“First overnight for our puppy with Ruby and her family! As with the last time Cusco spent time at Ruby’s home, he got so much love, attention, and playtime. I received many photos and videos while we were away, always making us feel comfortable and giving updates! I know Cusco is already looking forward to going back :) thank you, Ruby!”
“Kelsey and her family are wonderful dog sitters! She is very communicative.. sending multiple pictures. She made our pup feel very comfortable in her own and we have relief knowing he’s in good hands while away. Highly recommend Kelsey!”
“Susan and Irvin put my mind at ease. Susan sent me pictures and updates by text which helped me with my separation anxiety! I will use their services again!”
“This is the first time leaving my 6 month old puppy. Nicole exceeded all expectations and put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“I am so thankful I found Tonya to watch Kuma. She and her husband were extremely responsive and welcomed my dog into their home over NYE. She provided lots of updates throughout his stay and I know Kuma had a wonderful “vacation” as he made himself right at home based on the many pictures Tonya sent :) I could also tell Tonya was a loving and wonderful sitter because he still kept going to her for pets during pickup (even when his favorite human was also there!) I love that she only takes one client at a time, ensuring that Kuma felt just as spoiled as he does with us. I highly recommend Tonya!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our two dogs with Kandra. She was very responsive and I appreciated her flexibility. We will definitely plan on using her in the future and I would highly recommend her.”
“This was Tasha’s first time taking care of our dog Gizmo while we were on vacation. She did a great job and we could tell that Gizmo enjoyed staying at her place. Thanks, Tasha!”
“We had such a great experience with Grant. He took such good care of my baby, she even came home with better manners than she had when she went to him. Kyra stayed with Grant and his pack for a whole week and the whole time I received updates and pictures of all the fun she was having. After picking her up, Kyra was exhausted which is hard to achieve. My dog had so much fun with the other animals and everyday I received pictures of her daily adventures. His goal is to tire them out and make you feel comfortable about leaving them. I will definitely be using Grant in the future. Thank you, Grant!”
“Tracey was kind and genuinely excited to take care of my dog . She sent me multiple photos, went on weeks, and made me Feel great about leaving my puppy with her!”
“Jacqueline and her family took such great care of our puppy Willow. She was given tons of attention and love while in their care. Jacqueline sent frequent updates and pictures and communicated promptly throughout the stay. I would 1000% recommend her and would love to use her again?”
“Victoria welcomed our 5 month old puppy lovingly and like her own baby! She gave twice a day updates and plenty of pictures which we loved. I also appreciate the 2 walks a day and the immediate responses!”
“Our experience with Erin has been wonderful! In the past, our dog Cinnamon hasn't liked being away from home. But she has been to Erin's multiple times now and is always super excited to go. Erin is an excellent communicator when coordinating dropoff/pickup times and sending photos/updates while Cinnamon is visiting. We are so happy we found her (and Cinnamon is too!)”
“Best dog-care associate ever!! This was the longest I’ve ever left my dog and I didn’t worry a bit. Her home is warm, clean and safe for our little loved ones! 😊”
“Evgenia was great! She was very communicative and sent pictures through out the stay. She seems like she really cares about the animals that stay with her and want to know about them prior to their stay. My pups are tired and happy ☺️”
“I appreciate the communication I received from Leslie throughout our first trial one night stay of my highly anxious, deaf, blind senior miniature pinscher. Leslie clearly has a lot of experience with high needs pets and her competence made me feel more comfortable about leaving my pet in her care. He was high maintenance this visit but Leslie took it all in stride and I’m happy she is willing to take him again in the future.”
About: I’m only taking 1 pet at a time / consecutive day stays are preferred ..we can discuss. My in office days are Tuesday and Wednesday. I have been a Rover customer for 3 years. I will only take short hair pets that don’t shed, I have a Labradoodle. I work from home 3 days a week. Kobe will love to have friends to play with him. I’ll have a new friend to take to the local park with us. Kobe is very friendly , let’s set up a meet and greet to introduce the pets. We have a fenced in back yard , nice!
“This was my dog first time sleeping over. Heidi gave great updates and let me know how he was doing throughout his stay. I definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
“I loved leaving my dog with Melissa and I could tell my dog loved being there too! She felt right right at home as soon as she got there, and Melissa sent me photos and videos. I will definitely book her again!”
“Monica was so great with Otis. She is so welcoming, warm, and dedicated to ensuring he had a great experience. She was so mindful of his dietary and medical needs and provided frequent updates to ensure we knew Otis was having such a great time. Lastly, Monica was flexible when a last minute snafu with scheduling and ensured we were able to get care when we needed. Thank you Monica! Excited to have Otis stay with you again”
“Kazue is amazing. I felt at ease and comfortable during the whole stay. I could not be any happier with their service and kindness she gave us and Zoe. Thank you Kazue for everything!”
