2. Katie & Michael S.

“Fantastic boarders! Introduced their pups to my dog Finnegan slowly and allowed them to befriend each other before we moved forward with boarding. Followed through on instructions top notch, got great update photos of Finnegan playing and was returned a puppy that slept for 20 hours straight”

“Briana did a great job with my Dewey. I could tell by the pictures she sent that he was happy and having a great time. He even came home freshly bathed!! Thank you, Briana!”


5. Jaclyn M.

“Jaclyn was an amazing sitter for our dog Luna! We had a nice meet and greet before the sitting, and after their preliminary intro, Luna ran over to Jaclyn to start her stay. Jaclyn sent lots of pictures and updates and was flexible with our pickup time, which was much appreciated given some travel snafus. I could tell Luna had a great time after the visit, she came back super relaxed and happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of Luna while we were away!”


6. Leanne & Michael M.

“We are new to Rover. Our experience with Leanne was excellent. She has a calming personality which is great as my fur baby tends to be anxious. We had a meet and greet prior to booking. Booking was easy and communication was great. We received updates and photos throughout our stay. Definitely would recommend Rover and Leanne.”




7. Deanna C.


“Excellent job. They sent photos every day while we were away. Would recommend leaving your pet with them. We will definitely be using them again”


8. Kylee H.


“Kyle always provided the best care to our energetic Australian shepherd. She knows how to make sure he stays safe and has a great day or overnight stay! He gets exercise playing with her dog or other dogs visiting in her fenced in yard. I always feel at ease traveling even if for a long trip, knowing he’s under Kylee’s care!”


9. Molly S.

“Molly was awesome with Hendry. She was super accommodating and very understanding of the weight of leaving your pet with someone. Would recommend to anyone.”


10. Cherylee & Steven W.

“Cherylee and Steven went above and beyond for my dog Clover and I while I was away. Being a travel nurse and first time Rover user, I was super nervous about the whole process, but they were so welcoming and accommodating to all of my pups need. Cherylee even went as far as to rescue us when my car broke down on the way to our meet and greet! I have an older pup with a lot of dietary and medication needs. They had absolutely no problem keeping his schedule and made sure to send me pictures and videos daily. I will definitely be a repeat client and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality caretaker for their fur babies! 🐶💕”


11. Anely C.

“Anely was so sweet and very accommodating even at the very last minute! Our sitter canceled on us with than a week and I am so glad that I found Anely! My dog is on multiple medications and is extremely spoiled and Anely was so great with handling it all. She sent pics every single day I was away (every morning, afternoon and night). She did a great job helping me feel relaxed about leaving my baby.”


12. Cristina F.

“Winston loved staying with Cristina and I loved the frequent pictures and updates! We will definitely be booking her again next time we go out of town :)”




13. Jessica v.


“Our dog Katie loved her overnights with Jessica, Justin and Abu. Jessica was amazing and made it so I did not have to worry at all. She treated our dog like family and I would highly recommend Jessica if you are looking for a dog sitter!! She sent plenty of updates so I was assured that all was well. Katie made herself right at home and helped herself to Abu’s toys, etc. Jessica has a great fenced in backyard and Katie spent much time outside with her new friend. When she came home she slept all day!!! Katie can’t wait to go back. Great experience ?”


14. Celina B.

“I'm fortunate to have found Celina when I needed a pet sitter for the weekend! It was a pleasure meeting them, as they were kind and understanding when I expressed my concerns about Otto and leaving him in a new environment. I liked that they spend the time to get to know me and my pup before committing. Smokey is also a great pup, he's so sweet and clever and it was great watching him adapt his play with Otto. It's also clear that Celina and Smokey have a great relationship and love each other a bunch. They do great with establishing boundaries and advocating for the pups when it's needed. Celina also sent me photos of Otto's stay, which were all adorable to see! Communication was easy and simple, which I'm very appreciative of. Overall, it was a great experience working with them and I will definitely book again :)”


15. Sheryl N.

“Sheryl sent us pictures of Geoffrey playing with other dogs at her house every day of the stay. I can tell he had a good time because he’s tired out!”


16. Leslie C.

“I’m so glad and please to had Leslie to take care of my dog, she took good care of him like her own, sending updates with pictures, I’ll keep using her as my dog sitter because I trust her and I know my dog will be safe and good with her. Thank you Leslie”


17. Ty S.

“Ty was a fantastic dog sitter! She was able to accommodate my pup, Pierogi on short notice and also made time for a meet & greet beforehand. She has a lovely space w/ a yard, and her two kids were super sweet to Pierogi. She sent me plenty of pics and was always quick to communicate. Definitely would book again!”


18. Bethann F.
“Bethann was lovely, and she took great care of Nala. She gave frequent updates with photos and was very communicative. We’d totally rover with her in the future!”


19. Gilbert T.

“I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Gil and his dog, Moon, provided for my 50-pound husky puppy, Guy, this weekend! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Gil kept me updated throughout the weekend with adorable pictures of the two dogs playing and having a blast together. It was clear that Guy was not only well-cared for but genuinely enjoying himself. Gil’s communication was excellent—he made sure I felt at ease, sending me regular updates that reassured me Guy was having a fantastic time. Moon, his dog, was the perfect companion, and I could see the bond they quickly developed. The playtime, walks, and overall attention Guy received made it clear that Gil is a true dog lover who goes above and beyond to ensure every pup is happy and safe. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, I highly recommend Gil. He treats your dog like family and makes sure they have an enjoyable, stress-free stay. Guy can’t wait for his next visit!”


20. Sally G.


“Sally did an amazing dog boarding my dog, Pepper, while I was out of town! Sally was incredibly warm and welcoming, and Pepper immediately felt comfortable with her. Not only that but it was clear that she took care of Pepper like he was her own pet and gave him incredible love and attention. She sent me many wonderful videos and pictures the whole time of Pepper on many fun adventures and walks with her. I would happily have Pepper stay with Sally any time, she was amazing!!”
