“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”

“We loved having our dog stay with Brenda and her family. We will definitely use them again. She sent pictures every day,veas an excellent communicator and my dog was playing with her dogs when I came to pick him up. A+ experience! Thanks Brenda!”

“Such a wonderful experience booking with Betsy! She was so sweet with our sweet Roland and would send daily pictures and updates! So lucky to find someone we trust to take care of our fur baby and will definitely book in the future!”

“McKenzie was attentive and caring towards our dog. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable while we were away. We appreciated the personalized care and photo updates she provided throughout our dog's stay.”

“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”

“Amanda and Leif was absolutely wonderful! They welcomed Boba right into her home and even let him sleep on the bed, which he loves and helps him feel totally comfortable. He got plenty of walks, lots of playtime with her little boys to keep him busy, and he came home tired out, happy, and clearly very well-loved. Amanda was also super communicative and sent lots of photos throughout his stay, which really put us at ease since it was his first time staying with her. We definitely will be using Amanda and her sweet family for future stays!”


“Our dogs enjoyed their time with Lydia. She treated them as family and we were sent updated photos daily. Lydia is a caring provider. We would definitely send our fur babies for a visit again.”

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”

“Ellen was great with our pup, Arthur! She made sure he was comfortable in a new space and helped him through a bit of anxiety in the beginning of his stay. She was very communicative and we will definitely be booking with her again!”


“This is long over due! Doc and Heather have been sitting for my dog for just over a year now. They are my go-to family when I am planning a trip and always my first choice. I get lots of photos during my trips, they are super communicative and flexible and I know Miles is safe and sound while I am traveling. Knowing I don’t need to worry is the best thing as a pet parent and I’m so grateful for how well they take care of my doggo when I am out of town!”

“Jessica and Grant were fantastic! Kirby had a great time with them and their dog, Cooper. Communication was excellent and we never once worried about Kirby. We will definitely rebook.”

“Alexis was so wonderful and accommodating to my last minute needs. She took very good care of my dog and gave her lots of attention. I received daily pictures and updates, which was so nice. Thanks Alexis!”

“Joayne and her children are the perfect home-away-from-home for my pug. They take such good care of him and give him lots of love. He loves them back! I’m so grateful they are providing this service.”

“I asked Barbara to babysit for the first time and it went great. She gave updates and pictures. I really appreciated this. I will definitely be asking Barbara for future babysitting gigs!”
“Our dog Ruby is a sensitive creature and can take a while to warm to new people, but from the photos sent by Julia during our vacation showed Ruby relaxing or on a walk with their dog. She seemed to feel loved! Thank you Julia and Dan!”

“Easy to work with and sends lots of pix! Had lots of dog friends for our 2 to hang out with, & they came back really tired and chill. Perfect for post surgery! Thanks Susie & Matt.”

“Nicole and David were wonderful with our dog, Luna. They were patient with her timid personality and allowed her to come out of her shell in her own time. They updated me frequently of how Luna was getting along and I appreciated their communication.”

“Tristan and Sadie did a wonderful job at looking after our little Holly. They took notice of the notes we had entered on the site, provide lovely photos of their adventures together. She obviously had a great time. We will definitely be booking with them again”

Hiawatha dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine and Andrew watched our 14 month golden retriever, Oskar, for a month while we got married and honeymooned. We truly can’t thank them enough. This family is so sweet, with a lovely, clean home, and they clearly cared for our pup as if he was their own. They sent photos regularly, and little check-ins about how we was settling in, all of which helped us feel so good and enjoy our time away knowing Oskar was in such caring hands. We got him back and he hadn’t skipped a beat.

I had a great experience with Helga. I left my Shiba Inu, Yami, in her care, and he warmed up to her much quicker than he usually does with new people. She provided frequent photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Yami was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout his stay. I really appreciated her communication and patience. I would definitely trust her with Yami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Amanda, Leif, and their two sons provided the perfect home-away-from-home for our pug. He received an abundance of fetch time, as well as snuggles and naps. I received frequent photos and updates which always made me smile. I will have them on the top of my doggie care list!

Sally was amazing! We had never left our dog with someone he didn't know well and were worried how it would go, but she offered to do a meetup first to see how things went. The meetup went well. During Link's stay, she sent us pictures and let us know how he was settling in, keeping us at ease.

Doc and Heather were great sitters for Scarlet while we were out of town. Daily updates and photos showing Scarlet was comfortable and enjoying the time in their home. Having her in good hands takes away a lot of the worry while on vacation. Would recommend Doc and Heather anytime if you’re in need of good care for the pup.

Michelle and Stewie were the perfect match for my lil doggo. My dog Fiona is a little shy and awkward around new people. Michelle was great with giving fiona the right amount of attention and space so she could get comfortable. Her dog Stewie, on the other hand, seemed to get fiona right away made clear that they were going to be friends. According to the regular updates we received, Fiona was making herself at home and chillin' with her vacation pack without a thought for us (which is AMAZING for our sweet little rescue). Michelle also does day care in addition to boarding, so Fiona got some extra socialization with other four legged friends and had a blast! The videos and photos of Fiona, Stewie, and friends on walks or playing gave us a ton of joy and peace of mind that Fiona was in good hands. My wife and I are thankful we met Michelle and Stewie. They're definitely our first call the next time we need a dog sitter.
