“This was my first time leaving my pup with someone other than my family, and Sky made it a great first experience. The daily videos relieved any anxiety that I had. I would highly recommend Sky's services; I couldn't have been happier.”
“Lia was responsive and sent detailed updates throughout each day. Lia was also very flexible with some last minute changes I needed to make to the booking. Foxy had a great time staying with her!”
“As always my dog had a great time with Beth and Bastien! She is always excited when she gets there and is always happy when I pick her up! Highly recommend.”
“Cynthia was a fantastic sitter, she took great care of my dog and was flexible when some unexpected complications came up on my end. Would absolutely book again!”
“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”
“Abigail took great care of our aging fur baby. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. We definitely plan to reach out to her for future dogsitting!”
“Erika was wonderful - I highly recommend her with your furry members of the family. The little guys were happy and well cared for, one even looked like he was thinking about staying with her when we showed up!”
“Brianne was great with my dog. She was conscientious and communicative, and I appreciated her location and timing flexibility when our flight was delayed. Would definitely book again.”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“Bojana and family were the best pet sitters! We were able to travel with utmost confidence that our four year old mini bernedoodle was in great hands and being showered with attention and fun. I’m so grateful to have found such incredible pet sitters. Communication was top notch - regular updates put me at ease. Thank you!”
“Roshni was such a great first boarding experience for my 4.5 month old puppy, Milo! She was clearly very experienced, took him regularly to the park to tire him out and so he could play with other dogs, and sent me daily updates on how he was doing. I felt super comfortable with her from when we first met, and she was very flexible when my first flight was canceled and I had to pick him up later than planned. It was a wonderful Rover experience and I will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much Roshni :))”
“Nico was a great sitter! He kept me updated throughout my dogs stay and I could tell from pictures he was having a great time! He was extremely friendly and professional, responded promptly to any messages, and treated my dog as one of his own. Would gladly rebook with Nico again in the future!”
“Stephanie was such a great host to my dog Bruno, she maintained communication/updates throughout the visit and was very attentive to my instructions for Bruno given he has a hard time adjusting to new places. Would definitely book with them again! -Lindsay”
“Amanda and Max were lovely to coordinate with and provided great care for my dog! He received lots of love and attention and everything went super smoothly from booking to pickup and drop off! Would recommend and use again :)”
“Highly recommend Frida! Her and her partner have a sweet dog that was a great match for our 1.5 year old goldendoodle. They sent thoughtful updates that put our minds at ease, and we came home to a sleepy pup after a weekend away. Will definitely be reaching out again for care in the future!”
“Aleyna was amazing! She was so accommodating to Geronimoe’s needs & made sure she was comfortable during her stay. She sent photos and videos throughout the day, which gave me reassurance my baby was in good hands. Aleyna provided updates every step of the way and was easy to stay in contact with. I will be booking with her again! She’s the best!”
“Stephanie was a great home away from home for my pup, and made sure to check-in regularly with updates on how he was doing while I was away. If you want piece of mind that your furry friend is well loved and entertained, you should consider Stephanie & Shawn.”
“Sabrina, thank you so much for taking care of Milo last week!! I really appreciated the daily updates & taking Milo to the dog park (especially on the last day since he’s a high-energy pup). Thanks for keeping me at ease.”
Shaw dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jenna sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout 5 days of overnight boarding. I knew my Kennedy was happy and comfortable. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and I needed a late pickup. Great experience and communication - would highly recommend!
Christina was Great! Our little Morkie was in good hands when she started dragging and not eating; Christina was right on it - called me and immediately contact an emergency vet (it was on the weekend). The situation passed without incident. Too, Christina is a cogent communicator; the comms were just right - not too little nor too much. Very Highly Recommended!
Vanessa was the absolute sweetest with my precious little Golden and really understood all of his needs and his personality and took such amazing care of him! We did a meet and greet and immediately felt comfortable and safe leaving him in her care and I never had to worry. We love Vanessa!!
Kimi was great! We booked her last minute and she was super flexible, kind, and responsive. Our Smokey got lots of outside time and looked to be having a great time in the pictures Kimi shared. I truly appreciate her updates and will rebook in the future. Thanks, Kimi!
