“The "happy dogs" enviroment Miriam has created is perfect for our very social Husky Keesha and her playmates. Each stay is like an extra long playdate for her. Now it will take a full day of sleeping it off for her to recuperate. Excellent!!”

“Ron is a wonderful friend to our dog. He is kind and calm and our dog loves him. We simply could not, would not leave him with anyone else. Ron has made a huge impact on all of us.”


“Water and John are incredibly kind and helpful, and they truly care deeply for animals. There isn’t a better place for my dog to be when we have to be away.”

“Shawna and Ethan are amazing. They are both clearly "dog people" and make sure Rocky has a great time every time she stays with them. They also send me pictures to make sure I'm up to date with how much fun Rocky is having with them and their two adorable dogs. Highly recommend.”

“Loren was amazing and put some of my anxiety at ease with our high energy aussie. She sent daily recaps and pictures of our dogs. It looked like they had a wonderful time and were so happy/tired when picked up. She communicates quickly with any questions/concerns. Would love to have our dogs stay with her again!”

“She was amazing! We had a meet & greet beforehand that went well and she sent multiple updates on our doggies. Talking to Christina feels like you're talking to a friend even though we only met twice lol. Would totally recommend!”

“My dog is really shy, so I was a little worried at first, but he did amazingly well with Stephanie 💕 She was so flexible when we had a sudden schedule change and needed to add two more nights. Getting photos every day really reassured me and I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend her 👍🏻👍🏻”


“Highly recommend Kay as a dog sitter! She exudes confidence, and I like that she has years of experience raising dogs. She also has a backyard and spacious home conducive to dog sitting. I am completely comfortable with her caring for my dog and would use her services again.”


“We had a wonderful experience with shelia. Our dogs really loved their stay and were very comfortable with Sheila and her family. We even have one rescue who can be difficult with men and by the end of their stay he was best buddies with Sheila’s husband. So nice to have sitters we can trust with our little furry loved ones.”

“Sylvie took a wonderful care of my dog, Oliver. She sent me many video clips of him through out his stay. I could see that he was so relaxed and enjoying her company and new doggie friends, very different from how he was at other boarding places. My Oliver had a great vacation at Sylvie’s house. : )”

“Dave is amazing! Our dog is super high energy and takes twice daily meds. Dave has taken care of him twice and he comes home happy, healthy, and calm! He is awesome about sending pictures and updates. He is obviously very experienced with dogs and you can tell he genuinely enjoys hanging out with them. He is the BEST!”

“Marshall had great time with Regina and her husband Michael! He got to go to the dog park, go on walks and sleep on the bed with them and their dog Zoey! It’s not easy for me to leave my furry friend behind and Regina made me feel at ease with pictures and that he was fitting in just fine!! I would definitely use them again!”


“Tyson and Cameron were awesome! Great environment for my dog. He had so much fun with their animals and enjoyed the pool. I'll definitely use them again. Communication was great and they were flexible when I had a travel delay.”

“Christina and her dog were so pleasant and took very good care of my two Chihuahuas. I even had to call and extend my trip for an extra day and she very kindly worked that out for me. She sent me photos of all three dogs having fun, and that was great! I would recommend her without reservation!”

“Vicky was amazing and helped us last minute with watching our Blue and Foxy. Foxy has glaucoma and Vicky gave Foxy all her needed medications and loved our pups as if they were her own. We will definitely book with Vicky again in the future!! Thank you for being so nice and helpful!”

“Truly the best dog sitter I have ever experienced. She is clearly experienced in dog training and care. My high energy dog can be a lot to care for and he absolutely had the best time of his life!!! I don’t think I’ll be using another sitter!”

“Carina and Santiago were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Tucker and Buster. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. They made me feel completely at ease while I was away for almost two days. I could tell my pups were happy, well-loved, and in great hands the entire time. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave, it meant the world to me. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for sitters who truly go above and beyond. Thank you both so much!”

“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”

Houghton dog parents share their Rover experiences
This wasn’t Ken’s first stay here, and there’s a reason we keep coming back! They take such great care of him and genuinely treat him like part of the family. He always has a great time, comes home happy and tired, and I never have to worry while he’s here. They are kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend them and will absolutely book with them again. Thank you!! 😊

Stephanie was amazing - I couldn’t bring my (2) 9 week puppies across the country so I handed them over to her for ten days! Daily updates and pictures put my family and I at ease. When I picked the girls up, she bathed them, had them in bandanas and even gave us to-go treat bags. I highly recommend Stephanie should you be in need of her services!

Jan was a fantastic! She was very attentive watching my Golden Retriever overnight, sending me some wonderful photos and letting him swim in her pool. Jan cares very much about the pets she brings into her home and ensures that they are comfortable. She was also very responsive as we set up our initial meet and greet and subsequent dog sitting. I highly recommend Jan if you are looking for a top notch Rover!

Kaley and Taylor were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly accommodating, flexible, and kind throughout the entire experience. After having a difficult situation with a previous sitter, we were very nervous, but they were so compassionate and reassuring. They truly cared about making sure not only our pups felt comfortable, but that we did too. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such great hands. Kaley went above and beyond by sending frequent photos and updates, which we really appreciated. Our pups clearly had the best time! They were showered with love, cuddles, and attention from both Kaley and Taylor, as well as their sweet kiddos. We are so grateful we found them and will definitely be booking with them again!

Great experience with Rhoda and Grant! We are extremely pleased and hope they will be there for our future pet sitting needs. They took great care of Zoe, walked her on a regular basis, allowed flexibility when I threw them a curve ball, and sent pic's/updates daily. EASY to recommend Rhoda & Grant!!! Thanks again for your great service! pmc
