Sherilynn did a great job communicating with us and providing updates on our dog Olive while we were away. She was also patient with Olive who tends to be a little cautious and skittish at first.

This was our first Rover experience, and Ben made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire stay. He sent pictures and videos daily, took Murphy on walks and to the dog park, and cared for Murphy’s hotspot by putting cream on each day. It looked like Murphy had the best time!

Scott was wonderful and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures of our boy. It's clear that he is passionate about dogs and we will definitely use him again the next time we head out of town!

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.

Laura provided great care for my pup for a couple of days while we were traveling--doing boring people stuff--in her area; we received a happy (and tired) pooch at the conclusion of her stay. Would definitely book again!

Our dog had a cut on his paw and eye from a bad grooming experience. While we were away for the weekend Tanya took him to the vet and took care of all of his meds (and cuddles) while he was healing!

I was very impressed by Samantha. She sent photos (even a video) of Koda right away from the start which I appreciated. He looked very happy and comfortable. I wasn’t able to pick up Koda on time and Samantha was very flexible. She always replied in a timely manner which says a lot.

About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

About: I love animals and have been taking care of family and neighbor pets since I was young. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have experience taking care of dogs of all size and ages! We have an active 6 year old golden retriever, and a 9 year old cat who we love very much! I am a 1st grade teacher, and love to spend my summers taking care of pets. I am home all day in the summer, and can make sure dogs get plenty of attention and outdoors time! We have a fenced in yard and a friendly golden retriever who loves to meet other dogs. We like to take walks on the trails around our neighborhood, and play in the backyard.

Stefanie kept in contact with us by sending pictures and updates. We will definitely be using her in the future for all of our fur baby needs. We could just tell when we picked Whiskey up that he was happy and well cared for.

Ginny did a great job of taking care of Levi over the course of 4 nights and days. She provided pictures and updates of Levi throughout his stay at her home. Ginny made sure that Levi's needs were met. Ginny is very loving towards pets and I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

Craig and Sally were such a blessing to our family while we were gone. Mollie is a young and energetic pup and they were able to keep her active which means she stayed out of trouble!! I think Mollie came home better trained than she was when we dropped her off! This was our first time using Rover and we are telling everyone about how great it went. We appreciated the update on how well Mollie was doing and it made our vacation that much better! What a great experience and we can’t wait to book a stay with them again.
