“Nick boarded Bella and did an amazing job! From the pick up to the drop off this experience was great. Each day Nick sent me a daily update along with many photos. He put all reservations to ease with the updates. Bella returned happy and ready to go with Nick when he dropped her off. She even stood at the window looking for him. I will definitely utilize Nick again and recommend him. Thank you Nick for taking such great care of Bella!”
“Christina was great with Katsu! This is the second time she’s watched him, and he loves being there. She is very accommodating and takes him on lots of walks and lets him on her bed and pillows:) I had a flight delay and she graciously kept Katsu an extra day. Katsu is picky about his people, but he took to her right away. When I’m away, I know he’s well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Kerry is AMAZING!! She took such amazing care of Poppy and sent pictures every day, she is truly amazing and will take such great care of your fur babies🥹🩷”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“It was my first time using Rover. Alexis was fantastic at watching my dog, Prince! She provided daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was obvious he was having a great time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Definitely a much better experience than a traditional doggy hotel. I will be using her service again. Also, I highly recommend her.”
“She took amazing care of Jack and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly loves animals. Jack felt comfortable and well cared for, and I had total peace of mind while he was with her. Communication was great, with updates and quick responses, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional caregiver for their pet. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Zenith cared for my dog from February 19–22, and I am so grateful for her. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent sweet updates, photos, and videos that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear she treated him with genuine love and care, just like I would. I never once worried while I was away. I would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pup.”
“Joy was so great watching my dog this past weekend! She kept me updated with photos all weekend long - I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you for the help!”
“So happy I found this website and Jayanna! She did an amazing job and made my dog feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous around the other dogs at first. Jayanna was patient and caring. She sent us photos and videos throughout the stay without us even having to ask, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since our booking request was made only two hours in advance. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Bri is amazing! She’s super responsive and sends lots of photos and videos when my two dogs are at her house. My dogs love Bri so much they don’t want to come home when we pick them up.”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Snoopy had a wonderful time on his vacay with Janet! Janet spoiled him with plenty of walks during the day, lots of playtime and extra love! We knew he was having fun because Janet sent us pictures of him playing, having fun and even getting in a good afternoon nap which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation too. He can't wait for us to go on vacation again!”
“Our dog Pinta loved staying with Eric and his wife. They were super communicative with us and took her on lots of walks even in the snow and very cold temperatures. It was clear that our pup received a lot of love! We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.”
“Renee was exceptional! She took great care of my dog Kalo. She was very communicative and provided many updates. She did a great job managing all the medications my senior dog takes. Would definitely book again!”
“Jen and family took great care of Penny. Penny was excited to return to their house for her stay with them, after the meet and greet. Jen sent photos and updates every day and we knew Penny was getting plenty of lap time and love. Penny came home happy and we feel very fortunate to have found Jen!”
“Emeline was a great sitter for our maltipoo while we were away on vacation for 12 days. Emeline was very welcoming to us when we first met with her, and we could tell she was confident in her ability. Emeline kept us up to date each day with a note and a picture of the days activities, which helped us know our dog was being well taken care of. We will use her again! Thanks Emeline!”
“Ginger was the best! She was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times as my schedule was a little up in the air. She took Puddle for an hour walk and sent fun pictures and updates throughout the visit. I 100% recommend Ginger!”
“Peanellopy was GREAT! Skai came home smiling. I know my pup can be very high energy and she also pulls on the leash a bit. She handled skai well and was very communicative! i would boom again”
“Jake was great. Very communicative, and let us know of our boys happenings. Buddy was nice and exhausted when he got home. Highly recommend, will book with him again.”
Richmond dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christina is absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old pup. She is very accommodating of our instructions for his meals and gives frequent walks which is great for our boy! Christina is also an excellent communicator and responds quickly. Highly recommend, and planning on Roonie getting another vacation with Christina the next time we are in need of a sitter!
My doggy Bash had a wonderful stay with Jhoana! He was very well taken care of!! Jhoana was extremely communicative; she always sent me pics, and in all of them Bash looked like he was having an absolute blast!! He had ample play time, potty breaks, he was well fed, and slept very comfortably. I knew he was in exceptional hands, and I know he cant wait to go back lol!
Artesha was an EXCELLENT sitter! I had a young puppy (5 months) and had to go on a long international trip. I was really nervous about leaving her when anyone because it is such an impressionable age and she is a sport dog prospect. Artesha was kind, knowledgeable, and experienced, so I decided to go with her. I couldn’t have booked with anyone better! Artesha made sure my puppy had plenty of positive socialization with other, safe dogs (hers and a couple of daycare clients) and people. During my trip she gave me brief updates and photos via WhatsApp. She put my mind completely at ease despite me being so far away. My dog was so calm and satisfied when I picked her up. 10/10 would recommend and book again! Thank you sooo much, Artesha!
Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.
Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly responsive to Annie’s personality, followed every little instruction carefully, and even went above and beyond by buying her food when it ran out. After being apart for 20 days, I was so relieved to come back and find Annie in the best spirits. It was clear she was well cared for and loved. Thank you so much, Sarah!
