“Dennise was great with my senior pup. Very patient and accommodating. Pretty Boy was very comfortable with her. We will definitely be back for another stay!”

“Leslie was VERY accommodating with our last minute booking and always answering my texts. She sent pictures to reassure our dog was in good hands. He fell asleep on our drive home which means he had got out lots of energy and had a great time! Will defiantly be using her and her husband again.”

“Itzel was so great with our pup. She was very communicative and sent pics every day. We could tell she loved him and he was taken care of while he was there. Thanks so much!”

“Leaving my dear baby is never easy, but sometimes it's necessary. Tara was quick to respond to my initial request for a boarding, and leaving my Bella with her gave me peace of mind, knowing she was in good hands and would be cared for as if she were at home. Tara’s friendly communication and update pictures reassured me of her professionalism and loving care. I will definitely reach out again for boarding in the future.”

“Carol took care of my little one Spice like her own baby. Carol is very responsive and takes excellent care. I’d surely recommend her service for your beloved ones when you’re away.”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing with Bentley! I was out of the country during his stay, and she kept me updated the entire time with messages and videos, which really put my mind at ease. It meant so much to see how well he was doing and to know he was in such great hands. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. My return flight ended up getting messed up and caused some scheduling issues for pickup, but Samantha was so understanding and worked with me while I figured everything out. She adjusted without any complaints and was very courteous about the whole situation. I truly appreciate her kindness and flexibility. I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

“Kathy was great with our 2 dogs. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. She kept them on their schedules and she sent pictures and updates to us, so we could stay informed. Any time I requested an update Kathy was very prompt. We picked up the same happy and healthy dogs we dropped off. We highly recommend her!!”

“Hunter was very respectful and willing to help out with my pup if he suffered from seizures. Although none occurred, she was reviewing all the notes to make sure she was ready. I am grateful to her willingness to make sure my pup was well cared for. Would book again!”

“Jessie and her family were amazing with Maggie! We received daily updates and pictures of their walks, cuddles, and playtimes. They welcomed Maggie as one of their family! We will definitely use Jessie again.”

“Sandra was absolutely awesome!!! She sent pictures during Kings stay and she’s so friendly and welcoming!! I’m so happy I booked her for June and will continue to book her! King absolutely loved her!!!”

“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Hannah deserves more than 5 stars. She is truly a gem and easily one of the best on Rover. She provided tons of updates on Oshie and Oshie loved her time with Hannah!”

“Elizabeth and her husband were awesome! Our dog, Piper, had a great stay and we loved getting the pictures and videos to see what she was doing while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”

“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”


“I've been using Rover for about 2 years and Cheryl was by far the best dog sitter I ever used! Not only did my dog have fun with her dog, but she was boarding an additional dog and they all enjoyed playing with eachother all weekend. Every photo she sent me of my dog showed him having fun and playing. Her and her husband really love animals and it showed. My dog didnt want to leave! I was so happy to find Cheryl because I go out of town pretty often and now I dont have to keep searching. She is amazing and your dog would be lucky to stay there!”

“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”

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!
