“Evelyn was great! My two bulldogs boarded with Evelyn for one night. One of my dogs is anxious in new places and Evelyn did her best to ease his nerves. She was so successful that he barely left her side the next day when she was working from home. 😆 She had all their items ready to go at pick up & helped me get all the items loaded back into my car.”
“Deanna continues to be a godsend. After canceled flights and travel changes, she was so flexible and accommodating and continued to love on our pup until we could eventually get home. She’s the best!”
“Stephanie was great with Coco and Mickey! She kept us updated and sent us photos of them. The pups had fun during their stay. Stephanie was very caring and listened to us about the care that both dogs need it! She asked questions to make sure she accommodated all their needs. I highly recommend her to everyone! We will definitely keep her in mind if we need someone to take care of our dogs while we are out of town!”

We’re so grateful and would highly recommend her services without hesitation. Thank you, Xua!”

Merriam dog parents share their Rover experiences
Pepper always has a ball at Sydney’s house! She loves her dogs and Sydney takes great care of Pepper and treats her like one of her own. Pepper even gets excited when we turn onto Sydney’s street. Pepper is always well adjusted and happy when I pick her up. I never worry about one single thing when pepper is with Sydney.
Emily and Jake are excellent Rover sitters! They always take such great care of Daisy, especially giving her extra snuggles when she has major anxiety during storms. Daisy loves their backyard and always feels so at ease at their house. Emily is very responsive and keeps me updated with photos and videos of Daisy while we're away! I highly recommend Emily and Jake!
Je’Lynn was a fantastic dog sitter. She let us come do a meet and greet with her and their dog Mia, and we could tell right away that our dog would be comfortable and safe there. Je’Lynn sent a lot of pictures and videos and kept us up to date the entire trip. Her house is very clean and dog friendly, and her dog Mia was very sweet and played nicely with ours. We’ll definitely use Je’Lynn for our next trip!
Jennifer is highly recommended! Her communication was great and kept us posted on how Teddy was doing during his visit. Our dog typically travels with us and we haven’t been apart for an extended period in about 5 years, and her care and support put our minds at ease while we were away. She wants your pets experience to be loving and positive.
Winnie had an absolute blast! I loved watching all the videos of her playing and being loved on. I really appreciate Shey’s flexibility with my delayed pickup and her incredible extra care! I felt I can trust my Winnie girl is safe and well taken care of with her.
Crystal is amazing! We continue to use her any time we have to go out of town and she takes such great care of our dog. He came home happy, calm, and clearly well loved. Super communicative, reliable, and kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy care!
I am so grateful for Katrina! Not only did she save us at the last minute and take care of our baby like her own, but our pup has made some wonderful new friends. She was so thoughtful and considerate throughout the process. I don’t know how we would’ve managed if we didn’t know our girl was in such good hands. We missed our pup like crazy but Katrina shared frequent updates, pictures, and videos so we knew what our little one was up to. Basically, Katrina is amazing!
We are OBSESSED with how amazing Katie and Dave are. I am so thankful that when traveling out of the country for a week, it truly felt like we had our own family watching our dog. They are so wonderful with updates and communication; their dog Nova is just the SWEETEST and we just truly couldn’t ask for anything better. Thank you Katie, Dave and Nova!!!
