“It was apparent Heather and her children took great care of my furbaby. I appreciate the communication during his stay. During the meet and greet, I knew Zeus would have a great stay! I will definitely book her again!”


“Lou was great!! I feel fortunate that I was able to have him care for my fur-baby. Lou knew what to do to make my dog comfortable and eat. Gordie (my dog) is very picky about eating but loves to sit with somebody on the couch and sleep in bed with them. Lou did all that with him to make Gordie feel better away from home.”

“Jason and his wife were exceptional with my puppy. I had constant updates and pictures. She was always with someone, having, fun, or sleeping. I know she was spoiled! They were also amazing at following her schedule and continuing her command training. I felt really good leaving my puppy with them for a week!”

“Ashleigh is great! Super responsive, accommodating, and sends lots of pictures! I try my best to book her the second I know I'm going out of town. She has a great big backyard and you can just tell she loves all the doggos.”

“Amazing they cared for my pitty as if i she were theirs. Very great communication the whole time. Definitely recommend and Definitely using her an her family.”

“Jennifer is great! This was my first time using rover and I was a little hesitant about using the app at first but after meeting Jennifer and having my dog spend the night this weekend I am much more confident in using the app. She sent me photos and videos of my dog throughout her stay and was flexible and easy to work with for scheduling. I plan on using Jennifer's boarding services in the future. If you have a big dog or a bully, she is definitely an experienced dog sitter to consider for daycare or boarding.”

“My pets felt right at home at Kayla’s house. She took very good care of my babies. She provided a big cat condo for my cat, she provided pictures of my pets. My pets loved being there and felt very comfortable with her. I recommend Kayla to watch your pets! I will bring my pets back to her.”

Thank you Marissa & husband for the fantastic work.”

“Lisa was wonderful! She kept me in the loop and I could tell Chassie was being cared for well with nice walks and a safe place to call home while we were away. We look forward to booking with her again!”

She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. It was clear my dog was in great hands and truly enjoyed the time with her. I highly recommend Yessica to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Rustlewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
I wholeheartedly rate Lori as the absolute best dog sitter in the area—and I don't say that lightly, having relied on many excellent ones over the years. When a sudden family emergency struck just days before Christmas, I called her with only two days' notice, needing to leave town almost immediately. I know it couldn't have been convenient or easy to accommodate me during the busy holiday season, but Lori stepped up without hesitation. She's simply one of those rare, good-hearted people who radiate compassion and a genuine love for dogs—qualities that shine through in everything she does.Lori truly became my savior, caring for my beloved Bo for over a week right through the holidays. And when I realized I'd underpacked his food—a frantic oversight on my part amid the chaos—she didn't skip a beat. Instead, she graciously went out and bought more, ensuring he was perfectly content and well-fed. I can't express enough how heroic she is for our community; her selflessness and reliability make her an invaluable gem.Even when my return was delayed by a funeral and severe weather, Lori extended her stay without a single complaint, handling it all with grace and understanding. People like her deserve a special place in heaven for the peace of mind they provide in our toughest moments. Throughout my difficult trip, what brought me the most comfort were the thoughtful photos she sent of Bo—he looked so safe, joyful, and utterly at home under her watchful care. Thank you, Lori, from the bottom of my heart; your kindness turned a stressful time into something bearable.If you're searching for the very best dog sitter who treats your furry family like her own, look no further than Lori. She's not just exceptional—she's irreplaceable. I am profoundly grateful and couldn't recommend her more highly!

JD and Magdalena were the best! This was the first time I’ve ever had to leave my dog for more than two days, and I had a lot of anxiety about it. Once I learned that JD was offering this service, I made the choice without hesitation, I know that he and Magdalena are to be trusted. My dog had a great time and I received daily updates with a photo, this made all the difference in the world. I will definitely be using again thank you so much!

We had an amazing experience with Jessica and Colin! They watched Lulu for three weeks and took such wonderful care of her. It was clear from the updates and photos that she was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a very happy pup! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter

Lindsey and Brady were fantastic! They were extremely communicative and kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos. We really appreciated that they invited us into their home at drop-off so we could see where our pup would be staying—it immediately put us at ease. Our boy was clearly very well cared for, and we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely be using Lindsey and Brady again moving forward!

Christian is the perfect Rover. Our Smokey dog was well taken care of and we came home to a spotless home after he house-sat. We received daily photos and videos, which was greatly appreciated! Our dog got more than ample play time and attention and we couldn’t have been happier with choosing Christian.

I had such a great experience with Angie. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and messages the whole time. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend and I have already booked her again! She’s the best!

These guys are wonderful! They shared details and pictures all throughout Millie's stay, and I appreciate that they tell you the good and the not-so-good details because it shows they are very trustworthy and truly care about your dog. We will definitely be reaching out again!

Luna had the best time at Denise and her sweet doggie Frankie’s home! She has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play and they are never left outside alone. She also makes sure the gates are locked for safety. Denise sent photos throughout the stay and kept in touch frequently. I can’t wait for Luna to return! Thank you Denise and Frankie

Kate was absolutely wonderful with our 9-year-old dog. She provided a safe, fun, and loving environment, and we could tell our dog felt right at home. We especially appreciated how she kept us constantly updated with pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our dog and treated her like her own. We highly recommend Kate and will definitely be booking with her again!

Valarie is amazing! She followed all my neurotic instructions, walked him daily, sent pics and updates and gave him all the love and treats he needed. I loved the meet and greet first and her communication was on point. I can't say enough great things about her and her accommodations for my precious Mo!. I will definitely use her again and give her my highest recommendation!
