“Excellent experience, as always. Henry has stayed with Matt several times. Matt communicates well and often, is great managing the pack, and my Henry is always happy to go back.”

“Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.”

“This is my second time using Nicole for boarding my golden retriever. Her home is well equipped for dogs and she takes great care of them. Timely communicator and I would recommend!”

“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Sarah was great! She took extra efforts to learn insulin administration to take care of our kitty while we were away. She gave regular updates and sent pictures while Lilah was there. I highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”

“Donetta was so gracious and kind with our older dog! She kept us informed of how he was doing on our quick overnight away. I'd highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”

“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”

“Extremely professional and kind! My boy looked so happy and comfortable in the pictures she sent, I didn’t worry at all while out of town. So quick and easy to pick up/dropoff, would book again!”

“Milo stayed with Amy from 11/28-11/30 and he seemed to have enjoyed himself, playing with the other dogs there. Amy sent pics of Milo daily as well as a video of him playing with another dog. He was "lights out" after having a bath when he got home, probably tired from all the fun he had! He will be returning to stay at Amy's when I travel for work.”


“Hilary and Wally are great. They are super easy to communicate with, and when our plans are not definite they work with us on pick up and drop off times. They have a fenced in back yard, and our dog loves it there. Hilary is also great about sending pictures during his stay.”

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”

“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Evie was amazing. We had a 6 night trip and she was able to help watch our 1 year old Dutch Shepherd. Large backyard which is great for the pup to run around in as well. We will definitely ask again when we go on another trip!”


“Cyndi was nothing short of amazing while taking care of our dog Birdie for a week! We were in constant communication as she sent me messages and pictures of her every morning and night. In all of the pictures, Birdie looked so comfortable and I know that Cyndi took care of our girl like her own!”

Peter Paul dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!

Evie was understanding when we had to cut our trip short, shortening the boarding time needed. She was flexible as I notified her on a daily basis that we would not be starting that day. When we dropped Brady off, we were happy to see that Evie lives in a well kept house in a safe neighborhood. She took really good care of Brady, giving him daily supplements, feeding him twice a day and taking him out for walks and plenty of bathroom breaks. Brady even got along with her friendly dog, named Cupid. She shared photos and a video of them playing. She's among the best boarders we've had on Rover.

Miguel and his wife were perfect hosts for Lucha. I got plenty of pictures, videos, and general updates on how she was doing. She had such a fantastic time with their two dogs and they both clearly understand dog behavior very well and know when to step in if necessary. She seemed very comfortable there and when she got home she immediately fell asleep so clearly she had a lot of fun - will ABSOLUTELY book with them again

Alanya and her pup aurora were awesome. My rotty Sasha boarded with them for a few days while my wife and I were away. We are new to the area and needed a new sitter that we could trust and they did not disappoint. She did an awesome job at caring for Sasha. Constantly updating us with pictures and even a little training to help us out when she returned to us. I definitely recommend Alanya if you need any help with your pup at any point.

I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.

My dog’s stay with Taylor and her husband was great! She sent lots of updates and photos that showed my girl was really comfortable and cared for, and they were really flexible about pickup/drop off needs. I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

Zahra was fantastic in every way! Awesome communication. My anxious pup was so well cared for every day that I was gone, and she was able to accommodate me on short notice after my other sitter ghosted me right before the holidays. I will absolutely hire her again and can't recommend her enough! Your furry friends are in great hands with her -- she truly treats them as her own -- and I am deeply appreciative of the care she gave Lacey. Would give six stars if I could!

Kristin was so amazing and I couldn't recommend her more! She took care of my 10 year old Shiba Inu this weekend, and was so communicative, easy going and kept me updated through the weekend. My pup came home happy and I know that she enjoyed her weekend with Kristin and her sweet Boston Terrier, Finn! I look forward to leaving Gigi with Kristin again in the future, knowing that my beloved dog is well taken care of.
