“I have never left my dog, Jordan, with anyone he did not know. My daughter told me about Rover because I was going out of town and couldn't take him with me. I found Ray E. on Rover. I read his reviews, and decided to book with him. Jordan warmed up to him pretty quickly, and I was sent pictures and updates daily. My first experience with Rover was awesome. Ray was a wonderful sitter and I will use him again in the future. Aimee McFarling”


“Thank you so much Lindsey for taking great care of Benji. Thank you for sending me pics and letting me know how Benji was doing. He looked so happy and enjoying hanging out with Pepper. I will definitely feel at ease when Benji comes back in December.”


“Arnelia has been fantastic with my German Shepherd on both visits! She’s been so accommodating with last-minute requests and went above and beyond both times. During our recent stay, she even took the time to brush out my dog’s undercoat - which was much needed during this heavy shedding season. My dog looks so much better and lighter now! She clearly cares about the dogs she watches and provides excellent service. Highly recommend!”


“Susan was great with my puppy. She sent me regular updates/pics throughout the day. I dropped off a happy puppy and picked up a happy puppy. I will definitely use her again.”
