“Our pups were so excited to return to Ashleigh, Bill, & Tucker's home for their 2nd visit. We received great photos of the pups playing & having fun throughout our time away. We are thankful for the great care Ashleigh & Bill provided!”


“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”


“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”


“Looks like Leo really enjoyed his time there with Heavyn, and her pups. She was sweet to him and he clearly fell in love with here, also she is a very kind person to speak with. I will definitely keep coming back for boarding.”


“Amber was wonderful with our dog! He is a bit anxious around unfamiliar people and she did everything to make him feel comfortable. I am so thankful to have found her! We will definitely book with her again in the future!”


“Casey is phenomenal! She kept me updated the entire time my dog was with her. I’ve never felt more secure knowing that my dog was with someone else. She kept me updated with pictures and videos without me having to ask. My dog loves her. We will be back!! 🤍🤍🤍”



“This was our first time using Rover. Jessica and Carol were fantastic. They sent lots of pictures and put our worried minds at ease. You can tell they really love animals. Highly recommend.”



“Wonderful environment, my dog comes homes happy and relaxed and Gregory takes very good care of her while we are away. Amazing to have an option where we don’t have to worry while we’re away!”


“We would absolutely leave our dog Lucy with Amber for a week again in the future. She treated our dog Lucy like she was her own. Lucy loved playing with Amber's girls and came home happy and tired. We got lots of pictures - playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch and even having a bath! Amber was very flexible with our relatively last minute reservation and a change in our pickup date. Overall great experience.”


“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”


“Abigail was amazing. She was able to make our anxious dog feel right at home. It was the first time we have left him and didn’t need to worry about him for one second. We will use Abigail for all of our future trips. She sent us pictures of them on walks and playing with other dogs. You could tell she really enjoyed having him while we were away.”


“Sara and her family were AMAZING!!! We have a 4 month old puppy and we were nervous about leaving him and, we had to leave him overnight. Sara took him into her home and not only loved him like it was her own but took him on so many walks, play activities and puppy training. She went far beyond my expectations, nearly to the point where I felt bad taking my puppy home as he was having so much fun! I am so grateful we found Sara!”


“Hobbit had a great time with Amanda! I could tell because when I picked him up, he clearly went to give her a thank you hug and a goodbye. He is happy and healthy and Amanda was great at providing updates and pictures of Hobbit. I will definitely book with her again!”


“Arlissa is the absolute best! Our dog always comes home so happy which was never the case with other sitters or boarders. She does an excellent job communicating, sending awesome videos and photos, and we always feel like our dog is in the best hands. Our dog is a bit anxious and temperamental and before sitters did not go well. Since finding Arlissa, we have never stressed about going out of town and leaving our dog as we know he will have a great time!”


“Thomas was wonderful with Emma! She felt very comfortable with him, and he made sure she got lots of play time and pets. I really appreciated the pictures and updates he provided, too. Emma will be excited to stay with him again!”


“Daphne has always been so lovely and reliable! She welcomed our dogs as a part of her own family and gives top-notch care and communication everytime we’ve used her. They know when we’re going to Daphne’s house now and get so excited everytime! A wonderful family that genuinely loves dogs, cannot recommend highly enough!”

“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”


“Katherine and her husband are such wonderful, dog-loving people! I was running out of time to find a pupsitter for three weeks for my special needs pup who wears a doggy diaper and needs his bladder expressed, which is daunting to most, even those who say they have special needs/senior dog experience. After a couple of people fell through, I reached out to Katherine and she immediately agreed to watch him. We did a meet and greet and I knew he would be in great hands! She is trained to care for his needs (worked or volunteered at a vet clinic growing up), sent me photos and videos, and I knew he was enjoying himself. She even agreed to my request to extend one additional night because I knew I was going to be tired after a long drive home. I picked Barkley up and he was chill and comfy like his usual self which makes me very happy. I will definitely request Katherine for overnights if we go out of town again!”
