We were so happy with the care Erin provided for our labradoodle! Erin provided morning and evening updates and pictures each day, and was always upbeat and positive. Mocha can sometimes be little anxious, particularly in a new setting, but did great with Erin and her 2 sweet dogs. Thank you!

Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.

Betsy did an amazing job watching my miniature dachshund. I was originally going to bring him to a boarder, but after doing a test appointment it seemed like a really bad fit. He was very afraid & I definitely would've worried about him the entire time I was gone. I am SO glad I didn't go that route & instead tried out Rover & brought my little dog to Betsy because she was able to provide a comfortable environment for him. She sent updates & photos while I was out of town on a trip, which I loved! I definitely knew my dog was in great hands. Price was reasonable too! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!!

Maria and her family were so wonderful to work with! My dog stayed with her for 10 days for his first stay and her communication was amazing. Pictures and updates each day! And so flexible with pick up and drop off times. Our plans changed a few times before the stay took place and then we had a delayed flight returning home, and she was happy to work with us and our changing schedule. Will totally use her services again!!

Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!

Martha and Eric are truly perfect Rover sitters. They have a fenced in yard, Eric works from home, and you can tell that they both love dogs. Our dog Ruby stayed with them for the first time for five nights. We received regular updates, photos, and videos and knew consistently that she was getting the best care. Ruby had so much fun here we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home with us.

Kevin was a great host and was very easy to communicate with from the request for a meet-and-greet to pick-up time. His dog Charlotte is darling, and I think my Milty may have fallen in love with her. I'm told they got along very well, and I'm so pleased Milty had this opportunity to bond with another dog. Milty stayed with Kevin for four nights, and I have complete confidence that he was well cared for and well loved during his stay. I got lots of pictures, which put my mind at ease while I was out of town and brought me a lot of joy as well. I highly recommend Kevin as a sitter and will definitely book a stay for Milty again the next time I'm out of town.

Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.

Amy was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. We received multiple pictures while we were away and did not worry at all that our dog was both being cared for but also having fun. As a bonus, our dog was exhausted from playing when he got home and slept the entire day after his stay.
