“Kim was such a wonderful host to Pepper. We love all the pictures and her attention and care for ppper was greatly appreciated. Pepper has a great time and we were so happy with her. We definitely will use her service again.”


“SO WONDERFUL. Connie kept our Yorkie for the first time. She sent me lots of pictures and videos. I felt that she really tried to get to know Scouty and understand her behavior. Connie shows a real love for her guests and it was clear to me from Scout's behavior that she really bonded with Connie. Connie did an excellent job in my opinion and I will be very comfortable leaving Scouty with her again. I'm grateful to have found her!”


“I was very happy with all aspects of my experience with Jennifer. Her communication, her energy, her attitude towards my dog, her willingness to understand and meet his needs, and the pictures she shared of him during the stay. My dog went easily with her (his first time with her) so I know he felt comfortable with her right away.”


“Kim was absolutely great! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone besides family and Kim answered all my questions to make sure the pup and I were comfortable. She sent photos everyday and it’s no secret the pup was happy to be there!”


“I was very anxious about leaving my large elderly bulldog with someone new. Chisato kindly allowed us a meet and greet prior to our reservation to alleviate my concerns and allow my dog a chance to visit her home. During my dog's stay, I received very regular text updates with lots of pictures, video, and descriptions of her day. She took my lazy pup out for many slow walks, and did a wonderful job managing her medications and dietary needs, including a medicated bath. I am extremely happy with the care our dog received, and will absolutely recommend her to our friends and family.”



“Elvis was in great hands with Stella. He got along great with her dogs. I was never worried about him while on vacation. He had a brown 3 legged squeaky toy that was lost at the house. He must have had fun playing with it with the other dogs. No problem, he can get it back next time Elvis stays. I would highly suggest others to consider Stella. Great family and dog lovers. Thanks so much…”


“Sunshine and her loving family were3 the most amazing host for our young energetic dog, Zuka. She is a big dog and a lot to handle at age 1+. Sunshine is a pro and Zuka loved her time with her. We picked her up a week after dropping her off and she was happy, healthy and maybe it is my imagination... but she also seemed better on her lead! WOW! Above and beyond Sunshine!! Thank You! Thank You! We will always use you for overnights when we travel. D&C”


“Kelli is a devoted dog lover who took excellent care of my 11 year old frenchy for a couple of nights. Some medication was required and Stevie sleeps in bed with me. Her medication was no issue for Kelli and she allowed Stevie to sleep with her which was so appreciated. Kelli works from home which is a real benefit when caring for Stevie. We greatly appreciate Kelli and her efforts on behalf of Stevie. We are already booked for our next trip with Kelli 🐾🐾”


“Tabitha and her family did great job with our family member. Meeting her for 1st time and leaving her there for over week. It was good to hear her kids saying does she have to go when I pick her up. To me that sound like they took care of her like their own pet. We definitely be using her and family again on our next trips”


“This is the fourth of fifth time we used Patricia to watch over our dog. We've never had any concerns or worries once we've dropped him off. Patricia is wonderful to work with and loves our furry companion. Thanks as always!”


“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Na Rae & Barry! This was my first time ever leaving Sadie with someone else, and I was so nervous, but they made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. From the very start, they were kind, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable trusting them with my little girl. Sadie actually went into heat during her stay, and they didn’t bat an eye. They got her little diapers and gave her the extra care and attention she needed without making it feel like any trouble at all. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me as a pet parent. They also sent me regular updates and adorable photos throughout the week, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked Sadie up, she was her same happy, energetic self—and I could tell she had been loved and treated like part of their family. Na Rae & Barry along with their kids, truly went above and beyond for Sadie. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my sweet girl!”



“Angela was great with our puppy, Boots! Our puppy is a 15 lb. Chihuahua mix. Naturally, I had some apprehension about her hanging out with Angela’s bigger and older dogs but it worked out perfectly and Boots had a fun weekend with her new friends. Angela was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. I’d recommend Angela for all your pet boarding needs!”



“We are so happy we found Dee! Our regular sitter was not available. Dee accommodated us by a meet and greet first, which was very successful. We arranged for our dog to stay with Dee for two nights. She clearly loves dogs, and also knows how to work well with them. We were very pleased with the boarding experience, and we look forward to having our dog in Dee’s care again in the future. Highly recommended.”


“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”


“First time using Rover and we had a great experience with Debbie and Tom from the "meet and greet" to the overnight stay. Archie settled in nicely and I could tell he was comfortable there from the pictures and updates they sent. I am grateful for the opportunity to let him stay in a comfy home with people who love dogs!”


“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”


“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”


“Mary and Norman watched our fur baby while on a week’s vacation and they exceeded our expectations! Not only were they very accommodating with our schedule, they also sent daily updates and made our dog feel right at home - they treated her like their own! Mary and Norman will be the first we call whenever we need a pet sitter.”

Old Mill Creek dog parents share their Rover experiences
I left my little Boston Terrier / Beagle mix dog with Gwen during a week-long vacation. She has two large dogs at home, and my elderly and cranky Lucy has a history of being randomly reactive with other dogs. But during our meet and greet, it was clear that Gwen and Jake have an excellent handle on how to manage dog behavior and introducing dogs to one another. After the visit, I felt confident in leaving Lucy at their home for a week. During my vacation, I received many pictures, videos and updates. She described how they were gradually introducing the dogs to one another, always under supervised conditions. I was able to see how the dogs were interacting with videos and pictures, and it was clear that Lucy became fast friends with Earl and Saber. I think that this is due to the careful and attentive process that Gwen and Jake followed in order to make Lucy comfortable in their home and with their dogs. In addition, Gwen kept me informed about her eating habits and antics. I would definitely leave Lucy in her care again!
