“She is clearly good with our pet, who didn’t want to leave Michelle when we came to pick her up. Michelle gives daily updates with photos, which were very much appreciated. We trust her so much that we already re-booked her for our next trip!”


“This was first experience using Rover overall and I'm genuinely happy that it was with Boris. He was very quick to respond to all communication and was really great to work with. My dog Duke had a great time being there and enjoyed the company of Boris's dog. Boris provided photos and videos throughout the few days Duke was with him. Great experience and I will be using Boris again!”


“My 9 month old puppy had the best time staying with Mary. She was very accommodating, allowing us to set up a meet and greet beforehand. She took the time to learn all about our puppy Olive and we felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby at Mary’s house. Also Olive picked up a few new skills as well :) Could not recommend Mary more!!”


About: We have a half acre, fenced in yard. Perfect for zoomies and activity to make sure your dog is kept active and not cooped up all day. We work from home so we will be able to attend to the needs of your dog. They will be let out plenty of times to run around our fenced in back yard. We have two dogs, a labradoodle and a corgi who love to play. Our fenced in back yard is the perfect size to allow them to get a full exercise every day.

“June was absolutely wonderful with our shy dog! He was able to open up to her quickly, and she kept us updated with lots of photos, which made us feel at ease knowing that he was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely book her again.”


About: My fiancé Andy and I grew up with dogs but since we don't have our own yet we dog sit often. Our regular charges include Frank, Mozey, Pep, Boba, Loki, Beau, and Daisy. We just purchased a home with a yard that backs to a huge park so we are ready for more dog visitors! We are very active and love to play, can't wait to see what games your pup loves. Andy works from home full time. I work 9-5 at the office and will bombard your dog with love all evening. Our weekends are very open. We like to provide constant companionship to our dog visitors so one of us will likely be home with them at all times. Our yard is not fully fenced yet so we have extended leashes for yard time. Couch and bed cuddles guaranteed, unless your pup would like us to build them a cozy nest somewhere.

“Highly recommend. Oliwia is Amazing!! We're so glad to have found Oliwia, Latte feels so at home, He looks very happy and comfortable, and We can travel knowing he is well cared for!! Thank you Oliwia.”


“Leigh and her family were awesome in caring for our dog! They treated Lexi like family and Lexi loved her stay with them! We greatly appreciate Leigh's flexibility in accommodating our needs. She sent many pictures and kept us updated during our absence. She had excellent communication with us and we knew Lexi was in good hands while we were away. It is obvious that Leigh and her family love dogs and we will definitely choose them again to care for Lexi.”


“Everything went well included meet and greet before boarding. My 8 month puppy Mochi enjoyed playing and get along with their dog Loki. Mr and Mrs. Ganesh took care of Mochi nicely and being patient even she had accident then tied for more often potty breaks for solution. They shared Some videos and pictures .”



“Thank you Julia for everything! She sent updates on how my dog Autumn was doing. I felt comfortable leaving Autumn with Julia and we will continue booking with her for when we go out of town 😊”


“Giselle and her family was great at taking care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. The moment my dog would just follow Giselle without the need of treats to bribe her, I know she’s in good hands. Giselle was great with updates and fast on responding when I had any questions, great and reliable sitter. :) I’ll definitely let my puppy girl stay with her again if needs be.”


“Rhondarose gave us multiple updates and pictures which was so great since this was the first time our pup was cared for outside of family. Cocco was able to run and play with other dogs and it was an easy transition with Rhondarose’s family. We are so grateful and already planned our next booking!”


“April and her Husband did an amazing job, to be honest I was super worried to be away from Lisa for 6 days for the first time, but April gave me comfort sending photos and letting me know what was Lisa up to, just seeing Lisa in the photos made me feel so much better, when I picked up Lisa, I found her to be clean and healthy just as the first day I dropped her. it was the reviews that made me choose April, and I'm happy to add my own review. Definitely will choose April for my upcoming trips. THANK YOU APRIL =)”


“Judy was absolutely wonderful to work with for our dog Simba. We felt comfortable and relaxed to leave him for an extended time for the first time. We could also tell that Simba really enjoyed his time with Judy and Bill. They made him feel right at home, and took such thoughtful and attentive care of him!”


“Steph was awesome! This was my first experience with Rover and I have a Boykin Spaniel, which is a 16 month old 40lb high energy hunting machine. She excepted the challenge and treated Kola like he was her own. Very pleased with the whole experience and Steph. I took a fly-in fishing to the northern woods of Canada and due to fires and bad weather in the area had to extend my stay for an additional two days up there because the float plane couldn't come get us. Steph rearranged her schedule to accommodate me. I didn't expect her to do that but greatly appreciate her for doing so. I highly recommend Steph, will use her again in the future (that is if she'll let me LOL).”


“Allis was very attentive and verified Ollie’s requirements/habits upon arrival. She also sent a couple photo/video updates throughout the day of Oliver playing with her kids and their family dog. He honestly had a lot of fun. You’re not going to find better care on Rover. Thank you! 🙏🏻”
