1. Rebecca J.
“Rebecca was great! She provided excellent care and love to our pup while we were out of town for the weekend. Rebecca was very responsive and sent lots of pics and updates! I would highly recommend her services.”
2. Andrew C.
“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”

“Loved Voss and his family Artic felt right at home I think and they were patient and kind to my little baby stitch. Thanks guys for helping even though it was only a few days notice!”
4. Jason & Brooke C.
“Brooke and Jason as well as their kids took such great care of our little Lucy. We got lots of updates including photos and could tell Lucy settled right in with their family for the week having so much fun. We were very happy to hear the kids gave her lots of love too since Lucy is especially fond of them. We won’t hesitate to have Brooke and Jason watch Lucy again in the future.”
5. Kathryn M.
“My two dogs loved staying at Kathryn’s house for a long weekend. Kathryn sent pictures and updates each day and I can tell they felt right at home. They seemed to absolutely loved her large, fenced yard- the pictures of them playing outside were great. We will definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!”

7. Lauren S.
“Lauren is a dog lover and I am very pleased and happy with her taking a good care of my dog. She updated me everyday with photos of my dog and condition of my dog that made me felt comfortable and relaxed while I was gone from home. She is always smiling, kind and considerate for dogs. I would recommend her for anyone for needs a dog sitter. I surely will contact her again next time when we need one.”
8. Shelby B.
“Shelby did a great job watching our dog! We left her for a full week while we were on vacation and she looked great when we got her back. Shelby sent lots of pictures and videos and was very responsive to any questions or messages we sent her.”
9. Mary Elizabeth M.
“Mary Elizabeth was amazing! She introduced our 2 Australian shepherds to her pup outside the apartment so they all meshed well when going in. She sent regular photos and even did a Halloween photo shoot with our pups! They did not want to leave when we picked them up. Would love to have her watch them again!”
10. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer has taken care of our Labradoodle since moving here to Lexington 2 years ago. We have been very happy because our dog is happy when he stays with her and happy when he comes home. This trip we ran into travel delays because of the storms last night here in Kentucky. Jennifer was so accommodating with our travel delays. Thank you Jennifer for taken good care of our dog.”
11. Amanda T.
“Amanda goes above and beyond. This was our first time re-booking and she put so much thought into Bunny’s visit! Always excellent with sending updates and photos. We feel so comfortable leaving our puppy with Amanda!”
12. Nancy E.
“Extremely please with our experience with Nancy. This was our first time using Rover and she helped to make it a great one. Nancy is very responsive and it is obvious out Maggie had a great time. We highly recommend and will definitely use Nancy in the future.”
13. Amy H.
“Amy loves dogs more than just about anybody I know--she sees one on the street and can't help but drop down to their level to have a conversation and a snuggle. Even my anxious, high-maintenance pit bull would consider her one of his all-time favorite people. She is also the most responsible dog mom: ever since bringing him home from the humane society, Amy's pup is always up to date on his meds and check-ups, she grooms him and clips his nails herself, they play and exercise together, and thanks to her patience and dedicated training, he is marvelous on a leash, with people, and with other dogs. (She also spoils him--I have seen her serve him warmed kibble on a literal china plate because all the other plates were "dirty." lol.) The times we've been lucky enough to go out of town and have Amy dog-sit are the times I have been able to relax the most because I know he's in excellent hands--he is always more sad to see her go than he is happy to see us come back! Amy is simply the best.”
14. Sarah R.
“We’ve used several pet sitters through Rover and Sarah is by far the best one we’ve had. She went above and beyond with keeping us updated on our senior dog for 9 days while we were on vacation and she even gave her a bath before we picked her up. Our dog is high maintenance with lots of medications and Sarah just took the best care of her and gave us peace of mind while we were away. I could tell that she genuinely loves animals and really cared about our dog. She will be our pet sitter from now on! Thanks Sarah for everything!!”
15. Tia A.
“Tia was wonderful with Blondie. We highly appreciated her loving care, as well as the time she took taking pictures and videos, and sending them to us. Blondie looked perfectly happy and content.”
16. Brian C.
“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
17. Kath & Jordan R.
“My dog, Bowser had a great stay with Kath & Jordan! They were very communicative throughout the stay and I was confident he was in good hands, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend them and would love to board with them again in the future!”
18. Amber W.
“Amber was a great sitter for our dog Lola, and we would definitely choose her again! Throughout our week-long vacation, we enjoyed getting pictures and updates of Lola having fun with Amber's other dogs. Loved that they have a fenced yard and are home a lot. Also, when our plane was canceled and we had to extend our booking by a whole day, Amber was super sweet and accommodating. Definitely recommend her to watch your pup!”
19. Jody L.
“Jody was amazing with Pepper! She treated her as if she was her own pet the two weeks that we were away. We will definitely ask Jody and her family to watch Pepper the next time we take a vacation. Thanks again, Jody!”
20. Mae Ling S.
“Mae Ling was so loving and helpful. We just adopted 3 months ago and she made the entire experience smooth and simple. We will definitely be using her services again!”
