“We are so thankful for Dhruvit! He was flexible, responsive and kept us updated with pictures of our dog. We would definitely book again with Dhruvit!”


“We used Na for 4 nights and she was truly amazing. We were nervous to leave our dog with someone we didn’t know but she made us feel so confident he was in the best care possible. I think Petey had a better vacation than us! She sent us many pictures and kept him active throughout his stay. It’s also amazing how she donates all the proceeds. We would definitely use Na and her family again to watch Petey!”


“We know that when we leave Callie with Diana & Harish, she is in good hands. They took such good care of Callie and gave her extra snuggles for us. They also offered to give Callie a bath because she was itchy which was much appreciated. So grateful to have found such a wonderful family when we can't take our fur baby with us.”


“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”


“Jenny took great care of our dog while we were away. She updated us with pictures and texts and was very accommodating for drop off and pick ups.”


“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”


“Raheem was excellent. My dog came back home happy and relaxed. This was the first time my dog was staying with someone new. Raheem took care of everything for my dog including food, walks and playtime. We got the pictures and videos on regular basis. Excellent service.”


“Seureon & Dongdwan were great hosts to our dog. They took great care of him for a week and sent us frequent updates, which always puts us, dog owners at ease. They were very timely and responsive and our dog seemed very happy and content. We will definitely use them again.”


“Our dog stayed with Barbra for two one week periods, she seems to love it there, getting along with both other guest dogs and Barbra's own, and was very excited to see her again for the second pick up. Barbara was flexible with logistical aspects, responsive to messages, and sent us plenty of cute pics. We'll definitely book her again.”


“April was such a great sitter. She went above and beyond for our dog. We have a senior dog that takes medication and she was able to administer with no problems. We highly recommend April as a sitter. She was very attentive and caring. She also sent daily updates so we would be made aware of how our dog was doing. She did such an amazing job.”


“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”


“Tu-anh was great caring for our little guy. She was very friendly and attentive to Gunther's needs. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs and does her best to understand their needs. Excellent communication through the entire time. We will definitely be trusting her again to sit for Gunther.”


“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”


“Gurdeep took great care of our fur-baby. This was our first time boarding Hailey and I was so relived after speaking to Gurdeep during our meet and greet. She is very warm and nice and has wonderful loving home with 3 lovely kids. She kept us posted throughout Hailey's stay. We will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her!”


“Very pleased with boarding my beagle with Cynthia. She was very attentive to my dog and made her feel comfortable during her stay. I would highly recommend Cynthia.”


“My little fella Mylo.. felt at home right away when he visited Ginnette. Ginnette was so caring, patient and knew exactly what Mylo needed. He is a picky eater and she worked around his moods to get him to eat and that was a big relief for me. Thank you for being so amazing and keeping me updated with pictures and videos. Mylo felt so loved.. we will definitely visit again.”


“My pups loved Jessica! It was my first time using Rover for our 9 day trip and everything went so smooth. My mini doodle is usually skittish but he went right to her and from the daily photos we received, he loved cuddling and staying by her side. He had plenty of other small doggies to play with and get his energy out. Thanks Jessica for making boarding not so scary!”



“This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to have Xinzhi take care of Ruby over the weekend! Ruby had a blast hanging out with Xinzhi’s dog Bella. Xinzhi took great care of Ruby and she felt at home with her hospitality! She kept me updated through out the weekend posting pictures and videos of Ruby, taking her for long walks and outdoor plays and ensuring Ruby was comfortable just like being at home. I did not worry a bit about Ruby! I will use Xinzhi again for Ruby!”


“Riley was very calm when I picked him up. After the meet and greet Riley went into your home with his tail wagging! That impressed me . I love the way you introduced him to your home and to the other dogs . We both felt very welcome . Appreciated the photos and the wonderful care you gave to Riley . First time I wasn’t nervous about leaving him thank you so much”


“Bertha was nice she sent photos to keep me sane and so I knew my little pup was ok. He was super tired when he got home, so I know he had tons of fun playing. We will definitely have her pupsit for us again!”
