“Teri watched my two chihuahuas and she was amazing. I was nervous to leave them with a stranger but instantly felt at ease with many updates and pictures. They seemed to be at home with Teri and I would definitely have her watch them again!! ❤️”
“Our family has used Kelsey twice and I can already say she is a stellar pupsitter. While my dog is happy to see me when I get there to pick him up I can tell by the way he glances at her that he likes her. She is also great about sending update pics. It seems she treats our pup as part of her family. The land she lives on provides great space for my pup to run around on. Highly recommend Kelsey and her family for day sitting and extended trips.”
“Our pup, Olive, had a great time! Lots of great photos. We felt confident leaving our girl with Suzanne and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“Susan & David took great care of my energetic pup while I was away for the Fourth of July weekend, giving him lots of walks and yard time and making sure he was comfy during the fireworks. Loved the photo updates and was happy to see him having so much fun!”
“Nova had a wonderful weekend with Morgan! She always takes Nova on fun walks and hikes, and sends pictures of Nova having a blast. We will always reach out to Morgan first for Nova.”
“Jenny was wonderful as always. I requested for Jenny's help so I could take my son out of town for his birthday. I have asked Jenny for help multiple times now with my dog and she always provides 6 out of 5 star service (that is not a typo). Muchas gracias Jenny :)”
“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Natalie is amazing! My dog Ellie can struggle with anxiety and fear meeting new people/places, but she seemed immediately comfortable with Natalie during our meet and greet. She was very accommodating, asked great questions at drop off to make sure Ellie was comfortable, and provided updates and photos throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again, I think Ellie was sad to say goodbye.”
“We were worry free on our trip. Janelle and Travis are amazing. This is our 2nd time trusting our puppy with them… we found our go to dog sitter! Luna loves playing with her fur friends.”
“John was great! We appreciated his prompt communication and the care he gave our two sometimes neurotic dogs. One dog needed to have stitches removed while we were gone and John generously agreed to take him in to have that done. The dogs came back happy and healthy. The huge backyard for them to explore was a bonus! We would definitely have John dog-sit for us again.”
“Gracie and I knew almost immediately that Marshel would be the right place for Gracie to stay while I went on vacation. I this was our first time with Rover. Marshel sent photos daily and eased my anxiety about being away from my girl. I highly recommend Marshel.”
“Riitta was amazing! I was apprehensive about using the Rover app, but after meeting Riitta in person, talking with her about my dog, and getting a tour of where my dog would be boarding, I felt very comfortable with having them board with Riitta. While my dog stayed with Riitta, we received updates and pictures on how my dog was doing. They weren’t too many and they weren’t too little: it was just the right amount of communication! I’ve never been this stress free while away from my dog, so you can be sure I’ll be a repeat customer for Riitta. THANK YOU!”
“As always, Rebecca is the best. My dog always loves going to their house. It is so wonderful to be able to go on vacation and know our dog is going to love where she is staying. Thank you so much Rebecca!”
“It was like a mini vacation for my pup. Big fenced yard for her to run. I recorded picture updates, as well as text updates daily. I'll definitely use the service again.”
“Great dog sitter! Communicated really well and helped us out in a pinch when we were getting home late. Would happily request again for our 7 yr old Corgi. She came home very happy.”
“We are so glad we found Sheri! For years we took our dog to a kennel when we traveled. They took good care of him, but he always came home stressed. Now he comes home calm and happy. He loves going to Sheri's house for his own little vacation when we travel. She takes him for walks daily, he gets to be her shadow at home and he gets lots of healthy treats. What could be better?! ”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog with someone besides family and friends. Marlene sent me pictures of our baby everyday and answered any questions I had. Lyla looked like she was having a blast so we already rebooked her with Marlene for the next upcoming trips.”
“Highly recommend Monica! Monica took amazing care of our dogs, Romeo and Leo, while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, responsible, and easy to work with. She kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that both Romeo and Leo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. When we picked them up, they came back healthy, relaxed, and in great spirits. What really stood out was how accommodating Monica was with our constantly changing travel schedule. Our trip got rescheduled multiple times, and she was very understanding and flexible, which we truly appreciated. We also loved that she only boards a small number of dogs at a time (just two), so they get plenty of attention and care. We’re so glad we found Monica and will definitely trust her again in the future”
Machias dog parents share their Rover experiences
Travis was amazing! We had to leave very last minute for a family emergency. He got back to me right away and made our pup feel at home! When we came to pick her up she looked so excited and relaxed. It was so nice to know she was well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks again!
I had a wonderful experience with Candice taking care of our senior pup! She is very communicative, sent lots of picture updates, and is such a pleasant sitter to work with. Candice is very experienced and knowledgeable and we could tell our dog was well loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her pet boarding services, you will not be disappointed! Thank you 🙏 🙏
Kristen and her family are absolutely amazing! Our dog, Luna, took to them immediately and truly loves being there. They are so loving and kind with her. Luna even knows when we’re driving down their street and will get so excited in the car and then runs into their house as if it were her own. She gets tons of play time (she's a 2 year old Aussie) and lots of walks, despite all the rain! It's such a comfort knowing she’s happy, safe, and genuinely loved while in their care.
Thank you Currin for watching over our old man Benny while we had to go out of town for a few days! He normally doesnt interact with other dogs (other than just the one we have at home beside him), so I was worried he wouldn't either socialize with your dogs, or he would be too annoying, and just bark at them non-stop. Your pics and updates helped put our minds at ease. I am so happy Benny did so well staying with your family and your dogs! We will definitely book with you again when we need someone to watch him! Thank you again! :)
Thank you Ryan for accepting last minute booking! Ryan was fantastic from start to finish. He took the time to ask questions beforehand to ensure we were comfortable and well-prepared. When we dropped off the dogs, he made sure to get to know them — and us — so they wouldn’t feel afraid or anxious. Throughout the day, Ryan kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. I will definitely book with Ryan again for our next boarding!
Our dog Arlo is always so happy whenever he stays at Franklin’s house! Franklin is incredibly accommodating. We had a unique situation with two bookings and needed to pick Arlo up for a day in between, and he was kind enough to work with us and let Arlo stay. Arlo absolutely loves spending time with their dog Zi, the two of them play nonstop and it’s clear Arlo feels right at home. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such a caring and fun environment. Highly recommend!
