“We had Teri watch our fur baby while on vacation for 10 days. We got lots of pictures, and updates during that time. This is the second time Teri has watched our pup, and we couldn't be more pleased the way Teri looks after her. As long as Teri is available to watch our pup we will continue using her services. Thank you so much for taking great care of our baby.”

“Kathy and her husband take such wonderful care of our little guy. We appreciate how caring and warm they always are with Falafel. He get so excited when he knows he is staying at Kathy’s!”

“This is the first time that I leave my dog Murphy with a sitter. I was concerned that he wasn't going to do very well. But oh boy I was mistaken. He adjusted very well to the new environment. That is all thanks to Suzanne. She is very welcoming and made Murphy feel very safe. I will, without no doubt, taking him there when needs arise. Thank you Suzanne and Rover for making this a wonderful first experience.”

“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.”

“Second time using Susan and David, and could not be happier! We left our two boys for over a week, but judging from the pics we got they were clearly happy and relaxed. Will definitely use Susan and David again and highly recommend them!”

“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!”

“Jenny was amazing. Everything we read in the reviews we experienced with her. She was extremely communicative, and gave our puppy Arlo tons of love, exercise, and support during his first experience away from us. We cannot thank her enough, we are very lucky to have met her! Thank you!”

“Janelle and Travis are amazing! Our energetic German Shepherd, Bear, had the best time with their family and playing with all the pups. He came home happy and wiped out! They sent us daily videos of him having so much fun, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“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.”

“Rebecca took the best care of our sweet girl. We will absolutely be bringing her back to stay for our next trip. She was so communicative and sent us all the updates. Thank you again!”

“We had a fantastic experience! My dog, Olive, absolutely loved staying here and was so well-cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone we can trust implicitly. Picking her up, she wanted to run back into their house! Highly recommend!”


“My second time booking with Riitta! She is the best. Even though my Yorkie Tucker is shy and introverted Riitta makes him feel at home. She takes extra care to make sure he is comfortable. He was very excited to see her again when I dropped him off. I will be booking again!”


“Charlie's second stay with Marlene was even better than his first - He came home happy and completely POOPED out from having too much fun ! Thank you, Marlene for the care you provide. I am completely as ease knowing Charlie is in your care.”

“Mounica took great care of our dog, Mikko. She sent consistent updates and they gave him regular walks and time outside to play! She even baked special Christmas dog treats for the few dogs they had over that time. We would book with her and her family again anytime! Thank you Mounica for the great care! We appreciate you!”


“Marshel is just the best choice we've made for a dog sitter, Walter is very happy to be left there and has fun playing with the other dogs Marshel sends us pics and updates every day We would highly recommend Marshel for your dog sitting needs”
“Bruno absolutely loved his stay with Sukanya! Even at the meet and greet I immediately knew he would be so loved and cared for. Sukanya was so nice and fast with replies and sent the cutest pictures/videos of Bruno everyday. I will definitely be booking Sukanya for all my future stays!”

“Sheri and her husband did a wonderful job with my Omar. They kept him well walked and tired by the end of each day. He usually doesn't eat while away from me, but with them he ate well. Having them home all day was an added bonus, he is very much a people loving dog and wants to be near someone at all times. They sent a daily picture, as well as a short description of his day. I will not hesitate to take him back for another stay if need be.”
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!
