“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.”
“Penny had a wonderful time staying with Lindsey. We received updates, pictures and videos most days. Rover is a wonderful way to match your family member with someone who will love them and take care of them while you are on vacation. We highly recommend Lindsey if you are in the McKinney Tx area and we will definitely rebook with Lindsey on our next vacation.”
“Sheri was awesome. I felt like my dog was well taken care of and I didn’t stress about being away from her. This was my first time using a service like this because I am new in town and I am happy I found Sheri.”
“Julie and John went above and beyond to make sure our pups were well taken care of and they were wonderful in keeping us updated with messages and pictures. It made being states away much easier! We would definitely book with Julie and John again!”
“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”
“Britney is, without question, the absolute BEST! Several years ago I needed to find a place to take Oliver, my Cavalier King Charles. I was very hesitant to leave him overnight with anyone. After several stays with Britney over the years, I realize I made the right decision. Britney not only keeps me posted with daily pictures, but she has a real legitimate love for dogs. And Oliver? He always has a blast! And I can tell after pickiing him up that he definitely misses Britney and his furry friends!”
“My dog's Maui and Lobo are extremely attached to the family, specially to me; and I've been really anxious about leaving them with someone else ( 1st time for them and me the separation)thought they might be too sad or behave badly for the person watching them)Lisa did a wonderful job with them they are spoiled and loved; She send pictures and updates everyday and we felt great knowing ours babies ?? are in good hands; The backyard are secure and just right for my babies to have room to play or enjoyed the sunny day's; We are so glad we found Lisa!! Felt very safe; Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of them; We will definitely use Lisa for our dog boarding from now on.?”
“Jennifer gave us peace of mind while we are on vacation. She continued to give us updates and sent pictures of our baby. This is Kelly’s vacation home while we are away. See you soon Jennifer.”
“Our dog was well taken care of, and we received daily updates. Jingyi took the time to care for her coat, which other sitters haven't. When we picked her up, our dog was brushed, cleaned, and fed. Thank you, Jingyi!”
“Swati & her family are amazing human beings! More than taking care of Pattu, they became good friends. I will recommend them to anyone who loves their pet and wants their pet to be well taken care of! 100 star experience! Thank you for being very passionate about doing this Swati.”
“Sarah is seriously such an amazing person and dog care taker! Traveling is stressful sometimes as it is but knowing someone like Sarah was watching our golden retriever Frank put my wife and I at ease. I would recommend Sarah highly for any of your pet needs!”
“Elaine was amazing. Like most people I treat my dog like my child so it was very important to me she was well cared for. Elaine’s communication was top notch, I received multiple photos each day and she always responded in a reasonable time when I was checking in, which I did a lot! Dallas (my dog) also got a few pup cups and chicken in her dinner (after checking with me if that was okay first). Dallas seemed to have a great time and I would absolutely use her again, in fact I insist!!”
“What can I say!!!!! What an INCREDIBLE experience!!! This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to have found Tracey! An incredible woman with a loving family and an amazing way with our furbabies! This was our biggest concern, our dogs are like family to us, they live, sleep, eat, inside the house. They are used to apartment life although we recently moved into a large house with a yard and after only being here for a few months we leave for a planned vacation, I know they were probably thinking... WTH!!! Tracey quickly remedied any concerns we may have had, our two large dogs seemed to fit right in with her crew. Ranger is pretty easy going for an old man, but we often refer to Roxie as "Anxious Agnes" her anxiety levels are through the roof sometimes. They both seemed to adjust to Tracey and her home like they had lived there forever! While onboard the ship we received updates and pictures when possible and when we arrived back home, I'm not sure they wanted to leave! LOL Thank you so much Tracey for inviting us into your home and including our family as part of yours! I'm sure this is only the first of many vacations these two troublemakers will get to look forward to spending with you and yours!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were quite apprehensive about leaving our sweet dog Anu with strangers. However, the moment we met Keyuana, we knew she would be the perfect choice for us. She welcomed us into her lovely home, asked all the right questions regarding our dog, patiently listened to our long list of questions, and understood all our concerns. Anu stayed with Keyuana for 3 weeks while we were traveling. During this time, we received daily updates from her regarding Anu’s routine, as well as some adorable pictures of Anu looking right at home. Needless to say, Keyuana will be our go-to person if we ever need to board Anu again in the future!”
“I'm so glad Amy & Daniel took care of Marble when I was on a trip. Marble got such good care and love and had so much fun with them and their pups. Amy & Daniel are also great at communicating. They send pictures and updates at the end of each day. I'd definitely choose them again the next time I need someone to help taking care of Marble.”
“Salene and her husband did so well with my baby. Salene responded quickly, sent pictures, and kept me updated. Very professional. She has the sweetest dogs and big backyard. My dog is not comfortable around many people but he felt right at home. I will for sure use Salene again. We have found our new babysitter!!”
“Philly had a wonderful time staying with them! He was there over the holidays for a little over a week and had the best time! They loved his energy and kept me updated everyday with a picture and message. Philly loved their yard and house. 10/10!”

Brooke accepted my last minute SOS for dog sitting our crabby little chihuahua Sophie. As it turns out, she was on her best behavior, but no doubt that was from Brooke making her feel loved and right at home. I would love to have Sophie stay there again. It means so much to find someone you trust and know has your pet's best interests at heart!
Keyuana and her husband looked after my dogs while I was away on a short trip. They asked if they could schedule a meet and greet to meet both of my dogs. Loved the fact that they care about how comfortable a dog feels before having them. My dogs loved Keyuana and her husband, although I’m sure they missed mom 😅, I know for a fact that they were well taken care of. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter so Keyuana made sure I felt at ease and sent updates and pictures as often as possible. Both of my dogs are reactive so she made sure she understood their triggers and how to work with them if needed. I will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future if needing a dog sitter again.
We used Jay & Caitlin again recently for a last minute family emergency, and they were amazing. They responded quickly and were incredibly accommodating on short notice, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a stressful time. Just like before, communication was great, and they kept us updated with messages and photos. It’s such a relief knowing we have people we can trust when unexpected situations come up. We’re so grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, caring sitters!
We had an excellent experience with Tyra while she cared for our dog, Kona, for a two-week stay. Kona was incredibly well taken care of and clearly had a blast with Tyra and her family—it truly felt like a home away from home. Tyra’s communication was consistent and thoughtful throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and attentive in adjusting to Kona’s schedule and needs, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience and will absolutely be booking with Tyra again. Highly recommend!
This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier! My dog Kimmy was so well taken care of. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I was a little nervous at first since I’d never tried the service before, but Kirizma made the whole experience easy and stress free. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care and will definitely be using her again!
I left my dog with HUILI for the weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She kept me constantly updated with adorable pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent — always prompt and thoughtful with her replies. My dog looked happy and well-cared for throughout the stay. Everything went smoothly with absolutely no issues. I highly recommend HUILI to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Will definitely book with her again!
Sabrina was a phenomenal dog sitter for our Boston Terrier (Harley) during our 5-night trip. From the start, she was helpful and considerate by picking up Harley for us. While we were away, she kept us updated with daily photos and messages, and it was clear our dog was not just being watched, but genuinely loved. She came home calm, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Sabrina is trustworthy, detail-oriented, and a true dog lover. We highly recommend her for all your dog-sitting needs.
