“This is our second time using Allison and she has been an excellent caregiver for our almost 14 year old poodle mix. Allison communicates in a timely manner and send plenty of photos during the stay. She treats her like we do at home and will allow our dog to snuggle with her or her son in bed. Our dog loves human loving and Allison provides that. Allison’s prices are very reasonable and we would recommend her highly.”

“Karen took care of our little Yorkie…and did a superb job. Karen went above and beyond by taking her on walks and giving her special treatment. Karen would keep us updated daily and would send photos to show how she was doing. We definitely would use Karen again if needed.”

“We love Tamara and her home! She is set up and prepared to host about any pup and she can figure out quickly a dynamic and what everyone needs, which I appreciate because my male Frenchie can be a handful. He was a return guest, but it was the first time for my old lady pup and she did way better than expected. All around excellent experience, as usual!”

“We were very impressed with Esther from day one. Our Chihuahua/Terrier mix named London had such a wonderful time. London was able to interact with the other dogs and gain the interaction she does not receive on a daily basis. It truly felt like a doggy daycare in a warm, home setting. We have booked future dates and look forward to working with Esther more in the near future.”
“Jenny was an excellent sitter for our Jaxson for a last minute family trip! She sent pictures and updates and was very pleasant to communicate with. I will definitely use Jenny again!!!”

“This was Chief’s first boarding and is an only dog. Chief had a great time all week We were sent regular pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely use her again.”

“Laura is AMAZING! This is t first time I leave my girl Camila with someone other than my family and felt super comfortable leaving her with Laura! I was looking for someone that works from home as Camila is not used to being alone, and I made the perfect choice as Laura and her husband Matt work from home! She is so professional, sends tons of updates, super communicative and flexible with pick ups and drop offs! Camila tends to seek a lot of attention from humans instead of dogs and I could see in all the pics she was getting bunch of cuddles and love! Laura followed all the instructions I provided for Camila, she does cares for the dogs. I totally recommend Laura as they always have someone at home 24/7.. Laura and her husband Matt are the best! If you are looking for a 5 star stay for your dog, Laura is the perfect sitter to go to! I will definitely use her again! Thank you for everything!”
“Sarah took great care of my pup. I would trust her anytime to care for her again. She updated me with pictures and re assured me that she was doing just fine. Mu dog even got spoiled with daily walks! If your thinking about considering Sarah to care for your pup, I promise your pup is in good hands.”


“Ms. Rita is a wonderful host for our Huxley. She always send updates and Huxley is always happy and healthy when we return to pick him up. Ms. Rita will see Huxley again in the near future!”

“Rocio and her family were absolutely amazing! We just moved here, and was so nervous to leave Pam with someone new. Rocio quickly dissolved those nerves, she is super sweet and really loved Pam like her own. She sent all the updates and I really appreciate that so much. I will definitely use her again the next time we travel. Thank you Rocio!”


“Patti is a wonderful, caring doggie sitter! I could tell Knox was right at home with her from the get go. She sent lots of photos during the weekend to let us know how Knox was doing, and of course, those pictures made my day. Patti always replied to questions right away and was super easy to talk to. She even had a doggie goodie bag and report card waiting when I picked him up :). Overall, a perfect first Rover experience. I would highly recommend her as your next rover sitter. Both Knox and I hope to have her dog sit again! Thank you Patti from the Liu's!”

“I was extremely nervous about leaving my senior dog and senior cat, but John was really kind the entire time. I got loads of pictures and some videos. I could genuinely see that they were doing just fine and I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. He has a star sitter distinction for a reason and I am very, very grateful to him for taking care of my loves like he did. I love them so, so much and he gets it.”

“AMAZING!! Stayed in communication daily! Took great care of Milo! Gave tips, sent pictures daily, and spoiled him rotten! Highly recommend! Will continue to to use!”

“Elisabeth and Gerald always provide a safe and fun home for our dogs… they sent lots of updates and photos/videos. We were at ease the whole time we were away! Thank you!!”

“Janelle did a wonderful job caring for my Tommy. When my daughter dropped him off, she was pleasantly surprised by how many thoughtful questions Janelle asked to learn more about him. It was clear she wanted to make sure Tommy felt comfortable and didn’t miss home. I really appreciated the updates and photos—though I would have loved even more pictures, I always felt reassured knowing Tommy was in such good hands.”

“I left my 6 month old Pomchi “Pumpkin” with Lili for 2 days. Lili was very polite and welcoming. She has a clean home and a large, safe backyard. She kept me updated with Pumpkin, with videos and charts on how he was doing. We are grateful that Lili took care of Pumpkin for us.”

“This was our second time booking Jackie and Jorge, and once again, we couldn’t be happier! Brody absolutely adores them, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s in safe, loving hands while we’re away. They always keep us updated with pictures, and I love how at home Brody feels with them 💖 Thank you so much. Highly recommend! 😊”

“Hui was amazing and i’m so grateful for her. She was super great about sending us pictures and updates everyday and i could immediately tell that my cat Misubi was well loved and cared for. 10/10 would recommend!”


“Tambre is very nice! She sent me photos of Gunner letting me know he's doing good. We are definitely going to have Gunner there again soon! Thank you so much! You made one nervous mom comfortable!”


“This is our second stay with Madeleine and Charlie. Our 2 Chihuahuas Were VERY well taken care of and loved by Charlie and Madeleine in our absence. I couldn't imagine taking our babies any where else but here. The short videos and pictures we received were great, knowing our dogs were happy made our time away much more enjoyable. This is a true animal loving home and it shows! Thank you both and we will see you the next time we may need to get away.”

Shady Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Juliana was amazing with my Winter Joy and she kept me up to date consistently with photos and videos. She loved on my little baby, made sure she had multiple potty breaks and her dogs were amazing with Winter Joy and her personality. I’m so grateful for her care. ♥️

Jessica was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Caleb. This was her second time caring for him, and once again she exceeded our expectations. She is friendly, energetic, and genuinely kind, and it shows in how comfortable and happy Caleb is with her. She made sure he had his potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of care and attention while we were away. We have complete peace of mind knowing Caleb is in such good hands with Jessica, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.

Jazmine was fantastic! She took such amazing care of our two little pups! She sent plenty of photos, and I was able to tell how happy, comfortable they were in her care. Our puppy (6months old) even had an accident in her crate and Jazmine replaced her towel (that she sleeps on) with one of her own! We will definitely use Jazmine again!

Jocelyn was absolutely wonderful with our pug! She sent daily pictures and updates of how he was doing so we could vacation without worry. Our pug really loved his visit and we loved how easy she was to communicate with to arrange a pick up and drop off would absolutely book again!
