“John is an excellent sitter! I can’t say enough good things about him. He took such good care of our dog, sent twice daily updates, and provided lots of walks and enrichment activities for him while we were out of town. We know our boy Lu enjoyed his stay!”


“Jody took amazing care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced in yard for pups to hang out and explore. She provided over the top service feeding my pups eggs when they wouldn’t eat their food and providing a fan for when they came back inside from running around. She was a delight to deal with from start to finish and sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend her!! Thanks again Jody!”


“Henry and Cheryle aren't just dog sitters, they are truly dog people. As an anxious dog mom who wishes I could take my pup everywhere, sometimes you just can't and need to find trustworthy care. Henry and Cheryle were recommended by another rover sitter who was unavailable and I'm so glad to have met them. They provide a loving home and became grandparents to Silas. He slept with them, went on long walks, and I was sent updates throughout his stay. I was immediately put at ease with their quick responses to messages and the updates they sent throughout Silas's stay. When it was time to pick him up, he ran and jumped on each of them as if to say THANK YOU for taking such great care of him.”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Frenchie while we were at the beach! Shannon treated him like one of her own—spoiled him with love, kept us updated with the sweetest photos, and made sure he was happy, safe, and snuggled. Knowing he was in such caring hands made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip. She’s truly the best, and we’re so grateful for the amazing care she gave our pup!”


“I cannot say enough about Paula. We were traveling from out of state and Paula was so flexible with the time of pick up and drop off. I felt a good energy from her messages, home, and little pup right away. We have had our fair share of lousy dog sitters and this is the first time i have felt inclined to write a review. Paula communicated with me more than any other dog sitter ever has. I never had to wonder what my pups were up to or if they were safe. We will absolutely link up with Paula again!”


“Charlotte is always so good. We have used her several times for long weekends, daycare, etc.. She communicates with us and sends us lots of pictures which I love. I couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Emily took absolute EXCELLENT CARE of our sweet pup! We were very nervous to leave our new puppy while out of town, but after reading Emily's reviews, we thought it may be okay. Emily was so kind to have us over for a puppy play date so we would feel comfortable with our pup staying there for a week. Immediately, our dog felt right at home! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Her fenced in yard is perfect for lots of outdoor play, and her home is set up ideally for caring for dogs. While we were out of town, she responded quickly to my messages asking about how he was doing, and we so appreciated all the updates and pictures. I can tell he had a blast, and we are so happy to have found Emily on Rover! We definitely recommend her, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you!”


“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”


“Mallory and her husband are very nice, and very flexible. She will take a picture of my dog and text to me. My dog had fun staying with them. Will definitely recommend Mallory as your dog sitter.”


“Thia was my first time using Rover and Donna made the process very easy. She was helpful, responsive, and provided updates and pictures throughout my dog's stay. She treated my furbaby like her own. I will definitely be using her service again and recommend her to anyone”


“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”



“Maus came back a happy and healthy girl. Crystal worked with me on last minute date changes and made a difficult time so much easier for me. Very quick to respond and lots of pictures”


“This was my first time using Rover. Marah was very nice, extremely patient with me, and my girls, Lucy and Sophie were very happy staying with her. She sent me many photos during their stay. I am very happy with her service!”


“Denna and her husband were absolutely amazing! They took in my Maltipoo on short notice, and took great care of him. They have officially become my go-to sitters. I got updates everyday, photos and videos and just felt very comfortable and safe leaving biscuit in their hands. My dog also got along really well with their dogs, which was a big plus! Overall, they’re great dog sitters but also genuinely great people. I’m so glad I found them!”


“Melissa was wonderful! Our elderly dog really enjoyed his stay with her. She was very accommodating. Buddy needed a little extra TLC and that's exactly what he received. We will certainly use Melissa again if she is available.”


“Our first time having Ashley and family board our puppy and we are happy. Our puppy, Luna, was very happy there and got a lot of playing in and slept very well on our way to Northern VA. We will repeat when in town next. She communicates well with us before and during visit. Looking forward to Luna having some more fun at their house.”


“Zeke had a wonderful stay with Rebecca! He was well cared for and comfortable being there. She took awesome care of him and I felt really good about him staying there. She kept me updated with pictures and notes. I will be using her services again!”


“Janet was wonderful! This was the first time I've left our chocolate lab with someone we didn't know. She had a great time at doggie day camp, playing with her dogs, lots of walks, including to the creek, and treats galore! We are grateful to have found someone who will love our girl and take such good care of her while we are gone.”
