“It was a pleasure meeting Kristopher and his family, and we were very comfortable leaving our pup in their care. I have no doubt he had a wonderful time. In fact, I think he’s a bit blue today missing his fellow fur pals.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with our dogs! She sent me pictures and gave me updates daily. She even scheduled a vet visit and took our dog to the vet while we were out of town. She is so kind and great with our dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ru watched our dog—Bailey—for us while we went on a trip abroad for a week and a half and she was amazing! She updated us and sent pictures of Bailey to us regularly, which made us never worry about if Bailey was doing okay. Ru was also very flexible in extending Bailey’s stay with her by a few hours when our flight back home was unexpectedly canceled. Overall, I highly recommend Ru to watch your companion animals—she’s wonderful!”
“Tim was so good with Duckie! he kept us updated with pictures and letting us know what Duckie was up to! Tim took him on plenty of walks which our puppy loved. Duckie also had a great time with his new friend Gabby! I would definitely recommend Tim, he was great!”
“Chad and his kids (and Lucy, his doodle) took great care of our Poppy! He was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Poppy seemed very comfortable there and we will send her there again!”
“Lauren was quick to message, sensitive to my concerns and questions, compassionate to my boys, and showed them so much love. Her dogs temperament did not give me any concern to be around my dogs and her house and yard is dog friendly.”
“Good communicator, took great care of our Bo Bear. Her dogs are very friendly too!! Fenced backyard is so nice and she has lots of gates inside to accommodate door dashers (like mine). Would book again. A++. Thanks so much Linda!!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“Tatyana was great! Hank came home very happy and well exercised. And he loved playing with Biscuit. Tatayana responds very promptly and she sends lots of great pictures and updates throughout the stay. She takes what she does very seriously and is sure to ask you all the questions about your pet so she can take the best possible care. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie is so patient and kind! It sounded like my dog was a little more rowdy than usual (suspecting due to new medication she was placed on) and Leslie appropriately reached out to check if I had tips or tricks to make her feel more comfortable. She reassured me many times to not worry, which was nice to hear she had the situation under control! Would definitely trust Leslie again to watch my dog!”
“Extremely happy. Buddy liked Samantha right away. Drop off and pick up were super easy. She sent me pics of my little guy so I could see that he was adjusting well. Definitely will book with her again.”
“Pam has been the best dog sitter I have ever had my pup stay with. My little guy gets to spend his day romping and playing with Pam’s dogs and he always looks like he is having the best time in all of the update pictures and videos Pam sends. I am able to comfortably travel without having to worry about the safety or happiness of my fur baby when he stays with Pam! I will absolutely be bringing him back anytime I have to travel!”
“A family member had to cancel plans to watch our dog a couple days before we went on vacation. Jenn was very responsive and was able to have us over the evening before for a meet and greet. It was immediately obvious that Jenn loves dogs and that Arby would be in good hands. We received photos each day and were able to enjoy a worry-free weekend . Thanks again!”
“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”
“Suzanne and her children were absolutely amazing with my husky! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, took my dog for walks, and had a huge backyard for her to run around in! Her children were very gentle with my dog which I appreciated! I’ve already booked more stays with her! My dog loves her and can’t wait to go back! Thanks, Suzanne!”
“Leaving my two puppies with Abby was easy because she is so awesome! Everyday she sent photos of the girls playing, wrestling, sleeping, and out walking with her on their leashes. She also texted reports on their well-being and behavior. Abby has a fenced in backyard which is perfect for active pooches. I highly recommend Abby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Molly was extremely helpful with it being our first time using the app. She was friendly and trustworthy with every communication, while also being very flexible with our schedule and needs.”

Ottawa Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michael and his family were amazing, communicative and engaging with our 2 mini Aussies. It seemed like they really enjoyed their time there! I really appreciate Michael’s attention to detail and kindness. We are totally using them again when we travel out of town! A+++
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
Molly was amazing! Our dog clearly had a great time staying with her, as we got pictures and updates of him snuggled up and out and about. Molly was also very easy to get a hold of the whole time and super understanding about our greatly delayed flight. Hopefully our pup will be visiting her again!
Katy was absolutely great to work with and did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Chester. It was clear that he really felt comfortable there, was well taken care of, and enjoyed being with Katy. I really liked getting a brief daily update, with a picture, and also appreciated her communication about how he was doing. Would highly recommend!
