“I can’t recommend Matt enough! This was the first time I’ve ever left my 15 year old pup with someone outside of family and Matt made the experience 100% stress free. He provided regular updates and made sure my pup had plenty of cuddles and attention. It was clear from the start my pup was in good hands and I felt at ease the entire time. I will definitely be using Matt again for future stays!”

“Amy and Kris went above and beyond for our fur baby, Dexter! We were a bit nervous as he hasn't done a lot of doggy daycare, but Amy worked really hard to make Dexter feel comfortable and right at home. She sent us detailed updates with photos, which really helped my anxiety, and it was great to see Dexter clearly having a great time. I would 100% recommend leaving your fur babies in Amy and Kris's care!”


“Cyndi was great! We are picky about who we leave our dog with as she is sweet but can be a challenge with her being a rescue. Our dog took to Cyndi right away and we knew she would be happy in her home. Cyndi took our dog on many walks and kept us informed which was comforting. We would not hesitate to use Cyndi again for future dog boarding when needed.”
“Julie really put me at ease and payed attention to details. I appreciated the way she introduced Nacho to her house and her cats, it showed she cared. I also really liked that she kept in contact via pics and messages. Nacho will definitely be staying with Julie again! ”
“Jeff was great to work with! He responded quickly to all messages and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He provided daily photo or video updates and Carmen felt good when she got home. We will definitely request him again!”

“Nicole kept us up to date with pictures and letting us know Maui was comfortable and at peace. We loved how she worked with us on our return and was especially ready when we arrived. Thank you again Nicole, Maui really enjoyed you this weekend!”

“Danielle was awesome! She accommodated me pretty last minute when travel plans changed and made it super easy to schedule a meet and greet. Her dogs were well-behaved and played great with my dog. She was super communicative while I was gone and accommodating with pickup. Amazing sitter and I’ll definitely be using her again!”

“From the moment we dropped our pup off at her home, we felt completely at ease. She’s warm, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. While we were traveling, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and little notes about how our dog was doing—which made us feel so connected and reassured. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly kind-hearted to care for your pet, look no further. She’s a gem!”

“Carolina was absolutely wonderful! I’m usually nervous about leaving my fur baby with someone new, but she quickly put my mind at ease. She sent me daily pictures and updates, took him on plenty of walks, and kept me informed about his feeding schedule. He also loved having her dog as a little playmate! Carolina was not only professional but also incredibly kind, and it was clear my pup felt comfortable with both her and her husband. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and content. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Grace is amazing! She took wonderful care of Boogie and sent us tons of pics of our lil guy! Communicative and friendly — I had such great peace of mind while we were away and knew he was in good hands. Boogie came back a happy dog :-) Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Amy and her family were great as usual! They watched my pup while I was gone for 2 weeks out of the country during the holidays. Even bought him a little Xmas present! Thank you for taking such great care of him :)”


“Amanda did an amazing job of taking care of my dog for a week. I have a small dog that recently went blind and Amanda was very well versed in taking care of older dogs and dogs with disabilities. Her house is well set up for taking care of older/disabled dogs and communications with her were always instant. Amanda is also an incredibly nice and personable person in general. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a dog sitter.”

“Happy New Years, We can’t thank you enough for always taking Fabulous care of Raven, sending pics and being so flexible. We are so grateful to have found you. When we go away we are never worried or stressed. You are simply amazing, words can’t begin to convey. The joy of knowing your dog is in great hands. Thanks for being so amazing.”

“Lauren is AMAZING. My dog is so old and she made so many accommodations for her to make sure she was comfortable. She kept me updated with photos and I just knew she was in great hands. Will absolutely be booking again with Lauren in the future!”

“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”

John Marshall dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristin was so amazing and I couldn't recommend her more! She took care of my 10 year old Shiba Inu this weekend, and was so communicative, easy going and kept me updated through the weekend. My pup came home happy and I know that she enjoyed her weekend with Kristin and her sweet Boston Terrier, Finn! I look forward to leaving Gigi with Kristin again in the future, knowing that my beloved dog is well taken care of.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Aimee! She is super friendly, professional, and clearly a dog lover. While we were away, Aimee kept us updated with pictures, which made us feel good about being gone. It was clear our dog was getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. When we came home, Maverick was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. Highly recommend Aimee to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Katharine took care of Susie for almost 3 weeks while we were out of town. Our 13 year old dog has had some back problems so cannot handle stairs very well. Katharine's house is great because there are no stairs to go outside to the fenced backyard. And Katharine carried her to the upstairs when needed. We received pictures and a note every couple of days while we were gone so we could see how Susie was doing. We felt good about how Katharine cared for Susie.
