1. Lauran L.
“Lauran was kind enough to let us stop by before our stay to introduce our pup to hers, she shared daily updates along with photos and was absolutely wonderful with Hunter while we were out of town! I will definitely keep her in mind for future trips as well.”
2. Margaret B.
“Margaret was so great to the boys and so quick with responding!! They loved being out on the farm and we loved getting the daily updates. Thanks so much!!”
3. Juli W.
“Juli was SO great to Goose! She helped me with a last minute request and was great about keeping me updated during the stay. She also makes homemade treats that Goose absolutely loved. Juli also has a nice, fenced in backyard with plenty of space. I felt very comfortable having Goose stay with her for the weekend and will definitely use her again in the future!”
4. Naomi M.
“Naomi was great! I have a little Frenchie that I’m extremely protective of, so I typically will only leave him with family. This was my first time using Rover and Naomi made sure I was comfortable and aware of how my dog was going while I was out of town. She was flexible for pick-up and drop-off, she allowed me to come in and see where my dog would be kept while she was at work, and she sent pictures and videos on a daily basis. I now have the comfort in knowing my dog has a safe place to go when I’m out of town. I will 100% be sending my little guy to Naomi’s again. 🙂”
5. Mercedes Y.
“As this was my very first time using the rover app, I was super nervous leaving my three crazy dogs with someone I didn’t know. That being said, I definitely made the best decision for my dogs leaving them with Mercedes! She went above and beyond for them! They went on daily walks, she gave me daily updates as well as pictures and they even had a pool party! She took my dogs in as if they were her own and I know they had a blast and were definitely cared for. I can’t thank her enough for dealing with my crazy crew and I’m so thankful for the care she gave my dogs! I definitely and highly recommend anyone who is looking to board their dogs to book Mercedes!”
6. Jenna E.
“Will NOT be using anyone else unless dire emergency. Loved on my son as he was one of her own. Fed him as needed even with his medicines twice a day. Yard fantastic for play time. Communication ON POINT! Even sent me photos of my baby, since I was nervous as this was my first drop off for my baby. Jenna Jenna! Yes!!! Just don’t overbook her, because my son loves her!”
7. Leah C.
“Leah took care of our puppy with high energy for 7 days and she did a great job. We would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone!”
8. Megan L.
“This was my first time using rover.com. Megan was so great! She took in and cared for my pup and grandpup. She updated me on how they were doing and sent photos of them as well. I definitely recommend Megan! I got to focus on family without stressing over their care.”
9. Beth R.
“Teddy had a great time with Beth! He went to the dog park and for walks. He was happy when we picked him up and went back to Beth to give her hugs before we left! We got lots of pictures and communication, and felt very comfortable that we chose Beth as our sitter. Will definitely use her again!”
10. Angela B.
“Angela really loves dogs. I was so surprised when she said that she allowed my dog in her bed to help him relax since I was away . Angela treated my dog as if he were hers. I was so happy with her kindness and will definitely call her again. Thank You Rover!”
11. Jackie R.
“We were extremely happy with the attention and the care Jackie provided for our two Bostons! Jackie updated us daily and provided us with pictures to let us know how they were doing. We would highly recommend Jackie and Seamus and Rooney are looking forward to their next stay!”
12. Lannette H.
“I was worried cause Haushi is a nervous mess usually, but she was right at home with this family! I was away for almost 6 days and it was so reassuring because Lannette sent photos of Haushi every day, sometimes twice a day! Haushi was very well cared for and was much loved by Lannette, her husband, their little girls, and their two pups! Thank you so much Lannette and family for making Haushi a part of your home!!!”
13. Jessica W.
“We felt Jessica took good care of our lab mix while we were in town for a business convention. She lives near a big park and played fetch with him--his favorite thing to do. She lives in a 1st floor condo with a grassy area right out the front door. Next time we travel to Las Vegas, we will book with her.”
14. John V.
“John is a great guy and an enthusiastic caregiver. I felt like he genuinely took time to bond and care for my dog while we were away on vacation. I didn't worry about my dog at all. My dog got both the individual attention he needed and also got the experience of getting doggie social time in a great home environment. When he messaged me that he will miss my dog, I just said, "don't worry. We'll be back."”
15. Ashley K.
“Ashley was AMAZING! This was my first time away from my baby and I was so nervous but Ashley made sure to send me pictures to show me that she was just fine and also sent text confirming that she was doing great! I definitely recommend Ashley 10/10!”
16. Shannon P.
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my 3 fur babies. My 3 girls have never been anywhere without me. Likewise, I have never traveled without them. However, I was caught in a situation where I needed a fur baby sitter ASAP. My girls had some anxiety issues and Shannon was extremely understanding, calming, kept me up to date, and my heart at ease. I highly recommend Shannon and look forward to using her services in the future if the need arises! Thank you Shannon! You are awesome!”
17. Thomas B.
“Thomas and Margaret were wonderful! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times and were communicative of how my pup was doing during his stay. I will definitely rebook with them in the future. :)”
18. Colt S.
“Colt is by far one of the best dog sitters we have ever used. He genuinely cares about making sure your pets are happy and safe. It's wonderful that he has such a nice and big fenced in yard that our sweet hound enjoyed doing zoomies in! Thank you Colt.”
19. Summer A.
“Summer was great with my older Lab and her somewhat special needs. I enjoyed the pictures and description of her stay each day, even on a holiday. It made me feel much better that my Lab was not stuck in a kennel the whole time like when she stays at a regular kennel. I highly recommend Summer.”
20. Rosie P.
“My wife and I found ourselves in a situation where we were in possession of another cat before going on vacation and Rosie was so kind as to let us book Pancake and our new cat Penne together. She sent photos, she gave medicine, she let them play or hide whenever they needed too, and had amazing communication. Thank you so much for all that you do!”
