“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Hilary and Wally are great. They are super easy to communicate with, and when our plans are not definite they work with us on pick up and drop off times. They have a fenced in back yard, and our dog loves it there. Hilary is also great about sending pictures during his stay.”

“Lauren was such a great dog sitter! She sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day along with thoughtful updates. She took my dog on walks, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was getting to socialize with her dog and being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. She even arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand! I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!! Thank you Lauren!!!!”

“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”

“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”

“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”

“Excellent experience, as always. Henry has stayed with Matt several times. Matt communicates well and often, is great managing the pack, and my Henry is always happy to go back.”

“I am so grateful that we picked Rhonda and Royal to keep our baby, Roxanne (Foxy Roxy). The went above and beyond to make her feel at home. They sent many pictures and kept communication open. I would love to book with them again in the future! Thanks so much for putting my mind at ease!”

“Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾”

“Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.”

“Kevin and Cierra were amazing and sent tons of pics/videos! Their dog was very kind to Buster and Buster had a great time! Would 100% recommend them and look forward to Buster’s return”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ashley was great with Snickerdoodle. She is very thoughtful and attentive to details. We could instantly see that she loves animals :). As a bonus, she sent us super cute pictures/updates while we were away. I highly recommend Ashley!”

“We had a great stay with Matthew! Returned to a happy pup. Matthew is very conscientious about having a good environment for the dogs he looks after, and I appreciate that! Will definitely be booking with him again!”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

Midlothian dog parents share their Rover experiences
Aaren and Jordon are practically family now. This is the second time they have watched my girl and they take the BEST care of her. They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.

You want your dogs at Franceska’s! Wow, great house and backyard. Their dogs are great and our dogs became great friends. Franceska kept us up to date with pictures and let us know how they were doing daily. They had a great time. We have a senior dog and a puppy; they handled both with ease. Really great people to work with. Will have them take care of our dogs again!

My dog, Penny, had a great time with Michelle and her sweet dog!! Communication was great, and I didn’t worry once while we were out of town. This was my first time leaving my dog with Michelle, and I feel like I’ve hit the lottery!! Absolutely, the best experience and I will definitely be asking her to sit for Penny again…I actually think my dog is a little sad to be home. I cannot be more grateful…

Micaela was amazing! She asked how often I wanted to receive updates, and she would send a detailed update at the end of the day with photos and videos of how their day went. She made sure Peppa was having fun that weekend and got in lots of walks. She was exhausted when I picked her up, and she slept hard. Micaela was flexible with pickup and drop-off time, and I really appreciated the prompt communication.

Julia was such a great fit for our French Bulldog, Marseille. She was playful and attentive and sent plenty of photos with updates. She was also flexible when I needed to extend our booking last-minute. Our dog enjoyed playing with the other pets in Julia’s care. I highly recommend. We will be rebooking.
