“Shannon and her family are the best. Beau loves going there. He goes a smile on his face and is happy when we pick him up. I would highly recommend Shannon. Thank you.”

“This was our first time leaving Zoey with Emily. We were very pleased with the wonderful photos we received during our trip . Zoey was very well cared for while we were away. We will definitely use Emily’s service moving forward during our travels. I think Zoey was very happy there too?”
“John was very kind and accommodating through adjustments I had to make regarding my trip and my booking for dog sitting. And, he took such good care of my Tilly, updating me daily.”
“Marah is AWESOME! She takes such good care of my dog Mushu! He spent his first time being boarded with her and I felt confident that he would be okay in Marah’s care! I definitely plan on becoming one of her recurring clients!”
“Donna took such wonderful care of our babies while we were on vacation. I did not worry one minute about them because she let me know how they were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. Donna not only cared for their physical needs, but I also know that she showed them nurturing love by the sweet comments she made about them and their personality traits. We will certainly use Donna for future needs when it comes to carrying for our babies!”
“Such a wonderful service provided with timely updates including pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving the kitties with her. I will definitely use her service again if I need to board Emma and Walley.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“Our Golden, Eli, received, EXCELLENT care and attention ~ and Katie kept us updated daily, including photos, which kept us from worrying and assured us he was happy and doing well!!!”
“She's definitely easy to communicate with. Left my kitty cat with her last Thanksgiving and she welcomed with open arms. I'm sure my baby had fun with her. Thanks for having her!”
“McKenanne took great care of my dog and was good about communicating before and during my dog's stay. Her two dogs were very friendly which helped to make my dog more comfortable and happy.”
“Jack is a finicky pup -- that's the chow in him. However, when we picked him up he was happy and healthy -- thanks to Pam and their wonderful home. Definitely will book another stay. He's 9 years old, and it's good to know he is well cared for.”
“This was Tucker and Bailey's first visit. I was so pleased with the care they received while we were out of town. I received a couple updates that included pictures throughtout the week which was so nice. The kennel was large and seemed to have enough space for them which is helpful because they are kind of big dogs!”
“Penny and Evan took for care of our elderly dog and made our first experience on Rover pleasant! It was a bit confusing at first, but the meet and greet was wonderful and a good time to ask questions. We have booked them again for Christmas!”
“Shawn was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My pups were very comfortable and happy during their stay. I would choose Shawn every time to watch my pups, they had an amazing time! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs once while they were in Shawn’s care!”
“David was awesome with our very high energy, sometimes challenging, yet sweet Calvin. David sent us reports and pictures every day which made our trip that much more relaxing and put our minds at ease. We couldn't be more grateful to David and his excellent care of our boy while we were on the road. We recommend David 100% and hope to call on him again. Thank you, David!”
“Michele and her wonderful daughter took such good care of my little one. They sent pictures daily to show she was doing well and she was available for questions. It put me at ease knowing my sweet dog was safe and loved while I was away!”
“Sidney did an incredible job with my German Shepherd! She sent pictures and checked in regularly to put me at ease. If you’re in Roanoke, Sidney as your pet sitter is the best choice you can make!!”
Salem dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katelyn took wonderful care of our dog for 5 nights at her home. Even though our dog had some challenges settling in on the first day, she was very patient and found a way to work through it so he could feel comfortable and well cared for. She kept us updated the entire time and sent us pictures regularly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, supportive, and very attentive. Our dog was definitely happy, and we truly appreciate everything she did to make the experience go smoothly. Thank you so much, Katelyn! ❤️
We just used Rebecca for our first long trip since getting established with her. She experienced a death in the family while we were gone. She coordinated with our emergency contact to hand off care of our Beagle so she could attend the funeral, but I have no doubt that she would have missed the funeral rather than leave us in a bind while we were in Europe. Her exceptional care of LuLu is surpassed only by her personal integrity. Thank you, Rebecca, for your communication and dependability. We had confidence that you would handle this situation seamlessly, and you did.
Bailey was Amazing!!! We were worried about leaving our dog as he gets nervous when his routine is changed, especially overnight, but Bailey kept him calm and happy. He was very comfortable and looked quite at home when we picked him up which is the first time we ever saw him so chill. She sent regular updates and videos to assure us he was doing well the entire stay. I highly highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again!!! She is the best!!
