“Bonnie Once again saves us! Unfortunately, had to attend a funeral and request Bonnie help abit last minute, and she was always willing and took great care of our pups”


“Maellen was extremely patient and understanding with Odi and helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone elses home for the first time! She sent lots of photos and clearly gave him lots of love :)”


“Jamie was amazing! Our poor baby became ill and she knew something was wrong with her and immediately took her to the vet. We love how Jamie treats our dog like her own.”


“Holly and Robert are amazing! They took such good care of our two dogs while we were gone. Both dogs were happy and well taken care of. We got multiple pictures of them playing and getting cuddles. We will definitely be using them again!!!”


“Onrae had Oakley for the weekend and made she she ate and got her antibiotics! She’s the most picky eater but he got her to eat everyday and she came home happy. Thank you!”


“Gene was a fantastic sitter. She accommodated us by meeting us several times leading up to our stay. While Azula was with her, she kept us in the loop with pictures and excellent communication. I would recommend Gene to anyone.”


“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”


“Alexandria took lots of pictures and sent updates of Bailey. She made him part of the family and Bailey seemed like he had a great time! He can be shy and slow to warm up to new people so he most have felt really comfortable with Alexandria and her family.”


“Sam is amazing! I was really nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger but as soon as she opened her door, all of my nerves faded. Oakley was immediately welcomed by the family and dogs. He made friends and Sam sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. This was way better than putting in a kennel and we will certainly be going back to Sam! ❤️”


“Misty was all that we could have wished for to take care of our precious 17 month old Beagle puppy. She made Buster a part of the family. He played with her other dogs, learned new skills, and received the affection he loves. I could tell right away that Misty was a dog person and knew how to communicate with our dog, and how to provide the best care. I also loved the photos and messages she sent every couple of days. I felt better seeing and hearing how Buster was in our absence. Thank you, Misty and family, human and canine!”



“Pat was wonderful! I arrived at her house much later than I had planned and she was very accomodating. I know Jobba was in good hands during his stay and would not hesitate to use Pat again if I need to board my pup. Thanks Pat!”

“Devona recently had our dog for one overnight and we felt great piece of mind that he was in her care. This was especially important because it was his first overnight with a pet sitter since we adopted him in March. Our 9-year-old Charlie dog and Devona's dog Snoopy got along great and Devona took them on walks together and sent us pictures. We could also see in other pictures that she sent (all great photos) that Charlie was settled in at her place. She kept us posted about how Charlie was doing and when he exhibited some anxiety behaviors he hadn't shown with us yet in the short time that we've had him since March, we collaborated by text with her and she was able to help Charlie through the anxiety with a caring approach. She handled that curve ball so professionally and she was an excellent listener as we were texting. With her help she and I came up with some strategies and he settled in. Devona is patient and kind and knowledgeable. Any dog is lucky to be able to stay with Devona and her dear dog Snoopy.”


“This was our first time using Rover and the experience went better than we could have hoped! Our Siberian husky can get separation anxiety when boarded, so we did a meet & greet with Courtnay and our husky fell in love with her. She was completely comfortable and well taken care of. Courtnay kept us updated throughout her stay which relieved any anxiety we may have had and let us enjoy our vacation. Will definitely be booking with Courtnay again”


“Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of our newly adopted dog. She was attentive to dietary and bathroom needs, and gave plenty of walks and playtime! We are very appreciative. Thank you, Rebecca!”


“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”


“Doug was very easy to communicate with and took great care of my two pups while I was on a quick over-nighter out of town. Will definitely use again for any future dog-care needs while traveling!”


“Elaine took such great care of our little old man! She let him roam around her backyard, which he loved! She also gave him his daily medication, which isn't always easy! We loved the many updates and great pictures she sent; it really put our minds at ease. I am so grateful we found her on short notice after our scheduled sitter cancelled at the last minute. We will absolutely turn to Elaine the next time we need a sitter.”


“Katie & Pisces were very communicative throughout my dog’s whole stay. He usually has anxiety in new situations and they settled him in so nicely and by the time I picked him back up he didn’t want to leave. I can tell by how exhausted he was when we got home that he had a good time! I even added an extra day last minute due to a flight change and they were completely accommodating.”


“Emily watched my young blue heeler puppy for a couple nights, for what was pretty short notice. She was very flexible and worked with my schedule. Which was a big relief. After meeting her and her pets, I was comfortable leaving my furry child with her. With plenty of pictures, as well as activity updates, my mind was put at ease throughout my trip! My Molly was clean and happy as ever when I picked her up! I will definetly request her services in the future!”

Highland dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are sincerely so at ease leaving our old boy Dimitri (almost 13 yo!) with James. We can always trust that James will be extremely attentive while giving Dimitri the relaxing home environment that he needs. Consistently walked him twice a day, even when it was hot. Dimitri has now stayed with James two times, and when arriving the second time, he howled for joy 😊 James will absolutely be our go-to if we take another trip!

I had a great first experience boarding my dog, Ellie, with Devta for a 6-day span of time. From the first meet-up in introducing Ellie to Devta and Olive, Devta was able to create strong space for me to ask any questions that I had. She was communicative and was interested in learning about Ellie and her nuances, commands and tricks, schedule and routine, etc. During the stay, Devta sent consistent pics and updates on how Ellie was doing and was attentive to her behavior and vibe, how she was adjusting, how she was interacting with other dogs, etc.. When I ran into issues with my travel/flights, Devta was flexible and was able and willing to watch Ellie for another evening which was greatly appreciated. Ellie's transition home was incredibly smooth after her almost week-long stay, which was a tell-tale sign she did really well with Devta. Would very much recommend for boarding!

Sharee took great care of our dogs for one day, and I was delighted to have them stay again when we went out of town. Sharee probably takes better care of them than I do and is obviously an animal lover and patient. The communication was exceptional with lots of updates, so I felt like I always knew what they were up to. I would book with Sharee again.

Wašté was the best sitter we have EVER had. I’m so impressed with the love and care she gave my herd of animals. Especially my sweet Luigi, He can be a handful at times but Wašté was so amazing with him, he didn’t want to leave! I can’t sing her praises enough! She was amazing and I’ll definitely be rebooking with her again, and again, and again💖😍
