“Wonderful experience ! Meaghan and Johnny are very loving people with great communication. They sent me pics and videos during my pup’s stay and kept me updated without having to even ask. Definitely booking again and they will be my sitter anytime I need one ❤️”


“Shume was very accommodating with my schedule, as well as with Kona, my 9 month old Labradoodle. She immediately sent me pictures of Kona playing with her own dog, which made me feel like Kona was enjoying her stay with Shume. I'll definitely use her in the future when I need care for Kona.”


“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”

“Dalis was amazing with our shy pup! She sent pictures every day and made sure to keep us updated on what was going on with our dog Cali. Cali was always happy in her pictures and we just know she loved it there!”


“Would love to have her to oversee Titus anytime. She kept me informed at all times. He loved his company. Her family is very welcoming. I’m thankful that she was available to assist me at the spur of the moment. I’m really satisfied with overall service Rover provides for my pet Monster Titus. Rick”


“Jennifer has been nothing short of awesome and amazing! She loves our animals as if they are hers and send updates/ photos to keep in touch with your furbaby! I intend to have her sit for my pet again!”


“This is the second time Kira has watched my dogs and I will definitely continue to book with her! She sends daily photos and updates and I know my dogs have so much fun while staying with her!”


“Lauren clearly loves all the dogs she takes care of! I was glad to be able to leave my puppy in good hands and with other dogs that all got along great. I will definitely bring Luna back when I need a good overnight home and don't want to worry about how she's doing.”


“Faith and Tyler were amazing with Gunny!!! They sent pictures, took him for walks and made sure accommodations were made when he got grumpy with their dog. They went above and beyond to care for him. It really gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for while away.”


“Cimily made me so comfortable leaving Kylo with her and family to include Panda. He was well taken care of and even learned to use the doggie door. I will definitely leave Kylo with her on our next trip. She kept me up to date with pictures and updates daily. Thank you so much!”


“Albert took our two dogs in for a week with absolutely no problem. He was brilliant with both and kept us updated daily. We definitely highly recommend him to take care of our dogs and will definitely call on him again. He did a wonderful job with them. Thank you very much!”


“Steven has taken great care of our dogs on a few separate occasions now. He sends daily photos and updates which our family loves to see when we are away. We are thankful to have found him!”


“Unfortunately for other Rover sitters, I found Shasta and her family. I will never look any further. She was absolutely wonderful with updates and the best photographer. I literally will be using one or several photos to put onto a canvas. She checked in everyday and made everything so easy on me. I will never book with anyone else quite honestly. Thank you so much!”


“We love Eboni!! She takes great care of our dog when we go out of town and is good at sending picture updates ❤️ our pup always looks so comfy and calm with her.”



“Deborah was beyond phenomenal. I received multiple pictures and detailed updates every day my sweet Elle was away from home. I felt so relieved and there was no stress at all with Elle in her care. She is attentive to my dog and her dogs playing and is very consistent with commands when feeding and playing. She even brought the pups inside for rest breaks so they wouldn’t overheat. I will book every time I can with Deborah. 6 out of 5 stars.”


“Our dog had a great time staying with Erin! He is very high energy, and all of his needs were met. He had a blast playing with her dog(s), and even got used to the cats (we don’t think he had seen one before and was very on-edge at first). Erin made sure he got plenty of attention, bathroom breaks, play time, food/water, etc. Her photo and video updates were very welcome, as we saw him really playing with another dog for the first time (he usually only cares about toys). He even came home with a little goodie bag!”


“Our dog Sadie had a wonderful time with Laura and we could not be more pleased. Laura has a fenced in yard and a sweet dog Piper that Sadie was able to play with. Laura also kept us regularly up to date on Sadie with pics and videos. We are very excited to have found someone we are completely comfortable leaving Sadie with in the future.”


“Ben did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. He has a beautiful property with plenty of space and was great about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Both our dogs loved Ben. They kept running back to him to say bye when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ben again in the future and highly recommend him.”


“Juyne did a wonderful job sitting with my fur babies! She sent texts & pictures so I always knew how they were doing. It was the first time I left them and I knew they were in good hands. She is so patient and kind. My "kids" loved staying with her!”



“Elizabeth took great care of my pup. My dog is typically shy and uneasy around strangers, but was extremely happy and excited when I dropped her off for her second visit. She sends lots of pictures and gives lots of updates. She has completely relieved my stress of traveling without my dog!”
