“Bonni was wonderful and we would recommend her to everyone. Our fur baby, Nippet, was so well taken care of and had a great time! Thank you, Bonni!”


“We couldn't be happier with the love and care Maellen provided to our little shih tzu 🥰 we received daily updates, pictures, and videos. We will definitely be repeat customers in the future.”


“Gene watched my dog Marlin overnight and he had a great time! He is a nervous dog that takes a few medications so it means a lot to me that someone is willing to watch him and do a great job. Thanks Gene!”


“Jenny was absolutely fantastic. We just moved to New Mexico and of course were nervous about leaving our puppy with a new sitter but Jenny made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She made sure to have a meet and greet first where her wonderful dogs could meet our Lola. Jenny's children are also wonderful and clearly love the dogs that come into her home. Jenny listened to all of our instructions, sent us great photos and kept us updated while we were away. Lola came back incredibly happy and healthy! I would highly recommend Jenny and her family and Lola certainly looks forward to spending more time their house!”


“Onrae was great. We left Ansel with him for just over a week and it really let us relax knowing he was in good hands. He sent several updates and pictures and was always quick to respond to messages and questions. He did a great job in trying to keep a good routine for the dog, and it seemed like Ansel loved playing with the kids and having a new environment to explore! Will definitely be looking to call him again in the future for our pet care needs!”


“My dog was clearly SO happy at Holly and Robert’s (haven’t seen him smile like that in a while!), and I will absolutely be booking them again!”



“Debbie is a wonderful dog person! Quick response, flexible, daily updates, daily walks, I was assured that my dog was having a blast while I was away! Additionally, her Labradors are super friendly and awesome playmates with my dog. She treated my dog as family. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend to anyone else.”



“Another great stay! Pat is always so considerate in accommodating our drop off and pick up times. Sandy knows as soon as i pull up where she is and cant wait to get out of the car! Sandy is our 10 yr old Lab - has some health issues - diabetic - and i really appreciate the amount of knowledge and care she gives our girl. Pat fully understands her need for consistant eating times, insulin shots, her need for special help going down stairs outside. She watches her carefully and called to alert me that she was showing sign of possible UTI - she was correct and treated immediately. Sandy loves the attention and enjoys the little dogs that like to run around , up, over and around her! Sandy is now more of an observer than a participant - but fully enjoys the fun. Thank you Pat for making us feel so comfortable when we are away -we can relax when she is with you....i really appreciate the love and kindness you give your guests. ”


“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.”


“She loved my dog like he was family. I was hospitalized for 44 days and she sent updates with texts and pictures. I was even able to set up zoom meeting to see my dog at one point in my recovery. Alexandria is so kind and even let me hug her and thank her for being like family to myself and my dog when I picked him up on day 44. I could go on all day about how wonderful she, her husband, and her kids were to my dog. I am so happy that I knew he was in good hands while I was away for such a long period of time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alexandria for short or long stays. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”


“We will only ever use Courtnay to watch our doggie. She is just so amazing and sends so many pictures and videos. Pixel is always a happy spoiled camper when she watches him. So grateful to have found her!”


“Elaine and her two little doggies are so sweet and caring. Elaine took an absolutely good care of my dog and cared for her like me if not more...I received daily photos with lovely notes. I have no doubt that Biber enjoyed her time very much and loves to return to spend more time with Elaine’s family in future. Biber sufferers from separation anxiety but she felt very much home this time being taken care of by Elaine that I could tell when I picked her up right away that her stay this time was different. Thank you Elaine!”


“We had to choose a different dog sitter right before our trip and Doug was available short notice. He took good care of Cody and we would definitely recommend him!”


“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!”


“James did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Luna! Even though it was her first time with him and she was a bit more excited than usual, he handled her so well. I ran late picking her up, and James was incredibly kind and understanding about it. Thank you, James, for your excellent care and patience! Highly recommend!”


“Truly awesome couple...our girl had rhe best time, heaps of outings and 2 new dogs to add to her gang!! So reasuring to know she was getting heaps of attention and lovies...best people ever!!! Lots of fotos and videos to reassure us she was having the best time. Enormous thanks...”


“DEVONA.IS.THE.BEST! My trip was stress free as I knew Dixie was in the best hands. The photos & videos Devona sent, assured me that Dixie was having a vacation as well. Devona was very flexible in drop off and pick up times & I even got a cleaner and nicer smelling dog back, then the one I dropped off. Thank you so much Devona for taking such loving care of Dixie.”


“Alex was AMAZING with Ziggy and Zane and took wonderful care of my babies! He stayed in communication with me updating me on them and checking in with me while I was away! I will definitely book Alex again, especially since my boys were comfortable around him and his dogs! He provided them toys, companionship, and cuddles while I wasn’t able too! I truly appreciate everything he’s done for me babies! 🥰”


“Emily is totally awesome! I had a bit of apprehension as my dog is a 2 yr. Malinois and requires a LOT of activity but after a ‘meet & greet’ and a short trial run she went above & beyond my expectations! She has a GSD the same age , Jasper, which helps a lot also. Her yard is immaculate also which was a plus. In the future I will always use Emily! I feel fortunate to have found her! I even arrived really late from the airport due to issues with United Airlines and she was very gracious!”


“Maggie is a gem! I can tell she took great care of my pup, Archie. He also had the best time playing with hers! I was thrilled to see she has an enclosed yard for them to roam around. Clear communication. Super friendly. Will absolutely book with her again! ?”

Highland dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

Benjamin takes such good care of our baby! He stays in contact and sends pictures daily. All the photos he sends show that she is having a wonderful time.

Emily was awesome! She has a fun and exciting home when we were away. Other dogs to play with and plenty of toys and stimulation. Emily is smart and flexible. I would definitely board with her again

Another wonderful stay with Courtnay! I especially appreciated her great care of my fur baby over a holiday weekend 💙

Misty provided great care for our two dogs for their six day stay. An initial, no-charge meet and greet was held for her to watch the dogs for any concerning signs, and discuss care. She sent photos and comments on the dogs while we were away, and introduced valuable dog socialization when she felt our dogs were ready for it. We’re looking forward to signing-on with Misty again as travel comes up.

We got a happy and healthy pup back after a week stay with Joshua. His communication is great, definitely recommend!

Absolutely perfect, as usual! Sky had a great time and got lots of love. Jessie is great with our pets and keeps us updated while we're gone. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Alex was awesome! He was very response and sent pictures and videos of my dog while my husband and I were on our trip. We would definitely use him again!

I was lucky to be able to book Devona for the second time. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a 23 day vacation, was cut short by a fall that I took. Devona was very gracious about having to cut the trip short and even brought my dog to my house as I could not drive. Devona is the best.!

My 15yr old bichon, Jake had a wonderful time staying with James. He is a true dog lover with lots of special attention. Jake had a great stay. I will hope James is available the next time I need a dog sitter.

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.

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!

Peter was a great sitter - he was in touch daily with updates and amazing photos of our dog hanging out at home and on adventures during their walks around town. Our pup was missing us for the first few days, but with Peter's patience and care he was happily part of the pack with Peter's dogs by the time we returned.

Truly awesome couple...our girl had rhe best time, heaps of outings and 2 new dogs to add to her gang!! So reasuring to know she was getting heaps of attention and lovies...best people ever!!! Lots of fotos and videos to reassure us she was having the best time. Enormous thanks...

Sabrina was amazing!! My dog absolutely loved her and staying at her home. Sabrina provided a lot of pictures and videos and did a great job with administering my dog’s daily medication! I definitely recommend Sabrina if you are looking for a sitter!
Sage did a wonderful job taking care of Ody. He’s an anxious dog with some quirks, but Sage was very accommodating and made sure he was comfortable during his stay!

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💖😍

Carmen loves hanging out with Ruth! Ruth also always sends a Carmen of pictures and updates to keep me updated through the trips. She’s flexible, easy to work with, and takes great care of Carmen :)!
