“Diana helped us out with a last minute reservation for our Freddie Freckles. We are grateful to her and appreciate her flexibility and patience with me as I used Rover for the first time. Our little guy happy to be home but not stressed out like he is when boarding at a kennel. The photos and videos were awesome!!! Thank you, Diana!!”
“Lorraine was a great sitter for my dog. Her communication was great and she kept us updated with photos and videos for the entire stay. I recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter and I will be glad to use her again. My dog warmed up quickly there and he is usually very shy around people he is not familiar with.”
“Elisa did an amazing job watching my Beagle. She sent videos of their time together which was very thoughtful. Thanks so much for taking great care of her. Will definitely book again when needed.”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”

“Ashley made my dog feel very much at home during his 2-week stay. She sent me photos and updates. Her own pets are very easygoing so my dog fit right in. I would recommend her highly!”
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“Cyndi was very welcoming, clean & the sweetest! Left my pup with her for almost two weeks while out of the country and had not one worry! Updated me regularly with pictures and how he was doing! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“Amazing. Grace kept me updated and took care of Sasha the way that I would. She made sure her meds were given, walked her and followed my instructions. Sasha left happy. I would recommend her any day”
“I had to leave town due to a emergency and Brenda took my dog and made her feel right at home during her stay. Not only did she update me consistently but she also took photos to show me how happy she was! She actually spent time with my dog, getting to know every little detail so she could learn her effectively. She gave my dog (ginger) the love and respect she needed. I would go back to Brenda 10/10 times, you won't find a more caring attentive person!”
“Laura is terrific and I highly recommend her! She treats my dogs like they are one of her own. She sends pics, videos and updates to let you know how your dogs are doing and what they are up to, so you are reassured that your pups are doing well and having fun! It is nice to be away and know your fur babies are in great hands. :)”

Andi and her family are exactly who I want taking in my Josie! They have the perfect house and fenced in backyard for dogs to be comfortable. Andi communicated with me every day with pictures and reassuring comments. Thank you Andi! I hope you’re available next time we go out of town!
Jada is AWESOME, like I have been with rover.com for over 5 years now and had many sitters for my fur baby and they were great. But Jada, was outstanding not 10 minutes of my pup being in her care a started receiving pictures and videos and throughout the entire stay. Her son and her are very welcoming and she has a great dog too. Jada, was a last minute booking and she exceeded my expectations of a fur baby sitter. She’s very friendly, respectful, understanding and has a loving personality great energy and very social almost like I met a friend. Jada comes highly recommended. I will definitely use her again only sitter for my pup.
