“Brandon and Mya took great care of our dog this weekend on short notice. She had so much fun playing in the yard with their dog, and we were able to relax and enjoy our plans knowing she was in good hands. We would book again!”
“Linda Jean is everything you could hope for in a Rover sitter. She took wonderful care of Lucy and gave detailed updates along with photos. Lucy was happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We’d love to have Linda Jean sit for us again.”
“Kelly and Donovan were very welcoming and attentive hosts. They gave our dog, Bill, a lot of love, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him walks and time outside in the sunshine. We really appreciated the photos and communication so that we knew Bill was taken care of. Bill is returning for another stay soon. We highly recommend Kelly and Donovan. Thank you!”
“The only place my boys are excited to go to when we travel. They come back tired from playing all day and I never have to worry about them :)”
“Ronald and his family took care of Callie. They treated her like their own. Photos were provided daily which was great because we missed her so much while we were away. They have their own dogs so that was a plus for us since Callie is still in training. She got along very well with the other dogs.”
“Mei was great overall. Very friendly. Great communication before and during dog sitting stay. She constantly sent pictures and updates which we appreciated. Her place was super clean and we felt super comfortable leaving our dog with mei. She also had a lovely dog. We would love to have Mei care for our dog in the future.”
“Abby and her family were amazing. We have never used Rover before and were nervous about leaving our little dog overnight anywhere (he is 10lbs, has had IVDD, very persistent, and is like a child to us). But from the moment we met Abby and saw her home and yard, we knew he would be safe, well-loved, and so happy. She sent me updates and photos and as soon as Sampson got home, he fell asleep after all the fun he had there. Abby is kind, accommodating, understanding and knows how to take care of and love dogs. She made it where we want to go out of town more so our little guy can have play dates ☺️”
“Bailey took such great care of Benny! She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and Benny was happy and well cared for when we picked him up. We will definitely rebook next time we need a sitter!”
“Dustin and his family are AWESOME!!! Our puppy is high energy and very sensitive to being left with someone else, and they made him feel at home and happy while we were out of town. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience for our crazy puppy! We hope to see you again soon.”
“Our dog stayed with Hana for 4 nights and had a great time. He got to play with other dogs & run around her backyard. Hana was great at communicating and sending photos so we were never worried. She takes the time to make sure the dogs get along & are comfortable together. We would definitely have our dog stay with Hana again!”
“Catalina is amazing!! My dog Booker fell in love with her immediately. Catalina is a true animal lover who took wonderful care of my boy. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Nancy was fantastic with my dog!! He is very anxious and has to take medication and she did a fantastic job of making him feel safe while my husband and I were away!”
