“We have used Rover for a number of sitters and walkers in the past, and Janette and Charlie are the first ones we've used more than once! They send a ton of photos and videos, and are incredibly flexible with drop-offs/pickups. I know my dog is always in good hands whenever she stays with them!”

“Ruben is ACE APPROVED! My spotted friend can have accidents in new environments or nervous pee. Nope nothing - he had all the potty breaks he needed and clearly was well cared for. Ruben’s place is the equivalent of the coveted middle school overnight gym sleepover except all the kids have four legs. Every tail wagger wants to go! Ace even kept staring at the front door when we left. That’s how you know he had a good time and made awesome friends.”

“Our sweet dog happily boarded for a week while we were on vacation. We loved seeing all of the videos of her throughout our time away. Thanks for taking such great care of her!”

“Leslie was amazing as always! She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking for a quick weekend trip. We always know Sandy is having a wonderful time when she stays at Leslie’s!”

“Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!”

“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”

“Angel took good care of Ivy for a couple nights and sent lots of updates. He was also very flexible and was even willing to drop her off at my place since I wasn’t available to pick her up.”

“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”

“Laura and Vladimir were great! I was gone for about two weeks and they sent me pictures and updates on my pup Roy. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but I knew that Roy was in excellent hands ❤️. Thank you!”

“Joe goes above and beyond to understand the pets in his care. Our dog happily goes to his home. Joe does a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures.”

“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

“Sasha was awesome! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos. We could tell our pup was happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”


“This was our first time working with Arlene to watch our dog for 4 days. We have a 7 year old lab mix. Arlene's communication was excellent, leading up to the first meet and greet and throughout our trip. We received pictures of our dog playing while we were away. Our dog came home and was totally normal and acted like we had never left her! Ha. I would not hesitate using Arlene's services again. Thank you!”

“Rick and his family took great care of my pup! She came home happy and tired from playing with her tennis balls in the yard. Very attentive and sent pictures and updates frequently. I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely consider Rick as a reliable sitter when needed again in the future! Thank you!”

“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”

“Deijah was very quick to respond to my request to watch my baby Arlo at the last minute for the weekend while my husband and I went out of town. She was very easy to get in touch with and sent me updates and pictures frequently. Arlo clearly loved his stay because he was SO tired when he got home. Thank you!”

We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sasha received while we were away for the weekend. Jasmin and her husband were incredibly sweet, kind, and loving, and from the moment we met them, we knew Sasha was in great hands. Knowing our girl was being cared for and loved on like one of their own gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. We truly appreciate the kindness they showed Sasha and would gladly trust them with her again. Highly recommend!

Lauriann and Sven were amazing. From the second we showed up to drop the fur babies off knew we had found some special people. One of our dogs is usually a little slow to warm up to new people but he seemed to be happy and content from the get go. And Sven said they got along splendidly. Lauriann sent update pics throughout the weekend and we could tell the pups were having a great time. We greatly appreciate how kind, attentive, and welcome both Lauriann and Sven are.

I have been leaving my dogs at Robs place for over a year now. My dogs are always excited when they get there and are always having a good time playing with the other pups there. Rob always sends videos of him walking our dogs and of them playing with others which is always great to see. I will continue using Rob for future stays!

Robert watched our dog Izzy and we had a great experience! It’s never easy leaving a senior pup with someone new, but he sent many updates and pictures, and she came home happy and exhausted! Highly recommend, we would love to leave Izzy with him again knowing she is in great, capable hands!
