“Sandra was very accommodating and welcoming. This was our first experience with having someone other than family care for Chase. He seemed at ease and well cared for. We will definitely rebook with Sandra and cannot thank her enough for making this process easy.”

“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.”

“Bella had a great time at Novelette's home with her two dogs. She is very caring and keep me updated on how Bella was doing. Bella arrived injured (she spained her leg just before I was scheduled to leave on vacation) and Novelette took great care of her and made sure she received her medications on time. She also checked on Bella after she returned home which I greatly appreciate. Bella and I look forward to her sprending more time with Novelette and her pups.”

“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.”

“Aishea was great! She was very welcoming to my cat for his first boarding experience. She kept me updated and sent texts and pics during his stay. I knew he was being well cared for and I have already booked another stay with her and her family.”

“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”

“I've never been away from Nova who is a one year old BC and I needed to find someone that could handle her energy while I was away for a short vacay. I found Jannylza and decided to give her a shot considering the experience she had I knew I could leave Nova and not worry. Jannylza did a great job and kept me informed on Nova's progress which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use her services again without any hesitation. Thank you Jannylza.”

“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pooch. I am sure he enjoyed the company (canine and human), the outside time, and such comfortable inside accommodations. I am sure he will want to come for another visit soon!”

“Allison and her family took great care of our 2 dogs. We received multiple updates throughout their stay. We will definitely use her again for future stays. Thank you!”

“We are so happy we found Andrea! We only recently moved to the area and needed a dog sitter for a weekend so that we could celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with a brief getaway to the ocean. Andrea was absolutely delightful. She picked up our puppies at our house, making it easier for us and our planning efforts. She sent us updates and photos throughout the stay, always keeping us apprised. The dogs were perfectly calm and content when we picked them up and even appeared a little sad when we drove off to take them home. All in all, Andrea was very open, a great communicator, extremely accommodating, and so very friendly. We highly recommend her services and are sure to return for more.”


“Thank you Steve & Deb for another great visit with Fenway & Ellie! Both of our pups stayed for one whole week and were treated like royalty! Your house is truly Fenway & Ellie’s home away from home.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”

“We were very nervous because Gordie had never slept away from his home. He seemed very happy and content in the photos Caitlin was kind to send. I will definitely send him to her house again.”

Sixteen Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am grateful to have found Jessiana to care for my dog. She is dependable, kind, courteous and genuinely cared for my Samson, treating him as if he were her own. I received regular updates and picture, which provided me with peace of mind during my time away. I will certainly use her services again!

Sandra and her husband treat Lulu as if she were their own. When I leave her there I know that she is well loved and cared for. Lulu always looks so happy and comfortable in the pictures that are sent on a daily basis. Sandra went above and beyond to help care for Lulu‘s sore paw and feeding her several times a day along with administering her medication. She monitored her in their well fenced yard while Lulu got to chase squirrels, one of her favorite hobbies! I highly recommend Sandra!

Karen truly went above and beyond in caring for Louie while I was away. Her thoughtful gestures, like sending frequent pictures, not only showed her dedication but also provided me with peace of mind. It’s heartwarming to know that she treated Louie with such love and attention, making sure he felt safe and happy in my absence. Her kindness speaks volumes about her character and how much she genuinely cares for both human and furry!

Bella had a great time at Novelette's home with her two dogs. She is very caring and keep me updated on how Bella was doing. Bella arrived injured (she spained her leg just before I was scheduled to leave on vacation) and Novelette took great care of her and made sure she received her medications on time. She also checked on Bella after she returned home which I greatly appreciate. Bella and I look forward to her sprending more time with Novelette and her pups.
Fantastic, Amy is great with dogs. If YKYK, my dog was super comfortable with her when he typically is a nervous dog. Her dog Mayzie is the perfect interpreter and friend!!! I highly recommend Amy for services and dog boarding needs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Amy! 🐕

Mr Bear had a great time with Keith and Ashley! They were communicative throughout the entire process and treated our pup like one of their own. Bear has been snoring HARD since getting home, which means he had fun! Will totally use them again in our future. Thank you !!!
