“Maureen and her family are naturals! They definitely had a way with dogs. Our puppy Kyoto immediately took to them and their lovely and spacious home. Maureen sent many updates and videos to show that Kyoto was being cared for and was happy in his new environment. Maureen even enabled him to socialize with another puppy successfully. I am so grateful to have found a safe and happy home away from home for Kyoto. Thank you, Maureen and family! Until next time!”
“We left our 2 year old Belgian with Jaimie for 5 days, and she took terrific care of our puppy. She sent us daily updates and pictures, sometimes more often. She catered to his fussy diet without a problem. He slept in bed with her, followed her around the house, and frolicked indoors and outdoors with her own dog. When we came to pick him up, he was beyond excited to see us, but kept on going back to her as well. For someone who can’t actually verbalize, that’s a pretty strong statement. We will certainly use Jaimie for “babysitting” again.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“Letitia was great! She made sure to update me with pics and videos every day. I truly believe Captain enjoyed himself with her dog Bentley, her children and her fenced in backyard. Being that we live in a townhome community Captain doesn’t get the luxury to run around without leash. The best part about Letitia is Captain was the only dog she dog sat during the week bc she respected the fact that he’s not fully vaccinated yet. 😊 I’ll definitely book again! Thank you Letitia.”
“Yvette was great with Millie! She sent lots of updates and made me feel at ease. I could tell Millie was having a great time! We did a one night trial in advance of our wedding in January. The trial went so well that we will be leaving Millie there during our wedding week.”
“Lineth was so kind and a great interim doggie parent. I felt completely safe with my 12-year-old at her home, knowing that she would be cared for as if she were her own. I got pictures and updates that made me feel less guilty about leaving her, as we went on our trip. Thanks, Lineth! Karmella says, see you soon!”
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”
“It was good experience. Volodimir took good care of my puppy and regularly updated me and my wife with videos. I'm going to use his service in the future and can recommend him with confidence”
“As always, my pup Brooke is well taken care of while with Radwa. She gets lots of attention from the entire household especially her furry friends there. I never worry when she is there. It’s such a nice feeling to know your pup is good. I highly recommend Radwa.”
“Luna loves staying with Whitney and Michael and family. She has so much fun with the girls and also playing with their dog. They take great care of her and are understanding when I forget something for Luna and they step right up and fill in what’s missing. This is a great home for my puppy when I have to be away.”
“Pam was great taking care of my two dogs! Pam regularly sent pictures and gave us updates. They even ran out of food during their stay and Pam was nice enough to share her dog’s food with my dogs. Overall, I would recommend Pam to any dog owners. I’m positive our dogs enjoyed their “vacation” with Pam!”
“Mohita was fabulous right from the meet and greet. She made sure My dog was totally comfortable at her place and that included the lovely dog coco. It was so great to see pictures and videos of my dog having fun on his own little vacation at her place. She took great care and was very supportive throughout my dogs stay. So glad to have found Mohita. 💕”
“My dog is so well cared for when she’s with Jalisa. The entire family loves on my fur baby so much that sometimes I have to drag her away. I am a repeat customer and will be as long as Jalisa will have us.”
“Very kind, thoughtful boarder. Updated me constantly with pictures and videos. Even took extra time at odd hours to stay with my dog when she was crying from separation anxiety and I am so grateful.”
“We have used Lucy twice now - first time for 4 days, second time for 2 days - and we plan to use her again in the future. Our dog likes going to her place as there are usually multiple fur friends for him to play with. (He was happy to go there the second time, so that tells me he has enjoyed himself.) Lucy is friendly and quick to respond to communications. Her years is fenced and it seems like the dogs get to spend a lot of time out there, which is great for our dog.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Highly recommend! William hosted my diabetic/blind senior doggy and took such good care of him. William is very detail oriented, asked great questions showing he truly cares. He sent regular updates, went above and beyond making sure my dog eats and made me feel better about leaving him behind. Pugsy will definitely be coming back! Thanks William!”

The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.
Daniela is amazing! She and her family were so incredibly warm and attentive when they welcomed our dog, Rufus, into their home while we were out of town. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures we received, and felt reassured knowing that Rufus was safe, comfortable, and happy. Ruf felt right at home – so much so that weeks later, during his walks, he will every so often trot up the walkway when he passes their house and sit at the door, waiting to come inside. A testament, I am sure, to the love and attention he received during his stay!
Radwa has been wonderful with our shy dog and immediately made us feel at ease. She is patient, kind, and took the time to earn our dog’s trust, which means so much to us. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gives! We always know our pup is in great hands and highly recommend her!”
Sindy was an amazing pet sitter! I went on a week-long trip, and she kept me updated with photos of Olive enjoying her time at home, eating well, and going on long walks. Sindy is very detailed, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olive in her care. I would 100% book with her again!
We can't thank Jacqueline enough for being able to watch Sedona on short notice. You were wonderful to go through her care instructions so thoroughly and for you and Mimi to welcome her into your home and shower her with loving care. All of the photos and updates were much appreciated!
Amazing 12/10!!! This was by far the best and most comforting experience we’ve had yet. Leaving Nala with someone else can always feel a little nerve-wracking, but they made the entire process so easy and reassuring from the moment I met Harleny. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care for Nala were obvious every step of the way. While we were away, Nala initially ended up having an upset stomach/runs from the stress of being away from us, and they were absolutely amazing through it all. She kept us updated constantly, fed her rice to help settle her stomach, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her so much extra TLC and attention. Knowing she was being cared for so thoughtfully during that time gave us so much peace of mind, and it truly showed how much she genuinely care for the pets they watch. It truly felt like Nala was being treated like a part of her family. One of the sweetest things was the personalized video her husband created for Nala’s Instagram — such a thoughtful touch that completely went above and beyond. We are beyond grateful to have found Harleny and will absolutely continue using her in the future. Nala already misses her new best friends!
This was our first time with a sitter and we could not have imagined a better experience! Jalisa was so kind and friendly she treated our pup like her own, and was so communicative throughout her whole stay! She sent so many great pictures, took her on multiple walks throughout the day, and was so interactive with our pup! As soon as we brought her, she was immediately comfortable with Jalisa and her lovely family. Our dog has stomach issues and can only eat certain foods and Jalisa was very attentive to her needs. Jalisa was also able to do grooming for her during the stay and our princess looks so good and smells super fresh! Will absolutley be bringing our girl back any time we need a sitter and for grooming as well! If you are looking for a sitter I absolutley recommend scheduling with Jalisa, truly such a positive experience!
Such a wonderful experience with Doug and Michelle. My very anxious dog looked relaxed and at home in every picture. Communication was easy and thorough. My pup's complicated medication and treat schedule were followed perfectly!! I very highly recommend this sitter!!
As a first time user of Roover and first time anyone out side of my close family and friends has watched our dog, I’m so happy Sadie chose Megan. Megan was very thorough with understanding Sadie and her routine. We had flight changes that Megan helped with accommodating. Megan communicated with pictures and updates our whole trip so we knew Sadie was having just as much fun as we were. I’m so glad to have found someone I know will take care of our fur-baby the same way we would. I think Sadie has found a new best friend. Thank You Megan for taking such good care of our Sadie Girl.
