As humans, we also really appreciated how easy it was to communicate and coordinate logistics with Leslie. Thank you, Leslie!!”

Kirkwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience boarding our golden retriever puppy with J! He was very accommodating when I requested a meet and greet and had a great schedule set up for his boarders. I looked at several different boarders for our trip and J was the only one I felt comfortable leaving my pup with. Would book with him again!
Hui-Tzu is always great. We have boarded w her multiple times. She shares pics throughout the day. Also great w communication. She has young kids which our dog loves. They take him on walks and love on him like we do.
Lucy was great! She took great care of our dog and provided plenty of updates and pictures! Would definitely recommend!
Sue was wonderful to work with from the get go. Her expectations were very clear with no surprises. She spent time with Rudy and communicated with me how he was doing. Sue was able to work with me when I knew my arrival time home was not in stone. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back.
I would highly recommend Caitlin and Adam to anyone looking to use Rover. It was the first time our dog was with someone other than family members and they were amazing!! They took her on daily walks and kept us updated with how she was doing. We loved getting pictures of our sweet girl throughout the week!! Our sweet girl had a great time at their house!!
Radha was great with my dog, Apache, and provided pictures, videos, and updates daily. Will definitely seek her out again in the future!
Calli was great! Dega was well cared for and we were updated throughout his stay. She was very flexible and kind. Will use again!
Alycia was an excellent sitter for our two small, energetic dogs. She was attentive, professional, and provided great updates with photos and videos. She took great care of our finicky boys and they seemed happy during their stay. I definitely recommend Alycia and have already booked her again.
Oh man this was Ke'o second time to stay with them and he had so much fun that when I came to pick him up, he went straight to their dog bed instead of me. Their kids really enjoyed having him according to the sitter. They're a great family and I highly recommend them for their exemplary services. Thank you Mr. Brian and Mrs. Abigail for taking care our furrikid.
Daria provided great care to our dog Jesse during our recent vacation. She was great at communicating before and during our stay. We would love to send Jesse back to Daria's home in the future.
Linda’s experience with and knowledge of dogs is evident from the start. She’s attentive to the needs of each dog that is under her care. While Linda limits her dog sitting to small breeds she is very loving toward them. My wife and I recently left our Westie with her while on vacation and she was consistent with sending us updates including pictures and videos. Her large, fenced backyard is a dream come true for a dog with plenty of room to safely explore and play. If you have small dogs and need a temporary place for them to safely stay in a comfortable home environments Linda’s who you need to turn to.
Really appreciate the availability when another option fell thru. Han seemed to get along with dog mates and extra loving from family member. Will definitely consider rebooking. Thanks again
Coco loved her stay with Maura! Very easy drop off and pickup. You can tell Maura really loves dogs, will use her again for sure!
Laura and Patrick were terrific! Stella loved them, their sweet son, and their dog. We definitely will be back!
Andre was so good with our little Bella especially during the storm which she is so afraid of. Andra played music for her and played with her to distract her. She was the best! We definitely will have her again. Bella loved her so much.
Jenny was the best - she was very flexible and kept us updated on our dog the entire time. Will definitely rebook for our next trip!!
Andrew and Joy are the absolute best. They are always flexible and willing to watch Phoebs even with such short notice. I will always reach out to them first when I need help. They take such good care of her and their children are great too!! When I dropped her off she knew exactly where she was and ran to the front door and straight in the house. She could have cared less that I was leaving her there (which is not the case everywhere). They were wrapping up a walk when I pulled up and she was so happy. I seriously love this family and Phoebe sure does too❤️
