“Ruth kept our 13 yr old fur baby 2-1/2 weeks and then graciously kept her an additional day so we could finish up our road trip with family. We knew our Beasley was safe and well cared for. We are grateful for her care and experience. We will use her again in the future and recommend her highly.”
“After recently moving to the Richmond area, we were looking for a new Rover sitter for our dog. Molly was super accommodating and Yugi loved his visit with Molly and Greg!”
“Amanda seemed great with our dog! He was so happy he didn’t want to come home. Sounds like they did all kinds of things. We’re just boring mom and dad. He’s much better now and drinking water. Maybe he learned there. He’s never been a big water drinker, even in the hot summer! Thank you both for taking such good care of our “baby”. Stephanie Morgan”
“Juan and his family were wonderful! They took excellent care of Sasuke. Right off the bat, when I first met him, I got a great first impression and Sasuke took kindly to him (which is always a plus)….He was warm and friendly and was great with my pup. He made us both feel comfortable. During Sasuke’s stay, Juan sent me photos of my baby having fun, which was really nice. Definitely booking again.”
“Cindy and Dustin took excellent care of my fur babies! They sent daily updates of my pups and gave them all the cuddles and attention while I was gone. As a first timer to Rover, I was able to relax while on vacay knowing my pups are being taken care of!”
“Linda took great care of Julie during her first stay at her home. She paid close attention to Julie’s condition and kept us updated daily with photos and thoughtful descriptions. We felt completely at ease knowing Julie was in such good hands with Linda!”
“Charlie lived his best vaca life with Giulia & Michael. They gave him all the love, attention and adventures anyone would want for their pup. It was a great first experience leaving him with “strangers” and using this app. Will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
“I used her boarding service for the first time and Ofocurse I had my reservations like any responsible pawrent would have. Tiffinay made sure to send me multiple daily updates and pics of my baby. She also invited me in her home for meet and greet to make me feel comfortable. I would definitely use her boarding service again and she is recommended for sure .”
“We had an exceptional experience with this dog boarding service! Our dog, who is notably shy and tends to be anxious, has always made me apprehensive about boarding. However, this time, I was thoroughly reassured. The videos sent to us during his stay depicted him in a state of complete relaxation and enjoyment, a sight that truly warmed our hearts upon picking him up. It was evident that the they holds a genuine affection for dogs, treating them as part of their family. Additionally, their own dog played the role of a gentle and patient sibling, creating a comforting and social environment. We are immensely grateful to have discovered such an outstanding boarding for my dog.”

“Brooke was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we were very apprehensive. She immediately put me at ease! She was so kind, sent updates/pictures/videos multiple times through the days, and loved my babies like they were her own. We will definitely be requesting her to puppysit for us again. 12 out of 10!!”

Chelsea is awesome with the dogs- and you can actually see the pups smiling in each photo she sends! Highly recommend! I feel so comfortable sending our baby to her house.”
“I left my dog with Lisa for ten days and everyday she would provide me updates and pictures about what my dog did that day.
