“Anamika is fantastic! She’s very communicative and keeps me updated throughout the day. She sends tons of pictures to let me know my dog is doing ok. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Jeannette was an excellent sitter for Ruby. She provided the structure that she has at home. I appreciate that she has a large fenced yard for exploration and activity. She provided timely updates during her the visit and an overview during pickup. Ruby enjoyed her stay and I felt safe leaving her with Jeannette. I will definitely book her again.”
“My two dogs LOVE staying with Kayla. She is responsive, helpful, communicates every day and my girls are so happy while they are there! I can't recommend Kayla enough!”
“Januel was great, though I don't require much, I do appreciate the picture updates on Cody. The satisfaction of seeing a snippet of Cody having fun and Relaxing around new friends, makes me even more comfortable in enjoying my trip. I really believe Cody enjoyed himself by being around other pets. So much so , I believe he was a little sad to leave. I would definitely book Januel again.”
“Peggy was absolutely fantastic! She kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Teddy had an amazing time playing in the yard and going on walks—he came home happy and clearly well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when we had to extend Teddy’s stay twice due to weather-related travel delays, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would 100% trust Peggy with Teddy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I had a great experience leaving my dog Theo with Brenton! He was responsive, professional, and very kind. He kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout Theo’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Theo seemed happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I picked him up. Brenton clearly has a natural way with dogs, and I really appreciated the calm environment he provided. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Will definitely book with him again!”
“Amazing sitter! Got a lot of updates which really eased my anxieties about leaving my puppy. She was super kind and made sure that I knew she was ok throughout my whole trip. She went above and beyond by brushing her and walking her multiple times a day. If you’re looking for a sitter I would recommend her any day.”
“Our dog Honey just stayed with Nancy for the second time and we couldn’t be happier! Her entire family treats Honey so well and we know she gets lots of love while we’re traveling which is a huge comfort. Nancy is the best!”
“Thank you to Lipika for accommodating me with a minute request for overnight boarding! She was quickly responsive, kind, understanding, and empathetic. She sent me time-stamped videos throughout the day when my dog socialized and played, went for walks and ate. I appreciated the communication which made me feel that my dog was comfortable and in good hands with her family! My dog was very calm when I picked her up!! A good sign. Would definitely book again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I would like to thank Norma for great service with Milo . We were out of the town and missed Milo however Norma provided multiple updates and pictures so we didn’t feel so far. Thank you Norma !”
“Jamie is awesome. My Luna is high maintenance and an epileptic- she needs anti-seizure meds twice a day and normally shuts down when I am gone. She immediately took to Jamie as her new pack leader and followed her around during our meet and greet so I knew we were in good hands. Jamie even had her eating every meal while I was gone which is very unusual. We got a ton of pictures and communication was great throughout our vacation and while we missed Luna terribly she was in great hands. We have already rebooked with Jamie for our fall trip back to our home state of Michigan. Thank you Jamie for being such a great substitute mama and pack leader for Luna!❤️. Huskies aren’t everyone ‘s cup of tea )especially the hair) so I greatly appreciate finding such an accepting and wonderful sitter for Luna.”
“Bri and her family love our dog, Cooper. We had an almost two week trip and we knew that Cooper was in great hands. We're already planning our next booking!”
“I love this family so much! My Kingston had a ball and felt right at home. He even came back walking better on his leash. Will 100% use them again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe space for their dog while traveling. Thank you guys again for being so sweet and flexible.”
“Dana took amazing care of Riley and treated him like part of her family, with so much extra love and plenty of cuddles. We truly appreciated the daily updates and all the photos. Our minds were immediately at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We have already reached out to book Riley’s next stay with her. Highly recommend!!”

Iggy, my pet dog apparently had a great time, evident from the numerous pictures that Tawni shared pro-actively and also she was pretty energized on her return :-) I am sure Iggy did not miss us a bit :-) Thanks Tawni for all your help and support. We sure have found a second home for Iggy in our absence.”

Harrisburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
What an Awesome Awesome Awesome 1st time experience with Rover and the Best Sitter Ever! I have NEVER been separated from my baby and was having anxiety all the way to Ma Shawnon’s door I was talking myself out of it and telling myself no one will take care of her like I do no one will understand my strict rules and the care that must be done no exceptions. However there is one that took it to heart to take care of Princess. Ms Shawnon when and before Tex
Tara was amazing! Her home was very welcoming and clean, and she took such great care of my fur baby Dash like he was her own. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent while I was away… it gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for someone loving and trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you again, Tara!
