“We had an exceptional experience boarding our 15 year old dog with Ellen and John for a two week stay. Due to his age, our dog is deaf and requires to go outside quite frequently. They were very accommodating to his individual needs. The communication was excellent. We received daily photo and text updates on how he was doing. Ellen and John were extremely attentive and our dog wad in great shape and good spirits when we picked him up. We felt at ease being away from him for a long trip. I would recommend Ellen and John to my friends and family.”


“Left my dog for two weeks. From the daily videos and photos that Yan was sending to me, it was clear that my dog was doing great. Will bring my dog back again next time I travel!”


“My little one had such a great experience with Polina. She was very kind and her family was welcoming. Throughout the stay, I was updated and sent photos. I will definitely work with her in future.”


“Christine and Matt were wonderful with Logan! He had a great stay and we were grateful for the regular updates and photos. Logan got along well with their 2 dogs, and was tired out when we picked him up after being away! They went above and beyond getting Logan to eat, and communicated with us well. We will absolutely use them again!”


“Teresa was very accommodating with a late booking and was wonderful with Wesley. I hate leaving my little guy but it's nice to know when he is in good care. Thank you Teresa!”


“We had a fantastic experience with our dog sitter Viviane this past weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden doodles, Brody and Wynston and they had a blast playing with her sweet dog, Scout. Communication was excellent—she kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pups and made sure they felt comfortable and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased and would absolutely trust her to watch them again!”


“Kristen took such wonderful care of our pup. He was able to play with Tommy and go on lots of walks and trips to the park. I am so grateful to have found Kristen to watch Atlas. She was communicative and understanding when we had to extend an extra day. I’m sure Atlas will be visiting again soon!”


“80% sure Chloe considers them her family now and would leave me for them in an instant. After a long nap though because she’s so tired and sleepy which is no easy feat with this energetic girl. I got so many photos and stories of my girl. I’m thrilled and will be sending her back”


“Echo had a great stay with Stacey. She provided updates throughout the day and gave me a good report when I went to pick him up. She has a huge backyard that I know Echo loved. We look forward to booking again with her in the future.”


“It was my first time leaving my girls with a non family member. Erix was extremely understanding and sent me updates and photos. Very easy to communicate with and loved my dogs.”


“Jocelyn ha been amazing! She is very responsive and keeps me informed all the way thru each pet- sitting experience with photos and texts throughout the day. She is so loving with my girl and always takes such good care of her! Highly recommend!!”


“Donna took such wonderful care of my dog, Zoey! She sent me pictures and videos daily which helped me not to miss her as much. Normally when I pick Zoey up after being away she literally crawls up my legs to get to me, but this time she was excited to see me but I could tell she loved being at Donna’s so much that she was going to miss it!”


“Sam was incredibly patient with Zena! Zena was triggered by the fireworks, Sam communicated everyday with me about helping Zena to regulate her emotions, she helped soothe her, provide Zena with the space she needed to calm down. I appreciate the picture and video and feed back on how to help Zena once we pick her up. Zena was well cared for, had her own clean room to roam in and a large hard to play in all this helped reduce my anxiety about leaving her. Over all Sam was knowledge about dog breeds and understands how to work with strong-willed shibas. Definitely recommend.”


“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”



“Georgianne was a wonderful sitter for my anxious lil pup! She sent photos regularly of Sadie Mae playing with her pup Penny and just lounging around. I will be using her again! :)”


“Irina did a very good job with our seventh month old max. She was very understanding when we showed up late due to his car sickness problems. She sent pictures and videos everyday. We were very happy to know that Max got some play time with her dogs and other rover visitors he loved that. He was even sad this morning looking for other dogs when we got home. She was very kind and understanding. She even left a thank you note and a cute note from max to his parents. We will drfinately be using her again if we go out Of town. Thank you irina and thank you for not having to have us lock him in a kennel boarding for a week. ”


“I was nervous using Rover for boarding and worried about leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know. Kelly was awesome! Her house is set up perfectly for dogs and my lab did fine. She has plenty of shade and doggie pools in the yard. She sent photos and was flexible with drop off and pick up times.”


“Awesome person with boarding my dog for the week. He had a great time. We got pictures or a video every day. I felt like he was safe with Karen, and that's my #1 priority for my dog.”


“We inquired about dog boarding on very short notice but Jaclyn was so open to accommodating us. She was so easy to arrange a meet and greet with our pup Josey and just made everything run smoothly from drop off to pickups she kept us up to date on our pup’s wellbeing while in her care and she was just so amenable. Would def use again as a dog sitter and highly recommend! Thank you Jaclyn!”
