“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Rebeca and her husband were great! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Walter's stay. He looked very happy and tired from all the walks and play time. We will absolutely use them again. Thanks!”
“Luke has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Murphy. This was our pup’s second stay with him, and it is clear how much he genuinely cares. Our dog loves him and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Luke communicates clearly, sends updates, and creates a welcoming environment. It gives tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is safe and enjoying his time while we are away. Highly recommend Luke for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Our first home boarding experience and we couldn’t have been happier. Easy to work with, great communication, and took great care of our dog. Will definitely use again.”
“Katherine was wonderful with my dog! We did a meet and greet before the stay and my dog was so excited to see her when I dropped her off for the extra long weekend! I would highly recommend Katherine!”
“Ozzi had such a great time with Yang and her family. They welcomed him into their home and took great care of him. We received photos and videos every day to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. He will definitely go back on our next time away!”
“She took such great care of Remi and we felt so at ease, even though it was the first time we’ve had our pup stay with someone else. We loved the updates and photos and will definitely be using Gienna again!”
“Paul and Megan were excellent hosts for Kenobi. From the meet and greet I could tell Kenobi felt comfortable in their presence. They were very responsive and great at communication. The frequency of updates and pictures was just right and we came back to a healthy, happy dog. Would absolutely recommend. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our whole lives and truly enjoy caring for them together. We have our own adult Labrador, whom we adopted when she was about one year old, so we understand how important it is to create a calm, attentive environment for a dog when their owners are away. Over the years, we’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, and we always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and settled in a home setting. We provide a low-stress, relaxed environment and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level — some enjoy playing, while others prefer to rest and stay close to people, and we’re happy to adjust accordingly. One of us is home most of the time, so dogs are rarely left alone and always have company and attention throughout the day. Our goal is to make them feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. Most of the time, both my husband and I are home, which allows us to give dogs plenty of attention and care. We’re flexible and adjust the day depending on each dog’s needs and energy level. Dogs in our home are always supervised, and we pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and interactions. We introduce new environments calmly and give dogs time to settle in at their own pace. We follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions, and we avoid sudden changes that could cause stress.
“This was the first time we left our lab for 3 full nights. Lori sent me pics and videos so I knew our Shadow was having a great time - which allowed us to enjoy our time. When we first walked in to Lori’s home I could feel the comfort level for all pets and people alike. I could tell that Shadow would be able to relax. I will not hesitate to reach out to Lori for her availability if we need to travel for any reason. With the govt shutdown I was concerned that we might get delayed but Lori responded immediately to my concern and to any questions I had.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Likun—she is truly the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment Chewy arrived, he was showered with so much love, attention, and care. 🐾💛 She spent tons of time playing with him and made sure he was always happy and engaged. Her large backyard was an absolute dream—plenty of space for Chewy to run around, explore, and have the time of his life! It honestly felt like a mini vacation for him. What really stood out was the 1-on-1 attention she gave him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Chewy absolutely adored her. I picked him up relaxed, happy, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and full of love for your pup, Likun is it. We will definitely be booking with her again—Chewy can’t wait to go back!”
“We could not have asked for more from Neil and Elizabeth (and Percy)! Our little Riley was immediately comfortable in their home and played great with Percy from the first meeting, even though she is normally timid at first. And throughout our trip we received photos, videos, and messages letting us know that Riley was having fun with her new friend Percy. We will definitely look to Neil and Elizabeth again as Riley had the perfect vacation away from home.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“Sam watched Wendy while we were out of town for a long trip and was so wonderful! She sent daily updates and photos of their walks and on how Wendy was doing - it was clear that Wendy was comfortable and in great hands. We would love to have Sam take care of her again!”
“Pino was very well taken care of and we could tell was super happy during his entire stay with Wendy. We’ll definitely have her watch Pino again in the future!”

Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
Luke is amazing! This was our third time leaving our pup Peanut with Luke and Peanut had a great time. Luke took Peanut on a winter hike and cared for him so well. We are grateful that Luke was available given how much our pup loves staying at Luke’s. Our pup literally ran to Luke when we dropped him off :) thanks again Luke for taking such good care of Peanut and for sending regular updates :)
Vibutesh took really good care of Ori during a last minute booking we had. He sent us frequent updates and accomodated all of our requests for Ori. He was also very flexible with timings and such. I highly recommend Vibutesh and would definitely book him again for Ori !
We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!
We’ve tried other sitters on Rover, but this was by far the best! Their spacious, fenced backyard was perfect and our dogs absolutely loved it there. Our dogs can sometimes get overly excited meeting new people and dogs, but both them and their dog, Newton, were so gentle and accommodating. They sent tons of photos and videos throughout the day, so we never worried for a second. Our pups had an amazing time - honestly seemed a bit sad when they got home! It truly felt like a little vacation for them, and we will definitely be back!!🤍
This was the first time Nala stayed over night with someone who she didn’t know since she was a puppy. Nala has some separation anxiety and I felt so at ease leaving her. Anka was responsive and very affectionate. Nala had an amazing time with Anka this past weekend. Both Nala and I were very lucky to have come across Anka.
