“Holly is always happy to go and stay with Allesha I get a picture and video every day Holly stays with her. Allesha is a wonderful and amazing person and Holly loves being with her when I am away. Thank you again Allesha 🙂”


2. Pallavi K.

“I can’t rave enough about the care our dog Stella received. Pallavi and her husband provided tons of feedback, photos, videos of our dog while under their care. Our dog was well cared for and loved. Highly recommend”


3. Tara R.

“My doggy was so happy and comfortable with Tara— I don’t think he will want to leave! Tara provided me with constant pictures and updates throughout his stay. She even brought him to her social run club and out for coffee after! I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a Dogsitter and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
4. Joe & Madeleine G.

“We were really happy with Stella's overnighter with Joe and Madeleine! Stella is a rescue dog and has been skittish and nervous about a lot of things. We were a bit worried about how she would respond to being boarded for a night. Joe and Madeleine, along with their friendly dog and cat, put Stella right at ease. We are really grateful and hope to get help from Joe and Madeleine again when we take a vacation. Thank-you (and your wonderful dog & cat) so much!”


5. Jordan K.

“Jordan was AWESOME with Jack! Very good experience, kept us updated with pictures and did a great job keeping him busy. Highly recommended in the future.”




6. Alesia B.


“Star did a fantastic job looking after my elderly toy poodle for a week over the x-mas holidays. I really appreciated the daily pics and great communication. Will definitely book again next time I travel.”


7. Tammy C.

“Tammy is the absolute best sitter I’ve ever encountered on or off Rover. She sends pics and videos, communicates throughout the stay and has been a lifesaver when it comes to emergencies/short notice situations. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


8. Rafael C.

“Thank you for taking care of my dog and for sending me lots of pictures”


9. Beverly R.


“Beverly is wonderful. My return flight was cancelled so I was stuck in Los Angeles and couldn’t pick up my dog as scheduled. I messaged Beverly and she contacted Rover to modify the booking. She was able to keep my dog until I was back home. Thanks again Beverly.”


10. Theresa & Adrian B.

“Gus had a great stay in Detroit with Theresa and Adrian! They were super accommodating, sweet with Gus and very attentive and kept us informed all along. We would use them again in a flash but were only in Detroit for a wedding weekend. They are the best-we highly recommend!!”


11. Kayla E.

“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”


12. Queeny T.

“Great experience with Queeny. She gave our dog eye drops daily, took him for regular walks, and kept us informed with lots of pics and texts.”


13. Donna B.

“Donna is a wonderful caregiver. She truly enjoyed spending time with our Aussie. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Donna watch our dog again in the future.”


14. Stefania V.

“Stefania and her boyfriend were incredible sitters, and I mean that in earnest. They were able to offer overnight care for our dog after a last-minute cancellation, and they went above and beyond in making him feel part of their family. They're very active! They took our pup on multiple walks at dog parks and even hiking trails; after I picked him up, he had a bath and then fell right asleep. Happy dog, happy human.”


15. Vanessa C.

“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog. I can’t say how appreciative we are for the care and regular photos and notices of how he was doing. Not only was she amazing at her keeping us up to date , but whenever I would issue a correspondence she would respond back promptly which speaks volumes on her focus on providing excellent service. My rating is Top Notch. Thank you Vanessa”


16. Whitney & Samuel Y.

“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”


17. Erika Z.

“I recently boarded my dog, Marty, with Erika again for the 3rd time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Erika's genuine love for dogs and her professional approach made me feel completely at ease. Marty came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared-for. Highly recommend Erika for her exceptional dog boarding services! we will be back!”


18. Lia R.

“Lia took such amazing care of our dog and sent us lots of pictures, videos and updates! She made us feel very comfortable leaving her at Lias house for a few nights. Highly recommend!!”


19. Steven S.

“Nice guy. I was afraid to leave my little dog behind, but he fit right in and felt comfortable. Steven often sent pictures and videos, and that gave me peace of mind, too. Glad Jasper can feel at home when I have to go away.”
