“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter than Kimberly. She took incredible care of our dog, Dolce, while we were away for two weeks—and it gave us so much peace of mind to know she was in such good hands. Kimberly sent daily photo updates, and it was clear from her happy face that she was having the best time. Dolce was treated like part of the family and came home calm, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“This is the second time we have left our dog with Kathleen! Our dog was very happy to see her, what proves that she loved her previous stay. We will definitely choose Kathleen again!”
“Enas was wonderful caring for my dog. From the very beginning she provided thorough communication. I had to book last minute, had a lot going on, she was patient the entire time. She provided daily pictures of my dog. Even when it was time for pickup my dog didn’t want to leave her daughter. 😊 That made my heart smile cause it was proof my dog was loved and cared for genuinely in my absence. Thank you Enas and your family for loving and caring for my Bella 🐾. You are the best and I will certainly be booking with you for any future dog boarding needs.”
“We love leaving Ash at Renae’s when we’re going to be away. Ash loves playing with their dog Bailey, snuggling and sleeping in improbable locations, and always comes home happy and tired.”
“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“I cannot say enough about the great care Dawn gave to my baby while I was on vacation. The daily communication to keep me posted of how he's doing... The pictures - which I appreciated deeply... The love and attention that she gave to Sharpie.. no words. I highly recommend Dawn to care for your fur babies... I know I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Dawn!”
“Lily was so happy staying with Katie and Tim! I can tell she had a lot of walks and playtime because she’s pretty tired from all the fun. I got plenty of pictures and updates during our time away and always felt in the loop. Thanks Katie and Tim!”
“Vanessa is great! We can tell Molly had a great time in her care!! Knowing Molly was safe, had a proper care, and enjoyed companion in Vanessa’s house while we’re on a trip give us peace of mind. We will definitely book her boarding again!!”
“We had a great experience! My pups were well taken care of, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them for the weekend. They were exhausted from playing with the host’s dogs and going on daily walks which is always a good sign in my book. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Debbie and Reggie took very good care of Daisy and Patch. They communicated well with us and sent daily photos. They clearly kept our pups active and attended to. Feed well even our dogs can be finicky eaters. Would definitely use them again.”
“From the moment we entrusted Blanche to Natalie's care, it was clear that we had found a truly special experience for Miss B while we are away. As a first-time Rover boarding client, I was pretty anxious. However, Natalie's extraordinary compassion and professionalism immediately put my mind at ease. What set Natalie apart was her remarkable communication. She provided frequent, detailed updates through messages, photos, and videos that allowed me to feel connected to Blanche throughout her stay. These thoughtful check-ins were more than just updates—they were windows into Blanche's experience, showcasing the genuine care and attention she was receiving. Natalie's expertise truly shone when Blanche began experiencing some hormonal changes during her boarding stay. Instead of being overwhelmed, Natalie handled the situation with remarkable sensitivity and understanding. Her ability to adapt and provide compassionate care during this time was nothing short of impressive. The environment Natalie provides is a dog's paradise. Her gated and private backyard is a dream space that any canine would be thrilled to explore, offering both fun and safety. It was evident that Blanche was not just being housed, but truly cherished and given the opportunity to enjoy her time away from home. The bond that formed between Natalie and Blanche was heartwarming. Her love and commitment to providing top-tier care cannot be overstated. We are already looking forward to Blanche's next stay with "Auntie Natalie" and cannot recommend her services more highly!!! For any pet owner seeking a boarding experience that combines professional care, loving attention, and constant communication, Natalie is absolutely the gold standard!”
“We were pleased with our new pet sitter. Ana was kind, gentle,and caring to our senior dog, Buster. He was happy when we came home after our 5 day get away. We loved hearing from Ana and receiving pictures of Buster. Thank you, Ana”
“This is the second time we have taken our dog to Matt and Michelle and family. They treat him as one of their own and our dog seems to fit right in. They send pictures and videos to keep you updated. We will continue to take our dog there.”
“Rocky was very well taken care of! They even brought him along when they went out for dinner, which made me feel great knowing he wasn’t left alone. I also appreciated the picture updates throughout the stay — it gave me peace of mind seeing how happy he was. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Kendall is great! She took excellent care of our dogs while we were out of town and did not have any issue with their special needs and unique personalities. She is wonderful at communication as well. We would definitely book with Kendall again!”
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
She was wonderful. Our older dog can be anxious and standoff but seemed comfortable and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I had to. Communication was clear and responsive. I feel it was much better than using a kennel as my dogs were abused at one.
Clarissa did an outstanding job caring for our 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson, for an entire week while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious from the updates that Tyson was having a great time with walks, outdoor play, and lots of love. When she dropped him off tonight, he came home happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true sign that he was well cared for. Clarissa is kind, reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We are incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you again, Clarissa, for taking such wonderful care of Tyson! ❤️
