“Manami was absolutely amazing with our Labrador. She gave her the exercise and attention that she requires. She gave us updates and pictures, we couldn’t be more pleased with her care!”
“Brenda and Alvin were the perfect fit our dog. We feel lucky to have found them on Rover. They are former dog owners and clearly enjoy them. The daily photo’s they sent and text updates left us at ease, able to enjoy our vacation without worry. We’ll definitely reach out again.”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Kyle and his pup Coco were great weekend companions for our energetic Golden. Our kids loved seeing the photo update. Easy to work with, great communication. Recommend.”
“This is our second booking with Cassandra & Eric and their sweet daughters. Nothing is better than knowing you found a kind & nice family to care for your own pet. Mochi is always happy & tired from the care and attention that he gets with this nice family. As always Thank You Very Much and we shall see you again :)”
“Shreya and her family took great care of our dog! He is high energy and anxious and we were grateful for the patience and care they provided! We would forsure have our dog there again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Beth and Evan took great care of our big guy (100 lb Lab mix) over the holidays. They treated him like he was their own. Would definitely have him stay with them again.”
“Kristen helped ease some of my anxiety after having to leave our newly rescued pup for a few days. She provided pictures and updates and Gus seemed to have a wonderful time!”
“Promise is very friendly and caring for dogs. We had a meet and greet before the actual boarding. She really took time to make sure that Aka feels not nervious at her place. She also sends pictures of Aka every day! She is amazing! I truly appreciate her!! At the end of the 5 day boarding period, Aka was cuddling with her dogs Diego and Gizmo! It was so cute to watch them becoming good friends!! Will defintely come back and book again!!”
“Kiersa did a great job. Boodles was a bit anxious when we left but she was able to settle her down. When it was time for Bed, Boodles didn't want to leave sight of the front door and so Kiersa snuggled in and slept with Boodles on the couch. We will use her again, she’s very sweet”
“Regan is amazing! We received pictures and updates every day that our dog stayed with her. She took him for walks, brought him outside a lot to play, and gave him lots of cuddles. We were so happy to see how well taken care of our dog was at the end of our trip!”
“Olive didn’t want to leave Vanessa and Andrew (& the kids)! She seemed to have a very good time and found a good routine. They sent daily pics when I asked for them. All went great!! Thanks so much! I had a lot of anxiety but feel so much better now knowing she’s in good hands.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Emily! I booked her last minute, and she went above and beyond in every way. She walked my dog daily, sent tons of updates and photos, and truly treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such caring hands. I will absolutely be booking with her again—anyone would be lucky to have Emily watch their dogs!”
“Maureen watched our 2 dogs while we were on vacation (7 nights) and treated them like they were her own. I really appreciated the ease of communication with her, her friendliness, and the amount of pictures she sent while we were gone. Our dogs came home exhausted and happy - we will absolutely use her in the future and recommend her to others.”
“Leza was awesome! The entire process was perfect. She is great about communicating, sending pictures and messages about how our dog was doing. She is very passionate about pets and enjoys being active with them and just getting to know our baby. I highly recommend Leza!”
Independence pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.
