“Our puppy, Snowie, stayed with Sonja for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier! She sent regular photo updates, made sure Snowie got plenty of playtime, and even kept up with his feeding schedule. The place was clean and safe, and Snowie came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring and professional boarder. We’ll definitely book again!”

“Stephanie is fantastic! She went above and beyond to make the entire dog sitting process easy, reassuring and comfortable for us - from coming to our home for a meet and greet to being extra communicative and flexible to even dropping our dogs off at our house after our long day of travel! She is so sweet and clearly loves dogs. Our pups were upset when she left, so we know they had a great experience too. She is a responsible, trustworthy dog sitter and person. And lastly, her home is super clean, very unlike some of the in-home kennel situations we’ve experienced with Rover sitters. We will be using her again. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Misty was great. Very willing to accommodate any special needs or scheduling. Very flexible. We received updates with photos and it seemed our dog was very well taken care of. Will be using again for sure.”

“Best experience ever!! Reema was so sweet and took great care of our Maverick over the holidays. She kept in touch and sent photos daily. We would highly recommend her!”


“Leslie was great!! She took great care of my two dogs!! Sent messages and pictures while I was away so I did not have to worry. My dogs were safe and came back to me happy! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Karen was wonderful with Annie over Thanksgiving. Annie liked Karen’s. We got lots of pictures of her resting, eating and walking. Karen took good care of our little girl. Definitely will use her again!”

“Julia took great care of Nixon! It seemed like he really liked her and he became super comfortable around her when he stayed at her place! Will definitely book again with Julia if I go out of town again!”

“Blake was amazing with my Pups! Picked them up and dropped them off for me. Even clipped their nails. That sounds simple but my lab absolutely hates it (sounds like you are murdering her and takes two people). He sent me a photo of her relaxed and smiling lol. Absolutely will be using him again”

“I highly recommend Beth! Had to go on a family vacation to Florida and leave my dog, Gary, for over 5 days for the first time ever. Beth was very accommodating and Gary had a blast! Will definitely use her again when I need to. 5/5.”

“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”

“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”


“I was so pleased with Jennifer, Sharon& Scott! I had to go out of town for a week and 2 of my cats need to be given medicine. They were able to take care of that, and they sent me twice daily detailed notes and videos and pics. It made it so much easier to be away from my kitties. I will definitely use their services again!”

“Lorri was just wonderful and a true gem! Charlee loved his stay with her. She consistently messaged and sent pictures to update me on his stay. She was so attentive to him and he was very relaxed with her. It really made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her to have a relaxing vacation. THANK YOU, Lorri!”
“I can’t thank Caitlin and Adam enough for how they took care of our 9 month puppy for two weeks!! I was anxious to be gone that long from him, but their set up was perfect and Caitlin’s communication was so great. We were able to relax and fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in capable and caring hands. Thank you SO much!!”

Kirkwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shelly was amazing with Jax! We got lots of pictures and videos of a boy who was having a blast at her house. What a great backyard space for them to play. She was thorough at explaining everything and is so professional. Thank you Shelly for taking care of our boy ❤️

Do not hesitate to leave your fur kids with Alycia! Both she and Derek showed so much patience and care with my senior boy who requires a lot of extra attention and effort. They were accommodating and communicative. It's clear that caring for pets is a calling for them. I would definitely rely on Alycia again!

Sue takes great care of our GSP. Our dog gets a lot of great play time in Sue’s yard with her dog. Of note, we were supposed to pick out dog up at about 7:30 on a Sunday night after our return from a long weekend in Austin. Despite our flight being 2 hours delayed, Sue was patient and waited for us to come over late to get our pup. Thank you for your amazing flexibility Sue!!
