“Kenai had a terrific stay! Everything was super-easy: communication, dropoff, instructions, pickup. We got a photo and updates while we were away. Definitely recommended!”
“Jovani did an amazing job, I needed a sitter on really short notice and he answered almost immediately. Really amazing communication, sent pictures throughout the day, my dog was comfortable in very short time with him. He followed all directions and was always available with any questions or concerns I had!”
“Jayla was an amazing sitter for my pup awhile I was away. She’s quick with communicating and provided alot of updates on how your pet is adjusting during their stay. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Brittany was great with our 4.5 year old Boston Terrier! Our Stevie played great with her dogs and the other dogs she was hosting, Brittany made her feel right at home. We’d recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Our pup is always so happy with Lauren and John! They kept him so comfortable during our busy wedding weekend, and let us focus on the family and friends we had in town. We highly recommend their home :)”
“I booked with Sheree literally last minute. She graciously accepted my request. She did great with my puppy. He was happy and loved on all weekend. Really gave me peace of mind that he was in such good hands. She sent me pics and updates periodically. He had such a good time. I will certainly book with her again. She will be my go to when I go out of town. Thank you Sheree. 😀”
“Kerri & Harry always do a great job with Layla! It's always obvious how much Layla enjoy spending time with them and how well Kerri & Harry take care of Layla.”
“My dog Pinto can be challenging and this has kept me from getting weekends away where I cannot bring her. Despite Pinto's difficulty with other pets and being tough to walk, Maryori did an amazing job. She stayed in touch all weekend and sent beautiful pictures of her and Pinto out and about so that I felt reassured and able to enjoy my time away!”
“Yesenia and her family are amazing. We constantly get updates of Poe and how he is doing and everyone felt welcome in their home from the very first meet and greet. She even sends him home with a little treat bag and report card!”
“Excellent service! Jack absolutely loved staying with Christina. I’ve never seen him more comfortable, more relaxed with anyone so quickly. I felt completely at ease leaving with Jack with Christina. From drop off to pickup I was kept aware of how things were going. When you leave your animal in Christina’s care you could be sure that they will be left with someone who is going to make them feel at home, which is such a relief for those of us who are anxious about doing so.”
“She is amazing. Very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog adored her. She sent pictures of how my dog was doing and updates which really put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her.”
“Lauren provided EXCELLENT boarding services for Rocky. From the meet and greet, drop off and pick up. She sent photos and communicated several times a day. I was totally relieved with Lauren. I almost felt guilty that I wasn’t worried.😂 I would use Lauren again with no hesitation!”
“Brineydi was great! She sent me pictures and updates everyday, that put us in a lot of ease while traveling. She was patient and gave Apple extra care on the first day he was a bit nervous. I would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Mike took great care of my little guy while I was away. It was my first time leaving my dog with anyone and was nervous about it, but Mike made the process smooth, answered all my questions, and kept me informed on how my buddy was doing. Thank you!!”
“First time use Rover and had a fantastic experience with Emeline! Great communication, Emeline was always quick to reply, and constantly check in with us, and we scheduled a visit before boarding. Emeline is very patient and truly loves animals, and she bought our puppy treat and gave him plenty of toys to play with, I can see that my puppy was happy!”
“We had a great experience with Victoria taking care of our German Shepherd puppy for a week. She provided regular updates and sent videos. We knew our Teddy was in good hands. Victoria is reliable, kind, caring. We highly recommend her!”

Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leanne and Mark were professional and so patient with our senior dog. Bailey seemed very comfortable with them during her long stay there. They took her for long walks and sent photos and updates on a regular basis. We would highly recommend Leanne and Mark and look forward to using them for future dog boarding.
Matt and Leanna took care of our two dogs for two days while we went away. Amazing is an understatement. The dogs were so comfortable and Matt went the extra mile by taking the dogs to a big park twice! They're still tired out which was relieving after traveling with two toddlers. We will absolutely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Thank you so much!!
Craig took amazing care of our two pups while we travelled for the Christmas holiday. His place was absolutely perfect with the large back yard, and he also took them on many walks throughout the day. They had a great experience. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Randi was absolutely amazing! I always get nervous leaving Harper but she made me feel much better about everything. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent pictures to ease my concerns. She was very attentive about keeping with our regular routines. I would highly recommend booking with her and definitely plan to book with her again in the future!
