“Always wonderful having Dianna watch our fur babies! Very communicative. Makes sure to keep us updated throughout their stay with pictures. Always happy and super enthusiastic with our babies. We appreciate you so much! Highly recommend‼️”
“Dana and Jason were very sweet and did a great job caring for Onyx! Dana sent lots of photos which we really appreciated. It was our first time leaving Onyx with Dana and Jason and plan on coming back!”
“This was the first rover experience that I have done where I genuinely felt no stress. They communicated with a picture everyday detailing how the dogs were doing and were so responsive. After having so many terrible experiences it was so amazing to know my two dogs were in good hands. We could never thank you enough for taking great care of Bailey & Belle.”
“With out hesitation we rebooked our Winston & Riley Bichons with Abbie & her family in their great home environment for a week of loving care. The updates, pictures gave us comfortdaily. We have already booked our next visit with Abbie.”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Henry loved every minute staying at their house!!! William and Haley sent us pictures and updates which helped to take the worry away and every picture showed Henry enjoying cuddles and fun! They were very flexible with arrival and departure, super accommodating (really only had to pack food), and the fenced in yard looked like a dream playground for any dog full of energy. I would not only highly recommend them, but we’ve found a dog sitter that we will FOR SURE use again!!!! This family is amazing and they had plenty of love to share with our pup Henry ❤️❤️”
“Patricia is lovely. She made Littel Gril forget who I was. She was treated like the princess she think's she is. Pat sent me daily updates with photos. Little Girl had a great time in the back yard and on walks. When I came to pick her up, she looked at me and I wasn't sure she wanted to go home. Definitely recommend Patricia and I will be using her again to care for our little Doggie Girl whenever we travel and cannot take her with us.”
“Angel has been great with taking care of Beanie! She’s very attentive and makes sure to keep me updated every now and then, which I really appreciate. Her communication is thoughtful, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. Overall, it’s been an amazing experience, and I feel completely at ease knowing Beanie is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“This is the 3rd time Deanna and her husband Gerald have watched our dog while we went out of town. As always, they took great care of Savannah and were very accommodating with her special needs due to a leg injury. It is obvious that they love dogs. We can't recommend them enough!”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Tammi has watched Max, our 5 year old Yorkie, several times over the past 4 years. She always does a great job with Max. Tammi has also been available on very short notice, which really was a relief. I highly recommend Tammi.”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She was very flexible with the times on drop off and pick up. Ember was happy with the long walks and nap time right next to Jenny. We were so glad our first time back on rover was made easy and delightful. Definitely going to be asking her again!”
“As always, Mike and Amanda were amazing! Moose is still sleeping because he had such a great time playing and visiting! Mike and Amanda accepted on such a last minute impromptu mini vacation, and I was thrilled to have them again! I can't wait to have them watch my boy for our summer vacation! They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”
“Eliza took such great care of our beagles!! She was more than happy to meet prior to us leaving our dogs with her just so we could know who was watching our pups and to ease some anxiety. My dogs loved her right from the start and had such a great time with her! Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“Kelly and her family were so friendly and accommodating. She sent pictures and updates through each day. Kiko got along great with her two larger dogs. We'll be using her again!”

This is the 3rd time Deanna and her husband Gerald have watched our dog while we went out of town. As always, they took great care of Savannah and were very accommodating with her special needs due to a leg injury. It is obvious that they love dogs. We can't recommend them enough!
My puppy was well looked after with Dianna E and her family. She has 2 other friendly dogs in the house that seemed to adjust to my 9 month old puppy quite quickly. Dianna sent me a picture or video almost every day which helped ease my worries. This was the first time I left my puppy with anyone so I naturally was concerned about him fitting in. She has a very large back yard and I know my dog had plenty of exercise. She is trust worthy and loves the dogs which is a must with a sitter. Thanks so much!
Erin and her kids were incredible with our dog! She stayed at their home for a week and was treated like part of the family. Erin kept us updated with photos, and it was clear she was happy, loved, and having a great time with the kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Erin again!
