Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!

This was the first time boarding our dog and this family was amazing. From the moment we met, I had nothing but good vibes and felt incredibly at ease. The updates and pictures were great and they were so communicative. We will be rebooking for sure!!!

Susan and her family were great sitters! My pup seemed so happy to stay with them, and the photos Susan shared during my trip left me feeling at ease about being away for a weekend.

Stephanie was able to watch our 10 year old Daniff on short notice, and he had the absolute best time!! He made so many new friends, but Stephanie was also great at giving him his old-man alone time! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and we will absolutely be using her again!

Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.

Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵

This was our first experience using Rover. Our dog is reactive and didn’t do well at your traditional boarding facilities. That being said, Sara is absolutely amazing. She loved and cared for Jules like she would her own dog. She sent us photos while we were away and even continued Jules’s training for us. We will definitely book with her again.

Nathen did a great job taking care of my golden retriever Stella. He’s got a cozy area in his basement where the dogs he’s taking care of can hang out with him while he works, and a good sized, fenced back yard for play.

Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!

I am extremely satisfied with the care that was provided for my dog by Kristy, and I know Bruno had an excellent time when he stayed with her over the weekend. Her and her kids were so great with him, and he was totally worn out when he got home. Not only that, but he played in the mud over his stay and they gave him a bath and got him all cleaned up, going way above and beyond my expectations. Kristy sent me pictures of my dog all weekend, so I knew he was in great hands, and having fun. I would definitely recommend Kristy if you're looking for an awesome petsitter!

Deanna is great. She replied in time for updates about my dog. He is usually a very nervous/submissive boy, but she got him confident shortly after dropping him, and her two dogs also helped by playing. Not only she does Rover, but also works for a pet adoption center so she knows what she’s doing and I never felt nervous even when this was Lonzo’s first time with her. Highly recommend her.

Ashley is amazing! This was our first time using Rover. We set up a meet-and-greet first and we knew then our dog would be in great hands. Ashley is so full of love and care for dogs! She has great communication and sent photos every day. She was cognizant of our dog’s dietary restrictions. We had a great trip knowing our dog was well taken care of by Ashley! We will definitely be using her again!

Regan was delightful! Picked my dog up right at our hotel. Kept us informed. Was flexible when we didn't know exactly when the last event would let out. Sent photos and updates on our pup and she was happy, clean, and in good spirits upon her return. Would love to use him again if we return to Kansas City.

Kristen is the best. I have a smaller 15 pound dog who loves to sit in Kristen’s window, likes walks and to snuggle on a couch. She does all that with Murphy and he adjusts well with her. She is who I always choose.

Kylie is amazing, with her being new to platform I’m sure she will gain more repeat bookings because of how well she does with pets. She did amazing with my senior baby dog and I look forward to using her again, he adapted so well she her which is hard to come across. She is very flexible, accommodating, and informative- highly recommend using someone who is a fellow dog lover and she is it!
