“Phoebe came home was happy and very content. Linda and Michael were very friendly and pleasant to work with. Sent photos and kept in contact. Will love to use them again.”
“I would give Cassie & Ben more stars if allowed! I was so happy with how these folks took in my big 70 lb baby and cared for her like she was their own. Big yard. Great communication. Cassie sent pictures and videos daily and my girl came home tuckered out from all the play time with their resident dog and great kids. Fantastic experience!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Griffin made the experience (from pre-booking to pick up) an absolute breeze - he made us feel so comfortable, put our mind's at ease, and had great communication. He proactively sent frequent video, photo, and text updates of our puppy and was very responsive when we checked in! I love that he has a dog of his own and they both became fast friends. We will 100% rebook with Griffin and will recommend him to anyone needing services!”
“Shelley was fantastic. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and my pug was able to play with her dogs. She was also very flexible when I needed to extend the stay last minute. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Billie communicated with me with messages and pictures over the course of time that she was caring for our dog. I would recommend her. Thank you Billie! Debbie Kerr”

“Lauren was great with everything from special accommodations for our fur babies to meeting our needs as the pet owners. She kept us updated hourly/daily on how our puppies were doing and also sent pictures showing how much fun they were having. We highly recommend Lauren to anybody that is looking for a babysitter for their fur babies. While attending a graduation in Kansas seeing that our hotel is not pet friendly , we found her on Rover and that was the best decision we ever made. Thanks again so much Lauren and we appreciate you !”
“Jay took great care of our dog. He sent us an update with a picture to let us know how she was doing. She got lots of snuggles during her stay and came home happy. We would definitely consider using Jay as a sitter again.”
“Bart worked his magic on my doggos. It's not often they come back from a boarder happy and not looking skinnier than when you left them. Granted, typical boarders are not in a home but...?♀️ My doggos came back home from Bart after a week looking fed and happy go lucky as ever. Thanks so much!!”
“Becky is absolutely wonderful. We always know he is in good hands with her. She sends photos and videos every day to show us how happy he is to be hanging out with her.”
