“Brent and his fur 'boys' General and Marshall were fabulous host for my little Laksi. He was caring, responsive, and all were very playful. Brent sent videos and lots of pictures of him walking my dog upon my requests and was consistent everyday. Laksi and I had a great experience. I would recommend his services to anyone and I will look forward to choosing him for my next pet sitter needs.”
“I felt confident knowing that my dog and cat were safe and sound. I got regular updates with photos each day. She was able to accomodate both my cat and dog which was very helpful. I would recommend her and I would use her again.”
“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“Susan did such a wonderful job with my dog, Remy! Remy can be a little shy/nervous, but Susan and her family provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home, and I feel absolutely comfortable leaving Remy with them! She sent pics while I was away at training of their walks and snuggle time and provided updates for his interactions with everyone else in the house. She is great and we look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Rachel is great! Aggie stayed with Rachel for 6 nights and came home happy and calm. I appreciated all the photos, it looked like Aggie settled in with the other dogs and had a great schedule of walks, cuddles and play time.”
“Jennifer and her husband were fabulous! I received updates and pictures daily which I loved! They had a very nice home and wonderful backyard for my pup to roam. Will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Ciara and her family were great with Stout, he seemed to make himself right at home when I dropped him off. I received updates frequently, and Stout even made new dog friends! I hope to book with her in the future!”
“First time leaving my dogs in 2 years and from the text and pictures they enjoyed their time at Nathan’s. He kept in contact with me throughout the week with complete updates and he allowed me to pick them up before the appointed time. It’s hard to leave my girls but Nathan was wonderful to them.”
“Christine takes great care of my 2 dogs every time. When they stay with her, they get to hang out with her kids and dogs so it's a mini vacation for them. I trust her to make sure they get fed and get to spend plenty of time outside, so it's money well spent!”
“This was our 2nd time with Adaline, and we went on a much longer trip. We were at ease even being overseas knowing her and her husband were taking great care of Squirrel.”
“My Mushu is always happy to stay with Griffin and Gloria. They take such good care for my dog and always send us updates on how she's doing. They were gracious and flexible over an earlier drop-off time because my time to leave town for a conference got moved to earlier in the day. As always, thank you for treating Mushu like family!”
“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.”
“Moose loves spending time with Stephanie. We have peace of mind when he stays with her. We get lots of photos of moose and we can see that he’s having a great time”
“Amazing Family and dog watchers! Very communicative and gave us timely updates. We already booked for them to watch our dog again. Can’t recommend this family enough!”
“Chrissy was great; similar age, size, and demeanor pets in the home, drop off and pick up was easy, unsolicited updates, and kind of let my dog take her spot in the house where she felt most comfortable. Beside being fed and watered, you really can’t ask for anything more.”
“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”
“Absolutely wonderful communication the entire three weeks I was gone for work. I didn’t have a single worry Tilly wasn’t taken care of and Tasha was incredibly communicative. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and I couldn’t of asked for more. She’s gonna be my go to.”
“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.”
“Lori is wonderful. She made Lucy feel at home. I got photos of things Lucy was doing when she ate and when she went out and partied and even just some cool photos of her sitting on the sofa, I felt like Lucy was in a wonderful home. Thank you so much excellent Service and I appreciate it.”
“Olga sent many photos during her time with Boo. She was patient & solution-oriented when presented with Boo’s unique personality & tendencies. Olga took Boo on multiple long walks & we are so thankful to see how much activity our high-energy dog was able to exert while in her care. Olga is very soft-spoken as a person & did not ask us very many questions about Boo. I assume this is because we have created an extremely thorough profile for our pet while anticipating the needs of our sitters. Olga seems to be very confident in what she is doing. Although I would have been comforted by Olga expressing more verbal interest in Boo, that is entirely my personal preference in terms of what I consider to be high-level communication; for me, this provides reassurance that our sitter is enthusiastic about the time they anticipate to spend with our unique pet. Overall, Olga was very accommodating with our schedules & highly responsive. I would absolutely work with Olga again.”

Our pups were well cared for when boarding in Jessica’s home for a week while we were out of the country. It’s obvious she loves working with animals and is skilled in doing so. She’s a communicative, conscientious, and caring individual, and our pups love her.
Susan and her family were fabulous. This is my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous at first leaving Roxy, but meeting Susan really put me at ease. She sent regular updates with pictures to keep me posted. Her boys were great with Roxy too. Susan was very timely with communications and was a great introduction to me to Rover. I would highly recommend her. Thank you to Susan and her family.
Our dog, Chloe, had the best time with Emily! She made sure Chloe felt comfortable and loved right away. She also made sure she was well entertained during her stay - taking her to the dog park and playing with her toys. Emily was great with Chloe’s routine and medication. She sent me plenty of updates and gave me tons of peace of mind during our trip! I’d 100% recommend booking Emily as your Rover!
Rio had a great time at Ragan's! He got a lot of attention and loved playing with her dogs. She was super communicative with me while he was there and even let me leave my car parked in front of her house while my family and I went to the Chappell Roan show. Your pup will be in great hands with Ragan and her family!
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!
Tera was a great sitter for Penny! She sent several pictures throughout the day, and often shared how much fun Penny was having, along with the activities they did each day. She was very caring to Penny, and I would certainly recommend and will use her again when needed!
