“Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P”



“This being the first time my dog Aspen stayed overnight with Kathy, I could tell immediately that she loved animals and is a skilled handler. She made both Aspen and me feel comfortable immediately. She has a wonderful yard and a spacious home for all her boarders. I look forward to boarding Aspen with Kathy and her husband again soon.”


“AMAZING pet sitters! So happy to have found such a wonderful, communicative, accommodating, trustworthy, experienced couple to take care of my 2 dogs- I travel frequently & normally I do worry about leaving them with a petsitter but not this time. One of the dogs is shy, on meds & has a complicated feeding routine & the other is a quirky rescue who is also a bit shy. They both felt comfortable surprisingly quickly & seemed right at home with this wonderful family. They are kind & truly love dogs. Absolutely gorgeous country setting to bring your dogs where they can really stretch those legs in the giant fenced in 10 acre property! A vacay for the dogs! I felt they were very loved & well taken care of. Grateful to have found Melissa & Scott!!”


“Lisa and her family took excellent care of our 2 pups. We really appreciated the great communication, check ins with updates and photos and overall peace of mind knowing our babies were cared for in a loving home while we were away. We will definitely book with Lisa again.”


“Seriously the BEST! Communication is everything when you are away from your furry loved one. Monica is seriously the best at making sure you are informed the entire time. I received so many photo updates! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my Harlow would react accordingly. All went well and we decided to go ahead and book! Monica sure does have the set up! A guest room just for your furry pet and couch dedicated just for the doggies! Did I mention how clean she keeps everything? SUPERB. A key feature was the dog run on the side of her house which our Harlow loved while visiting. Monica will be our go to dog sitter from here on out. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Harlow.”


“Erin sat with my dog for a week. We felt very comfortable with Erin. From the outset she demonstrated a knowledgeable understanding of the care that dogs require and a real love for animals. We plan to use her in future. Mel Schuyler”


“Marcela took great care of Astro our Mini Australian Shepard. He loved the large 3 acer property to run around and herd the other pup guests.”



“Jeanne was a great choice for my Brownie girl. She truly treated Brownie as her own. After our meet and greet I was positive she was a dog lover. She kept me updated through pictures daily. When I dropped Brownie off for her stay she ran to the front door, very excited. It was definitely a good vibe at Jeanne's. Thanks so much Jeanne?”



“Marley was a SUPERIOR sitter! She and her husband went above and beyond to keep me informed of Toby's adjustment and adventures with them. Frequent texts and photos reassured me that Toby was in great hands during my absence. Toby enjoyed their fenced yard as well as the freedom to roam in their lovely home. I highly recommend Marley B.!”



“Carrie boarded my dog for 5 days. Carrie walked, played, sent pictures and took good care of her. When I picked my dog up, she was energetic, happy and glad to see me. I was very pleased with how Carrie took care of my dog, highly recommend her and would hire her again.”


“What a wonderful stay Charlee had with Cherolyn. She spoiled him and took amazing care of him I never worried the second I left him with her for two weeks! Cherolyn is a one of a kind person and we are greatful to have found her on Rover. Thank You Again for everything.”


“Teddy loved Lisa. She took great care of him. Her home is perfectly set up for him on one floor. And the fact she only takes one dog at a time is great since Teddy is 14 and prefers sleeping all day.”


“So happy with Floyd and his wife, our Hank was treated like family as the daily photos attested, allowing us a very relaxing vacation. We will happily be a repeat customer!”


“Marcia is a dog loving person and seems to care for your dogs the way she cares for her own. Yard is huge. My two pups enjoyed the space. Hoping to have her care for my two in the near future.”



“Jersey loved staying with Robin!! She took amazing care of him while we had a few days away! Let him sleep with her, took him for walks and spent some time gardening in her backyard! Robin has an inviting, warm, clean, beautiful home that any pup would love to visit! Great street views on a comfy ottoman are the added bonus for Jersey! She doesn’t take multiple clients at a time which was comforting for us—although Jersey loves playing with other pups, we don’t know that other pups love playing with him. Thank you for the assurance our baby would be safe and well taken care of while in your care!”


“Our dog slept for a couple of days upon returning home--can only imagine that he had a great time swimming and playing in the yard with the other dogs!!!”



“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”



“Marybeth and Russ were AMAZING!! We are so grateful we found them! This was only our second time using rover and I was a bit nervous, but Marybeth & Russ set up a meet and greet and stayed in touch with me during Kai’s stay.. which was so great and made me feel at ease! Marybeth & Russ played, walked and loved our fur baby - I don’t think Kai wanted to leave when we came to pick him up! We can’t wait to have Marybeth & Russ take care of Kai next time!”


“Thank you Jennifer for caring for Bailey. It was nice to get pictures and updates while we were gone. We’re very glad you and your family enjoyed having him in your home.”
