“Denise is a fantastic, caring sitter! She took wonderful care of our Harley and sent regular updates and photos! Her dog as well as the other boarders were very welcoming and the backyard is large and secure. Great experience!”

“Fantastic caretaker for Suki! Sent us consistent updates and made sure to play with her a lot. Easily the most comfortable she has seemed in anyones place that we have chosen through Rover. Also bonus points for being Persian! ❤️”

“Anna was the perfect person to watch my pup while I was gone. She gave me thoughtful feedback and photo updates throughout the week. I could tell in photos and when I picked up my dog, Luna m, that she had a great experience!”

“Aine was absolutely fantastic. From the start and meeting her at first, she asked questions to make sure she understood Ralph’s needs and how best to care for him. She sent daily updates and the CUTEST photos. I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Aine!!”

“Lauren was incredible! Lauren watched my 3 y/o pup Rookie for 3 days. My favorite part of trusting her to take care of Rookie was the many questions she asked about his care needs. He’s not a difficult dog to care for but she assured that all the bases were covered in terms of what to know for taking care of him. Thank you Lauren!!”

“Ryan was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for my cat. She was really easy to communicate with, super understanding and friendly, and kept me updated on him throughout my trip. Will definitely be asking Ryan to watch him again, and would highly recommend.”

“Sarah watched my weenie dog Doug over the weekend. We did a meet and greet a few days in advance, so I knew Doug would be in good hands. She took the BEST care of him and sent me a picture with how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how caring and sweet she was with him. I would 100% recommend her!”

“Great communication and response time. My dog can be picky about being away from me but seemed to have a great time. Would definitely come back for further services!”

“I think this was Abby's 5th time with Savannah and Gabriel. They are great with her. Abby is a handful as she is only 8 months old and still doing typical puppy things. I like that S and G meet me outside their apt building, so I just hand Abby over to them. They take up her bag of food and toys, and her crate and framed puppy pad, so I can be on my way. Same when I come to pick Abby up. They have one dog, also a shih tzu. I like that they do have a playmate for Abby and also that they just have one dog and she's a small one like Abby. As I've said before, their apartment is immaculate and very nice and so is their dog. So I know that Abby won't be finding stuff on their floor to chew up and swallow. (She's still in that phase.) They also have pee pads, a playpen, nice beds, etc. S and G always keep me informed with photos while I'm away. I'm so glad I found them.”

“Amy was great for our dog Samus, she was very communicative and kept us updated every day. Her dog is super friendly and our dog was so happy to have a friend. Highly recommend.”

“I am so glad to have chosen Mary to watch my babies this weekend. She was very flexible with my drop off and pick up times as well as very communicative throughout their stay. I got picture updates of them playing with each other and friends every day and they came back so happy and tired. Will definitely book with Mary again.”

“Elijah was amazing! He took excellent care of my pups, ensuring their special diet and medication needs were met. When I picked them up, they were happy and looked fantastic. Thank you again for taking such great care of them!”

“Bassam is the best! He will love and take care of your pups during their stay. My trip got unexpectedly extended a day and Bassam was so understanding. I knew my pups were safe and happy while I was detailing with travel details. I can not recommend him enough!”

“Excellent communcation, got lots of pictures, our Golden was very loved. Alison definitely loves animals and we're confident we've found our long-term Rover here in Austin.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Jason and Cassandra! They took such good care of my dog, Petra. They were extremely communicative and prompt, sending me photo updates every day of what Petra was up to and how she was doing. I wouldn’t hesitant to use their services again. Thank you both so much!”

“Rafa took great care of my dog and went beyond the extra mile by taking him to some fun excursions. He kept me updated daily with pictures. My dog was tired when I picked him up, which I’d say is a success!”

“Lacy was very accommodating. She sent many pics, and kept us posted about Kahlua. We had a last minute adjustment that she helped us with. Her property is huge with ample space to run Kahlua has a blast, walks, play time and more. Thanks Lacy!”

“Sarah and Kevin took amazing care of our Goldendoodle Timber! We’re so grateful to have found them. From our first meet and greet, we could tell Sarah was very experienced because she asked so many thoughtful questions about Timber. Timber stayed with them for over a week while we went on a family vacation and we truly had peace of mind the entire time because of how well Sarah communicated and cared for him. She sent so many updates with photos and videos letting us know Timber was living his best life with his new friends Juniper, Pony Boy and Milo. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup!”

South Lamar dog parents share their Rover experiences
AMAZING hospitality and felt so safe having my pup at the house. Not only was he able to take my baby last minute before my 4 day trip to CO, but updated me with pics and replied very quickly any time messaged him. Felt good having piece of mind while away from home. Thank you so much! Will use again

Leia loved her stay at “camp” with her new buddy Leo! Alexis was a fantastic sitter and was open to meeting before so the pups were familiar before drop off which I really appreciated :) She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week! Made us feel relieved she was in good hands and has another pup to keep her company. Absolutely recommend and will rebook!

This was our first time using Rover and I am so happy we picked Gol Gis A to be our first experience. We got plenty of pictures, videos and updates along the way. We had to make several edits to our trip due to medical emergency and they accommodated graciously every step of the way to keep our puppy. Amazing experience and if I use Rover again, will definitely return to them!

Daniela was extremely accommodating and so kind throughout the whole stay. She sent lots of pictures and videos without us even having to ask, which was such a nice touch. She did a great job, was wonderful to communicate with, and it was clear she really cares. 10/10 recommend.

Taylor was fantastic! Indy was excited to meet her, and it didn’t take long before she felt comfortable enough to cuddle up with her. Taylor kept me updated the whole time with photos, was easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up with, and sent a detailed message about how the stay went. I really appreciate her taking such great care of Indy! 🐾

Fiorella was absolutely amazing taking care of Reese!! This was the first sitting my furry-girl had and she had the most amazing time. Fiorella gave me constant updates and sent pictures and videos of Reese having a blast. Reese has now a preferred sitter!! Fiorella was very kind and Reese felt safe right from the start.

Anna has boarded Enzo twice already, and I’m so glad I found her! She’s very attentive and truly understands what it’s like to care for a puppy in training (Enzo stayed with her at 9 weeks and again at 13 weeks). She’s also very communicative, which made me feel really comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend her to any puppy owners and will definitely be booking with her again. On my last trip I had to extend my stay for work, and she was incredibly understanding and accommodating.
