“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”
“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”
“Doug & Deb are wonderful pet parents! With short notice, they took in my senior dog and made her feel home. Well cared for and exercised. We will definitely come back!”
“Diana & Scott were wonderful! I felt super comfortable leaving my elderly dog with them and could tell she was very well taken care of! Also they sent great pictures! Would definitely recommend them!”
“Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!”
“I can’t express how WONDERFUL our dogs stay was with Peter. We received constant updates and our sweet Cocoa was treated exactly as a family member (truly!). We were so happy knowing our pup was with such loving and caring people. We will absolutely be staying with them again!”
“This was our first time working with Arlene to watch our dog for 4 days. We have a 7 year old lab mix. Arlene's communication was excellent, leading up to the first meet and greet and throughout our trip. We received pictures of our dog playing while we were away. Our dog came home and was totally normal and acted like we had never left her! Ha. I would not hesitate using Arlene's services again. Thank you!”
“Sassy had such an amazing time with Michael and Joanna. They really made her feel at home. They have the perfect setup to take care of your pets with all of the essentials and more! Sassy was able to make new friends and receive all the love and attention she desires. They made sure to keep me up to date by sending daily pics and videos. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your dog, be sure to book with them. They are true pet professionals that provide the support and care needed for your animals. And they even made a cute collar and bandana for Sassy that she loves! I will definitely bring Sassy back whenever I need a sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Clarissa made this a wonderful experience. Communication was great and she will tailor to your pups personality and needs! She was warm and friendly and I am pretty sure my pup wanted to stay a little longer. 😆”
“Rob is a good dog sitter and I feel good about leaving my dogs with him. My dog Jerry has can have difficulty being in new places and he did well staying with Rob. I recommend Rob.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Tammy gave me updates and shared photos of the dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She had fun toys available for them to play with. The dogs were happy and content when I picked-up them up. I would definitely ask her to dog sit again.”
“I was really nervous leaving my dog with a sitter however after meeting Vicky I was ok leaving my dog with her. Vicky has a calming soul, which you will notice if you ever meet her. I knew my dog was in good hands. Pictures and videos were sent to me regularly which was much appreciated.”
“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”
“Tully has stayed with Rico three times now, and each time she comes home totally exhausted and unbelievably happy. Rico sends a ton of pictures, gives her plenty of walks, lets her explore the backyard, and generally just gives her (and us!) a wonderful experience. We can’t recommend him and his family enough for your dog-sitting needs!”

Nelia took great care of my dog while I was away on vacation! She regularly took my dog on walks, updated me, and constantly sent photos and videos which I really appreciated! My dog was very happy while she was sitting and when I picked her up. I’ll definitely rebook some other time.
Georgia really helped us out in a pinch! Our dog Hunter hadn't been to a new sitter's in 7 years, so we requested a meet 'n greet. I knew from the moment we pulled up that he'd love it there. He got on immediately with her dog. While we were away, she shared videos and photos of him enjoying treats and making himself at home. I would highly recommend Georgia!
Roux had a wonderful stay and Tammy's home was clean, beautiful and welcoming. Tammy was very communicative and easy to chat with. My only small note was there were a lot of other dogs in her care, which I wasn't aware of when booking. Everyone seemed to get along well, although my pup does best in a 1-2 dog home environment.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sasha received while we were away for the weekend. Jasmin and her husband were incredibly sweet, kind, and loving, and from the moment we met them, we knew Sasha was in great hands. Knowing our girl was being cared for and loved on like one of their own gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. We truly appreciate the kindness they showed Sasha and would gladly trust them with her again. Highly recommend!
Elliot was amazing with my very nervous dog. He took such great care of my dog Ona. Typically Ona is timid and we usually have to do a few meet and greets before she seems even a little bit comfortable for a stay. With Elliot in a few minutes she was asking for pets, his ability to read her really shows how well he knows dogs. I would highly recommend Elliot to anyone with a dog that is nervous or shy. Ona will be staying here often.
I could not have asked for a better experience! Our dog, Russell, is a pretty anxious pup, so I was a little nervous leaving him with a new sitter, but Abigail put me completely at ease and more importantly, she put HIM at ease. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. She followed his routine perfectly, which makes such a difference for an anxious dog. She kept me updated with timely check-ins and photos, and whenever she wanted to try something new with him, she always asked first. That kind of thoughtfulness and respect for my pup's needs really stood out. She treated him like her own, and it showed. I have already rebooked and would recommend her to anyone! I am so grateful I found her!
Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!
Tim did a fantastic job watching my dog, Simba. He was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. Simba was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Simba!
Highly Recommended Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we left our dogs in their care, we felt completely at ease knowing they were being treated with so much love, attention, and compassion. They truly went above and beyond our expectations and cared for our dogs as if they were part of their own family. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and receiving excellent care. Seeing how relaxed and content our dogs were made all the difference. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really stood out. They paid attention to our dogs’ needs, routines, and personalities, ensuring they felt safe and loved while we were away. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about caring for pets, I wholeheartedly recommend them. We would not hesitate to book with them again and are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care they provided. Thank you for treating our dogs like family! ❤️🐾
Lauriann and Sven were amazing. From the second we showed up to drop the fur babies off knew we had found some special people. One of our dogs is usually a little slow to warm up to new people but he seemed to be happy and content from the get go. And Sven said they got along splendidly. Lauriann sent update pics throughout the weekend and we could tell the pups were having a great time. We greatly appreciate how kind, attentive, and welcome both Lauriann and Sven are.
“Bere was very helpful and communicated with me throughout the entire process. She made everything so easy, especially since this was our first time using Rover and leaving Willow and Vixen with someone new. We felt comfortable knowing they were in great hands, and we truly appreciated her care and updates
