1. Michael P.

“We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic care provided to Flynn by Mike and his family! From the moment we reached out on short notice, he was incredibly accommodating. Throughout the day, we received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Flynn was in great hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby—your attention to detail and thoughtful communication made all the difference!”


2. Julie T.

“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”


3. Lauren & Lauren P.


“The Laurens are the best! My pup is so happy to go there and I have complete confidence in their care. I totally recommend without reservation!”


4. Amy & Lamar F.
“Amy has great empathy and attention to the needs of the animals. She is great with my cats and has learned each one’s unique personality and interacts with them in their preferred manner. She is patient and loving toward them and treats them as well as she treats her own pets.”


5. Balaji S.

“Delayed on my review as I’ve felt under the weather but Balaji and his wife have done it again!!! The amazing care they continue to provide our sweet Penny is outstanding! The care and love they give her is second to none! Last week they even provided an adorable winter jacket on her walk which was such a kind gesture! They’re always so prepared! I have nothing but the best things to say about them and Penny is a lucky girl to be under their wonderful care!”


6. Renee L.

“I had a family emergency where I needed someone to look after my girls, it was last minute and Renee was very understanding and polite. Highly recommend to sit your fur babies.”


7. Deidre G.

“My pup absolutely loves going to Deidre’s house! She has been going for quite a few days out of the week and she is always super excited when we enter her neighborhood. I know my dog is super loved and cared for at her house, which is a great feeling! Annie is exhausted when we get home at night- a good sign lol :)”


8. Tessa S.

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Tessa and the dog daycare that she provides! She is very friendly, clearly a big dog lover, and is very attentive to my dog, Cypria's individual personality, needs, and preferences. Cypria always takes some time to warm up to new places and people, but has been very quickly warming up to Tessa. When Tessa first met Cypria, she even sat down on the floor so that Cypria would feel less intimidated and feel comfortable enough to approach her. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Tessa knowing that she is so well cared for. Tessa also watched my family's Border Collie, Maia, who is incredibly energetic. Maia miraculously came home tired for once and very content after a day with lots of her favorite activity: fetch!”


9. Tracy M.


“I love when I get to book Tracy as a host. She takes great care of Maggie whether it is walks or napping in her house. Would highly recommend!”


10. Ellen C.

“We left our 3 year old Maltipoo dog under Ellen's care for one day, and Ellen took great care of him! Milo takes a little time to settle in at a new place, and Ellen was very patient and kind with him. We had informed Ellen that Milo loves to play fetch, and Ellen took him to a dog park for plenty of play time. Ellen was very communicative throughout the day with providing updates. Milo had a great stay and he was a happy dog when we picked him up. We would definitely choose Ellen again for Milo's care.”


11. Karina B.

“I am very happy to report that Karina and her daughter were awesome for my new foster who is really fearful and shy at first. I was nervous at first because I didn't know her at all and the lady who owns the Rescue was telling me how sometimes Rover sitters actually steal dogs! But Karina was honorable and very communicative. Responded to texts instantly all week and kept me informed of everything, even got a picture of Roxy pooping! LOL From the many pictures and videos she sent, Roxy felt right at home and did quite well I think! I recommend Karina and will definitely rebook if she's available next time I come to town!”


12. ELENA M.

“Charlottes had a great time with Porter and Crumpet! They took excellent care of her and we looking forward to forward to seeing them again.”


13. Juliana F.

“Juliana was great with Beau. She sent pictures frequently, made sure he was actively engaged, and so sweet to work with. I truly appreciated her flexibility and watching him so early in the morning. Definitely will continue to book with her as my dog sitter moving forward!”


14. Sarah M.

“Philly loves visiting Sarah and her golden Max! Sarah is so warm and accomodating, I felt so at ease knowing Philly was safe and having fun while I was at work all day.”


15. Jeremy C.

“Highly recommend utilizing Jeremy’s services. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and we will absolutely be utilizing Jeremy’s services in the future. 5 stars!”


16. Patricia K.


“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”


17. Lynda H.

“Lynda really helped me out with a pretty last minute request for doggy daycare. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Teddy with her and I would absolutely do it again. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout the day on how it was going. Thank you Lynda!”




18. Taylor G.
“Taylor is one of the most compassionate people I know. You will not see Taylor without her side kick Emmy, the princess of puppies. She is a trust worthy person and works expectional with any sort of animal. 10/10 super star. #RoverMVP”


19. Joy G.

“Great place for my dog to play! Great yard, wonderful pet sitter!”


20. Frances S.
“I've known Franni for over 10 years and she has always had a love for dogs. She adopted an adult dog and has experience caring for her mother's senior dog as well. She's incredibly patient and enthusiastic about starting her journey with Rover!”
