“Rachelle loved our dog like her very own while we were away on vacation! She cared for her so well, in fact, we’re going to have to step up our game now that we have our baby back home! 😊 Our dog also has a new best friend in Rachelle’s dog Sassy-a sweet, gentle, hospitable dog friend. Highly recommend Rachelle!”
“We were visiting Kentucky on vacation and she took care of our puppy for two days. She was incredibly kind, responded quickly to our messages, and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. We highly recommend her!”
“Milo stayed with Laura for the first time and it seems like he had a great time! She was great about sending updates on how Milo was doing and acclimating to his new environment. We know Milo has a safe, comfortable place to stay!”
“Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Glad we met Johangely! Highly recommend. We were provided regular updates and photo's each day, including videos. It soon became clear our pet was in a safe and comfortable place. Regular walks, feeding, and playtime! Our minds were at ease knowing all was ok while we were away. Thank you!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Jessica and her husband were amazing! Left our babies with them for a week while we went to visit family, and they regularly updated us/checked in. Will 100000% use them in the future if the opportunity comes up! 🔝”
“Karen took great care of my 75 lb dog! He has a lot of energy and clearly had a great time at Karen’s since he slept all day when he got back. I would definitely recommend Karen for watching your fur baby.”
“She was a great sitter very affirmative sent photos kept in contact, transportation issue arises and she was very accommodating and kept him another night i highly recommend Payton as your next dog sitter”
“Matthew was amazing. I’ve only had Oakley for two weeks and am still getting to know his habits, on top of the fact that he is already 85 lbs, but none of that bothered Matthew. He sent daily pictures and confirmed that all was going well. He is very relaxed and Oakley got along very well with his three dogs. Matthew has a very large backyard and a 100’ lead that was great for Oakley since he loves to just lay outside. I highly recommend Matthew and will be using him again.”
“Cori and her family treated dreamer like family. She had a great time there and was spoiled. It was my first time using her and she kept me informed with pictures and videos. I would definitively use her again.”

Independence pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
Destiny did a great job with my kitty Lia, though on the third day it took an unexpected turn (not destiny’s fault in the slightest) my kitty is very skiddish even when I got her and that causes Lia to get into a hard to reach area where it took days for her to come out, thanks to destiny’s dedication and patience my kitty came out the day I was supposed to pick her up. She was well fed and got to socialize with other kitties, and I also got an update every morning and evening which was very nice, thank you destiny for such an amazing job with Lia.
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!
