1. Tracey C.
“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!!!”
2. Mary C.
“Mary is awesome!! She is an all-around animal Whisperer. She came to my house to check up on my cat while I was away. She did a house visit ahead of time, and my very elusive cat came up to her right away and within minutes she was petting him. I didn't know how he would do being outdoors a couple of days indoors a couple of days, but she was able to get him to come out from underneath the bed finally after many many minutes of coaxing. She was able to get him to go outside, and then to go back inside several times. I was concerned of how he would do, but she has magic powers, that's all I can say! My dog Ginger went to stay at her house. Mary sent me updates and pictures to show me that Ginger was relaxed and doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I was surprised when I went to pick Ginger up when I got back. I figured she'd be all excited to see me and everything, but she was very calm, and went straight to Mary one last time for goodbye hugs and just rubs. Mary has a kind heart, and great patience, and understands animals and their needs. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their animals. Thank you Mary!”
3. Maria J.
“Maria sent pictures of our dog every day and was super responsive to all of my messages! I could tell she and her husband really welcomed my dog in their home. Will definitely be using her in the future!”

5. Oleksandra M.
“I want to thank Sandra for taking care of my two babies. As a breeder it's important to have a dependable person available. She sent pictures, daily and was always available for questions. She is a really great sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!!😊😊”
6. Amber & Martin P.
“Amber and Martin have kept our young sheepadoodle Oakley multiple times and they always exceed the expectation. They send multiple updates and include pictures of him playing and relaxing. They are responsible with ensuring any toys, harness, leash and food go home with him upon pickup. They are flexible with arrival and pickup times and communication is never an issue when it comes to contacting them. We will continue our business with Amber and Martin as our Doodle grows older and needs a relaxing play day(s).”
7. Brent & Cela C.
“Brent,Cela and their son provide a good environment for our dog, a 7 year old mixed breed rescue. They are attentive, have a large yard, provide daily updates. He is never stressed when we pick him up. Can’t say enough good things about them and the care they provide for the dogs. They are so good to learn each dogs habits and make sure they are comfortable. Highly recommend.”
8. Tracy S.
“Romo had a great time with Holly and Tracy. Tracy was great with giving daily updates when asked, giving us peace of mind while we were away that Romo was also having a good time :)”
9. Lisa S.
“Lisa was great. We know Zoe was treated well, and that her separation anxiety was minimized thanks to Lisa's care. We will no doubt use her again in the future.”

12. Silvia E.
“Oakley loves his Rover sitters and he's well cared for and loved upon. In fact my wife and I think if he ever runs away we know where he will end up. They're awesome sisters!”
13. Namita P.
“Great services, They kept me updated the whole time. They even went out their way to meet me to get the my dog. He is so happy with them and I’m happy to see it because I was so sad about the boarding.”
14. Jingyi Q.
“Jingyi and her family were so wonderful with our pup! She communicated with us frequently before and during the stay, sent many pictures showing how comfortable our girl was at their home, created a wonderful environment for her, and even created a slideshow of all the pictures that were taken on our pup’s “vacation”! Such an incredible sitter with a beautiful home, and plenty of space for our little one to run and roam. Thank you so very much, Jingyi! We’d give 10 stars if we could!!!”
15. Sara T.
“Sara was an absolute Godsent. You came through for me the night before I left for my trip. She was so welcoming and attentive. She sent be multiple pictures and check ins of how my furbabies were doing daily. My heart was at ease and I knew they were well taken care of. She is amazing and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
16. Melissa P.
“Melissa has been amazing with Paris. I cannot even emphasize bow important it is to find a trustworthy pet sitter and Melissa has just been that, for Paris. She shared regular updates via texts and pics - that just helped me stay stress free and concentrate on my work at hand. I would recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for their fut baby to feel loved and cared for”
17. Victoria & Dustin S.
“Victoria and her family were wonderful to treat our English Bulldog, Harley, like their own fur-baby. They kept us posted on how she was doing daily with pictures and videos. They are homeschooling farmers and home most of the time. I was worried that Harley wouldn't want to come home. We appreciate the care they gave our family.”
18. Lisa T.
“Lisa did such a great job with our dog. She communicated so much to tell us how things were going. She was super flexible with making adjustments to make sure our dog felt loved and at home. We will definitely book with Lisa again!!!”
19. Ashley F.
“Hera had an awesome time with Ashley and her husband! I was so grateful that she was able to take her on such short notice! I was in the middle of moving apartments when I got my puppy and my old place was not very pet friendly. She takes amazing pictures of the dogs and sends them along with daily updates of how the stay is going. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone needing a sitter :)”
20. Lisa & David S.
