“Donnie is very professional and took great care of my two spoiled fur babies while I was at my real baby’s wedding. We booked less than a week before and he was able to accommodate us. The dogs seemed happy and were well cared for.”

“Mercis took care of our pet Ori for a couple days and she did an amazing job. She was very enthusiastic and updated us with pics and vids regularly, played and even trained Ori at times. I could tell that Ori had a great time with her as well. I highly recommend Mercis.”

“A true gem. I've struggled all day to think of an adequate way to thank Ann that serves her justice. I scrolled through Rover for hours, searching for the perfect person that was willing, able, and trust worthy to house my beautiful shepherd. I read just a few reviews about Ann before immediately messaging her asking for a meet and greet. She was extremely accommodating and flexible with picking a place and time to meet, and actually met me with only 20 minutes notice. Within a few minutes of watching her and my dog Cleo interact, I knew she was far more knowledgeable about shepherds than I'll ever be, and that Cleo would be in great hands! She asked pertinent questions, we discussed everything my "queen" needs/gets, and she agreed to take her, during Christmas time at that. Ann let us walk through her house, while Cleo sniffed around, so we could see where she would sleep, eat, and play. Due to an extremely early flight, we asked to bring her the night before, and again, Ann was more than flexible with us . Beginning that first night, Ann sent messages and photos, letting us know our girl was settling in just fine, which put us at ease. The day we left the country, Ann immediately informed me that Cleo was sick, what was going on, that she had gathered a wonderful poop sample and that she'd made an appointment with the vet the next day. Ann was simply graceful and amazing at messaging me and telling me all the details, plan of care, treatment, etc., all while taking care of this new dog, giving her medicine, nursing her back to health and reassuring me! She sent pictures and videos of Cleo which made us so happy to see how she was doing. Photos and videos showed just how well Cleo was adapting to life with Ann and her husband! It was very evident Cleo was content with them, whether walking, laying on the couch snuggling, or playing on the floor! I honestly feel like they will become a second home for her any time we need her watched. She came home happy, healthier, and had gained a few pounds back that she'd lost before due to illness. I truly can't thank her enough. She's worth far more than she asks, and the queen will be returning!! We will never search for a new sitter again. Thank you so, so much for everything!”


“Faith was phenomenal to work with. Our dog is out baby and we are very picky who we leave him with. He was constantly smiling his whole visit with Faith. She sent pictures regularly and let us know how great he was doing. I felt so reassured knowing he was happy and in such good hands. She's also easy and quick to get in touch with. Thank you Faith abs family for giving Parker a fun vacation of his own while we were away. He will certainly be back :)”


“We are so grateful to have found Julia in our hometown! She was a fantastic sitter for our Samoyed and treated him like one of her own kiddos. She was a great communicator and provided multiple pictures and updates each day which we greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!”

“Mikayla and Alen were amazing and so accommodating. Our pup enjoyed a fun weekend with them. They were very flexible about pick up and drop off and they sent frequent updates. You won’t regret using them for your dog sitting needs! We will definitely be back.”

“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”

“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”


“I always feel good and safe leaving Alex with Damaris because I know how particular she always is. Damaris communicates with us on a daily basis and will let us know of any minor changes with Alex which I really appreciate- thank you Damaris for making us feel good about leaving Alex with you anytime”

“Salish was great with Gus and spent the time making sure he felt at ease. She was also very responsive and addressed any of our concerns. We felt good that our baby was in good hands. Gus will definitely be back visiting Salish! Thanks Salish!”

“Karen was great with our dog, Bolton! She made him feel at home with her dogs and other dog in her care. We appreciate her kindness in helping Bolton to acclimate, as he can sometimes be nervous when going to new places. We're excited for Bolton to visit Karen again soon!”

“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”

“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”

“Gabriel is excellent. My Leo is a Maltese, and Gabriel was very attentive to him. Gabriel kept me updated with photos and videos throughout Leo's stay. Furthermore, Gabriel was very reliable in responding to my texts, which gave me peace of mind. I recommend Gabriel 100%, and I would definitely book with him again.”

“I can't say enough good things about Lucille! She took amazing care of our little guy, sending thoughtful updates and photos throughout our time away. She was attentive to his needs, followed his routine perfectly, and clearly showered him with love and attention. Our dog came home happy and well-cared for. I would HIGHLY recommend Lucille to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”

Salem dog parents share their Rover experiences
As always, Mikayla and Allen took wonderful care of our little girl, Ella. They are extremely conscientious and take their dog sitting responsibilities very seriously, and we always feel that Ella is in the best of care when she stays there. They also send us photos during her stays and she is obviously very happy there. We have left Ella there several times, and I would highly recommend them.

Nicole and her family provided exceptional care for our senior Golden, Mina! They were so thoughtful—even setting up rug "runways" on their floors to help Mina's mobility. Between the outdoor playtime, the constant snuggles from Nicole’s daughters, and the regular photo updates, we knew Mina was in the best hands. Even their dog Jack became a fast friend. If you want peace of mind and a family that treats your dog like their own, look no further!

Camila and Michael took excellent care of Kalei - she was happy and content when I picked her up. She has a slightly complicated feeding routine that they administered, so I appreciate the effort put in to keep her healthy. They sent photos and videos of her playing, snuggling, and sniffing on her walks, so I got a good overview of her time away. She even made friends with their cat, which was unexpected. I felt comfortable with the care they provided for her and would recommend!
