“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Christine watched Miso for the first time for a night so I could celebrate my birthday. Communication was great before and during my dog's time there. I appreciated Christine being flexible with my inconsistent plans for pick up and drop off. I also very much appreciated that Miso was returned to me tired from playing so much hahaha... Was able to have a calm day after lots of celebrating!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Tyler and his family. We couldn't be more pleased. We will definitely ask Tyler to take our dog any time we need to be away. Thank you Tyler.”
“Isabelle took such great care of our Halo during the stay! We greatly appreciated all of the pictures throughout her stay during our vacation and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter outside of a kennel! We all thank you soo much! 😊🫶🏻🐶💕”
“Nani was AMAZING!!! She sent pictures throughout the day, took Tootie out for walks and allowed Tootie to play with her dogs. I would absolutely book Nani again and recommend her to friends. Thank you so much!”
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Ruby had a great time with Leila! She sent lots of pictures and took wonderful care of her. Ruby got lots of cuddles and walks. Would highly recommend Leila for your pup!”
“Elena and her husband are fantastic. This was our first experience where we felt no anxiety or stress while Peach was being taken care of. They sent the best updates and we could tell how happy, healthy and loved Peach was during her stay. She instantly fell in love with Elena and it was awesome to see her not be anxious during drop off. I was so happy. I cannot wait to use Elena again!!!!!”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Laurie and Richard took excellent care of my senior pup, who was very relaxed throughout her stay. I would definitely use their services again.”
“Sky has taken care of our precious Simone twice now and Simone was so excited to come back this time! She’s wonderful about keeping in touch, sending cute and important videos and making Simone feel at home. I highly recommend her!! Will always choose Sky.”
“First off, a big thank you to Amal! Amal was very attentive and proactive to care for my furry child while I was out of town for a few days. There were some optional things on my care instructions and Amal went above and beyond to meet them! My dog Luna was very happy to be in Amal’s care and had lots of fun hanging out with Pepper (Amal’s cavapoo). I was very pleased to get photo updates on Luna while I was away and to see that she was doing great with Amal. Overall, I highly recommend Amal and will more than likely, if not definitely, will be rebooking with Amal. Fellow dog owners, please consider Amal as a potential dog sitter 🙂”
“Bridgid was phenomenal. Our dog is standoffish with new people, but by the end of two days with Bridgid he didn’t want to leaver her. Her years of dog ownership really show and she projects calm, confidence, and flexibility. She handled a complex med schedule like a champ and truly went above and beyond. She may be new to Rover, but don’t let that fool you - she is truly one of the best you will find.”
“Brianne cared for our puppy during our holiday travels. She provided plenty of walks and play time. It was great that our energetic, friendly pup could spend time with a family and other dogs. Brianne sent pictures daily, so we felt at ease while we were away. She was excellent with communication, responding promptly when messaging on the Rover app. We picked up a very happy and tired pup after his stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Kelly was so great with my senior dog and sent me plenty of updates and pictures to put me at ease while having to be away from him! Highly recommend!”
“Chris is amazing! Always communicating, took great care of my senior special needs Pug. I would trust him with any animal he has a real way of handling these animals well. She came back happy and loved.”
Lyon Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sahana was amazing with Duchess and communicated so well throughout the stay. Sahana clearly understands how to work with shelter dogs who have anxiety and made sure Duchess felt comfortable and safe. The updates with pictures and videos were so reassuring, and it was wonderful to see how happy Duchess was. Thank you so much!
Kerstyn has been so wonderful to us and our dog, Wilson! We are so grateful for all of her help and appreciate the daily check-ins. Wilson was excited for his stay and always comes home an extra happy pup. We definitely will be reaching out to Kerstyn in the future!
So grateful to have found Patrick and Joceline! We were so anxious finding a new “camp” or sitter for Mochi since she had been with her other sitter for almost 6 months. Communication and friendliness were on point and the photos they sent while she was with them were too cute. Total lap dog 🐕 during her visit. Highly recommend!!
Christina was Great! Our little Morkie was in good hands when she started dragging and not eating; Christina was right on it - called me and immediately contact an emergency vet (it was on the weekend). The situation passed without incident. Too, Christina is a cogent communicator; the comms were just right - not too little nor too much. Very Highly Recommended!
Vanessa was the absolute sweetest with my precious little Golden and really understood all of his needs and his personality and took such amazing care of him! We did a meet and greet and immediately felt comfortable and safe leaving him in her care and I never had to worry. We love Vanessa!!
Spencer was an incredible sitter for our two Labrador pups—one is 12 years old and the other is not yet 2 and absolutely full of energy. He showed so much patience and care with both dogs, and it was clear he spent a lot of time playing with them and taking them on walks. The biggest sign of how much they loved him came when we arrived to pick them up: our 12-year-old actually ran off and hid in the bushes while we tried to load them into the car. She clearly wanted to stay with Spencer! That alone says everything. We highly recommend him and would happily trust him with our pups again.
