“Rebecca once again was a great sitter for my lab Link! She is very attentive to the dogs that she cares for and always keeps us updated. I can always rest assure that Link is in good hands when he's in her care. We will definitely being using her in the future! Thank you Rebecca!”
“Charity made our pup feel like he was right at home and part of the family. Communication was great. Will definitely be reaching out to her when we have another trip out of town.”
“Devon and her family were absolutely amazing - Daisy felt right at home and they took her on walks, gave her cuddles, and showed her so much love! Devon was great at following instructions and updating me with pictures. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my high-maintenance girlie.”
“Sarah was great! She was incredibly responsive from the start and made us feel at ease while we were away. She sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated, and took amazing care of our two dogs. It was clear they were in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again”
“Andria and her family are simply phenomenal rover sitters. Our dog has severe storm anxiety and we left during a very stormy week. They were incredibly accommodating to his needs including unfortunate GI issues. They treat him as their own and when we went to pick him up he didn’t want to come with us and preferred to stay on the stairs getting pet and loved by them. Absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking a home away from home for their pup.”
“I've had great experiences with Rover, but Toni was exceptional! Communication and flexibility was outstanding. I can tell my 2 dogs were well cared for and loved. I definitely recommend Toni !!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Janny and Tramyra were AMAZING! They kept our dogs, Sophie and Gabby super comfortable and made us feel even more comfortable with being away from them. They sent us lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing and what they were up too. They took the dogs out on lots of walks/hikes and even helped with teaching my big puppy how big she really is and appropriate play behavior. We were so happy with the care and attention they gave our babies. We will definitely be booking again!”
“We left our puppy with Maya for almost a week and it went amazing. We were nervous to leave him but she gave us daily updates and photos to keep our minds at ease, it was wonderful. Everything seemed to go great, she was very responsive and our puppy had a great time!”
“Stacy was fantastic with our dog! She sent pictures and let us know how he was getting along with everyone. We really appreciated that she was available last minute too. Thanks again!”
About: We have been around dogs our whole lives. Tony and I both have had dogs since we were kids. We now have 3, Togo, Sadie and Louie and they love meeting new friends. We have a fenced in yard so are able to let them out often. We also will take them on walks if they are able. We care for all of our pets by treating them like our human kids and loving on them! We will walk them and give treats if they are able.
“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“I completely echo the positive reviews from Dondee’s other happy pet parents! Wilson was so well-cared for and we received plenty of updates and cute pictures throughout his stay. He played so much with Dondee’s puppy, Rain, that he had too much fun to miss us. We returned home with a very happy (and tired) pup!”

Janny and Tramyra L. Watched our golden retriever Charlie and our border collie mix Esther for the week. They sent daily messages and texts with pictures. They took the dogs on a walk, to the dog park, and kept them well entertained the entire week. When we pick them up, they looked like they had been well exercised and we could tell they enjoyed their caregivers. We highly recommend Janny And Tramyra. for boarding or daycare.
Ashley was so accommodating by taking Piper with only 24 hr notice. Awesome communication and met us at the door as we walked up to her house at drop off. Piper was spoiled during the day with walks and lots of love. We were updated with pictures and videos during the day. Highly recommend Ashley and we will be contacting her when our next appointment is scheduled at Mayo Clinic.
Matt and Angela made my small nervous dogs feel so welcome, much better than the boarding experience last time I left home. Matt let them roam just like at home, cleaned up a puppy mess, and gave me awesome updates! I was also new to the Rover process and thought I had booked him last month but hadn’t, and he was flexible and understanding.
Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.
We left our puppy with Maya for almost a week and it went amazing. We were nervous to leave him but she gave us daily updates and photos to keep our minds at ease, it was wonderful. Everything seemed to go great, she was very responsive and our puppy had a great time!
Denielle was great to work with when coordinating Kona's stay. She was very responsive and organized. After meeting her and seeing the large fenced in backyard I knew Kona was in good hands. Highly recommend Denielle for boarding. Kona had fun playing with her two dogs.
The first overnight with this host family was a success; our two dogs were happy and comfortable in their surroundings, as evidenced by the frequent photos depicting walks and other activities, as well as their behavior when we arrived to pick them up. It’s such a a relief being able to schedule occasional time away and knowing our pups will be well cared for. Again, thank you very much!
Ashlee was so great with our two energetic dogs!! She kept us updated and did try different solutions to make sure our picky eater would eat her food! Loved the picture and videos she would send over as well. Most definitely would recommend Ashlee for future overnight stays :)
