“Dennis and Lynn watched our 8-month old golden retriever for just over two weeks and absolutely loved every part of their accommodations!! They even sent us daily updates and videos, took her for daily walks, played in the yard with her, and were very accommodating to us first-time “parents”; much more personal than a typical boarding situation. We will definitely be reaching out to Dennis and Lynn again if we need an overnight sitter. Thanks again!”


“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”



“Conrad loves staying with Marisol and Twinkie! We are a repeat boarder. Conrad has separation anxiety from my (consequence of working from home) but he goes right in to Marisol’s lovely home and is welcomed by Twinkie. Conrad spends his days napping, going for walks, napping, playing, and napping! Senior dog life!😉”


“Sandy and Skip were fantastic sitters for my dog Mila! They welcomed her into their home for 10 days while my fiancé and I were on vacation in Hawaii. They kept me updated with nightly photos of her and I could tell she was having a blast with their sweet dog, Kree Bear, and getting lots of love! They have a big back yard and are right next to a trail system which is perfect for getting dogs the exercise they need. I highly recommend Them for your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much Skip and Sandy for taking care of my fur baby!”


“We were new to using this app and a little nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our sitter was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly made our dog feel at home. They send updates and videos which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were gracious enough to take him bec it was very last minute on a holiday weekend. It was obvious that our pup was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”


“Nancy and her family did an exceptional job looking after our two Samoyeds. Kimi & Gigi really enjoyed their access to the fenced back yard and all the love from Nancy and her family. We highly recommend Nancy as she really looks after your pet just like her own. We will definitely be using Nancy again!”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our anxious Frenchie. We got daily updates and she even offered to cook him some brown rice and chicken when he was too anxious to eat his kibble. She was prompt in her communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. We will absolutely be booking with her again, she was wonderful!”


“Stella and Zane are awesome. Again we had to leave our fur baby Diva for a few days, and was totally comfortable and assured that she was going to be well taken care of. We were so happy to receive pictures and updates. My baby was spoiled again. If you get the chance to get Stella to watch your baby/babies you won’t be disappointed or be a nervous wreck wondering if they are in good hands. 💗💗💗💗💗”


“Tobi has been our dog sitter for over a year now. We trust her and her family 100% with our Buddy dog! He loves his time in her home and she takes great care of him. Tobi always communicates with us in a timely manner and sends us photos of Buddy while he’s in her care. We highly recommend Tobi!”


“This was my first time using Rover and after reading many sitter profile reviews I decided on Maggie. After our meet and greet I was very pleased. I have a Maltese so I wanted a household that catered to small doggies, had a fenced yard, and wouldn’t be crated. All of my needs were obviously met. I got to witness Maggie in action as she was sitting a couple of adorable dogs during our meet and greet. During a potty break in the fenced back yard my dog Lola followed and immediately pottied just like all her new friends. (That was such a relief to me as she only likes to “go” on her own grass!). Then we talked about sleeping and feeding and I was so happy about Maggie’s attitude. She truly wants your dog to be happy, so she lets you bring whatever you feed them at home (I’m one of those that cooks my own food for my dog!) so I just packed up baggies for each day that she kept in her fridge. I left my dog for 7 days with Maggie. I got pictures and/or videos with a nice message on how she was doing everyday. It was really reassuring to hear from her. When we got back from our trip, she was so excited to see us but was definitely comfortable with Maggie. Lola doesn’t easily warm to new people, but Maggie had definitely won her over. Next time I plan on going out of town I would not hesitate to book with Maggie.”


“Mabel got along with her dog really well! I picked her up and she was tired from playing, no behavioral issues. Alyssa was a pleasure to work with & took great care of my baby.”


“Heather is wonderful! She kept our boys, Max and Stanley for four days. Gave daily photos and updates and was always available for questions prior to their stay. The boys were happy and well cared for and we definitely will book with Heather again for our future trips! Thanks so much!!”


“Eileen took great care of my dog, Sophie! Kept me updated daily on how she was doing. Very friendly and easy to work with, as well as very flexible to my schedule! Will definitely be taking Sophie back! ?”


“Brent did a great job watching our puppy Marco! We appreciated the picture and text updates throughout his stay. Thanks for bringing our Marco into your pack!”


“Mary sent me picture updates, my dog had multiple walks, Mary’s family treated my dog as her own, and best of all my dog slept all day after I picked him up! Thanks Mary!”


“Matthew was a wonderful host for taking care of Coco for several days. He would update me with pictures. I would definitely have him take care of Coco again when I need to. Thank you!!”


“Mariana and her family were so kind and accomodating for Sienna for my 3-day weekend. They took her for walks, fed her on her normal routine and always made sure she had her eye drops! I had to pick her up a bit later on a Sunday and they were just fine with that. I will be calling Mariana again when I'm out of town as I know Sienna will be so well taken care of!”


“Jen took very good care of our beloved Aussie while we were out of town for 5 days. She always kept me up to date with adorable photos and regular updates, which was very reassuring. Our dog loved having the backyard to roam & regular walks. I highly recommend Jen!”
