“Noemi and her family were very sweet and patient with our first time boarder. She sent updates and pictures showing our dog acclimating to their home and their own dog. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Sandy is great...very kind lady who loves these dogs, has big concern for safety and shows the extra care to help get the dogs adjusted. Our Panda (chihuahua) looked very happy in all the pics Sandy texted everyday. Panda made new friends and got to sleep in bed with Sandy or her daughter each night. Our family is looking forward to our next trip being worry-free when it comes to Panda's care! Thanks Sandy!!!”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“Kristopher was so kind, conscientious and meticulous with the care of our beloved babes! He sent great photos of them having a blast with him. 10/10 for sure, and we will be calling him again when we need pet care. So grateful! Thank you, Kristopher! :D”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“When we came to pick up Dory the next day she ran out to say hi and was ready to follow Hayleigh back in the house when she went to grab her bed. So safe to say Dory had a blast!”
“Keelan & Sabrina take wonderful care of Rosie. I am so grateful for their kindness and patience with her. Rosie seems to enjoy her visits with Keelan & Sabrina. She comes home happy and exhausted, just perfect.”
“Thank you, Allen, for taking such great care of Freyja! Allen's regular check-ins and videos put us fully at ease and let us see that our girl was doing fine without us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for dog day care or boarding. Allen understands dogs, and he understands what dogs mean to their people.”
“Tammy was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog, Mizu. Tammy communicated frequently, sent lots of photos, and we could tell that Mizu felt right at home with her. We felt so comfortable knowing that Mizu was loved and taken care of during our trip! Thanks Tammy!!”
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”
“Linda is the best with our funny and sensitive little dog! She sends us photos and updates daily, and seems to spoil her. We feel lucky and grateful for Linda!”
“Taylor and Liv were phenomenal sitters. They were great communicators and took great care of our pup for the weekend while providing consistent updates(with pics)! We were very happy with the support of girl recieved and will absolutely be utilizing their services again!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
“After just moving to Oregon, I was put in a pinch. Had to travel back east for a funeral. I don't know anyone here yet and needed a dog sitter. Back to ROVER I went. That's when I found Amanda. On short notice she invited us over for a meet and greet. I always get worried when I have to leave da pooch behind. She's like my child. Amanda was warm and welcoming. She greeted us with a smile. After a short time, I knew she was the sitter for us. I was only gone for 4 days. The communication was great. She sent pics on a daily to give me the comfort knowing my Pooch was doing OK, and most of all HAPPY 😊. I have to travel again next month, and have already reached back out. Definitely a great choice. You won't be disappointed. I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 👍👍”
“We had a wonderful experience with Madeline and highly recommend her! She took great care of our dog, Jayda, during a stressful time for our family and made the whole process so much easier. Madeline was communicative and sent regular updates with photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to get to know Jayda and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future! Thank you so much, Madeline!”
“Our pup Bijou had a wonderful vacation with Jamie and Nicole while we were away. She went on some nice walks, and a couple of longer hikes during her week with them. We feel very comfortable leaving her in their care. She is always well treated and loved during her stays.”
“Bri is a sweet, gentle person and I felt safe leaving my relatively recent rescue doggy with her and her dog family. Her backyard is giant, grassy, with several large trees. A really beautiful setting. She is somehow able to manage babysitting multiple dogs with grace. The photos she sent of my dog sleeping and playing with other dogs were priceless. Will definitely be a repeat boarder!”
“This was our second stay with Allison. Penny ended up with a bad medication reaction the night before we dropped her off to Allison for a planned vacation. Allison reassured us that she would be able to manage Penny, her symptoms, and her new medication regimen. We were able to leave Penny and enjoy our vacation (camping with no cell service) as we knew Allison would take great care of her. When we got to an area with reception, our phones blew up with messages from Allison and photos of Penny enjoying her time with other dogs. I really appreciate Allison being a sitter on Rover. I will definitely book with her the next time we need or want a sitter for the day or over several nights.”
“Amanda was amazing. My little guy has glacouma and it was the first trip away since his diagnosis. I was very worried leaving him for the first time, but Amanda took such great care of Koji and put me at ease when we did the meet and greet and at the drop off. Daily updates and flexibility with pickup times were greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!!”

Brianna was the absolute perfect sitter with Bluebonnet! She clearly loved having her, they snuggled often. And Bluebonnet is a leash puller & tough walker, and Brianna has absolutely no trouble handling her. We will absolutely use Brianna as a sitter again, and I would highly recommend her to others!
Paul and Arnel are absolutely wonderful! This is the third time Daisy has stayed with them and every visit reinforces how lucky we feel to have found such caring and trustworthy sitters. We always have complete peace of mind knowing Daisy is in their care. They provide the most thoughtful updates throughout her stay and the photos are always fantastic. It’s clear from every picture and message that Daisy is happy, comfortable, and well-loved while she’s with them. They treat her like part of the family and that means so much to us. We couldn’t recommend Paul and Arnel more highly and will happily continue booking with them whenever we need care for Daisy!
Tsitsiki was an absolute dream. The communication was top notch, they are SO sweet, they took care of our dog soooo lovingly, and we couldn't have trusted them more. If you are reading this, just book right away - you are in the right place for your furry best friend.
My dog is a sweet but VERY anxious rescue. She warms up to people over time, but with hesitation. I’m so grateful when I get photos of Pepper snuggling up with Sandra on the couch and happily hanging out. She’s so loved and cared for. Such piece of mind for me when I’m out of town! 💕
I did two back to back trips leaving my dog with Navjot and I couldn't be happier with how it went. Monty was so comfortable in his space and he was good with getting her outside and having time to explore. Navjot also was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates during her stays. I will definitely use Navjot again for any future trips.
