“Carly was amazing with our pup, Sunny! She was attentive, kind, supportive and flexible to fit her needs, and she sent us lots of updates which we loved. I would highly recommend Carly!!”

“Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!”

“Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).”

“Our experience with Jasmine was nothing but positive! Our boy Benji fell in love with her family especially her little girl. He was well taken care of for the 2 weeks we were away. She updated us with photos and messages throughout our trip. We would definitely book with her again. ??”

“Kassi is the BEST! She goes above and beyond providing care and Tate loved spending time at her home! He was there a few days and was a happy 🐶. Kassi is great with providing updates and pictures- she is so thoughtful and sweet! Highly recommend!!”

“What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much from all three of us. It’s such a relief to know that our girl was taken so great care of. It means so much”

“Angela was wonderful with our dog. He absolutely enjoyed his time with her family with unlimited love and affection! Her fenced backyard was his happy place for playtime, sniffing and bird watching. Overall a perfect stay and he will definitely be back for another vacation!”

“My dog was healthy and happy after I returned home. I so appreciated Karl's daily reports and photos. Pick-up and drop-off were simple and speedy. I highly recommend Karl's services.”


“Erika and her daughter took the greatest of care with my very large dog! They were flexible with pick up and drop off, so very kind and loving in their care and sent pictures and updates daily to this mom that was sad to leave her boy for a a long period. Thank you Erika and Emily!”
“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”

“Justin and his son were absolutely fantastic with Doug. They provided excellent care, sending regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. Doug loved his time with their pups Dexter and Dori. I highly recommend Justin and his son to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

“Our chocolate lab had a wonderful time with Emily! They sent pictures often and she always looked loved and that she was having a great time. She gave us great peace of mind and would definitely not hesitate to use her again!!”

“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”

“John and Shannon were wonderful with our dog Oslo. You can tell this family really loves dogs. We got sweet updates throughout our trip. Oslo was happy to see us at the end but we think he would have been happy to stay with his new family - ha! I was particularly struck by their flexibility and resourcefulness when our flight was canceled coming home from our trip. They were gracious, flexible and communicative.”

“Cindy was very prompt and professional when I had my dog boarding. She took care of my dog very well and sending updates every so often. Very professional and prompt and definitely recommend. Thanks for such a great care for Cappi!”

“Fernanda and Bruno (and their little girl) were wonderful hosts for my 2 puppies. One is 3 months and the other is 9 months and I was worried leaving them so soon. Fernanda made me comfortable by sending photos and continually checking in. They were also put on some medications last week (awful timing to leave them) and she administered their medication and eased my nerves about the situation. This is my first time using rover and I’m so so grateful they were amazing to my pups!🐶”

“We have used Hayley many times now… And each time our dog comes away happy and healthy. Hayley provides multiple updates with pictures and info about what she’s doing while we are away which really helps. Highly recommend her!”

“Andrew and his family were very welcoming to Dolly, and they sent an update during our trip so we knew she was adjusting. At pick up it was easy to tell that she had become one of the gang. We would recommend Andrew to care for your pet!”

Northwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog Lilo just spent a week at her new favorite vacation destination! She had the very best time making new friends and relaxing. Communication was great while we were gone, we received updates and photos on a daily base. Dianna & Mackenzie are very accommodating and we‘ll be back for future boarding.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I felt confident leaving my dog in Angela’s care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I received regular updates and photos while I was away. I’ll absolutely be booking with Angela again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter! :)

Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

Angela was great with our dog Zoey! We came into town for a wedding so she let us introduce her to Zoey, and us, the day before. We really appreciated the opportunity to meet her ahead of time. Zoey enjoyed her time there. They had good walks and Angela sent me updates and pics. We would definitely have Zoey stay with her again!

Yasmin is an outstanding dog sitter! She took the time to get to know my dog’s routine and personality. During the stay, I received daily updates, with multiple photos, videos and messages, which meant so much and reassured me that my dog was in great hands. She gave my dog plenty of attention and love. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I would highly recommend Yasmin. She is someone you can trust completely with your dog. She is truly an exceptional dog sitter!

Houix If this rover is amazing, I mean from the start to the fitness very communicative and also she even has the option to even pick your dog up if you’re not able to have transportation. She loves dogs and she was sending you videos and pictures throughout the day, of her interacting and playing with your dog. Along with her other dog she has herself. my flight even got delayed, so I had to extend my reservation one more day, and she had no problem with allowing lyrics to stay an extra day. I highly recommend having her watch or board your dog whenever you need somebody to help with watching your dog.
