“Mary was wonderful taking care of our Stella for 2 whole weeks while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with messages and photos and was quick to respond to our messages while we were out of the country. Thanks so much Mary! ??”

“Jennifer was amazing. I received daily updates including photos and videos. I came home to two healthy and happy pups and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I think they were sorry to leave. I will definitely rebook if she’ll have us!”

“My dog Taddy needed a sitter short notice for 2 weeks, when our previously scheduled sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency. Julia was fortunately available and very attentive to Taddy's issues (with him being an anxious rescue dog, with arthritis, reactivity towards other dogs, etc.). She also didn't take on another client during the 2 weeks because of Taddy's issues with other dogs. We got a picture and an update every 2-3 days while we were away. Taddy looked very comfortable and at home in the pictures. Our flight back was delayed, and we picked up Taddy close to midnight, much later than planned. Julia was v cooperative and flexible with our delay which we really appreciated.”

“I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. Adolfo is a "dog whisperer" according to my husband. Our three dogs love hanging out at Adolfo's. We have used his dog sitting services frequently and highly recommend him.”

“Samantha, Zach & their kids were great! This was my puppies first time boarding & they were awesome. I was updated daily and any questions or worries I had were answered. After a long 5 day stay my flight was cancelled so I had to extend my Layla’s stay & Samantha gave me no issues with accommodating. We will definitely be using this family for any other boarding/sitter needs. Extra points to her little ones for giving my girl all the love & cuddles during her stay!”


“Our little bichon baby had an amazing time and looled really happy with Judith. She made him feel at home. We were also relaxed as she made sure to send pictures and letters every now and then. Our baby enjoyed all the home made treats that she offered him. We are glad that Frudo was in good hands with Judith when we were away. Will definitely go back to her when needed.”

“Sarah is the best! She took such great care of my pup while I was on vacation and was super understanding and accommodating when flights delays got me home a day late. Thank you Sarah!”

“Ben took such great care of our gal! He made me feel so comfortable as this was the first I was using the Rover service. He’s was super communicative which i really appreciated. Will definitely use Ben again!”

“Kelsey was fantastic and very clearly cares for our pups which was just what we needed for peace of mind while we were away for an extended vacation. Can't thank you enough Kelsey for putting up with all the additional dog hair and taking our boys in as your own. We will most certainly use Kelsey again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.. infact we already have!”

“I have used Christine and David 3 or 4 times now and couldn’t be happier. My big boy has stranger danger and he loves going to hang out with them and their sweet dog Dory. They send tons of pictures to keep you informed. Message me with any questions or concerns. Couldn’t be happier with them caring for my big sweet boy. Thank you for everything!”

“Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.”

“Jen was great with our dog, Kermit! She was communicative and sent pictures everyday we were gone. Jen was very accommodating to our dog's schedule and made sure that she was comfortable in her house and with her cats. We'd definitely book with Jen in the future!”

“Misty was the first person I left my pup with outside of my family and I was so nervous! Misty was so kind and sent me updates and pictures, which was a huge relief. Penelope will definitely be back!”

“Our puppy, Snowie, stayed with Sonja for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier! She sent regular photo updates, made sure Snowie got plenty of playtime, and even kept up with his feeding schedule. The place was clean and safe, and Snowie came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring and professional boarder. We’ll definitely book again!”

“Damica did a great job taking care of our Aussies. One of them needed some medicine twice a day while we were gone, and Damica was careful to stay on top of that too. I felt very comfortable with my pups in her care.”

“Stephanie was amazing! She sent regular pictures, set Winston home with an adorable goodie bag, and I could really tell that my pup was well taken care of! Will be rebooking for sure! 5/5”

“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”

Patch dog parents share their Rover experiences
It’s a first time for us to book a long stay and Jenna really went out of way to quiet our nerves. With daily updates with pics or videos, we can see our dog relax throughout the stay. It made it easier for us to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog is having a wonderful time playing with new friends or chilling on the sofa. Highly recommend!

Robyn took great care of our dog Grey! They took him on bike rides, got pup cups (all with permission), sent pictures and videos while watching him. Very responsive with all communication. We have booked with her multiple times now and have had a great experience each time!
Jessica has been the absolute best thing to happen to our family since relocating to St. Louis. We toured every boarding facility in the area, and I left each one feeling heartbroken. The tiny cages, constant noise, and extremely high prices were overwhelming, and there was no way I could leave our dogs there. Jessica cared for our two Australian Shepherds for nearly two weeks, and it was such a relief knowing they were safe, loved, and treated like family in her home. They also adored playing with her sweet puppy, Cooper, and all got along wonderfully. We are so grateful to have found her and could not recommend her more highly!

Ruthie went above and beyond to alleviate my fears and make sure my little old man was well cared for on my trip away. Even with all his meds and special feeding instructions, she had no issues and my lil man seemed super content with her fur babies and hubby. I would gladly use her again. I know he is in the best of hands.
