“Gabriela took care of my dog Leo as if he was her own. I am so grateful for her loving care, frequent updates, and flexibility. We will surely recommend her to family and friends and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Katie was amazing from the get go. My previous Rover accommodations fell through last minute and Katie was able to take on both of our dogs last minute. One is a puppy and the other was going through some medical issues and has some personality quirks. She had no problem navigating it, and I felt very confident leaving our dogs with her. She did a great job administering medication and giving them lots of attention and walks. She also sent tons of updates and we would definitely use her again. She did a great job and you could tell she really cared for our dogs!”
“Jessica and Luis were very sweet and took care of our furbaby very nicely. As it was our first time onboarding we were worried intially. But Jessica and luis were in touch all the time and sending us pictures every few hours keeping us updated about our furbaby which made us feel comfortable during our vacation time. They gave so much love to our furbaby and took for good walks. We would definitely recommend them and revist in future.”
“I left Jinn over for 5 days while I was away on a trip and Niratcha and fam took great care of him. Kept me updated with pictures and videos and really kept him busy.”
“Neydy and Miguel took the best care of our dog Rocky. We were getting constant updates about Rocky and how he was doing. He was treated with lots of love and care. I would definitely recommend Neydy and Miguel to our friends and family, they took care of my dog as he was theirs. We will definitely be booking again.”
“We boarded Cleo, our 40 lb Rottweiler mix, with Jeannie for a little more than a week and it was a great experience for us and our dog. Cleo is skittish around new people and it was our first time boarding her, but she was comfortable with Jeannie and loved the large fenced-in back yard. Each day, Jeannie sent us a photo of Cleo, and it was reassuring to see Cleo enjoying herself. We would highly recommend Jeannie to anyone who needs to board a dog.”
“Absolutely amazing! Kind, considerate person. I received regular updates and pictures. I could have not been happier or felt more comfortable leaving my fur baby in their care!”
“Katie was amazing she made us feel comfortable leaving Max with her beautiful family, she was always sending us pictures of him and letting us know how he was doing! I will definitely recommend her to take care of your Fur baby. Thank you so much 😊 i will gladly give her 1000 star ⭐️ review”
“If I could, I would give Robynn a 10 star review .I did had a lot of Dogsitter options to choose from ,but what did she do so different from what others did not ?Well , she immediately offered a meet and greet after she confirmed she is available .If you love your dog I think that knowing who you leave them with it’s very important .During my dogs stay she was really engaged. She offered a lot of exercise and play time. She also send me updates ,a lot of photos and videos of her. She’s also so creative☺️. She edited one video and made it so cute, I think I watch the 10 times in one day! She is a awesome dogsitter ! Thank you again Robynn!”
“We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!”
About: I have been taken care of our pets for over 15 years. We had two pets, one passed away 2 years ago and we have 10 year old dog whom we love sooo much I love to go on walks around our block to enjoy time with our dog and kids. I Love spending time in our yard as much as possible. And as my job will be changing to working from home in a few months, I will be enjoying much more time to spend with the dogs in our home. Our house is fully fenced and we have plenty of yard for the dogs to play. We like to have the dogs enjoy all our house as if it was theirs. And they have freedom to play and get on couches to feel comfortable
“Nancy was so sweet to our aging dog. You could tell she really cares about her furry guests. Nancy sent pics and updates-much appreciated. Our dog loved the attention and hanging out with Nancy’s dog and cat.”
“Once again, Derek and his family were the perfect caregivers for my dog Bear. They are kind, caring, and willing to do all of the small, nice things for Bear that I do. I am so happy to have found Derek, as we have several long trips planned in the next few months. We will go away knowing that our sweet pup is in the best hands possible. Thank you so much, Derek!”
“My pup seemed very comfortable with David and Mary Ann. We got daily pics and updates which we loved. They even let him sleep in their room so he wasn’t lonely. He’s an old man and set in his ways and doesn’t always adapt well to new places. I’m so happy he settled in well with them. Would definitely use again.”
“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).”
