“Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!”

“As always Sally was great! Lots of pictures - smiling dogs in them!! I just feel so at ease when I’m out of town knowing my fur babies are so well taken care of. We are repeat guests & will be booking more in the future!!”

“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”

“Rayann was absolutely amazing with my girls, who admittedly are a handful. She and her family made them feel as loved and cared for as we do, and was happy to keep us updated on how they did during their stay.”

“Communicated well and fully embraced Harlem . We will definitely rebook again . This is the perfect space for Harlem and he was given the ability to explore and connect with others .”

“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”


“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”

“Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!”

“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”


“Hillary is awesome. My dog had an amazing stay with her. It's totally obvious she genuinly cares for dogs, their health and their happiness. My dog is a bit of a princess and she did super well there. It was my first use of Rover too and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely book with Hillary again!”

“Emily watched Ernie for a long weekend. This was Ernie’s first stay overnight that he wasn’t with family. Ernie had the best time and was well attended to by Emily. I received lots of pictures and prompt responses to my messages. Thank you, Emily!”

“Shanelle and Ryan are phenomenal. You will not find more caring, compassionate, and communicative sitters! I do not worry about my dog for one second when she is with them. Five stars!”

“Karl was such a great friend for Cosmo while I was out of town!! I got awesome pics of my pup each day and could tell he was having a BLAST!! Will definitely use again and recommend!!”

“We had a very good experience boarding our 70 lb dog will vanessa. She kempt us informed about how he was doing and sent us regular updates. Her dog and cat were very friendly. I would highly recommend her.”

“We have booked with Hallie multiple times now and she is so great with boarding our dog. She understood his personality very early on and is great at communicating with us. We never worry when Foss is with her.”

“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”

“Cindy was great with my pup Sage! She consistently sent me updates to let me know how Sage was doing, as well as lots of pics. I felt at ease while away knowing that Sage was in good hands. I will definitely use Cindy in the future and highly recommend her for boarding services!”

“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.🤣🤣”

“Abigail was absolutely fantastic! Throughout my time away, they provided wonderful and engaging updates about my doggo, which I truly appreciated. Seeing how happy and comfortable my pup was in their care was such a relief. Abigail went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt secure and familiar with them, demonstrating exceptional dedication. If it were possible, I'd give them far more than five stars!”

“Brynn took such great care of my senior dog and was very responsive and proactive throughout his stay with her. I would highly recommend her and will book again with Brynn in the future!”
North Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Karl was wonderful! He took great care of our senior boy. From the meet and greet through the booking his communication was wonderful. Loved the daily photos and updates too. We also appreciate Karl’s flexibility when our pick up time had to change due to weather travel issues. Thank you Karl! Would highly recommend.

Chris and Becky have a lovely home and show genuine care and kindness for people and their beloved pets. I was provided updates and pics during Mae’s first sleepover. My girl is a shy pup and at pick on could tell she felt comfortable and safe. Very grateful for this experience.

Zahria was an amazing dog sitter and took such great care of Caine while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly made sure he felt comfortable and loved the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Caine was happy and well cared for when I got back, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Zahria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

I was nervous leaving my pet with a rover family for boarding for the first time but Colin and Sarah were a perfect fit and super loving to my Maggie. She had such a great time and they took her on plenty of walks and best if all she got along so well with their dog Millie! 10/10 recommend to anyone.
