“Katherine was fantastic! She was extremely helpful and responsive during the booking and after. She took really good care of our goldendoodle, sending us pictures and videos. She has an amazing place with open space and dogs of her own. Our dog just came home and slept the entire day because he was so tired from all the fun. I highly recommend her!”
“Tiffany was wonderful to my dog Tucker. He really appeared to enjoy his stay with her and her dog Penny. Tiffany's response time was so quick and the daily updates / pictures were wonderful. I really felt Tucker was in good hands. Thank you!”
“We could not be happier when leaving our furry family member with Kim, when we need to go away. She is the best sitter we have ever had. Stormy is always so excited to see Kim and that always makes us happy too! Kim is her Mommy away from home for sure and Kim treats all the animals she keeps as one of her own. I would HIGHLY recommend Kim to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry family member, you can bet they will receive all the love and care you give them when they are with her. Thanks again Kim so loving our Stormy as we do!”
“Rebecca and her husband were fantastic! I have a 7r old female Labrador retriever that is quite anxious and easily panicked. I had her shipped up to Pennsylvania from Texas when i had to move and i needed a place for her to stay while I was out of town. From the moment I booked with them, they were in constant contact and reassurance of her well-being. She stayed with them for about a weeks worth of boarding. I had constant updates through photos and videos multiple times daily. They were both so kind and live in a great neighborhood. They did everything they could to accommodate her to the best of their ability, even went as far as giving her chicken when she wouldn’t eat her food! These folks are a gem in the dog boarding community, and you would be lucky to book with them! They really love and care for animals and treat your pet as if it were their own! I will be using them again anytime I need a sitter for my dog Maddie!”
“Thank goodness for Emily!!! We had a family emergency and she helped immensely. We also had to keep extending our dog’s stay with her day by day. Being able to focus on my daughter’s health knowing that my pup was okay was very comforting. I cannot recommend Emily enough! Thank you!!”
“Anacelia and family took great care of our two Boston terrier girls. She provided us with updates, and gave them lots of love and attention. Thank you for taking great care of our girls!”
“I am thrilled to have met Kaitlyn!! Kaitlyn took excellent care of my 2 fur babies. She understood the personality of each one, which is very different, and gave them the best care and love. She kept in touch with me and sent me pictures and updates about how they were doing. Needless to say they were happy and loved by her! I am hoping to see her again this summer!”
“Awesome sitter, would recommend her to watch any dog. Hopefully she would be willing to watch my Bray again. I had clear, consistent, and prompt responses and even photos. Crimean truly is an awesome sitter and animal lover.”
“Matthew and his wife went above and beyond! They sent a ton of photos and videos. They took my dog swim and on a trail walk and played for a ton of time outside. They even gave him a bath before pick up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Very happy with the excellent care that Coco received with Marla! We received photo and text updates throughout the weekend. Coco came home happy and had a good experience overall. Highly recommend Marla! Will be booking with her again. Thank you!”
“Melinda was awesome! Her dogs are super sweet and she made our Charlie feel right at home, her and her family are great and were wonderful with our Charlie would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again when we are back in town.”
“Johanny was so nice & welcomed me into her beautiful home. Was definitely a pleasure to meet her and to take good care of my little Coco. She sent me pictures & updates on how Coco was doing. I recommend her to anyone looking for a good dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need to.”
“I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer and Jason after spending an hours visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?”
“Kristie was fantastic! She watched a foster dog of mine that was still decompressing and a bit anxious, so I didn’t want her around other dogs. It is so hard to find dog sitters that don’t have another dog or watch multiple dogs at the same time. Kristie not only provide a safe and calm sanctuary for my foster, but she showered her with love, affection and lots of outdoor hikes. Knowing my foster was with Kristie allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Donna was a wonderful dog sitter for my pups. I recently moved to the area and had to trust someone new with the care of my dogs while I went away. We did a meet and greet first and right off the bat I could tell Donna was passionate about dog sitting. Her home and yard were super dog friendly with well thought out details. While I was away she provided multiple updates, pictures, and videos of my dogs during their stay. At least once a day I would get a little blurb about their day and a fun picture or video. My dogs had a blast with Donna and were both so comfortable with her. She even let them cuddle right up to her for snuggles! I was able to relax on my vacation because I knew my dogs were in great hands. I will absolutely be using Donna again in the future!”
“It was great to bring my dogs over before the day of my trip so they would be familiar with their vacation spot for the weekend. We are already planning another booking soon. Pictures and nicknames included.”
“Thank you Patricia for taking such great care of my girl. I loved the frequent updates and loved that my girl got to go on daily walks. What I am most happy about is that she did not return home sick….99% of the time she would return home sick after boarding at a sitter. This is a first. You were very attentive and took great care of my girl. Thank you… Until next time!”

Shelly dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Samyou and her family! She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates, pictures and videos. I could see that Lilah was relaxed and having fun. Samyou followed instructions for feeding and visits outside. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that she was being well taken care of. Thank you, Samyou and family, you have my highest recommendation.
Paulina watched my two dogs for two nights. Everything went very smoothly, from drop off to pick up. She gave them tons of attention and they had plenty of exercise playing with her 3 dogs! I got to enjoy many photos and videos as updates from the day and night. My dogs were all smiles!
