“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Melissa and her son were amazing with my Bennie! She was very communicative with us and very understanding about our last minute boarding situation! She is amazing!”
“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“Mindy was wonderful with our Troops! We LOVED the updates & pics and felt very safe with him staying with her! He will be back very soon for a longer visit & we feel very happy knowing he’ll have a trusted companion while we are gone!”
“Michelle was the best! She was very communicative, and sent pictures daily of Honey. This was Honey's 2nd time being away from us in the 7 years we've had her. She made her feel comfortable and right at home. I will definitely being using her in our future travels. I highly recommend Michelle. You will not be disappointed!”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”
“This is my second time using rover and find it a little scary how my ludo will react to being in a different household with other dogs and cats. Miranda was very reassuring and sent me more than enough pictures of how well ludo was doing when getting comfortable in a new environment. I highly rec booking with Miranda as she is a great care taker! Could not be happier that ludo was watched with such care!”
“Courtney and family were awesome watching Carly! She looked like she was having a ton of fun when updates were sent and she came home happy and so clean! Can’t thank you enough for everything. Carly will be back!”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Tanklin absolutely loved sierra. She showed and told me all about where my pup would be staying which is great, I’ve never had anyone do that before. She was so sweet and was very attentive. I am always nervous leaving him because of his medical issue but as I was telling her about it and about the specifics of his feeding, she was understanding and that was very reassuring. Her communication was wonderful, she sent plenty of messages with pictures and videos. I could tell he was genuinely having a good time. If I could give her 10 stars I would”
“Laura was fantastic with our two boys! We were impressed from the very start. She did a great job handling the meet and greet, making sure the boys were comfortable in her home and around her family. While we were on vacation, she regularly checked in, sending us pictures and videos each day. I would highly recommend Laura. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Akeira was fantastic! She is so nice and very sweet. She took GREAT care of our two dogs!! She updated us throughout each day with photos/videos. She even made really cute report cards for both of our pups! We will be booking with her again!!!”
“Kimberly and her family were wonderful with Flopsy. I was sent daily photos and updates reassuring me that all was well. And her adorable children were kind and gentle. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their pet.”
“We feel so fortunate to have found Amanda. Our shy and anxious Dachshund had little experience being left with an unfamiliar person. Amanda’s calm and gentle demeanor was a great match for our dog. She was patient in allowing Luna time to warm up to her, which she eventually did. We highly recommend Amanda and will not hesitate to leave Luna in her care in the future!”
“Erika took great care of our dachshund Penne Linguine! She had a dedicated area for our “little princess” and made sure to give her lots of attention, walks, playtime. We received several photos and video of Penne having a great time on her “vacation”. Thanks guys!”
Kensington dog parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t be more happy with choosing Michelle to take care of my 2 pups! She kept them happy and safe for 4 days and was excellent at communicating! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day showing how content my pups were and gave me a much needed peace of mind. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets but Michelle is amazing and I couldn’t recommend her more as a loving and reliable care taker for your pets!
This was my dog's first time with a sitter and he was visibly nervous when we first arrived, but Mindy was able to calm him down and make him comfortable very quickly. She sent many updates with pictures and videos and he was clearly very happy with her! I highly recommend her!
Anna is such a great sitter! She was wonderful with my dog. Charlie is 9 years old and gets anxious when I have to leave him with a sitter, and Anna knew exactly what to do to help calm him down that first day. She did a great job keeping me updated throughout his stay with her. I could tell when I picked him up that he was relaxed and at ease and enjoyed his time at her house.
I would recommend Beth for her in-home sitting services. Beth welcomed our dog into her home with short notice, and was very kind and attentive to his needs. Communicative with photos and videos for the duration. Great set up for a dog with separation anxiety, like mine, or who needs to be watched as an only pet.
✨ f a n t a s t i c ✨ genuinely cannot recommend their services strongly enough. at no point was i left wondering how my dog was doing as i received frequent photo (and even video!!!) updates. super communicative, informed, cognizant of my dog’s needs, and above all very kind. my partner and i love the idea of not having to worry anytime we want to go on vacation, as akeira and brooke went above and beyond 😭💛
Lori was amazing for our very anxious 10 year old Carly. I was able to make a last minute booking with her due to another sitter cancelling. As soon as I messaged her she responded right away and offered to stop by that night to come meet Carly. She was incredibly inviting and sweet. Carly immediately loved her. She sent updates and pictures of Carly throughout the night. We will absolutely be rebooking with Lori.
Katie was absolutely fantastic with our dog Peggy. Upon arrival at our meet and greet, we were immediately comfortable with leaving Peg with her. Katie's communication was fantastic, she was flexible with drop-off and pick-up based on our flight pattern, and Peggy was incredibly happy and healthy when we returned. We couldn't ask for a better Rover, and will definitely be booking with Katie again in the future!
Dan and his family were excellent dog sitters for our pup who stayed with them for 3 nights. She is 7 months old and this was our first time leaving her with anyone so I was very nervous. We did a meet and greet and Dan and his family made us feel comfortable right away. During her stay, he was very responsive to texts and gave multiple updates about what they did and even sent pics! They have a nice background where our girl was able to run around and play and their house is very spacious and clean. They took her on multiple long walks during her stay and when we picked her up on Sunday and brought her home I could not believe how exhausted she was! She’s a puppy with lots of energy so to see her passed out means she must’ve had a great time getting lots of attention and exercise! I definitely would not hesitate to have Dan dog sit again for us and I’m grateful to know I now have someone that she & I both trust & feel comfortable with. Thanks again to Dan & his wonderful family!
