“Thank you so much Yuiko for such wonderful care of our puppy! She was anxious and worried but you got her calm and settled in! She felt right at home and that gave us peace of mind to be away and relaxed ☺️. The many wonderful pictures you sent were such a nice surprise to show off to everyone around us. Thank you again!!”


“Rover has delivered positive sittings for sure, but this one really felt like the perfect experience. It's important that we leave our dog with someone who is pet experienced, and has the right amount of time & a safe setup. But in this case, not only is the house nice/roomy with a large backyard, but also it authentically feels like Jennifer and her daughter & husband are enjoying the experience as well. I feel like dogs respond to genuine affection, and that makes all the difference for us. Jennifer took pictures of her husband comforting Moose, and gave us stories about her daughter sleeping with him in her arms. This makes us want to give him this delightful experience everytime we are forced to travel without him, if possible. Tonight he is sleeping like a baby ever since we got home, likely because of the exciting time that he has had in the last few days Thank you Jennifer for keeping him so entertained while we were gone!”


“We had a great experience with Stephanie! She took great care of our dog for a full week, and we couldn’t be happier with how things went. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with a good number of pictures, which really helped put our minds at ease. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for in every photo. Highly recommend and have already booked again!”


“Victoria and Chris took such good care of our Poppy girl for an extended overnight trip. She got along great with their dog Loki too! They were super helpful especially since this was our first time using Rover and leaving Poppy with non family members. I felt Poppy was in great hands and was able to relax while out of town. I highly recommend Victoria and Chris and if we ever need someone to care for Poppy while we’re away they will be our first choice.”


“This was the first time Tucker stayed with Ashley & Sam. Tucker is always nervous in a new situation In the past Tucker has come home from boarding very anxious and keyed up. When we picked him up he was very calm and mellow. Drop off and pick up were very easy. Overall it was a great experience.”


“Danielle and Wade are the best! They’re sat two of our dogs. Our current dog, Freddy, loves playing with their dog Marn. They take excellent care of those in their charge. The dogs always have fun with them!”


“Mary was WONDERFUL. I left my dog with her for 12 days, the longest I have ever been away from my dog. I had nothing to be nervous about as Mary kept me in the loop the whole time I was away. She was great at providing physical activity with my dog which is a huge part of her well being! They have a lot of yard space outside which is great for running around and made me feel comfortable! She was professional and timely with answering any of my questions about my dog. Was receptive to any special requests I had made for my dog as well which was great! I would 100% book with her again if I am going away! Also she sends photo updates which I LOVED!”


“This was our first time using Rover. We had a great experience with Kate and Eric. They sent us pictures daily of our dog Willie. It reassured us that he was fine. We will definitely love to have Willie stay with them again.”


“David was wonderful!! We never boarded our dog / used rover before. David was very responsive & accommodating throughout our experience. He has a beautiful home and it seems like our older dog enjoyed his time there :). We are so lucky to have found David - thank you!”


“I can’t recommend Erica as a dog sitter highly enough! She took amazing care of our dog, Lacie, while we were away. From our first meeting, it was clear that Erica is a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know Lacie's personality and needs, making sure to create a comfortable and fun environment. Throughout the stay, Erica kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Lacie returned home happy and well-exercised, clearly having enjoyed her time with Erica. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she and her family provided. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, Erica is the perfect choice!”


“Karen took excellent care of Bentley, he can be very anxious when left alone but happy that Karen was able to make him feel right at home. Happy to have him over again!”


“Ulku & Andrew are wonderful. Their home and yard are very pet friendly. They care for your pet. We will definitely continue to have them watch Zuzu for us.”


“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”


“Jessica and Thomas were great sitters to Simon! They sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Simon seemed to settle in and warm up to Thomas pretty quickly despite being weary around men initially. I’d definitely feel comfortable having them sit Simon again!”


“I can’t begin to say enough great things about Donte. He handled my pups with great care and made them feel at home for the entire trip. I highly recommend and will book again”


“Danna boarded by dog overnight while I was out of town. It was my first time being away from him and I was very nervous but Danna was willing to do a meet-and-greet whichever helped ease my worries. She was very capable and caring with my furbaby and flexible with me on the schedule. I will definitely use her services in the future.”



“Our dog is super shy and anxious about just about everything. Nicole and her husband were amazing. We had lots of messages and photos (Maple even helped with their Ikea furniture one day, smart dog!) She wasn't drinking enough water and they made sure she stayed hydrated by giving her stock and even using a syringe for a day or so to help. When I picked her up she was super excited to see me, but (and this is HUGE) she kept going back to them for scratches and to say hello. This never happens even to people that Maple knows well. She had a great stay and we will definitely go back again! Thanks!!”


“Cece took fabulous care of our dog. She sent many photos, all of which showed him exercising and overall comfortable in his new environment. Plus, she was flexible with changes to our schedule. I plan on using her again!”


“Noah is the world’s nicest dog sitter!!! Seriously so glad I found him. My dog Brunswick obviously had a great time at Noah’s while I was away, and made friends with Noah’s very sweet pup Ginsy. We’ll definitely be using Noah regularly if he’ll have us!”


“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”
