“So grateful for Kerstyn to take our Charlie last minute. Our dog got along great with hers! I feel bad my she took such good care of her on walks and lots of snuggles. Will use again!”
“This was our first time boarding Maple so we were very nervous and anxious. Maple also had a last minute health issue come up the day we were to drop her off. Andy was great, he provided daily photos and constant updates and was very responsive! We also really appreciate how accommodating he was with the last minute medicine that Maple needed to take”

She was really communicative and accommodating of some last minute changes in my schedule, so glad to have her as part of baileys circle!”

“Anne Marie was so great with Chespi! She was available to do a meet n greet before our time although she was extremely busy. My dog doesn't always cuddle with a sitter on the first night, which assumedly means she's trustworthy and caring. I'll definitely rebook again.”

“Brianne and her family did a wonderful job caring for Kaia! She went over and beyond for repairing one of Kaia’s favorite toys (several times). Her daughters snuggled and played with Kaia treating her with utmost care. She came back exhausted and I always say a tired pup is a happy one!”
“Chad and his wife were wonderful carers for my dog! She experienced some GI issues while staying with them and they made appropriate modifications to her diet and offered helpful tips.”

Rivercrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ewelina was wonderful and took such good care of my dog while I was away. She’s very responsive and attentive. Can’t wait to book with her again!
Although it was a very quick stay, I appreciate Lucas coming through in a last minute bind to watch Banjo. He had a very flexible schedule and communicated well throughout the process, sending pics of their walks, snuggles, etc. thanks Lucas!
I’ve had several sitters watch my dog Lincoln. Claudia was by far the most attentive and communicative. She texted me each day and sometimes the first text I would get, would be a pic of Lincoln’s morning. They went on multiple walks a day, and she always sent me a random cute Lincoln pic. I would trust her with him for any length of time. Super accommodating, lovely to talk to, couldn’t recommend more!
He was very quick to respond and seemed to enjoy our dog and treat her well. He sent at least a picture every day too. Worked out great!
Dana took amazing care of our dog Lola! She took her on lots of walks and provided frequent updates. Dana’s dog, Oscar, was also a wonderful playmate for Lola. Would absolutely ask Dana to watch Lola again!
Emma and Joe were amazing sitters. They were so attentive with our dog and sent lots of pictures and were very communicative. My dog was super happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them.
Kelly did a great job taking care our dog! She was super easy to communicate with and flexible when our drop off times changed a bit. Our dog had a great time and came back happy! Would definely use Kelly again.
Michael was so helpful in taking our dog for boarding on short notice. He took advantage of his apartment’s nearby dog park which was great.
What a wonderful family to have watch your fur babes! My girls were well taken care of & certainly had no shortage of love during their stay. Cannot recommend enough!!
Chip's first stay with Lee went smoothly and I had complete peace of mind that he was well taken care of. Thank you Lee and Lucy!
We’re so grateful to Tiffany for taking such great care of our dog, Cleo! Cleo can be a handful but Tiffany communicated regularly, sent updates and photos, and handled Cleo’s quirks with kindness :) Highly recommend, especially for pets who need a little extra understanding!
Katie has watched Finley several times - he’s always well taken care of and has a great time! Would highly recommend!
Nurana did an excellent job with my big boy Ace. She provided daily updates, photos and videos! Ace seemed to be very happy with his stay as well. I look forward to using Nurana again in the future!
Tara was a fantastic sitter for my dog! She communicated readily, sent daily photos letting me know how my dog was doing, and accommodated my confusion as to when I would be able to retrieve my dog after our trip. She was ultra competent, friendly, and kind. Would definitely recommend her!
Michael and his family were very kind and their home seemed like a great environment for our big energetic Labrador. Good communication throughout the week
Francine took wonderful care of our pup over a long weekend and was very responsive. We highly recommend her!
Joanna and King became best friends instantly. She made him feel right at home and I felt at ease with him in her care. King and I will be excited for her to keep him again!
Leila took great care of Penny for a full week. She was kind enough to meet with us prior to Penny’s stay so that Penny would have a sense of familiarity at drop off. She asked good questions and sent many updates while we were away. We appreciated her caring demeanor and would definitely book again!
Gracie and Drew were awesome hosts! Would definitely recommend. Our dog stayed with them (and their dachshund) for 4 days while we went on a family trip. They were super communicative, easy to work with, and definite dog people. My family and I loved getting lots of photos and updates. Our dog seemed really happy during her stay. She even seemed a bit sad to say goodbye to her hosts! Thanks, Gracie and Drew, for taking such great care of Thea 🙏
