“Robin was great and very kind! Our dog has separation anxiety and Robin took great care of her. She sent us pictures and videos, and kept us updated throughout the week.”

“Karla was absolutely amazing with Molly. I got daily updates and Karla was so conscious and considerate of when to walk Molly during an intense heat wave. My pup came back happy and I will absolutely rebook with Karla!”

“Sarah was great and took amazing care of Coco on the overnight stay. Our dog can take some time to get used to new people, but we had no doubt Coco would be in good hands. We would book Sarah again to care for Coco in a heartbeat!”

“I waited to submit a review until I was sure this couple would be my regular dog sitters. After about 4 or 5 stays I can confidently say my dog LOVES them. They are the sweetest people and they’re so accommodating. Morty has trouble being boarded in dog kennels. He gets stressed out, gets attacked often (due to his size), and always comes back to us with scratches and bruises. He has NEVER been taken care of as well as he has with Virginia and Steven. They kept us informed of everything along the way and always sent photos of his stay. Morty will not be staying with anyone else during our 3 years in Baltimore. I can not recommend them enough!! 💕💕”

“I’m so glad I found Liz and Jeffrey to board my dog for an extended weekend. Their years of experience in caring for dogs was clearly evident at drop off, which immediately put me at ease! Thank you and your family for loving on her so well.”

“My dog was well taken care of and Shaun really tried to understand my dog. My dog was allowed to be the dog he is. My dog has developed some social skills with the visit. Shaun really cared about my dog.”

“It was great to leave my Gus with a stranger! Gus has never been away from me and doesn't get much interaction with dogs. Malik communicated with me the first night to say things were going well and them followed up the next night with a photo! I highly recommend Malik and will use him again!”


“Shruti did an awesome job taking care of our dog Nala while away on our honeymoon. She updated us and let us know how Nala was doing every day. Since we head back home pretty late, she did us the favor of dropping off Nala right at home before we arrived. It made such a big difference in our travel experience. I really appreciated her adaptability and flexibility. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is my 3rd time booking Meredith and Kevyn and my pup was well taken care of as always! She sent me pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, gave me updates on his play time and answered whenever I reached out. Kash was excited to see Meredith and ready to leave me at the door to go play. He always comes home tired which shows he had a ton of play time! They treat Kash with so much love! The only sitter we will be booking from here out!”


“My puppy had a great stay with Veronica. It was my first time using Rover so I was initially hesitant to leave my puppy with a stranger , but Veronica made it a very easy and pleasant experience. Will request her again!”
“Danielle took great care of my dog while I was away! Sadie was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Danielle was responsive and sent me regular updates so I knew Sadie was happy and safe. I highly recommend Danielle!!”

“Megan is an exceptional dog sitter. We were apprehensive about boarding our dog for the first time, but Megan handled it professionally and efficiently. We were thoroughly satisfied with her services and will definitely hire her again for our dog sitting needs.”

“Shanikka is very skilled and meeting and greeting. This was my first time and she made me feel really comfortable and providing me with some knowledge and continuation of socialization.”

“Marliez was great with my Bentlee. She sent plenty of pics and videos. I’m always worried about him being around other dogs because he’s so young but she handled him so well. Def would recommend.”

“Anna and Christian were wonderful watching my pug Jasmine for a full week! They sent photos and recaps of her activity daily and were incredibly responsive. Highly recommend them to watch your pup!”

“We had a great experience with Shipra! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared a lot about our dog. We received regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Toby looked happy, well-fed, and comfortable when we returned. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Shipra made the whole process smooth and stress free. We would definitely recommend Shipra and will be booking again!”


“Felice and Ken did a great job making our Winston feel right at home for his first visit. We are very happy to have found them and definitely plan on using them for future visits! Thank you Felice and Ken for taking such good care of Winston!”

Lakeland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kera is a star sitter! She’s a clear communicator, sent just the right amount of updates, and is very capable. I especially appreciated her ability to handle my reactive cattle dog and trust her judgement with handling any special needs. I highly recommend her and will most certainly bring Aries back on my next work trip.

This was the third time Claire watched Milo and she did a great job taking care of him as always. Unfortunately, Milo was sick while staying there, but Claire was a great caregiver and was very communicative throughout. We would definitely leave Milo with Claire again.

We can’t thank you enough for stepping in at the last minute to watch our sweet baby boy! You made everything so seamless and stress-free for us. He was 100% happy when we dropped him off and just as happy (and exactly the same) when we picked him up.. tail wagging, full of energy, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate your flexibility and the wonderful care you gave him. We’ll definitely be reaching out again! 🤍🤍🤍

Megan did amazing with my girl Ember! I was pretty nervous at first because I’ve never used Rover before and my dog is a rescue with pretty bad anxiety and is scared of new people and places. I’m so glad I booked with Megan! She was incredibly patient with Ember and by the end of the week Ember was cuddling up with her and lying her head on her, that is a huge sign of trust that is reserved for only a handful of people. I’m so happy I found someone my dog feels fully comfortable and safe with! Megan also did a great job communicating with me, I got several updates a day with pictures and felt confident that my dog was in good hands the whole time I was away! Ember had a couple of anxiety attacks (which is normal but can be difficult to know how to approach) and Megan was able to monitor, calm her down, and give medication when necessary keeping me updated the whole time. Ember is picky about her care but she loved it there, especially having the yard to play and sunbathe in! Extremely thankful to have found Megan on here and I will be back the next time I need a sitter.

I couldn’t have asked for better care for Asha! They were kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I received updates and could tell Asha was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely trust them with Asha again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby!

Karla always takes great care of our dog, Loki. He is 13 years old, and it's nice knowing he will be accommodated and well looked after. She always gives great updates and is available to talk whenever we need. We will definitely go back and recommend her to anyone we know!

My pup Izzie LOVES herself some Ashley! Ashley has taken great care of Izzie during several of my work trips and most recently when I had to go out of town unexpectedly for a memorial service. I truly appreciate the photos and videos Ashley sends while taking care of my girl -- it really puts my mind at ease to see how happy my pup is while staying with Ashley. She is the best!
