“Kassandra saved our trip! She watched our boys for the holiday so we could travel last minute! I'm very thankful she was available and took great care of our fur babies!”

“Christina is THE BEST!! Charlie loves her so much and I don’t have to worry when I’m out of town and Charlie is with her. She sends me pics and updates often. It really makes my heart happy that Charlie can stay with someone who’s so thoughtful and caring when we have to be away from her. ❤️”

“Laura was amazing! Kept us informed through the weekend and sent pictures of our fur babies. Our dogs were very comfortable with her. We look forward to having her sit for us in the future. Glad to find a trustworthy sitter!”

“Kim was amazing!!! I was totally comfortable leaving my dogs with her. It was obvious that my dogs had been treated like queens the entire time. Kim sent me frequent updates, including pictures! Best experience. :)”

“Jane was absolutely fantastic, we are pretty sure our two dogs didn’t want to come home since they were so content with her! She sent regular updates and was so accommodating with our drop off and pick up. We can’t wait to use her for future doggy care needs.”

“I really enjoyed meeting Sandra and she was so caring and loving to our fur babies. She kept me updated with pics and texts. I am new to Rover and wished I had met her sooner as we are moving out of State. Thank you Sandra for taking great care of Sage and Sequoia ? ?”

“Summer did a great job with the my dogs. She has cats and dogs of her own and my dogs were so interested in their new friends that they almost didn't notice me leaving. I'll definitely use her again!”

“Bianca is my go to to watch my pup. Bianca and her family spoil my dog and give her love all the time. They have been a blessing as a resource. She will provide excellent care to your dog or cat!!”

“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”

“Duke was well cared for during his stay with Haley. I appreciated the communication and updates. Duke seemed to feel at home right away and enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs for the weekend. He was wagging his tail and smiling when I showed up to pick him up. I would definitely recommend.”

Russell dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter and it could not have gone better. Jane was excellent and sent me daily updates and photos. I had always used the bougie dog boarding places previously and my puppers would always come home stressed. This time, with Jane, it was completely different. They were stress free and relaxed. I would absolutely request dog sitting from Jane again. Thanks so much!!
