“Maegan accommodated my schedule to pick Hadley up a different day than we originally booked. She left a birthday party just so I could pick up our pup after our trip!”
“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!! This was my first time and my pups first of staying overnight and overall with someone he doesn't know. She shared pictures and updates and accommodated my delay in schedule. He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.”
“Shantalee was phenomenal with our boxer, Peanut, on a last minute request! Her apartment was perfect for our pup and they snuggled the entire weekend. Shantalee is warm, attentive, had great communication, and truly loved our girl! We’ll absolutely use her again.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed dog sitting for a weekend with only one days notice! We had never had Lucy boarded anywhere before and we were a bit nervous about the process, but it went so smoothly! She sent pictures to reassure my kiddos she was being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her services and will be using her again for dog sitting in the future!”
“Our 5-month old Goldendoodle puppy had a great time with Lori. He's active, growing, friendly, and loves playing with other dogs, and she supported all of his needs, especially the play and affection that's so important for puppy development. He liked her immediately, and came home happy and healthy. I'm also grateful for her flexibility when we had to extend his visit by a day because of a cancelled airline flight. I will definitely reach out to Lori the next time.”
“Marisa was excellent with our 2 pups! She was very prompt with responding to my texts/emails. She kept me up to date with pictures of our pups while on vacation which put our minds at ease. Will definitely recommend her to sit again! Very pleased. Thank you Marisa! 😊”
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
“I was really nervous to leave my puppies with John because of their fear of strangers, but John made them feel comfortable right away. On the second day, I received pictures of John snuggling with my timid pups. They were well taken care of and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. We will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend! We give an eight paw rating!”
“Laura’s experience with older dogs and their needs helped make Truman’s stay with her and her other dogs most enjoyable. She kept us informed daily with updates and photos. You can tell that Laura truly loves what she does and we will definitely use her again.”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
“Kevinh was a phenomenal dog sitter. He was available last minute to watch our small dog. He took Kona on several long walks, send many pictures and regular updates. Great communication. Kona was extremely comfy and cared for ! I would 100% recommend Kevinh!”

“Very happy after Cache took care of my dog this weekend. She is a good communicator, located in a convenient location and has a nice apartment. The most important thing about finding the right sitter or walker is trust and I already feel that after just one experience! Def will book again.”
“Stephanie went above and beyond to watch our Newfoundland puppy for us - this was our first time leaving her and Stephanie did a great job communicating and providing us with updates and lots of pictures of Lola each day. Her double fenced in yard and expertise in dog training were added bonuses! And because Lola loves attention and kids, knowing that her kids were there to play with her too, made us really happy! We will definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“Chelsea and Christopher were fantastic! They have an amazing setup at their home. They sent pictures and updates every day and were very accommodating to work around my schedule! I will definitely be bringing Willow back!”
“Christopher was great with communicating and sending daily pictures. He was very accommodating when I booked the wrong return date making sure it was changed in Rover. Overall I think my needy old hound had a fun vacation.”
“Amy was incredible. She sent me updates, was kind, flexible, and treated my puppy very well. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and has a great setup for pets. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amy and her care.”
Helderberg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was very flexible, patient and pleasant. She was also the best-ever at sending regular updates and listened well. Our dog was anxious for a while and Samantha made necessary adjustments to help her calm down and enjoy herself. We’d be happy to have Samantha sit for Keely anytime.
John was amazing! Super responsive, even to a last-minute/ day-of booking! He took wonderful care of our lil Roxy, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which we so appreciated :) She’s 15 years old and can sometimes be a little skiddish, but she took right to him and he made her feel right at home. He’s a great dog sitter and was very kind and caring, will definitely be booking with him again!
We love having Brigid care for our dog. He is well-cared for and comes home happy, healthy and calm. Brigid is a delight and she opens her home to just one little dog at a time. Brigid makes it easy when you need to have someone else take care of your pet. She is friendly and easy to communicate with and sends updates and pictures daily. We've booked with Brigid several times and look forward to our next booking with her.
I would give Sarah 100 stars if I could; she is so amazing! Miles stayed with her two years ago when I went to scatter my parents ashes in England, and he came home so happy and calm. So when I had a very intensive training, and conference this weekend in Baltimore, I knew he would be in wonderful hands! When I arrived on Thursday he immediately jumped on the couch with their dog, who he clearly recognized! Sarah as before was very welcoming, and one of her three daughters was there to pet him; and did so, so gently! According to her husband, who was there when we picked Miles up, the two dogs were inseparable the whole weekend. Again Miles came home so calm and happy! I feel so blessed to have found Sarah! To know that I can trust that my eleven year old dog will be happy and safe when I am away, means everything to me! I absolutely recommend Sarah and her family! I cannot imagine a happier, and safer place to be!
She was so accommodating of my dogs needs and personality. She made sure he was fed on time, walked, and ready for pick up. She responds quick to all messages, and was able to fit me in last minute. She made sure to send cute videos of him and kept me updated on their day. I would highly recommend her as a great sitter. I’m definitely going to ask her to watch my dog again! :)
Emily was so fantastic with my rotti, Kenna. She is a rescue who has been with me for 5 years, but had a few homes before, and never been away from me overnight, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Emily was very reassuring and they got along at the initial meet and greet and I could see that Emily has a very calm demeanor that is great for an anxious doggo. While I was away she sent me daily updates with lots of pictures and let me know how my girl was doing which I definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend Emily and trust her to watch my pup in the future.
