“I have and will continue to keep sending my pup to stay with brittany. She is great at communicating, quick to reply, and always sends several pictures during the stay. My dog gets lots of play time in her large backyard and is always well taken care of!”
“Alyssa and her furry fam were wonderful! We received lots of photos and updates regarding our pup's activities. He had so much fun romping with his two new friends. Alyssa will definitely be at the top of our list next time we need a doggy sitter. Thanks Alyssa!”
“Ruby loves staying with Stephanie! I love that I don’t need to worry about Ruby while I’m gone as Stephanie takes excellent care of her and gives her lots of attention!”
“Was perfect for our dog. Angie communicated and sent pictures regularly. This was the first time we have left our dog with someone besides family and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend.”
“We were in town with our pup for a few days and were looking to get out for a day and were able to get a last minute booking with Griffin to dog sit and he was terrific with our Milo. He sent us frequent updates along with photos to put us at ease so we could enjoy our day in the city. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was quick responder and saved us from a very stressful last minute cancellation from another sitter. She sent lots of pics and updates from the weekend, putting as at ease. Would highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Molly seems to have enjoyed her time with Evelyn and clearly she enjoyed playing hall with the boys. Molly ate her food, which is a sign she was comfortable and not too lonely.”
“Kaiya did great and loved the extra attention and buddies to play with. I also really appreciated Kelly's flexibility with our schedule. Would happily book again!”
“Sara was so sweet. She sent me updates and pictures of the boys while we were gone. She has a very clean home and large backyard. She is detailed and wants to know all about your pet so that she can provide the best care for them. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Melissa was so amazing my dogs had an awesome time!! She was perfect she had great communication sent plenty of photos l!! Her home was very nice and clean!! Our dogs seemed extremely happy and well taken care of!! We will definitely use Melissa every time we need a sitter 💜❤️”
“Nicole is the reason I was able to spend a week with my GREAT grandchild whom I’d never met! Knowing Loki wasn’t simply cared for, but loved and treated like one of the family, gave me the peace of mind I needed to do this. He always has such a good time with her kids and dogs… to the point he mopes when he has to come home. As soon as I show him a picture of where he is going he gets excited and wants to grab the leash to go. If that doesn’t say exceptional care.. nothing does! Thank you , Nicole. You will always be my first choice from now on! Y’all are amazing and a perfect fit for a high energy dog whom still thinks he’s a puppy! ❤️”
“Tori and her family were great! Flexible with my changing arrangements and Ziggy seemed to have a great time! He’s been dog tired since we picked him up, so that’s a sign he had fun!”
“We love Cassie and Ben so much for our dog that we actually changed the dates of our trip so our dog could stay with what worked for their schedules. They are the absolute best! We will continue to use them every time we need a home away from home for our dog.”
“Fantastic dog sitter. She gave me updates as I needed as well as provided photos of Dojo. Would recommend her services to anyone who wishes to have their mind at ease while they’re out of town or what have you. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Linda was amazing! She was an absolute lifesaver and did great with my little dog (who can be a bit energetic and needy at times). Linda never missed a beat, and even sent little updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend, and your dogs are in EXCELLENT hands with her!”
Merriam dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dallas may have enjoyed her vacation even more than we enjoyed ours 😂 Angie and her family took amazing care of Dallas while we were away. They gave her so much love, attention, and plenty of pets, and it was clear she felt right at home. Their large backyard was perfect for playtime, and their joyful, caring family made us feel completely at ease. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily trust Angie with Dallas again!
Kylee took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle while we were away for 10 days in Italy. She kept in great contact, sending daily photos and videos. She spoiled our dog by taking him on 2 walks per day, more than he gets at home! She cared for him like he was her own. I’d highly recommend her!
Melissa & her family took great care of my dog. She was very smooth to book with, incredibly communicative before & during the process, shared lots of updates & photos & very obviously took great care of my dog. He was very happy when he came home! I would rebook with her 10/10!
My dog Charlie gets so excited when we say that she’s going to Pamela‘s and will get to play with Pamela’s dog, Zeke. It’s so great to know that Charlie is having fun and attention when we are out of town. I never have to worry about her health and happiness. Pamela always sends great pics and has been so helpful and accommodating. I don’t know what we would do without her!
This was my first time using Kasey and I could not be happier doing so! Kasey's attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond taking care of my senior puppy provided this very anxious pet parent the reassurance that he was in the best hands for his care! Kasey does an amazing job with keeping you up to date with pictures and videos so you can rest assure that everything is going well!
Our furbaby Azuki has stayed with Deanna and her family 3 separate times now. She’s taken wonderful care of Azuki and has given her so much attention and love. I appreciate Deanna being available and willing to take Azuki on short notice and keeping me updated on how she’s doing. Azuki looks forward to staying with her again in the future!
