“Megan is a awesome sitter! She has welcomed my dog twice in her home and he’ll back for a 3rd time. From sending pictures everyday to understanding running late for pick up time. Thank you Megan!”
“Gail was absolutely amazing , she sent pictures the entire time I was out of the country and communicated how they were doing ! She was so sweet and so kind , my dogs adore her!”
“Kaitlynn is great! This was our second time using her and she took great care of our fur baby. Communication is great and she was very flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up.”
“Tanaya was amazing with our dogs. She provided daily pictures and communicated when one of my dogs was refusing to eat (due to nervousness). My dogs were happy during their stay and got along well with her dogs. If I need a sitter, I'm definitely going to check her availability first!”
“I HIGHLY recommend Brittney. I relocated to Virginia from Charlotte North Carolina. She had my dog for 3 weeks while I waited to move into my apartment. My dog was very comfortable with her. Brittney communicated often, sent me pictures and allowed me to stop by and visit Mona. It was really hard being away from my dog. When I left after the visit, Mona remained very calm, she didn't whine or nothing. I knew then, that Mona was comfortable. So I will absolutely use her again if needed.”
“Karol took amazing care of our puppy! We got regular updates with photos and videos of all the fun he was having playing and going on walks! We will definitely be booking Karol again anytime we need a dog sitter!”
“Kim is FANTASTIC! My boys had an absolutely amazing time. We rarely leave them. Before we would just have someone come to let them in and out, plus make sure they had food and water. The last time our wolfhound got too depressed being without people. This time we knew we wanted them to be with someone. Kim was amazing! She gave us TONS of updates and was so patient and understanding with our youngest pup “adjusting “ to a new environment. They boys had a great time! We are excited to have found a safe, loving environment to leave our fur babies with while we are gone!”
“My dogs seemed to have a great time with Orly. They were very tired when they got home. My experience with Orly was wonderful and I hope to have Baxter and Harper stay with her again.”
“Ellen is wonderful and took excellent care of my dog! Her fenced back yard was great for him! Ellen was awesome about communicating with me during the boarding and she texted some adorable pictures! Highly recommended!”
“Julie & Kenneth N is a true lifesaver! I was so worried when my dog got loose, but Julie & Kenneth N went above and beyond to find him. They were incredibly responsive, calm, and reassuring throughout the entire ordeal. Thanks to their quick thinking and dedication, my furry friend was safely returned home. I can't thank them enough for their heroic efforts. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet”
“Brittany was truly outstanding with our sweet Max—especially given her anxiety. She took the time to get to know Max’s personality, making her feel loved and secure from day one. Each day was full of fun, with dog‑park visits, afternoon walks, and treats that Max absolutely adored! Brittany handled potty training with patience and kindness, always encouraging Max at her own pace. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and delivered plenty of adorable photos and videos that helped calm our minds. Brittany’s warmth and care made all the difference. Thank you!”
“I can not recommend Camryn enough!!! My dog, Cedar, is my baby so when my boyfriend and I had a wedding to go to, I was super nervous to leave him. I have never left him with anyone but family so it was very hard trying to find someone I trusted enough to watch him. From her first message I knew Camryn would be the perfect fit to take care of my dog! Cedar and I both have separation anxiety but she sent me updates and pictures multiple times a day which definitely made me feel so much better! She will 100% treat your dog like her own! I will definitely be using Camryn again in the future.”
“As our dogs are getting older, they don't do well in a large group boarding setting anymore. We decided to give in-home boarding a try with Geneive and could not be happier! She took such excellent care of them and kept us updated with pictures the whole time. We knew they were comfortable and truly being treated like part of the family. They came home clean, calm, and happy! We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Amazing! They were so communicative and accommodating. They sent numerous pictures during my dogs stay. When we picked up our dogs they were happy and tired. One of my dogs actually looks sad leaving. Overall, great sitters and we will be using them again.”
“Absolutely amazing! Our cooper had the best time staying with Shannon and she loved him like one of her own. Her two pups are precious too. She sent plenty of pictures of him having a great time to make me feel better about being away from him. Will definitely book again!!”
“We had a great experience with Kathleen, great communication. Even before we dropped off our dog she was communicating with us and answered any concerns I had. Stays in contact and is great with keeping you updated with what the dog is doing through great videos and a lot good pictures. If you’re looking for a great person to take of your dog you found the right person. Thank you for everything Kathleen.”

Portsmouth Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan did an amazing job caring for our dog on a recent overnight! She was flexible, provided pictures and was thoughtful about how she introduced other dogs in her care at the same time. We picked him up happy and healthy. We will definitely use Megan again in the future!
This review truly cannot capture the immense care, time, and energy that Yaniras and her family dedicate to my Yorkie whenever they look after her. This is my second time entrusting my little one to them, and each time, they go above and beyond to ensure she feels right at home. Even when my fur baby had her moments and was nippy at times, they did everything possible to keep her comfortable and shower her with attention. As long as they are available, I will always choose them to care for Bella—she seems to enjoy their company even more than ours! Their level of care deserves more than five stars!
Jenelle and her family were amazing! She took care of my 2 energetic goldendoodles for a week and treated them as her own pups. She even went out of her way to assist in doing some leash walking training with them. She provided regular updates, took them on walks, and they even cuddled with her kiddos. I’d recommend her to anyone!
Bradyn was absolutely amazing with our dog, Anja! From the moment they met, it was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. Bradyn kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief to know Anja was in such loving and responsible hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend Bradyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!
We are IN LOVE with them and if possible, we won’t ask anyone else to watch our dogs anymore. We had the most phenomenal experience, lots of updates and pictures, our dogs loved them from the very beginning and my dog mom heart has never felt more at peace. I was so anxious about leaving my dogs with them but this was even better than I could’ve imagined. 100/10 stars. 💗
Michaela was absolutely exceptional! While I was on vacation, I never had to worry—she was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and her communication was outstanding. I received regular updates and photos of my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is professional, dependable, and you can truly tell she cares for your pets as if they were her own. My dog was clearly happy and very well cared for. I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing service!
Jennifer was excellent. She handled my senior pup with his meds and mobility issues perfectly. He is a bit of a challenge with age related issues. I was kept informed and sent pictures. My special anxiety child was also cared for and even asked for pets and went on walks. For her this is a big deal. Jennifer must have a lot of patience. Flexible with schedule and outstanding communication. Highly recommend and would be happy to schedule services in the future
This family is so sweet and go above and beyond for your pet! We left our 2 puppies with them over christmas and we continued to get updates, pictures and consistent communication. They are so loving to your pets. Truly a home away from home for them! Couldn’t have found a better sitter! Highly highly recommend!
Diana saved us at the last minute after we had a different rover sitter cancel on us right as we were trying to drop Remy off. Not only was Diana willing to sacrifice her own weekend to watch Remy, she ended up being the best sitter I've ever had on this site. She was so loving towards Remy and treated her just like her own. She updated us daily with photos and was so flexible with our pick up time when our flight home was delayed. I will only reach out to Diane to take care of our girl now!
