“Beth was so responsive and provided great detail into any message she sent regarding Ivan. I never once had to message her first to ask how he was doing. She made sure to send me lots of messages and lots of photos and I felt very comfortable leaving Ivan in her care. would highly recommend her I cannot say enough good things.”


“Ebony was great! This was my first time using Rover and she made this experience way less anxiety provoking. She checked in, sent pictures, and loved my labradoodle like one of her own! I will definitely be re-booking!”


“Sometimes it's hard to really know if someone is a dog lover, but not Stephanie. It's obvious from the get-go that dogs are a part of her life. Meeting her for the first time, we knew our Maggie was in the right hands. She's attentive, sent us pictures and videos of Mags while we were on vacation, loving, and updated us as she cared for her. She's on our short list for regulars now. Definitely recommend!”


“Heather was the best! She sent me so many pictures and videos which made me feel assured that Charlie was well taken care of. And her dog, Remi, is so cute and sweet and playful.”


“Sharon did an excellent job watching our senior dog! She and her dog Wesley were super friendly and extra accommodating. Sharon sent frequent updates & pics and even bathed him one day when he needed a refresh. Sharon’s yard is perfect for dogs, very safe & fun to explore or sunbathe. Sharon also plays relaxing music for your dogs. Talk about a dog-cation!! You will not be disappointed booking Sharon, she is a highly skilled Dog Sitter and great with humans too!”


“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”


“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”



“I just can’t say enough about Rachael, she was beyond accommodating and patient with Agnes. This is the first time we have ever left her with anyone outside of family and once boarded with our vet (which was a horrible experience), she’s a gentle giant but very nervous and Rachael was so sweet and flexible to work with Agnes’s quirks and really got her out of her shell and back into her normal self, and text and sent pictures all the time so we knew what was going on! I will rebook with her every time, if she’ll have our Agnes again! Thank you Rachael and Pat❤️”


“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”


“I will definitely rebook with Courtney in the future! Ginger was instantly comfortable in the home and acted like she's known the whole family forever. Courtney sent picture updates which was very appreciated.”


“Leah’s home is a perfect fit for our 14 year old toy poodle! She accommodates all of our special request with love and gentleness. Thank you for allowing us to take a vacation without worrying about our senior baby.”


“Shunita did an amazing job with my pup. He had long walks, played with new friends and even got to sit like a person on the couch. Then he got a goodie bag to go! Safe to say, we'll be back.”


“Crystal and her family are truly the best! It’s incredible to see how naturally Uhtey fit in with them. He’s usually very shy around people, but watching him open up to Crystal speaks volumes about the kind and caring person she is!”


“Ashlyn and her husband were wonderful sitters for my puppy! It was my first time using Rover and I definitely had my worries having someone watch my 5 month old puppy for me for 4 days but Ashlyn kept me updated and was very understanding of the usual struggles that come with taking care of a puppy. Her dog definitely helped with making my puppy feel very comfortable in her home and I’m so glad she had a wonderful time there. I definitely will consider using Ashlyn again if I ever need to :)”


“Second time Ziggy has stayed with Grace. We feel like she takes great care of him. He has a great time with her dogs! I'm sure her is looking forward to his next visit.”


“Stefan was awesome and took great care of our 15yr old pup! We could tell she felt right at home during her stay, which means a lot since she is a generally anxious dog, and we got plenty of pictures and updates of her hanging out.”


“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
