1. Kathy K.
“Once again, Kathy and Graham took such good care of Tommy that when he came home after his 2 week vacation with them, although happy to be home, was still looking for them! It’s such a great feeling to know and trust that another person can and will take good care of your beloved pet. We would not hesitate to leave Tommy for any length of time with Kathy”
2. Ashya M.
“Ashya has a lovely home and a nice tieout out back. She sent pictures which we appreciated. She is friendly and enthusiastic and our dog had a great time. We will definitely use her again if we go out of town.”
3. Lydia & Kieran D.
“Wonderful sitters! Went above and beyond to make sure our diabetic pet was well taken care of, and they communicated throughout the sitting. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
4. Susan P.
“Susan took great care of our 5 month old poodle while my family was on vacation for a week. She provided frequent updates and pictures of our puppy getting daily exercise, resting, and playing with her dog Frank and her other furry houseguests. My kids loved seeing these updates! I think the time with Susan ended up being a great socialization opportunity for our puppy!”
5. Tara & Peter O.
“I think Duffie had a great time! He enjoys being one of the pack and Tara and Peter were good enough to send me some photos throughout his stay. I come to the Cleveland area once a year and I’ll definitely be boarding with them again.”
6. Danielle W.
“Second time leaving our pups with Danielle and couldn’t recommend more. Loved the daily updates with photos and knew our dogs had a great time and were in great hands.”
7. Takia B.
“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”
8. Linda P.
“Linda took a great care of our dog! She kept us updated and send plenty of pictures to make sure he is having fun and happy. Will use her service again!”
9. Colleen W.
“Colleen was a great match for our 8 month old Bernese! She was able to manage his puppy energy while having other dogs and sent daily updates while we were away! Would definitely trust Bogey to be with Colleen again ◡̈”
10. Anna C.
“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”
11. Susan M.
“When I saw the pictures of Susan and Kenny surrounded by all the fur babies, I knew they were special. Talking to them, meeting them, and having them sit with Peanut and CoCo proved they are. Think "Dog-Whispers." CoCo, my 10-month-old CavaPoo, is very much the Covid-puppy. She is still getting socialized with two and four-legged friends. After a bit of separation anxiety, she made new friends and had a great time from all accounts. I was very concerned about Peanut, my 12-year-old Chihuahua. She is very anxious around other dogs. She pretends to be fierce but is actually afraid after a bad encounter with another dog years ago. Susan and I spoke by phone before confirming their stay, and she eased any fear I had about leaving Peanut. Her knowledge and overall puppy wisdom were settling to my spirit. Susan and Kenny took excellent care of my two pups. They knew what each of them needed. They provided updates and pictures. I saw a picture with Peanut lying near another puppy, who was not CoCo, which spoke volumes. Susan provided me with helpful care information about my older pup when I picked up my girls. I can't recommend Susan and Kenny enough...only if they become too popular, they may not have room for future visits from Peanut and CoCo.”
12. Clara K.
“Clara is the best! My cat absolutely loves her and enjoys staying at hers. Clara is super responsive and considerate. I would definitely rebook and recommend her!”
13. Irina K.
“After touring a local pet resort chain and seeing the prison-like conditions, my husband and I just knew we needed to find an actual caregiver. New to Ohio, I stumbled upon Rover and found Irina to help us out. We were apprehensive about leaving our pup at first in a new environment, but Irina and her daughter were fabulous. I got reassuring texts and photos throughout our stay that let us know Rizzo was having a grand time without us and that she was fitting in and meeting new buddies. Now we know we can go on vacations again!”
14. Sheran Nipun R.
“Honey was super happy upon being picked up and Sheran was waiting outside for us to have her picked up as well. He also let us pick her up later in the day which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend to anybody who's dog gets along with other dogs and is ready for a pup-tastic experience!”
15. Elandra W.
“Elandra she’s really amazing!!!!! My cat so happy and comfortable living with her . Elandra keeps update the photo and videos of my cat that make me such a relief . Elandra she is the best cat sitter ever!”
16. Lori M.
“We were so nervous leaving our senior dog Boo for an entire week, but we absolutely lucked out finding Lori on Rover. She and her husband took such great care of our little guy. They sent lots of pictures and updated us throughout the week. Your dog will be in great hands with them!”
17. Nechama S.
“Had my 2 pups (Husky 7yr and German Shepard 5yr) stay with Nechama for 9 days. She took excellent care of my babies while I was on vacation! She provided them with daily walks and lots of treats!! Would definitely book with her again!”
18. Natalia B.
“I felt very at ease leaving my dog with Natalia. She gave me daily updates and pictures and I felt as though her family treated Lola as their own. I did not have to worry at all about Lola while I was away. Thank you Natalia!”
19. Paige V.
“Paige is always honest, kind, funny and above all loves animals. She is great with our boxer River and even loves our turtle Chomper. You will not be disappointed with how well Paige treats your pet.”
20. Kaitlynn M.
“Hands down, Kaitlynn has been my favorite Rover Sitter thus far! I have been using Rover for a few years now between my previous dog and my current dog and felt very comfortable with Kaitlynn caring for Luna. She kept me very well updated throughout the stay and even worked with Luna to become better acquainted with other dogs as she knew this is something I was working on with Luna. I highly recommend Kaitlynn and plan to have her care for Luna again”
