“Again, feeling so lucky today that we found this sweet couple to care for our dog. After two separate day stays and an overnight stay, we’re convinced that they are dog whisperers and dogs immediately feel their love. Thanking them for easing the worry that comes with leaving your dog in someone else’s care. We feel extremely comfortable leaving our dog with them.”

“Chantal went above and beyond taking care of my very nervous and anxious, sweet dog. Built her a little safe space to keep her calm. Sent pics and videos so I could see how well she was doing. I couldn’t give Chantal a higher recommendation. She’s the best!”

“Our dog Maxy loves staying with Deanna! She has a blast and Deanna sends frequent updates to let us know how she’s doing. Will definitely ask Deanna to watch Maxy again!”


“This is the second time Britanny took care of Fox, and he had a wonderful time again with her and her corgi!! Thanks Britanny for taking such good care of him.”
“Molly did wonderful! So happy for her to be available for a last minute cancellation from someone else for a week long trip - the day before! She was accommodating for drop off and pickup. Sent plenty of pictures and updates. Overall wonderful experience. Thank you again!”

“Another great visit with Martine and Ron! Our dogs LOVE going over there. One of them is a very senior dog, who needs lots of care. That didn't deter Martine and Ron from watching him. He and our other dog were very well taken care of, and we received pictures and updates each day.”

“Vanessa has cared for our dog, Amos multiple times. She is thoughtful and dedicated to making sure he gets the care he needs. She keeps us updated on the day's activities and is diligent with any instructions we leave. We trust her explicitly.”

“Donna treated my doggos as if they were her own. I was updated and sent pictures/videos daily and was never left wondering how they are doing. I felt at peace while on vacation. I will 100% book with Donna again! 10/10 service.”

“Sloane was incredible!! She spent lots of time playing and walking our pup!! She went above and beyond with toys and a crate ready for him at her house!! She sent a lot of updates and exceeded our expectations in a dog sitter! Highly recommend!!”

“Jessica and Shayne gave Augie the freedom to run and play in their backyard ! From all accounts, it was obvious that Augie was very much at home there. He was exhausted when he came home- but such a happy, satisfied pup! Shayne also took some amazing photos of our boy. 😊We are so thankful to these incredible hosts!”


“Absolutely fantastic! First person we ever boarded Miss Tinkerbell with - and she is amazing!! We got photos all the time and constant communication! We will definitely board with her again and our dog loves her and her kiddos! Recommend 100%”

“Arden took care of our pittie Biggie and she did an excellent job. Biggie can be high energy but Arden got him plenty of exercise in the yard, he came back exhausted in the best way. Biggie also takes some medication and Arden handled that with ease. She shared fun pictures and updates during Biggie’s stay. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”

“Carlita was a great sitter for my dog, she provided detailed updates via video and photos while my dog was in her care for 12+ days. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in capable and caring hands. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Austin and Morgan were absolutely wonderful! Our girl Betty had such a great weekend stay. We are so lucky to have found such amazing people to watch her while we were out of town. We got regular updates and pictures and they made the whole process from meet and greet to pick up day so easy!! You can definitely trust Austin and Morgan with your sweet pups!”

North Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristin did an amazing job caring for our puppy, Sprout! She kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Sprout seemed very comfortable and happy with her, and it was clear he was well cared for. We truly appreciate the attention, communication, and care she provided. We can’t thank Kristin enough for such a wonderful experience and would happily book with her again!

Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!

10/10 recommend Chase as a dog sitter! Chase provided daily updates on Sadie throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. He also arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand so Sadie could get comfortable in the new environment prior to the stay. He followed all instructions carefully and communicated any updates, additions, or modifications that came up during her stay. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent service. I highly recommend Chase and will definitely be using him again!

I've left my 3 mth old puppy with Karisa twice and will definitely book her again in the future. During our most recent stay, I ran into an unexpected scheduling conflict, and Karisa was incredibly gracious and accommodating. Her flexibility provided so much peace of mind, and I truly appreciate her level of care.

Arden spent a week with our dog and did a phenomenal job making him feel at home, with plenty of walks, cuddles, and stalking squirrels. We have a high energy Brittany who really enjoyed going in and out of her backyard through the doggy door. Arden was very communicative and gave us peace of mind! 100% will book again.
