“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Kiko! Megan and Jenny were so flexible, thoughtful, and sent us lots of updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kiko was clearly in great hands — we’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“Issac and Jordan were amazing! They had great communication before and during my pup’s stay. They provided photo updates and my pup had a great time- he was sad to leave them. I would highly recommend Issac and Jordan!”
“Kelly was the best sitter that I could ask for! She went above and beyond taking care of Tori and communicating with us how Tori is doing during our whole trip. I was so relieved during the trip and did not worry at all during the travel. Kelly probably took better care of Tori than myself haha. Thank you again Kelly for all the help taking care of our doggy and Tori will be looking forward for another pawsome vacation next time when we are out of town!”
“Pablo was wonderful with my dog Tubby! He sent an update with pictures every day. Tubby is usually afraid of strangers but warmed up to him instantly. I would definitely recommend Pablo!”
“Melinda was absolutely amazing. When I dropped off my fur baby to her I knew he would be in good hands. She made sure to send me pictures to ease my anxiety I would definitely recommend her”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
“Meagan did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our 3 month old puppy when we unexpectedly needed a sitter. She helped with crate training and potty training, appropriately socialized our pup, kept her safe and well looked after, and gave us all of the updates and pictures! I could not recommend her more and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Lee did a great job from the very first meet and greet to the last pick up when we had her watch our 2 little chihuahua terrier mixes. She sent us daily photos so that we’d know they were doing well with her other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Robert and Brian are really great dog sitters for my dog Koda. He absolutely loves staying with them and has a blast going on long walks and adventures with Robert. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Dacyl just took care of my senior pit boxer mix named Dexter. She welcomed Dexter into her family like he was one of her own. Dexter has some special needs with medicine, limited vision and hearing. He was so well taken care of that he didn't even want to leave with me when I came to pick him up! When we got home he asked if he could go back!! Dexter definitely has found a special place for when we go away. Thank you Dacyl for taking such good care of our cherished boy! Elyse”
“Tara and John are amazing! We left our dog Baleia with them between Christmas and New Years and were so glad we found them. They gave us frequent updates and sent lot of pictures so we knew Baleia was having a blast. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“It’s an owner’s worst nightmare to have your pup get sick while you’re traveling. I am so grateful to Ben and his family for communicating to me when something felt off about Alfalfa and was able to immediately adjust their lives to take care of him. They cooked a new diet for him, administered medication, picked him up from the ER. Honestly wouldn’t look to anyone else.They’ve truly taken him in as part of their family. I’ve never seen Alfalfa be so excited to stay away from me. I’m a little jealous to see that he doesn’t whine for me but happy to know he’s in safe and loving hands.”
“Erika was so wonderful with Oliver! It was so nice to get pictures while we were on vacation! He had a blast and has so much fun with her! We will definitely book with Erika again! We thank you!”
“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”
“I cannot recommend Danielle enough! She was the perfect dog sitter for Nova while I was away on my bachelorette trip. Danielle went above and beyond to care for Nova, keeping me updated daily and even surprising her with a lovely dog vest. Not only did she pamper Nova, but she also gave her a bath, leaving Nova smelling amazing and with soft, fluffy fur. I truly appreciate Danielle's exceptional care and attention to detail. I would rate her 10/10 and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Sharon took great care of Cain, especially given a recent health concern that popped up for him right before we were leaving for our trip. I felt that he was comfortable and in great care!”
“We had a great experience with Alexis and her partner. Communication was great and the home environment and courtyard at their complex was perfect for our little pug. Recommended!”
“Karen and Hisako are so kind and take great care of your pup. They create engaging adventures to keep the pups happy. Echo comes home feeling and looking great!”

Ivy Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Meagan was absolutely amazing! Bless her soul, she cared for my very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer over our winter break, and while we were living it up in warm weather, she was in charge. I can only imagine that after several days of rain, with short potty breaks between the raindrops, the dogs in her care were going stir crazy. Despite the rough weather, we got excellent updates throughout our trip and fabulous photos to reassure us that our fur-baby was in great hands. She also was willing to administer medication without batting an eye. I will 100% hope to have our pup stay with Meagan again! She was fabulous.
Lee was great with my dog, Phoebe! I had only had Phoebe for about a month and a half before leaving for 2 weeks, and Lee was very gentle and accommodating to her to make her feel safe. Would highly recommend and I would definitely call on Lee again for extended stays.
Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.
Anna was as happy and healthy as the day I dropped her off! You guys did a great job with her… I now know at the next time I travel I have the confidence of leaving here in good hands. I bet she misses you guys. We should make a play date scheduled so she can see her new friends! Thank you again
Chantel was a wonderful dogsitter/boarder! She was prompt in her responses meeting up and she gave frequent photos/videos of our fur baby. She let us know about the kinds of antics Buttercup and her dog, Spartan got up to. And the two dogs became great friends! Would recommend her 100000000%!!
