1. Hommer & Hellen F.

“I had a wonderful experience with Hommer who looked after my dog Fluff for the weekend. From the moment I met Hommer, I could tell he had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Fluff immediately warmed up to him, which put my mind at ease. Throughout the weekend, Hommer kept me updated with regular messages and pictures of Fluff having a great time. It was evident that Fluff was in safe hands and enjoying every moment the stay with Hommer. Not only did he provide excellent care for Fluff, but he also took the time to understand Fluff's unique needs and preferences. Fluff had such a good time because Hommer ensured Fluff got enough exercise, playtime, and love. I couldn't have asked for a more responsible and reliable person to care for Fluff. Hommer’s professionalism and commitment to Fluff's well-being were truly commendable. I highly recommend his services to any pet owner seeking top-notch care and attention for their furry friends. Thank you for providing Fluff with such a fantastic and joyful experience!”


2. Carla Cavalcante G.

“Made my pup and I feel very comfortable about the whole experience. You can tell Carla has a lot of experience under her belt! She gave us plenty of updates during my pup's stay, and even gave some feedback/advice on how we can continue training him. Very well organized, I will be using Carla's services again for sure!”


3. Andrew G.

“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”


4. Sujan G.


“Sujan is a fantastic dog sitter! He watched our labradoodle this past week and our pup had a blast. Sujan sent multiple pictures everyday and truly treated our pup as his own! He even checked in after the stay to see how our pup was. We will definitely be using Sujan again! Thank you so much!!”


5. Heather B.

“Jagger loved staying with Heather and her family. He was very well cared for and really enjoyed playing with her two pups. They have a great fenced yard.”


6. Karen L.

“Karen took great care of our dog. She sent daily photos while we were gone which I very much appreciated. When I asked questions (such as how my dog was adjusting, was she eating, etc), Karen was quick to respond. Would definitely book again and feel comfortable referring others to her.”


7. Julia Bordelon

“I appreciated Julia for offering Shevy excellent dog care. Julia responded to my boarding request in a timely fashion, posted updates and pictures during the boarding stay, and followed Shevy's daily routine. Her home is dog friendly. She and her partner are trustworthy and caring petsitters. I highly recommend Julia to take care of your pets and I would use her service again.”




8. Derek M.

“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”


9. Nomar S.

“Nomar was great communicator and attentive to my pet! He was very friendly and helpful during the time my dog spent with him! She came back happy and relaxed like I never left! Will definitely book again!!”


10. Leanna K.

“Leanna is the absolute best! My pup loves going to stay with her and gets along beautifully with her sweet dog Maverick. She sends great pictures and updates too. We love boarding with her and will definitely continue!”


11. Lydia Y.

“Lydia has been the best dogsitter I've ever met. She absolutely is the best. She never forgot to send daily pictures of my dog and always asked questions when she had some concerns about my dog. She is a very caring and detail-oriented dogsitter. Once you meet her, you won't go back to your usual dogsitter. Thank you so much for everything!”


12. John W.

“This was the second time we used John and his wife Joanna and they were wonderful once again. Our pups can be nervous when they’re away from home but I could tell they recognized their home (and kids) and felt comfortable there, which made it easier to leave them. They communicate and send pictures/updates every day, and when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well they let us know right away and were willing to stay up at night with him to make sure he was okay. They even checked up on him after he was back home. Just lovely!”




13. Julianne S.

“This is the second time that my dog has stayed with Julianne and she is fantastic. When I leave on business I dont worry at all knowing my dog is in great hands. ”


14. Renata S.

“Renata was absolutely wonderful and made my first time using rover wonderful. She’s so sweet and communicative while I was away with pictures and updates. Brinx had a wonderful time”


15. Leslie B.

“Leslie is the best dog mom for our boy Hank whenever we need help watching him. She is professional, communicative and always give Hank a great time.”


16. Mikaela S.

“Mikaela is so sweet and kind. She and our pup took to each other immediately. I want to recommend her but don't want to be too busy for us in the future. Lol. She is responsive, attentive, and reliable. Definitely recommend her! Our pup definitely missed her when we got home. Thank you again Mikaela! :)”


17. Nawarat J.

“All I can say is amazing!! She loved our girl like her own and took such great care of her when she seemed to have little stomach bug/hives shortly after her dropping her off. Kept me very updated and sent tons of pictures. Our girl was all smiles and showered in love!”


18. Nancy S.

“Nancy and her daughter Elena took really good care of my fur baby! I received a photo every day of my pampered pooch, and she looked to be both happy and comfortable! Travel ended a day earlier than expected, so I arranged for early pick up. Will definitely consider this Rover rep again, however, when planning my summer vacation.”


19. Rachael D.

“Rachael is my go to person when I need someone to watch Lila. She's so patient with her as Lila tends to become a little clingy when I try to leave. Rachael also sends pictures with updates and I have no worries when I leave Lila with her. She is absolutely the best.”


20. Kapil P.

“Kapil took such good care of my Theo. He and his pup Mia were very good company and Kapil made sure to share lots of photos. Theo was very well rested when he returned.”
