updates of my dog. Alex has a ton of experience with dogs so I would definitely leave my dog in her care again.”

“Chad was great with our pups. It's such a relief to find a good sitter and Chad is one of those people! He has a great place with a big backyard and nice house for the dogs to romp around in. He was very communicative both during our meet and greet as well as during their first stay with him. One of our dogs is a bit skittish with people but warmed right up to Chad, which is a testament to him and his ability to make her feel at ease. We already have another date on the calendar with him. Highly recommended.”
“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”

“Sharon is incredible! Very proactive with update, and took wonderful care of our little guy. She was patient with him and that he’s still just a puppy and his potty training. Really appreciate all her grace, we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her!”

“I was out of town for 6 nights, and Juliana and Katherine took amazing care of my dog, Pippi. They went above and beyond—taking her to different dog parks, on neighborhood walks, and making sure she felt right at home. I loved receiving the updates and great photos of her playing in the parks and relaxing in their dog-friendly backyard. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend them!”


“A++ Jeff and Kim were amazing hosts and took excellent care of my Lola during her stay. I highly recommend and trust them as they make your pet feel like family immediately! They are attentive to details and ensure any specific needs are met while keeping your pet entertained throughout his/her stay. Jeff and Kim kept me updated with great pictures of Lola and all the fun activities she was doing with the resident pack throughout her stay... I was worried she might not want to come home because she was having so much fun! We will definitely book again soon, perhaps even regular daycare with Jeff and Kim as I know Lola is even MORE spoiled during her stay with them! Great rates, flexibility, and excellent communication and service....experience for yourself you won't be disappointed!”
“Erika is a kind, wonderful, and generous host to our little puppy. As a nervous, new pup parent, I asked to meet her in person to ask her a bunch of questions. Not only did she ease my anxieties with her great answers and knowledge, I felt listened to and I learned a lot from her. Little Granny Pea is also a sweet assistant and I’m grateful to have her teach Champi a few things and to socialize with him. Erika sent photos and updates too- she’s very communicative. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Champi was so happy and am so glad we get to work with them again soon. I highly recommend Erika and the Pea. Truly the best!”

“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”

“Alexis provided excellent daycare for Roxer today. She kept him engaged and active, sent cute photo updates throughout the day, and he came home tired and happy. Roxer most definitely enjoyed his time and I will definitely use Alexis again for daycare needs!”

“Kaylyn did such a great job with my trio of kitties. She kept in constant communication with so many pictures and updates. All of them loved to cuddle her so I know she was giving them so much love. We would love to have her watch them again anytime we are away. Thank you Kaylyn you are very much appreciated.”

“Isaac and Jordan were fantastic! I have a very old dog and they took great care of him and provided photos every day that they had him. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable loving dog sitter!”

“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”

Harrington dog parents share their Rover experiences
If we could give 10 stars to Megan and Jenny we would. Cannot express enough gratitude for their true dedication and support for caring for our very active 15 month old pup. We received such informative and fun updates about how Keeley was doing along with photos and videos that confirmed how well she was cared for. Keeley has not been to a lot of other homes so we were a bit nervous but it became clear immediately that these two are pros and professional dog lovers! And we could tell that they TRULY enjoyed and got a kick out of her fun puppy personality. All logistics also flawless. We know Keeley will miss them both. Thank you again Megan and Jenny

Aleksandria and Erik were fantastic! They were super easy to work with and took great care of our bulldog. They made sure she got her eye drops as needed and sent plenty of photos and updates while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend them!
Dacyl took the best care of my pup! She was thoughtful in her approach of introducing my dog to her space, provided daily walks and enrichment activities, and most importantly shed my pup with love in my absence (sending plenty of photos and updates). As a bonus, Dacyl's space is truly ideal for dog care, as she has a fully fenced and private yard with comfortable dog-friendly furniture inside. I can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a loving and safe environment for your dog!

Nasreddine was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Our 7-year-old German shepherd loves her very much, and she makes sure to send us photos and videos while we're out, so we can rest easy knowing they're in good hands. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend her!

To say that Gina provided such a wonderful Rover experience from start to finish would be an understatement. She was thoughtful in her approach of meeting my pup, took great care of integrating my dog into her home, and sent daily updates with photos and videos. It was such a relief knowing my dog was in such great hands during an extended time away and I couldn't be more grateful to Gina for her excellent care!

Lindsey and her dog Juniper showed our girl Tiger a great time and gave me and my wife so much peace of mind while away. We got tons of great photos of Tiger having so much fun and looking so happy or resting peacefully. Lindsey was super accommodating and communicative with our travel plans. We hope to see her again on the trails or at the park for a play date.

My dog had a wonderful time staying at Zhonghus's house. He knows the golden retriever's very well. He has a nice big yard and the house is in a scenic, peaceful location. His family was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. We felt completely at ease and will gladly book again.
