“Dana is the absolute best dog sitter we’ve ever encountered! She was constantly updating us on our baby Wrangler. I would recommend Dana to anyone & everyone, but on the other hand I don’t want to because I want to keep her services to myself (lol)! She’s AMAZING! Plus, her pooch (Bailey) allowed Wrangler to have a new friend to spend time with during his stay. I can tell he already misses Bailey dearly. Will absolutely be boarding with her in the near future. 💗🐕🥰”
“Christal was quick to respond and very communicative while my pup was with her family! Lots of love and cuddles were given and my pup came home tired and happy! I hope we can board with Christal again!”
“Alyssa always does a spectacular job taking care of Dolly, and this time was no different. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants great care of their pet while away.”
“Judy was so accommodating and took great care of our pup! She was flexible with pick up and drop off and sent us plenty of updates. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Elizabeth and Kevin completely put me at ease while taking care of my little guy! They sent daily pictures, videos and updates during his stay showing how much fun he was having with his new friends. This was only his second time with a sitter and they made him feel so comfortable and at home. He will definitely be going back to visit soon!”
“Thank you so much for watching Astro. Very communicative and polite. She sent pictures daily and updates, which was much appreciated. She even went out of her way to help with an unexpected ear issue. Would highly recommend.”
“Our pup Biscoff had two separate stays with Barbara and Bruce, and we could tell he enjoyed his visits and hanging out with their pup Buddy! We also loved seeing the updates and pictures Barbara sent. They are so sweet and gentle, and took great care of our doggie... just a lovely couple! We’ll definitely have Biscoff stay with them again soon.”
“My little boy didn't want to leave. He was in heaven. I could not be happier with the care that he received. I'm just so happy that somebody else loves my little boy the way we love him.”
“Anne and her husband were most accommodating during our recent in home boarding. Their house is perfectly set up to cater to their canine guests! The huge fenced in back yard was perfect and they provided lots of updates. Exactly what we were looking for with our older dog and we look forward to booking with them in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Cassian felt right at home at Katherine‘s house… They were very accommodating. They have a nice big backyard and were very loving towards my pup. I highly recommend them. 🐶”
“Thank you Tina!!!!!! So glad I found you on Rover! Delilah had a wonderful few days in your home. I appreciated the photos and pics while I was away. Delilah didn’t miss a beat when she returned home today so this is how I know she loved being with you! Your home and care were fabulous and it’s such a relief to me knowing she was in such caring and wonderful hands. Thank you again.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my 8 year old golden retriever with Shalyn and her family. Everything went perfect and it allowed us to enjoy a great vacation. Thank you!!”
“Thank you so much Clayton and his family. This is Bear's first boarding as we were visiting family during the Christmas time. We checked out a few dog boarding places. We were very disappointed. We were so lucky that we found Clayton and his family. He was very easy to communicate, prompt to respond, had a meet & greet with us as soon as we contacted him. Bear even had a play date with his dogs prior to the stay as I was very nervous it would work out. Bear had a blast over Clayton's house. We will definitely send Bear there again. Thank you again!!!”
“Tawni was great with our girls! She sent lots of photos which I loved to receive, and our girls seemed very happy staying with her. We will definitely ask her to keep them again!”
“Linda was great! Bear stayed with her over the holiday and had a great time. He came home happy, I got lots of communication and photos throughout the week, and he had a friend to play with!”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“I’m so thankful to Stephanie for taking such excellent care of my fur baby. She treated him like he was her very own and was so thorough with his daily routine. He had the best time with trips to the park and greenway and plenty of belly rubs. Stephanie was so thoughtful by sending me pictures or videos daily. Your fur baby is in the best hands under Stephanie’s care.”

Haley was fantastic for our 2 dogs while we went on vacation. This was my first time boarding them so was a bit nervous. Went for a meet and greet and was immediately impressed and at ease with Haley’s professionalism. She clearly has a passion for dogs and was beyond prepared and knowledgeable. Very thankful for her services and will definitely rebook!
Vladymyra is truly exceptional. She took care of our two dogs for several days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped them off, she made them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. Our pups can be a little sensitive when we’re away, but with her, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she paid attention to every detail — their routines, their quirks, their comfort — and treated them as if they were her own. When we picked them up, they were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. That’s the greatest gift a dog parent can receive. We are so grateful for Vladymyra and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly outstanding dog sitter. She’s a gem.
Natalie and her family took such wonderful care of our S’mores!!! Our girl is older and needs some extra care and rest- Natalie made sure she had all of her special needs met and sent us wonderful updates on all she was doing with lots of happy photos! Her communication was excellent, and when I realized our travel plans were going to be getting us in later than we expected, she was very kind and accommodating about helping us out! Great stay- great family! Thank you!!
I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely caring toward my dog. They provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable pet sitter.
This was my first time using Rover for an extended boarding stay, and Taffy's first time staying with someone who wasn't a friend or family member, so I was a little nervous at first. But Bo took such great care of Taffy and made the whole experience stress-free. She sent daily photos, and I could tell Taffy was having a wonderful time and felt comfortable in her care. Bo is also organized and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely book with her again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Chasalen. Our dog had a nervous belly for most of our trip, and she was incredibly attentive, communicative, and compassionate the entire time. She went above and beyond - trying a different diet for the pooch, keeping us updated, and making sure our pooch felt loved and comforted. We are so grateful for the amazing care she provided and would absolutely trust her again!
This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!
5 stars isn’t enough - Madison is absolutely amazing! She watched our Jerry while we were on vacation and took such incredible care of him. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely so caring. Jerry is a very picky eater, and she went above and beyond to follow all of our little tricks and tips to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. I also really appreciated all the updates and sweet pictures she sent throughout his stay as it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she treats every dog like her own. Madison has become our go to sitter and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so reliable to watch our Jerry. I highly recommend her services!
