“Stella was great for Riley. In fact he is probably upset we picked him up as he got to go to dog park daily. Stella was accommodating as our flight got delayed and Riley had to spend an additional night. Will definitely see if Stella is available for the next time Riley needs cared for”
“We are very happy with Amber. She and her husband are very accommodating with our last minute change of schedule. They uploaded pictures of Toby everyday. He had a wonderful time exploring their backyard and sleeping cozily on the couch😀. Would definitely leave Toby with them again.”
“Shelley was very professional. She had questions ready for us before our booking and sent regular pictures. She took care of my dog when he was having issues with allergies as well. I will definitely book again!”
“Carolyn was great with taking care of Zelda! She was flexible and showed a lot of care. Zelda had a great time! She was good with giving medicine and ear drops even though it was a complicated schedule. Would book again!”
“Put simply Amy was AMAZING and Nala had a great time. We will certainly be repeat customers. She kept me up to date with photos and videos. Sent plenty of notes and was very responsive. She was flexible with pickup and drop off times. Thank you AMY and see you again soon!”
“Luong provided daily updates without even asking for them! He took great care of Batman & Robin. We can tell they had a good time with him. He even sent them back off to us with some new toys he bought for them which was so nice of him. We will definitely book with him again if he’s available! Highly recommend him and his home.”
“Amazing friendly service, Sandra took our cat in last minute and took great care of him! She gave updates and had very clear communication. Absolutely recommend her services. I will definitely be a returning customer!”
“Steven is by far the BEST dog sitter I have ever used in my life. He is the God Father when it comes to dogs. My dogs fell in love with him and you can tell he has so much passion doing what he does. He was very accommodating when I had a flight emergency and worked with me. His place has a yard that makes it so easy for dogs to go in and out if they can’t go on walks. I highly recommend him for anyone that is looking for great sitter and fun time for their dogs. Definitely using him again next time we travel. He was sending me pictures every day and the dogs were so happy and having so much fun and love. Thank you Steven for the excellent care you gave my dogs.”
“(boarding) Aunt Vicki provided frequent updates/pictures that helped put my mind at ease while being away from my rescue for the first time! She was very flexible with pick-up time when my flight was delayed.”
“We had a great experience with our pet staying with Mark. He communicated very well with us throughout the entire process, provided daily updates, and our pet enjoyed his stay with Mark so much that he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend.”
“Tich was excellent! She took excellent care of my two Boston terriers for 2 weeks. They were walked multiple times a day and received lots of love and attention. I would definitely recommend Tich for animal sitting/boarding. She is a wonderful human and I felt full confidence from her that my pets were being cared for properly while I was out of Country on a business trip.”
“My dog's Maui and Lobo are extremely attached to the family, specially to me; and I've been really anxious about leaving them with someone else ( 1st time for them and me the separation)thought they might be too sad or behave badly for the person watching them)Lisa did a wonderful job with them they are spoiled and loved; She send pictures and updates everyday and we felt great knowing ours babies ?? are in good hands; The backyard are secure and just right for my babies to have room to play or enjoyed the sunny day's; We are so glad we found Lisa!! Felt very safe; Thank you Lisa for taking such good care of them; We will definitely use Lisa for our dog boarding from now on.?”
“Raven took care of my small yorky who is in his golden years with such great care & attention. I can tell that she has a passion for this. The regular photo updates, walks, and even a complimentary bath was truly above and beyond. I will be using Raven again for future dog boarding. 100% recommend.”
“Jennifer gave us peace of mind while we are on vacation. She continued to give us updates and sent pictures of our baby. This is Kelly’s vacation home while we are away. See you soon Jennifer.”

I could not recommend Fernanda & Matthew enough!! They were incredibly patient and loving to our sweet Ralphie, who we adopted only 2 months ago. Ralphie didn't really want to come home with us which is a great sign that he felt safe and very loved by this incredible family!
Shelley was amazing and our furry family member Miles, had the time of his life in her care! She took pictures and shot videos that made us feel closer to Him while we were away. She was extremely professional yet very personable. I will absolutely take Miles back to her whenever the need arises.
My senior dog unfortunately was sick and had bad diarrhea while staying with Shannon. She took care of him, cleaned him up, and cleaned up his bedding. And she kept me informed until I could pick him up. I really appreciated her great care of my baby, and she checked up on him the next day!
Jamie and her family are amazing! They watch my dog frequently and always take very good care of Bella (who can be a little fiesty with other pups) she has no issues during her stays here. Jamie always sends plenty of pictures and videos to update me. Bella comes home worn out and happy from playing so much. Definitely recommend this sitter!
We’re hesitant to write the glowing review Mike and Sarah deserve because we don’t want them to start getting all booked up, so we can’t have them look after our pups whenever we need them to. They’re by far the best Rover boarders we’ve found, and we’ve tried quite a few over the years. Their house is clean and inviting. Their own dog, Archie, is loving and playful and provided a great play companion to the more active of our two dogs. And Mike and Sarah are caring and loving people who cared for our pets like they were their own. Great, timely communication with lots of pictures while we were out of town. We felt totally at ease leaving Wyatt and PK in their care. 💯% would and will turn to them again for boarding in the future.
Lu is the best! She provided my dog with elevated care because of a small wound that needed tending to that formed before I dropped her off. My flight was also delayed getting back to Dallas and Lu was so accommodating with those unforeseen circumstances. Can’t wait to book Lu again for my next boarding needs.
I absolutely love Olaitan and the attention and care she gave to my child Dillion. She kept in constant communication with me before and during sitting. My baby actually ate while I was gone which sometimes he will not do when leaving with a sitter. I will definitely book her again.
I had such a great experience with Sophia and Andrew! Throughout the stay, they sent plenty of photo and video updates and my dog came home happily exhausted from playing. I’d absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!
We had an amazing experience with Jena! I have not used Rover in a few years and was a little nervous leaving my dog with a new person, but Jena made us feel comfortable and took really great care of our dog. We received multiple pictures and videos, as well as updates. Jena even made special treats and gave our dog a spa day. I feel very comfortable working with Jena again in the future AND recommending her to anyone needing pet boarding.
Hollie and Brian were amazing as always! They were so accommodating when we had flight delays and cancellations. They watched all 3 of our dogs and they sent the best pictures every day. We are so grateful for them and they are always our first choice to watch our pups when we go away.
