“Kent welcomed our little girl into his home once again and took great care of her. She felt right at home and was very comfortable. Our dog is older and has some higher needs but Kent managed them very easily, and he even sent a few pictures and notes to check in with us throughout the stay. Kent was also very responsive, flexible and easy to work with regarding drop off and pickup times. I accidentally miscommunicated my pickup time on our way back from our trip, and when I realized the error and messaged Kent he was quick to adapt to accommodate us. We very much appreciate how kind Kent is and look forward to our little one staying with him again.”
“Our mini Australian Labradoodle had a great stay with Valentina and she was so flexible when we had an unexpected change in our travel dates. She was a pleasure to work with and shared daily updates and photos of our pup while we were away. I will definitely book a stay with her again!”
“Panda our cat loves Kelly. She sends us pictures and gives us updates and we appreciate her taking care of Panda. Its our first time leaving Panda to anyone and Kelly made it very easy for us and assured us that Panda will be taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“My dog Olly had his best vacation at Allis' place. Allis was pleasant to work with, very responsive and regularly shared videos and pics of Olly too. I would love go back to her in future too and also recommend her to anyone in need.”
“Love that my dog was released outside every hour, made me feel confident that he would have a good time. Lyn was nice and considerate! She gave me honest updates while my dog boarded with her. I was pleasantly shocked when I came to pick up my dog and he looked like he came back from the salon all clean and paws trimmed, thank you so much, really made my month since I was gonna wash him myself when I picked him up and I didn't need to! Appreciate it :)”
“"We are so happy we found Sana to watch Yogi while we were away for six days over spring break! It is always a bit nerve-wracking leaving a pet for nearly a week, but we were able to relax knowing he was in such great hands. Sana was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. We received regular updates, which we really appreciated. Yogi came home happy, healthy, and well-rested. We would recommend Sana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
“This was my first time using Rover .. and was very happy with Kimberly she took great care of of my dog harly. Harly is usually pretty shy when it comes to meeting humans but with Kimberly she warmed up instantly. I can tell harly really enjoyed her stay . I will definitely be using Kimberly again . Thank you !”
“Dave was awesome with our boy Beefy. Sent plenty of pictures and updates and I could tell Beefy was well taken care of when we got him back. I would definitely use Dave again.”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Kasia stayed with our puppy Bella over the weekend and our experience was amazing! Kasia was so attentive and shared photos every day of Bella and her sweet little daughter! Kasia and her daughter played with Bella endlessly! We love that she only sits for one dog at a time! I will recommend Kasia to all of my friends! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! ?”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Bonnie took care of Annie while we were out of the country. She was super responsive to communication and sent us frequent updates while we were away. Bonnie is so sweet and we could tell that she loves dogs/animals. We would definitely ask Bonnie to watch our dog again. Thank you!”
“Amberley was an awesome sitter for our dog. She took him for long walks and texted us pictures every day of him with her dog and cat so we were not at all worried about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“I really enjoyed getting updates on my pooch while I was out of town. My dog seemed content and came home a happy pup. Thank you for watching our baby girl Maricela.”
“My sweet girls always love going to D'artagnan's! They get less anxiety the more they go there. Nike is a great companion for them as always and they had fun. This time another older pup was being boarded and they became buddies.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Liz was great! Bella was a little anxious at first, especially staying in someone else’s house, and Liz was very communicative about that concern. We got photo and video updates every day of the stay and appreciated the quick responses when we asked for updates. We don’t travel often, so it really put us at ease seeing Bella’s happy face running in the yard and knowing she was taken care of!”
Itasca dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kim is a fantastic sitter, who is very understanding of my dog's needs. She worked with him through some behavioral issues he was having in a new environment/setting. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and how to care for them. Unfortunately, her care is not the right fit for my dog, but it is no reflection of the care and support that she gave him throughout his visits. I would recommend Kim to friends and family.
From the moment we met Liz we loved her positive spirit and we could tell what a dog-lover she is. We had a good feeling about how she would care for our 12-year old quirky Shiba Inu, and we weren’t wrong! Liz was amazing. She took such good care of him, following all of his routines, including daily walks. We loved her daily photo updates. We don’t often board our dog, so her updates gave us a good sense of how he was settling in and feeling at home with her, and that was a big factor in helping us to enjoy our vacation without worry for him. And Liz went above and beyond, when Sasuke was not feeling well. She let us know right away, and when symptoms didn’t improve after a day she made an appointment with our vet, took him to the appointment, and called us to join the consultation via speaker phone. Her experience working at a vet clinic showed in the way she calmly and confidently knew just what to do to take care of Sasuke and make sure he was comfortable as he recovered. We felt so happy with Liz that we’ve already scheduled her to watch Sasuke during our next vacation.
Maricela was great with our pup! We received regular updates, generally a few times a day, with photos of their daily activities, which made being away from our little guy a little easier. She was very easy with drop off and pickup, quick to communicate and took great care of Hugo. Definitely recommend!
Great first stay for Bingo. Robert was very willing to work with Bingo to make her feel part of the pack. The daily updates showed how she was enjoying her stay and making new friends. We know Bingo will be happy and well cared for when staying with Robert, Percy and Teddy.
Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.
With very short notice, Ed was able to accommodate our request for dog care for Maisie, our Golden Retriever. We were on an 11 day cruise and throughout our trip received pictures and updates on how Maisie was doing. She is a 1 year old golden with high energy and can be a handful. Not only did Ed improve her behavior on walks, but also worked on getting her to stop jumping on everyone she meets. It was wonderful to see her play with his dog and his children. Needless to say we wondered if she would want to come home with us because of all the attention she received. We highly recommend Ed and the wonderul care that he and his family provided for our Maisie.
Arielle is wonderful! We felt lucky to find her available after our regular Rover go to was unavailable for our recent trip. Our precious pup, Beignet, had the best time and received amazing care under her, and her husband's, careful watch! Their genuine love for dogs is apparent and shines through crystal clear. Arielle also provided the best pics, and even video, to allow us the best insight into how our fur boy was doing each day! We are grateful for the service provided.
Ashley was incredible! She sent an update with pictures every evening so we knew what they were up to and gave peace of mind while missing our girl. She was so attentive to Winnie - Let us know when her ear seemed to bother her and was down to clean her ears and offered to go purchase solution if needed. She checked with us prior to be sure Winnie could have a piece of Thanksgiving turkey and even got her a special toy during her own errand run which she still carries around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Would recommend to anyone!
