“The dogs love Steve. When we pull up in his driveway, they can’t wait to run to the door. And, promptly jump onto the couch in his living room. Thanks, we appreciate how kind you are to the dogs.”
“I was extremely nervous leaving Willow for the first time EVER, but Bailey was so amazing with my girl and SUPER flexible. She made sure to maintain Willow’s routine and updated us frequently! Plenty of pictures and videos of her playing eased my mind and helped me enjoy my time away a little easier. THANK YOU BAILEY! 🫶🏻”
“We were so happy with the love and care Cheryl provided to our fur babies while we were out of the country for 10 days. She put our minds at ease knowing that are pups were in good hands. She kept us informed and updated to let us know our fur babies were happy and healthy! We will definitely use her again.”
“Natalia was very responsive and communicative. She shared pictures of our pup with us, and he always seemed to be having fun. When we picked him up, he was happy and exhausted, which is a huge bonus, as our puppy normally has an overwhelming amount of energy. We'll definitely be reaching out to Natalia again!”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“Very efficient in keeping me posted on my pup. He did better for her than me lol. Gizmo found his new best friends!! Never used a sitter before but so glad it was a great first experience.”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of our special needs dog. Her dogs were super friendly and very welcoming of him even though he was much larger than them, and they all seemed to become great friends. We will be utilizing her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. It was great to be able to do a meet-and-greet with Luke, who put us at ease, and felt comfortable with leaving Ryu with him for 6 days. The experience went well and Luke was easy to communicate with while we were out of town. Would not hesitate to use Rover, and specifically Luke again, in the future.”
“We have trusted our doggie with Amelia and Matthew a few times now and we are so grateful for them! They take excellent care of him and keep us updated on how things are going. If you’re looking for sitters you can really trust, they’re the best!!”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“Brittany was very friendly and allowed a 'meet and greet' before we formally agreed to boarding our dogs with her. We felt like she and her family understood golden retriever personality and activity level. She was great about sending pictures and updates. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that they were in good hands and having fun playing! Will definitely book again!”
“I boarded both my Boys with Matthew during the Thanksgiving break. He was extremely flexible with the pickup and drop off times and communicated very well. He took excellent care of both my boys and provided me with regular updates and photos. I would definitely board my boys with Matthew again and would highly recommend him to anyone need to board their dogs.”

Miles means so much to me and I appreciated her photos and updates, and I could also tell they gave him so much love that I felt a lot less guilty leaving him!!!
