“So happy that I found Sheryl on Rover! Sheryl has great communication skills and kept me informed during the 9 days my dogs were with her with pictures and video. We came over for a meet and greet prior to their stay. Her personal dogs were super friendly and my dogs started playing with them right away. I will use Sheryl again and again.”


“Samantha was an absolute lifesaver! I had a last-minute cancellation and needed someone to watch my puppy, Luna, while I went out of town for an emergency. She stepped in without hesitation and provided amazing care. She kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that she truly cared for Luna. I couldn’t be happier with her service, and I’m so grateful for her help. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


“She was wonderful informed us of everything that was going on with me and my mom’s dogs. She was very sweet and so were her kids. I will definitely be using her again.”


“Allison was great! She gave multiple updates each day, which helped put my mind at ease. She truly cared for my Koko girl while I was away and I could not be more appreciative! Would definitely book again. Thank you for everything, Allison! 😊”



“First time using Rover and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Great communication from Monique and she has created a welcoming environment in her home. She took excellent care of our 7 month old puppy and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended.”


“Melanie and her family were absolutely amazing with our puppy Boba who stayed with them for 3 days. All throughout Boba’s stay she got a lot of cuddles and love from Melanie and her family. Melanie was great providing me with many updates and making Boba’s stay smooth and comfortable. We look forward to Boba spending more time with Melanie’s family and are very grateful to have found them.”


“Azia was excellent! Lola had a great stay. She was very thorough with communication and (some very great) pictures of Lola, daily. I would 100% rebook with Azia, and plan on doing so next time I travel.”


“Our two dogs loved being at Nancy's. We have a Rottweiler and a Shepherd pittbull mix. Being the types of breeds we have it can be hard to find a good sitter you can trust to care for them. Nancy spoiled them and treated them like they were her own during there stay. Highly recommend!”


“Diana and Michael were awesome! We have used them several times now and each time Millie loves seeing them. They spend all day with her making sure she gets the walks, cuddles and snuggles she needs. And of course the treats! Millie loves pup cups so they made sure to stop by starbucks over the weekend to get her one. They sent updates every day with tons of pictures and you can tell they really care. Millie can’t wait to return and hang with her besties!”


“Natalie always does such a phenomenal job with my pup! She gets lots of walks and attention! Natalie is very communicative and flexible, which has been so helpful with my chaotic job.”


“Our dogs stayed with Rachel for the second time even on a short notice. As usual she took care of ours dogs just like her own. She sent us frequent updates (photos and videos). She's gonna be our permanent dog sitter as long as she's with Rover. Great job Rachel!!!”


“Kendyl was great! She was very responsive throughout booking and also while watching our dog, sent pics, and made us feel secure that he was having a good time. Would definitely use her again :)”

“Marcella is the best dog sitter you will ever meet! She is very knowledgeable, flexible, trustworthy, and offers one of the best rates near uptown Charlotte. And her 2 pups are adorable too! She is definitely my go-to dog sitter from now on. I am so glad my dog and I found her on Rover!”


“This stay was the absolute best and safest dog boarding I have had in a long time. I knew from the minute I walked to the dog and filled out the intro form that Mika was in great hands. From offering to help her upset stomach and brushing her fur, they went above and beyond all my expectations. I LOVED seeing how happy she was everyday with all the pictures and videos I was able to get. I will absolutely book again and again and again. Thank you so much for all you did and I can’t wait to see your future success.”


“Adriana was great! She is flexible, had great communication, and was very thorough in the questions she has about my dog’s care. You can tell she is well experienced with dogs and I felt comfortable with my dog being under her care and would recommend her as a dog sitter!”
