“Erin was such a great sitter for our pup! She responded quickly, was flexible, and most importantly our dog had a safe and happy stay. I almost didn’t want to leave a review so I can keep her all to myself- ha. We will definitely book with Erin again!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”
“Betsy is wonderful! My pup snuggled up to her right away. She sent pics and updates each day. She worked with me on pick and drop off times and everything went smoothly. Back at home Echo seems perfectly content, which is a sign for me that she was well cared for. Betsy will be my number one choice for future pup sitting needs.”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our dog with Kira. We were very happy with the care given to Milo. She kept us updated on day to day with pics. Highly recommend Kira for anyone who need best care for their dog.”
“Tim was a great host for Sasha! He sent pictures through her stay and updates, and she was extremely happy when picked up. We will definitely reach out again if he is available!”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Great care and lots of play/walk time with updates and photos throughout, which was really appreciated. Loved that they had a couple other dogs there during the week so Henry could get a lot of stimulation/activity. I would love to use again.”
“Promise is very friendly and caring for dogs. We had a meet and greet before the actual boarding. She really took time to make sure that Aka feels not nervious at her place. She also sends pictures of Aka every day! She is amazing! I truly appreciate her!! At the end of the 5 day boarding period, Aka was cuddling with her dogs Diego and Gizmo! It was so cute to watch them becoming good friends!! Will defintely come back and book again!!”
“Dezi loves Colleen and Joe and Nico. He ran to Colleen when we arrived to drop him off and was immediately right at home. They send us pictures and updates and take the best care of him.”
“Kaylie is great! You can tell she loves dogs! She kept me apprised with pictures and notes about Swervo. You and your pup/s will love her. I will hire her again!”
“Henry seemed to really enjoy his stay! Lots of room outside to run around with his new pals. Lydia was very communicative & sent lots of pictures which is greatly appreciated! We’ll definitely be using Lydia again in the future :•)”
“Good communication and friendly. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. He also spent time with two kids in the house, and they were very respectful of him; playing and loving on him.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Maria was so caring and sweet with my Josie. I can tell she received top notch care and was loved while I was away. Maria sent me many pictures and videos of Josie so that I didn’t miss her as much. I would use Maria again anytime!”
“Arianna did an excellent job caring for Howie- she was incredibly thorough, communicative, gave timely updates, asked great questions, and kept thorough notes while watching my dog. I’d recommend her to anyone- even pets like mine with quite a bit of separation anxiety!”
“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“We had a great experience boarding with Susie! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. In fact, after seeing the photos and getting reports, we were worried our dog may not want to come home with us! Thank you!”

Z is so tired! He came straight home and snuggled in on the couch with me after a night away at Jesika's. She's got an amazing place with a nice, shady, grassy area right out front for taking pups out and she's close to plenty of trails. I'd be more than happy to use her Rover services again.
Deneen took wonderful care of my dog for 5 days. He was pampered with many walks and snuggles. We received regular updates and communication before and throughout the visit. Deneen successfully administered medicine for an ear infection, which is easier said than done asy dog is incredibly particular and sensitive about his ears. We are very grateful for the care received!
Arianna did a great job taking care of my dog Chief in her home while I was out of town for several days. Chief has some anxiety around new people and places but felt right at home with her! She provided photos and updates of him, so I recommend her services to anyone needing help with their pets.
Carly took wonderful care of our dog Marty while we were away! We could tell he had a great time when we picked him up. She was quick to respond to messages throughout our booking process and during Marty's stay, and she sent us photos to let us know he was doing well. We will definitely book with Carly again, highly recommend!
Grace is awesome! We were going out of town for memorial day weekend for a wedding and totally forgot to book a dog sitter until the week before. Woody loved his time with Grace and it’s clear that he was very well taken care of. Grace is awesome at communicating before, during, and after the reservation. she took TONS of photos of Woody throughout the days that he was there and the constant updates from her were so nice and so needed since this was my first time using a dog sitter on rover. i’m such an anxious dog mom but Grace really eased my mind with her updates and photos which i appreciated so much.
Erika was so great with our pup! We loved getting updates and knowing he was living his best life (hanging in the yard, meeting new friends, getting lots of snuggles, etc!), and we appreciated Erika's communication, especially when some rainstorms were making him really anxious. 😭 We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.
