“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.”
“Hailey does an Amazing job with Benji. He loves it whenever he can visit. She is very professional and gives exceptional service whenever we book. If you are looking for a trustworthy caregiver for your pet she is the best!”
“Very communicative and flexible. Kept us updated the entire stay with videos and pictures without us having to ask. Would highly recommend this sitter for your fur babies she treats them like they’re her own!”
“Simon loved staying with Dana! Dana sent pictures throughout Simons stay and made sure to answer any questions we had. It was a home away from home for Simon. I would book again and I highly recommend!”
“We had to leave our new puppy for a week and she is not house broken yet. We were so glad Deana was available and able to watch her. She is the best! She sent updates to us regularly. We know our puppy had a fantastic time and was well cared for. We will absolutely use Deana again and would recommend her to everyone. She has the most ideal setup for your dogs!!”
“Kelti and Tanner took great care of Percy for a week! You can tell he was enjoying himself from the pictures they sent. Even when I had to reschedule our meet and greet, they were very gracious and found another time for us to meet up. Also, they have some great pups that my dog enjoyed playing with! I would highly recommend booking with them.”
“Ruth was amazing! She is caring, conscientious, and really took great care of our dog Charlie. We really felt comfortable having Charlie stay with her. Thanks so much, Ruth! Jim and Joni Fox”
“Amanda and Mike are awesome!! They truly care about your fur babies when you are away and treat them as their own. I did not worry one bit while my girl was with them. I have found my new fur babysitter!”
“Tammi did an outstanding job with our two dogs-a very active 4 yr old Cardigan Welsh Corgi and an 11 yr old Pocket Beagle who takes thyroid meds twice a day. We travel frequently, but this was the first time our dogs didn't stay at home with our usual pet sitter, as she wasn't available; so having someone we could trust was super important. We met Tammi a few days before our trip and found her to be very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about dogs and very loving to her current boarders, as well as her own four dogs she has rescued. Her home is an ideal location with a fenced property of 3+acres, a spacious deck with dog beds, a ramp and ample water bowls. She even had a kiddie pool filled with water so the dogs could cool off while playing. Inside, she has a great set up, with areas gated off as needed on one floor. Our dogs aren't typically crated and I loved that they weren't crated at Tammi's. We were encouraged to bring their dog beds, which they slept on, just like home. Tammi sent us pictures of our pups throughout the weekend and they were obviously enjoying themselves. When we returned home, they slept. Hard. It was clear that they had been active, which made us very happy. I can't say enough good things about Tammi and her husband. Our dogs got attention, socialized with other dogs, were carefully supervised and loved on. What a relief to know they didn't spend their weekend crated with only 3-4 scheduled potty breaks in a run. These folks love dogs and it shows. We will be back! I'm looking at my calendar now to book future trips!”
“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!”
“Emily was amazing. We just got our pup less than a week before a family vacation. She was very accommodating helping potty train him, and teaching him commands. She sent pictures/ vidoes and updates daily. I was worried our pup wouldn't want to come home he was so happy. He was having so much much fun and was able to run and play. He was freshly bathed when we picked him up. Emily even accommodated a early drop off. I was completely pleased with the experience and felt comfortable on our trip. Our pup was in the best hands. Would definitely use her again in the future. I'm sure our puppy would agree and be happy to visit again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Angel always treats our girl wonderfully. She is accommodating, responsive, caring and keeps us informed of how our sweet old lady pup is doing during her stay. We have sent our girl to Angel three times now and it won't be the last.”
“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”
“Eliza took on our dogs on a short notice on a holiday week . And was AMAZING!!!! She sent us updates and pictures of our dogs and took great care of them. We highly recommend and will use 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!
