“Eric was great and very communicative. Ozzy had such a fun time playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be utilizing Eric for future boarding needs.”
“Tomoe and her family took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. This was our first experience with Rover.com and I’m so grateful that we lucked upon Tomoe - we would recommend without hesitation.”
“Our dog George has stayed with Karin several times and it's worked out wonderfully! Karin is really thoughtful about the details around the hand-offs, and how to make her furry visitors feel comfortable and welcome in her home. Both times George has stayed with Karin he has come home a relaxed and happy guy which is always reassuring. We greatly appreciate the updates and photos that Karin sends and the outstanding communication overall. It has made any concern we had about leaving George behind disappear quickly.”
“This was Benny's 3rd stay with Kira and it should probably tell you how we feel about her that I've stored her address in my GPS as "Camp Kira"! Kira's setup is excellent and Benny loves her big, fenced yard. But even more important, Kira clearly loves and understands dogs.”
“Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Rob was very professional, kind and accommodating, and kept us updated on Lilly's status the entire time we were away. She got plenty of exercise and seemed right at home with him and his dogs. Thanks, Rob! :)”
“We've used Rover sitters many times, and Yick-hong is one of the best! He clearly loves dogs and was great with our four-year old beagle Ruthie. He took her for a variety of walks, gave her doggie puzzles to solve, and snuggled with her on the couch. He sent us photos and videos two or three times a day. Will definitely call on him again to take care of our pooch.”

“Thank you so much Nally for taking care of my Leo! 😍 I just went on a business trip to Texas and had a last minute change with my other sitter and was in a bind. I was so stressed out because I wanted to find good care for my puppy. Nally literally came to my rescue. Everyday she sent me photos and videos of my babe and I can tell with her expertise and experience taking care of dogs that my puppy was in good hands. Couldn’t have found a better person to care for him. Thanks so much! Leo will love to go back to your care Nally! You’re the best ❤️😍”
