“Janel is amazing as always! We have older pups and she is confident in handling meds and looking out for them. My pups love the lil vacation away and to be able to play with new friends. I always appreciate her pics so much to see what they are up to. We are thankful repeat customers 💜”
2. Megan K.
“Wilson spent his first night away from family in a long time but he was very well taken care of and loved like he was home. Usually when he's away he doesn't eat much but Megan said he ate all his breakfast and went outside to play. She really does a great job with him.”
3. Jamyla Y.
“Jamyla was absolutely amazing! This was my 1st time using the Rover app. I had someone cancel the morning of my trip. I was nervous that I wouldn't find anyone. Jamyla stepped right in and took great care of my fur baby. She sent daily pictures and videos and kept me updated. I would highly recommend her to anyone needed assistance! I honestly can't say enough about her. She will definitely be my 1st choice!”
4. Tavonne K.
“Tavonne did a great job taking care of my puppy while out of town. She sent pictures, videos and text to assure us that our dog was not only safe but happy. It made us feel confident that she was in great hands”
5. Julie & Kenneth N.
“Caring sitters. Julie provided me with daily updates and pictures of my babies. This is the longest stretch that I had left them and the daily updates made me feel better. I will definitely use their services again! Thank you, Julie and Kenneth, Ethan and of course Louis, their fur baby.”
6. Lisa R.
“Lisa took excellent care of my pup for a full week. He came home happy and tired! I really appreciated all the pictures and messages, keeping me up to date on his stay.”
7. Mary G.
“Mary was amazing. Her vet experience was great, as our puppy got sick just before we left and she gave her any remaining medicine no problem. We got daily pictures and videos and could tell she was having a great time with her kids and dogs. She even made a new best friend with Mary’s golden retriever. Would definitely recommend Mary and go to her again”
8. Tameka B.
“Tameka was fantastic. She kept me abreast of what was going on with Justice and sent plenty of pictures for me to enjoy. I'll definitely be a return customer the next time I have to leave the state.”
9. Breeona W.
“Breeona and her family took good care of our dog and I strongly recommend her for dog boarding services. Since this was the first overnight boarding for our dog, we used a 1d daycare as a practice run. It worked well and from there on I knew our dog will be in good hands and will have a great time. Breeona also kept us well informed, sent photos and messages on how things are going. For us it was also important that she only accepts one animal at a time for boarding and that the dog is treated as part of the family and not crated. If I need a boarding service again, Breeona will be the number one to contact on my list.”
10. Kamie & Patrick N.
“Wow, this family is amazing. I don’t know where to start because I would not have enough characters to explain how much we appreciated Patrick and Kamie. They really showed Penny a lot of love while we were on vacation. We had updates and pictures sent several times a day, and they showed how they engaged Penny with a variety of things that made her happy. I absolutely would recommend this family for all of your pet needs. Our top choice for Penny always!!!”
11. Reginald & Kelly V.
“This was my first time booking a sitter with Rover and I’m so glad I was able to find Reginald and Kelly to care for my pomchi Ruby! She absolutely loved them! They sent pics and videos of her during her stay and she looked so comfortable. I’m usually very nervous about leaving Ruby but seeing how well she was being cared for really helped to ease my anxiety. They’re such a nice couple and they really care about the pets they’re watching. I’ll definitely book with them again!!”
12. Anyiga C.
“Anyiga was amazing with our one year old german shepherd on very short notice and saved our trip! She was great working with our girl and socializing her with her dogs, she sent plenty of updates and pictures, would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again!”
13. Brittany S.
