“I left my dog with Amanda for 3 weeks and this was my first time booking with Amanda but it has been absolutely awesome and worry-free. Amanda has been responsive, friendly, patient, and accommodating. My dog has had a great time there and gotten well taken care of. I will definitely look to book Amanda’s time in the future again!”



“Such a great place for our dog to stay! She became part of the pack :) we made a strict request that our dog not eat the other dogs food- and the sitter followed that really well. Lots of updates. Would recommend.”


“Sally continues to be just the best babysitting doggie Mom ever! Just the mention of her name sends my girl into a fast trot to the door and a big vocalization to get in the car. ❤️💕😘”


“Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣”

“I had the best experience, leaving my dog with Cindy. She was amazing at caring for him and sending me photos and videos along the way.

Super appreciative of her and can’t wait till the next booking.”

“Jessica was an absolute delight. My dog Lucy loved her as soon as she met her. Jessica kept me updated throughout the weekend, sending me pictures and letting me know how much fun they were having. We were in town for a wedding. Knowing Lucy was being so well cared for allowed my husband and I to enjoy our family and the festivities. Thanks Jessica!”

“I was so impressed by Marylin’s professionalism as well as her knowledge of dogs and their behavior. From the beginning meeting to a trial over night our dog was treated and cared for like he was her own. She was prompt , polite and so easy to work with. She sent us pictures and videos . Her policies were clear as well as all communication. Our dog has a new friend and we have found a safe, fun, caring place for him to stay when we need a place for him. He enjoyed it so much we will set play times for him!”


“This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!”


“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs. ”

The space was clean, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about the dogs they were looking after. I will certainly choose them again in the future!”

She has a fenced yard but also took Brady on long walks and even to an agility course! Highly recommend.”

North Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Smooth stay and Kona seemed very happy at drop off and pick up. She took Kona to get ice cream and sent both pictures and videos during the stay. Would recommend 🙂

Rachel was great! She was very flexible when our drop off and pick up times had to change. We were sent daily updates and pictures during Mabel’s stay. She came home happy and well cared for. Would highly recommend Rachel!

Isabella was great! Millie came home so happy and well taken care of! Will definitely be using her again :)

Riece is my go to sitter for my dog George. Every time he stays I feel comfortable and confident that he is well taken care of and will have a great time!

Abbey was the best! She kept me updated through the whole weekend and included photos and even a daily report card. Would definitely book again!

I have used Devyn for about one year now and have had nothing but great experiences. She keeps my dog safe and happy and I can tell by my dogs behavior when I drop her off that Devyn has become one of her favorite people. Highly recommend!!!!

Gina was incredible to work with from picture updates to how well they loved on my pup! Her and her husband made sure my dog was taken care of extremely well, walked consistently, and made comfortable (he is normally skiddish around new people). I will definitely be using them again!

Anudari is great at providing updates, and our dog Gus always has a wonderful time with her. He gets plenty of playtime and loves exploring the outdoor area—he especially enjoys sniffing around the yard!

Sarah and Colin (and Millie) did such an excellent job with our dog, Olive! They were easy to communicate with and were very professional.

Katelyn was a wonderful sitter, very responsive and great pictures! Our dog really enjoyed staying with her and Nacho!

My dog had a great time staying with Jeffrey and Jessica! Jeffrey was very quick and responsive to all communication, and he took the best pictures! He adapted to my dog’s needs as they developed during her stay. I can tell Jeffrey has a love and respect for animals, which I find very valuable when choosing a dog sitter. I will definitely book with Jeffrey and Jessica again!

Desta helped me out in a pinch and did a phenomenal job with Bishop, sending updates daily to keep me posted regarding his well being - it was like he already knew her / stayed with her before. I almost had to cut my trip short just so he wouldnt forget me as comfortable he was kicking it with Desta lol. Many thanks again - definitely recommend and will request future stays.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Second stay just as amazing as the first! This was our dog’s second time boarding here, and it was just as wonderful as the first — if not better! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. Richard and Sara clearly care so much about the dogs and treats them like family. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised, and it was clear she felt totally comfortable there. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she got lots of attention, playtime, and affection during her stay. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our dog is truly cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again — and we know our dog would be thrilled to go back too!

We had a great experience with Kathleen, as always. She is very flexible and easy to work with. As requested, she sent us lovely pics and updates about him throughout his stay. Looks like he had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave!

Everything ran smoothly. Mickeala made the dropoff and pickup easy and was quick to respond whenever I sent her a message

AJ always takes great care of our golden retriever Beau when we are out of town! Beau is always so spoiled and happy when staying with AJ. We highly recommend AJ and will definitely book with him again in the future!

Brianna was great with Zoey! She sent regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated while being away. She was attentive, responsive, and clearly cared about making Zoey feel at home. I felt completely comfortable and assured leaving my dog in her care for a few days. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

So kind and helpful! She is quick to answer any questions and sent pictures. Kovi loved being there and it was such a great time! Look forward to being back :)

Eli took excellent care of Rigby. He sent daily updates that made me comfortable leaving him. Rigby got lots of exercise and attention.

My dog spent 6 nights with Hannah and she was the best! This was the second stay in her place and it was so much fun to my dog. A few seconds after he dropped off in her place, I got a photo of his big smile. Also, Hannah sent me a lot of photos during the stay, which made me happy and relieved because I was able to know my dog was really safe and happy with her. I need to comeback not only for me but also for my dog!
