“Daily pics or video of our boy living his best life away from home. Would completely use Heather and her family again in the future. Zeus was excited to get home, and promptly assumed his usual position relaxing on our couch after he went outside. 100% recommend!”
“Melissa and family were great. Perfect location for me and Winnie had a blast. The daily pics let me know he was in great hands! I am glad I found Melissa and will use her again and again.”
“Melissa did an amazing job! I would recommend her to anyone! My pup was well taken care of and loved the whole time she was there! Our dog has never been watched out of her home so for her first time ever going somewhere like this Melissa made my dog feel right at home and part of the family!”
“Denise and her family took excellent care of Pete! She sent lots of pics to keep us updated the whole week. He loved his stay and playtime with their dog, Perry ?. He seriously can't stop smiling...lol. We definitely recommend Denise for dogsitting!”
“Holly and her family are the best thing that could've happened to our 2 pups when we went on vacation! They truly treat them like they are part of their own family, and we received updates and pictures every day. We appreciate them so much for taking such good care, and we'll definitely be using Holly again for pet sitting. 1,000/5 stars!!! ❤️”
“We loved working with Kimberly. She watched our dog for the first time and suggested a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit with her own dog. We loved that and it made us trust her from the start. When we met her, Kimberly asked us many questions about our dog that made us feel like she would take very good care of her. Also, Kimberly’s home is quite literally the perfect set up for dogs. We know that our dog loved staying there and we enjoyed the updates Kimberly sent us throughout her stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Mary was amazing!! My dog does not normally like new people but he loved Mary and she took great care of him. I even had to book last minute because of a funeral. I was able to be fully present with my family at our time of loss because my dog was so well cared for. Thanks Mary!!”
“Our pup was so happy to be at Breanna and Olivia’s! He loved playing with their dogs. I appreciated all the photos that were shared during his stay. It was clear he was well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Kaylyn did a fantastic job watching our huskies! She took the time to make sure she understood them and their needs and kept us updated throughout their stay. We can't wait to book with her again!”
“Angela was amazing and went above and beyond for our pups. I felt comfortable from the moment I met her & she took excellent care of our 2 little dogs for 10 nights in her home during a historic blizzard. She still took them for walks & sent us updates throughout our trip. She was very accommodating with drop off & pick up times & I would absolutely use her again!”
“Kristal did an awesome job taking care of our 'baby" and making her feel at home while we were out of state for a wedding. She kept us up on how Shasta was doing & sent pictures each day. It was good to see how she had found her favorite spot in their home & also enjoyed their outside fenced-in yard. Since they no longer have a dog of their own & only take in one boarder at a time, she had more attention than some days at home! We would definitely take her to Kristal again.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Jeri while I was out of town. She shared updates and photos on how things were going and attended to my dogs needs. Feeling confident your pet is in good hands makes all the difference. Will plan to book with her again!”
“Colleen was amazing with our senior dog Max! He can be a nervous Nelly in new situations but she was able to settle him. Colleen seems very kind, has a genuine love for animals and seems patient! Highly recommend!”
“I absolutly love Alex and her husband. They are very flexible and are wonderful with my boy. They have always welcomed him with open arms and are so easy and a joy to work with. I love getting pictures and updates while I am away and can always trust my boy will have a great time. It's also always a joy to see their two dogs. I know my dog is safe and happy with Alex while I am away.”
“Olivia took care of our dog, Nix for a week. She did an awesome job and sent many pictures and updates. Nix had a great time, she had plenty of exercise and was considered one of the family. I would not hesitate to use Olivia again in the future. Thank you Olivia '!”
Howard dog parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Kay and Austin. Oscar has separation anxiety and this was his first time away from home. Kay and Austin made sure Oscar got lots of attention, including play and lap time (which he loves). Kay even put a chair next to her as she worked, since her laptop was occupying her lap and Oscar wanted to be closer to her than the floor. Kay and Austin’s dogs are very gentle and sensed how much Oscar wanted to interact with them. Oscar appears to be calmer from his positive experience away from home.
Shanna is amazing. My dog is very attached to me but when we get to her house he goes right in and loves to play with his friends. She takes great care of him and sends me lots of pictures and updates. We’ve used her for several extended vacations and she always so flexible with our timing and communication. We appreciate her and couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Heather was amazing! They were available with short notice and very flexible with pick up and drop off which was very appreciated as they were watch our dog for our wedding weekend and our timeline changed a bit! Ella had a fantastic time which we saw through photos and video! I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to any of our friends and family.
