“Robert, his wife and children were the best with very nice home, big fenced-in yard, and large patio! We loved receiving daily pictures of him tanning on the patio, as he loves the sun; playing with the kids; and just looking like he was truly enjoying himself. I could tell, when I picked him up, he has a great time and was quite comfortable. I will definitely recommend them and use them whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you Robert, Agnes, and family ”


“LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER and so does Mac!! She was patient helpful and gentle with my brat. He seemed very comfortable and happy with her. Definitely recommend!”


“Barbara was awesome! Unfortunately I booked with a different sitter who subsequently stated she could not watch my dog (Bailey) less than 24 hours after I dropped her off. The sitter stated Bailey was barking frantically and subsequently cancelled shortly before I was supposed to board my international flight with my family early the following morning. For Bailey to be barking frantically is unlike Bailey. Rover subsequently reached out to several sitters on my behalf while I was on my flight and described Bailey as having “separation anxiety” because of what the other sitter stated and “needing plenty of attention and play time”. Unlike to how Bailey was described, Bailey doesn’t bark much and has a calm temperament. My whole flight my family and I were wondering what would happen with Bailey in reference to how she was being described and if she’d be in good hands. Barbara fortunately volunteered for the job and her and I texted briefly while still on my flight because she wanted to know more about Bailey. I advised her that the manner in which the other sitter was describing Bailey was out of character. Barbara subsequently volunteered to pickup Bailey from the other sitter. Once Barbara was with Bailey she sent me a picture and reassured me Bailey was in good hands. Barbara would routinely send me pictures on updates of Bailey throughout the days we were gone. Additionally, Barbara gave Bailey her medicine twice daily for her ear infection. Barbara was great and I would recommend her services.”


“I have never let anyone watch my dog overnight but when I met Barbara for a meet and greet I felt very comfortable with her and her love and knowledge of dogs, especially pit bulls put my mind at ease. She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos to assure me that Lily was having a great time and Barbara and her family enjoyed keeping Lily company. I have an upcoming trip which I’ll be gone for 9 days and this really puts my mind at ease knowing Lily will be in good hands. I would recommend Barbara to others.”


“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”


“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”


“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”


“Omg! Ethel was amazing with Beau! She kept in communication with me the entire time I was gone and she was super friendly! I WILL DEFINITELY BE BOOKING WITH HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ETHEL!”


“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”


“Matt and Leslie were amazing with Gunnar. He seemed to have a wonderful time. They were very communicative and send pics and videos daily. Their dog, Cooper, was an absolute sweetheart and was very easy going (didn’t even seem to mind when Gunnar stole some toys). I would highly recommend them!”


“Iman was amazing! We were so nervous about being away from our furbaby, and didn’t want to go to an impersonal boarder. So we decided on Rover. Iman’s profile stood out. We were able to video chat before booking and she kept us apprised of our girl throughout her stay. We felt so much better able being away with our girl in Iman’s care. Highly recommend!”


“This was my first time using Rover. When I met Kendra before the actual drop off day, I was confident that Rico would be in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the weekend of his progress. Thanks for putting my mind at ease! Will definitely us again”


“Very accommodating after my original dog sitter canceled at the last minute. I was kept up to date on my fur baby condition and sent pictures. Very friendly and very caring! I will always book with her 💖”


“I am very thankful for Linda, her professionalism, and her genuine love of animals! Gabby had a wonderful stay and was well taken care of. We felt very content leaving her. She also took Gabby at a late notice which helped us out a ton. Thanks so much Linda! We will definitely be contacting you again.”


“Dayana was great ! My puppy Zoie had a great time and I will be booking again . She was very great with sending pictures and keeping me updated while watching my puppy . She is truly great !”


“Jill, Nick, and her children took great care of Howie. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. I received daily pictures and updates. Their response time on messages is absolutely great. I think Howie was sad he had to come home!”


“Thankful to have met Susan & her grandson to help me care for my little kitty Church. This is the second time I've boarded him while I was away for my studies. I felt very comfortable leaving my little man knowing he was cared for as I care for him at home. Highly recommend to board ✨”


“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
