“You and your family were truly wonderful. Thank you so much for embracing my fur baby and making him feel right at home. The constant reassurance, the beautiful pictures, and the updates meant more to me than you know. I could tell he was being loved and well cared for the entire time. You were also incredibly flexible and attentive, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful for the care you gave — we will definitely be back! A++++++++”
“Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!”
“I want to acknowledge how professional and well organized Iman handles her business. I am a first time pet owner and Rover user. I had to leave town for 6 days for a vacation. I had anxiety around who was going to care for my pet. I did a google search and stumbled across this platform. Iman picture was highlighted for me. My spirit felt like she would be the one to choose. I’m proud to say that I was not wrong in following that inner voice. Iman took care of my pet better than me. I enjoyed the warm welcome with a personalized sign. I was able to walk in the house to see Ace also had friends to play with and a doggy play area. My Ace normally barks at strangers but he seemed comfortable with Iman right away. He received high quality luxury style care. The activities, videos and pictures updates were comforting and entertaining to watch. I don’t want to give all her secrets away I love that she celebrated his birthday with a paint party. I also love how happy he looked the entire time. I was impressed with the level of experience Iman has. I also appreciate that she makes dog food and my pet seem to like her food more. I will be ordering food for him. I will also use Iman for all my future pet needs. I think I have hit a goldmine with her services. I have no need to seek out anyone else. I am throughly satisfied with the love and care provided to my Ace. My trip was extended a day due to unforeseen circumstances at the airport and Iman did not hesitate to provide extended care. I recommend her services to anyone who needs it. I promise you will not be disappointed.”
“Janet is phenomenal! The MOST caring and kind dog mom and sitter! She is very patient with my 7 month puppy while he is developing his manners. She provides a lovely home and environment for my pup, who runs to the door whenever he is going to stay with Janet. She is simply the best!”
“Amy was AMAZING!!!!!! My dog was able to run outside, go on walks and car rides, he cuddled up on the couch. Amy gave me updates with pictures and videos, my family loved seeing how his vacation was going and we looked forward to seeing the friends he made”
“Tanisha and Darrius are the best doggie boarding team! Tanisha administered my Snuggles medicine and even got her to take the one she can be stubborn about. This was my first time leaving my pup for days at time for vacation. I was so nervous but she kept checking in and giving me updates that made me feel comfortable so I could enjoy my birthday trip with no worries! I highly Recommend them, Snuggles came home happy and healthy! It makes a difference when they love fur babies as much as you. Thank you so much Tanisha and Darrius!”
“Kendra accommodated me as I booked her the day of to watch my pup for the weekend. She updated me daily with pictures and took care of my Duke. Would highly recommend”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you Candace & Steve. They are the best dog sitters! As soon as we dropped off Rocco, he couldn't stop wagging his tail. The day after we picked him up, he looks a little sad... like his missing Pumpkin. Beside missing Rocco in our travels, we are never worried about the care Candace & Steve provide. We so appreciate the pictures and the daily update on how Rocco is doing. If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. Thanks Candace & Steve!”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“Sandy was absolutely exceptional for our first time using an over night stay with our 4 month old puppy. Sandy helped us be at ease with lots of photos and amazing care, our puppy had the best time and we even think felt sad to leave Sandy’s care! We are so grateful for her.”
“Kori obviously had a great time at Jim’s. Jim is very organized and attended to my senior dog’s needs well in the quiet and relaxed environment she needs. I would feel comfortable having Kori stay with Jim again.”
“I am so glad to have had the pleasure to meet Stefanie. I was in a real bind trying to find a last minute sitter for my dog Shelby. Although I was a bit nervous because my dog usually travels with me, Stefanie assured me that all would be OK. I left feeling totally comfortable and confident that I would be leaving Shelby in good hands. Except for a small hiccup in times, everything was GREAT!! I would definitely recommend and l, will for sure be using her again. Thanks Stefanie!!”
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
“They took excellent care of my dog. Picture and video were sent to let me know that my dog was doing fine. I will definitely use them again. Great service 👏”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”

Merrionette Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mercedes! This was our second time booking with her, and after our first experience, my mom even felt comfortable sending her puppy this time too. From the moment our dogs arrive, it’s obvious they are treated like part of the family. She takes them on plenty of walks, sends lots of pictures and updates, and truly gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Her whole family clearly loves having the dogs around, and it shows in the care and attention they receive. When we picked up our dog, she had even given her a bath, so she came home looking extra clean and happy! As if that wasn’t enough, she sent us home with the sweetest care package, complete with an adorable picture of our dog on the front. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We never have to worry about whether our dog is being well cared for because we know she is in the best hands. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! ❤️
Absolutely by far the best dog sitter ever! Amy updates us everyday. She kept my dog busy and entertained with all sorts of toys on top of that go on walks with him. My dog looked so happy and comfortable from all the pictures and videos she took of him! 120% going back to Amy when I need a dog sitter!
This was the first time we used Rover and we couldn't be happier. Matt was great with our 4 year old German Shepherd. He gave her plenty of attention and played ball with her. He sent me pictures and videos everyday. She stayed there for 7 nights and when we picked her up, she was excited to see us but was not trying to leave. She felt at home there and very well cared for. I am more than pleased.
This is our first time using Rover and Kendra made us comfortable and was very accommodating! She even got toys for our boys. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures. Fetty can be very anxious and they can be reactive to dogs, she was patient and worked well with them. We will definitely be using her in the future ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matt & Leslie are absolutely amazing! My 15-year-old Australian Shepherd, Bear, requires special attention with his medication, mobility, and feeding, and they cared for him with such compassion and dedication. They even built a ramp to make Bear more comfortable during his stay — that level of thoughtfulness meant the world to me. They also sent me daily photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for Bear was. It is such a blessing to find people who treat your dog like family. I feel SO BLESSED to have found Matt & Leslie, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. Five stars all the way!
Mark was great with answering my questions, and quick to respond to! Mark sent photos of how my dog was doing which I appreciated and made me feel like he was really being taken care of. He was great with my dog and I will not hesitate to ask Mark to watch him again.
Ella did a great job with Winston - a 20 week old puppy. It is not easy to take care of a teething, high-energy puppy. We did not know what to expect as this was the first time Winston was boarded with someone he didn't know for several days/nights. We received frequent updates with pictures. Winston enjoyed playing with her dog and fenced back yard. He didn't want to leave. We will definitely leverage her services in the future.
