“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our puppy Koda was staying away from home for the first time, and Novelette took amazing care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Koda had a blast and came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“My dog, Ollie, just spent a week with Sandy and I cannot say enough about how great she was. I hadn’t ever left him with anyone other than family and from the first minute I met Sandy during our meet and great, she put me right at ease. She was communicative and caring and he clearly had a great time. I would (and will!) rebook her in a heartbeat!”
“First time using Rover and had a great experience with Keith & Ashley. Had last minute travel plans come up and they were very accommodating and kept me updated and in the loop all weekend. My dog is anxious and has some separation anxiety and they made him feel right at home.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”
“Mary was wonderful! She was super communicative and sent photos of our dogs throughout the time that we were gone. They went on lots of walks we knew our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda and her family took care of Butters very well. the family is welcoming and caring. Butters had a wonderful time. definitely recommend. Thank you so much for taking care of Butters.”
“Took care of my cat while my apartment was being chemically treated! Sent frequent pictures and updates and was a great sitter. Followed instructions and kept him fed and happy.”
“Karen was great! She sent a lot of pictures where you could see Teddy was having a good time playing with other little dogs and napping on sofas. Given how cold it gets in the winter, it was also great that he could use the fenced yard area right outside the door to quickly do his business. Very convenient. All in all great experience for Teddy and piece of mind for me!”
“Allison clearly loves dogs and looks after all of them with great love and joy! She provided my two dogs a safe home away from home for 5 nights. She gave Ruby her medicine and made sure all their needs were met. She is excellent and we will be back!”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”
“Hannah was great! Walter had the best time playing with Wolf and even got to go on a trip to play with other dogs! The big fences in back yard was amazing and I loved getting pics of him throughout.”
“I am so grateful we found Kristin :) Second visit for our golden, Sunny. While we were away Kristin sent pictures so we could see Sunny was so happy -- hiking, playing, and just snuggling...that just put us so much at ease. Sunny also comes home cleaner than when we left her which is no easy task! :) I think we have to leave Sunny with Kristin and Kaia more often because she clearly misses them when she comes home! Thank you for everything, Kristin (and Kaia!)”
“Elliott took excellent care of my golden retriever. He responded promptly to all communications, sent me regular updates and photos, and even let her sleep on his bed! He was kind and understanding when I had to shorten my dogs’ stay due to a family emergency.”
“Jannylza was absolutely perfect! Took such good care of my dog and followed all instructions exactly. My pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Communication was great too, I got plenty of updates and photos which made me feel so at ease. Would definitely book again!”
“This was a last minute trip and we needed someone to watch our baby. Shanagay was willing and open and ziva took to her right away. She was sweet and sent pictures and my dog loved her! We will absolutely use her again .”
“My 4 year old rescue Oscar is a very nervous pup. He is a mamas boy to the core. Had to leave him in CT to travel to FL for my sisters wedding. Orignally was planning to kennel him until I heard about Rover. Steve had over 100 return customers so we scheduled an interview. His home was comfortable and he allows full access to the dogs. We received pictures of Oscar daily and he made himself right at home lol. As long as Steve has space, next time we travel, Oscar will return.”

Sixteen Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
I left my 4.5 year old dog Mango with Elliott for 5 days and 4 nights. He gave daily updates and was very quick to respond to all my messages. She was allowed on the furniture including the bed. She appeared well taken care of. I feel like she as in good hands and I’d use his services again :)

This was my first time me leaving my dog for several days for a vacation. Novelette was great with my dog. She kept me posted daily with photos and videos and activities done with my dog. My dog was comfortable and was able to meet other dogs and blend in well. All I can say is that Novelette is a sweet caring person who truly cares for the pets she takes care of. I had my mind at peace and was happy with her taking care of my pet.
I have been using rover for 4 years now and Amy has been the best petson to take care of my dog "Johnny" so far. She is Highly Recommended and will be using her to take care of my Dog moving forward. The pictures she sent us we awesome and it really looked like my dog was living his best life lol. You will not be disappointed.
