“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”

“Alexandra was great at communicating and following instructions we left for our pup. We got daily updates and she answered any and all questions quickly and with care. Would definitely re-book!”

“Albie is so happy when he sees Isaac and Jordan! They took him for a long walk today and we’re so glad that he had so much fun with them. All our directions were followed perfectly. Albie says “see you next time””

“Matthew and Van Jospeh did a wonderful job hosting our dog, Stanley, for a 2 night stay. They were very easy to work with, were flexible, very friendly, and Stanley seemed at ease the moment he met them. Would absolutely use their boarding services again. Thank you!”

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”

“Lupi had a great stay with Erika and the Pea! It was very comforting to see adorable photo and video updates from Erika throughout Lupi's stay. Erika also did a great job communicating with the owner. Overall we were very happy with her services and will be choosing Erika and family again!”

“Lee was amazing!! We were really nervous about leaving our elderly pup with someone in their home but Lee definitely eased that anxiety. She kept us updated with pics and check ins as we requested, and gave Arturro lots of cuddles and lovies as we do. We love that she makes every pup feel at home! We will definitely book again!”

“2nd time with Chantel and my pup feels like family! I so appreciate Chantel’s communication and updates. I feel in the loop about how my guy is doing while I’m away. And he loves play time with his friend Spartan!”

“Sharon is incredible! Very proactive with update, and took wonderful care of our little guy. She was patient with him and that he’s still just a puppy and his potty training. Really appreciate all her grace, we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her!”

“Hy & Arlo took fantastic care of my little buddy, Snacks, while we were on vacation for a week in another country. I felt confident and at ease with them watching him, and he seemed very happy when I picked him up! Snacks does not like other dogs, and they understood and were able to navigate this while out for walks without any issues. He also eats raw food and they were happy to make sure he got the correct amounts. We will definitely plan on using them again if we’re out of town in the future!”

“Rachel was very patient and attentive with my senior dog who has separation anxiety and some medical needs. She was communicative and easy to work with. My dog did really well staying with her and I would definitely use her services again!”

“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for Benny! I received plenty of daily updates, helping me feel confident that he was in good hands. He got plenty of walks, park time, play time, and snuggles. Kelly also returned him cleaner than when I dropped him off!! We are very glad we’ve found Kelly, as I fully intend to use her again in the future. I know she treated Benny like her own pup and took excellent care of him!”

“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”

“Chad and his family are amazing! Chad was understanding and communicative throughout the Rover process. His place is truly a property filled with trees and plenty of backyard space for your pup to run and sniff around. Chad is a true professional when it comes to dog sitting, knowing the dogs he cares for very well. He also seems to be a very down-to-earth person that goes the extra mile to be sure your questions are answered and you feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in his care. THANK YOU CHAD & FAM for TLC you showed my family on a holiday weekend. I couldn't have had a better first experience with a Rover sitter. =)”

“Muriel was super sweet and very communicative. She updated me with adorable pictures while we were away. Everything went smoothly and my pup seemed to enjoy her time!”

“Jakree did a great job taking care of my dog while I was out of town for Christmas. He was very responsive to all my messages and sent me updates every day. He was also nice enough to watch my dog an extra night when my flights got delayed. My dog was very happy staying with with Jakree and loved playing in his back yard with other dogs. I'd definitely recommend to Jakree.”

“Kathryn, Christopher, and their family were so kind and accommodating to my dog, Riley over the holiday. I received pictures and updates on how he was settling in. I would absolutely go to them for pet care and boarding again, and would recommend them with no hesitation. Thanks for caring for my sweet old guy!”

South Kennedy Tract dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly is amazing! She watched my toy poodle, Penny, for our first weekend away without her and exceeded all expectations. The communication was great, we got lots of pictures and updates, which I loved. She even went the extra mile by bathing Penny and giving her a thoughtful gift. I appreciate how comfortable Kelly made this experience for us.

This was my second time asking Paul to board Jadie, and my experience was as great as the first time. He shared videos and pictures throughout the day, and Jadie was always having a good time. When I picked her up she was happy and relaxed and I could tell she was well taken care of. I can’t recommend Paul enough !

Michelle and Mandar are kind, friendly and experienced hosts. My elderly dog has stayed with them multiple times, sometimes on short notice, and he loves being there. I can relax knowing he’s in great hands and appreciate all the cute photos they send. I’ll definitely be booking with Michelle and Mandar again.

Susan took wonderful care of our dog Mikasa. As a rescue, Mikasa needs time, patience, and understanding to get comfortable with new people, and Susan handled this beautifully. She carefully followed all the instructions we provided and approached Mikasa with so much patience and determination that, by the end of the stay, they had truly become best friends. While we were abroad, Susan kept us updated every single day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mikasa was in such good hands. She also made sure Mikasa received her medication and paid close attention to her needs. What meant the most to us was how much effort Susan put into building trust with Mikasa respecting her boundaries, letting her set the pace, and helping her gradually gain confidence. Seeing Mikasa relax, play, and bond with her was incredibly reassuring. We're very grateful for the care, dedication, and love Susan showed Mikasa. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter.
Angela took great care of Archie, he played with Maple, went on walks, and rested and ate well while in her care. She even noticed he had a hot spot and was licking and put a donut on him so he could sleep well. Archie was happy and nice and calm when he got home meaning he played very well. Thank you Angela!!

I recently boarded my dog with Coleen, and I couldn't be happier! Coleen’s warm and caring demeanor instantly put both me and my dog at ease. She provided regular updates and sent adorable photos, showing how much fun he was having during his stay. My dog came home happy and well-cared for.
