“Brian was very flexible with my last minute booking! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Athena got along with the dog in residence, which went very well though Merlin ended up not being there during Athenas stay. Brian was very responsive when I checked on him and Athena everyday. And Athena was clearly well taken care of even with her 4 month old puppy energy! I highly recommend Brian as a Rover caretaker.”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care that Heather gave to our 1 year old golden (Cobain) over Easter break!! He really enjoyed his stay with her, the walks to the pond and the creek, playing with her daughter and their farm dog, Charles! We loved getting lots of updates and pictures ❤️ We will definitely be booking with Heather again!”
“Boarding our dog Honey with Emily and family was a very positive experience. We started out with a meet and greet, where Emily asked lots of questions about Honey and her routine. During Honey's stay, Emily sent updates and photos each day letting me know what Honey was up to and how she was doing. It was apparent throughout that Emily is an excellent and responsive caregiver, and that Honey thoroughly enjoyed her stay! We're looking forward to booking with Emily again.”
“Evangelina has been wonderful with my puppy! I can tell it was important to her to truly care and tend to my pup’s needs! I also love that she sent pictures throughout. 10/10. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin was amazing! She was able to accommodate us on such short notice. She responded quickly and sent us updates daily (twice a day) on Kaijus well being. She would send us pictures of our pup which we really loved and appreciated as we were really nervous about leaving our puppy with someone we didn’t really know but she made us feel so comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her, will definitely be boarding our pup with her again!”
“Bruno and his family are so friendly and he communicated so fast and always sent me updates everyday. He was very willing to meet my dog ahead of time and we were overall very happy with Bruno. Would reccomend him!!”
“We had the best experience with Rodney. He was very patient with Emma. She definitely warmed up to him. Unfortunately had to be late for pick up d/t airport delays - was not a problem. We would definitely use Rodney's help again.”
“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Lonnie watched our border collie Gruffy while we went on a week vacation. Gruffy had a wonderful time with Lonnie and I am pretty sure he was on vacation too! Lonnie really did make Gruffy part of his pack that week and took the time to send us pictures. The pictures were great! I know Gruffy had a fabulous experience and we highly recommend Lonnie to anyone who has a fur baby.”
“Always over-the-top welcoming family, and our dog, Phoebe just loves it there! Room to romp and rin and play, other dogs to run and play with also! No couch potatoing unless she wants to ...she always comes back to us happy and healthier when we left her. Absolutely recommend Ren and his family!!!”
“Katie and her family were wonderful to our Dolly. She would love to spend more time with them. We enjoyed seeing all the pics sent during her stay. Thank you Katie and Ben for the excellent communication.”
“Dan was awesome! We were coming in from out of town and he was super understanding and worked perfectly with our schedule. His yard was great for the dogs and he cared for them like they were his. Updated us with videos of them playing and having fun. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing boarding for their dogs.”
“If I could give more stars for Jesse, I would! She is absolutely perfect and took care of my Aretha with so much care and warmth. She even came over to assist me in getting Aretha situated because he was NOT a happy camper with going to a sitter while mom (me) was away. LOL This was my first time using Rover and I must say, choosing her was the best decision made! I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!!! A million stars!!!!”
“Justin was very friendly and answered all of our questions at a meet and greet where we got to meet his dogs and see the fenced in yard before we booked. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures and overall had a great first experience with Rover.”
“This was my very 1st time being away from my fur baby & Carla made the process smooth. Very caring & kept me updated. The pictures helped a lot as well. Thank you so much again. This overall experience was a 10/10.”
“Jess looked after my dog for an extended time period. She is extremely kind, understanding and responds without delay! Jess genuinely cares for the wellbeing of your pet. Highly recommended - don't hesitate to reach out and book her!”
“Jim and Mary took excellent care of Milo as usual! He’s a very anxious dog but does very well in their care! They sent lots of pictures so I could see how he was doing. I didn’t worry about him at all while I was away!”
“They really showed a lot of love to my 10lb cockapoo, I could tell when we left she really liked them. This was my first time ever using Rover and was extremely satisfied and will definitely be contacting Dorian again if I need someone to watch.”
“Jacob was the absolute best with Benji. Our regular sitter was out of town and on short notice, Jacob saved the weekend for us. Right away from drop-off I had a sense of calm and peace with Jacob, his pets, and his beautiful backyard. Jacob sent pictures while away that showed Benji fitting right in with his new friends. I'll gladly use Jacob's services again and he really helped put our mind at ease!”
