1. Corey R.

“Corey was great! This was the second time I have used him for daycare. He was flexible with my schedule. He sent cute pics and videos of my dog too!”


2. Samantha S.

“Sam was incredibly patient with Zena! Zena was triggered by the fireworks, Sam communicated everyday with me about helping Zena to regulate her emotions, she helped soothe her, provide Zena with the space she needed to calm down. I appreciate the picture and video and feed back on how to help Zena once we pick her up. Zena was well cared for, had her own clean room to roam in and a large hard to play in all this helped reduce my anxiety about leaving her. Over all Sam was knowledge about dog breeds and understands how to work with strong-willed shibas. Definitely recommend.”


3. Erix F.

“This is the second time Erix has watched our dog Henry and we will continue to work with him in the future. Our dog seems to be happy in his care. Our dog happened to have stitches and Erix had to deal with some special protocols and a cone and he always is happy to accommodate.”


4. Christine & Matthew P.

“Christine and Matt were wonderful with Logan! He had a great stay and we were grateful for the regular updates and photos. Logan got along well with their 2 dogs, and was tired out when we picked him up after being away! They went above and beyond getting Logan to eat, and communicated with us well. We will absolutely use them again!”


5. Stacey Y.

“She did an amazing job taking care of my girl while I was away. She treated her as if she were her own dog, kept to her routine, took her on long walks, played with her in her yard. I will be rebooking and couldn’t recommend her enough. I had limited reception on my trip and experienced a weather delay coming back. She was very helpful and accommodating with all of this!”




6. Irina S.

“Irina was fabulous!! This was only the third time we've ever left Smitty and the first time he wasn't with family. With her amazing attitude and attention, he thrived! Smitty had a great time with Irina and their dog, and we knew he would from the moment we dropped him off. We were nervous to leave him, but it was so clear he was in good times. Next time we're traveling without our pup, we'll definitely bring him back to Irina's!”


7. Eden (& Gal) H.

“Eden and Gal are the best! I was very worried about leaving my dog for a week. He is so attached to me I expected him to be inconsolable. Well from day one Eden sent me pictures and videos of him playing, resting and hanging with their dog. They even sent him home with a report card on everything from eating, and sleeping to doing his business. I would not hesitate to use them again.”


8. Brittany D.

“This was my first time using Rover for my dog Chino, and i got to say - it will not be my last! Brittany was amazing! Would send pictures/videos, updates throughout the day, was able to ease my mind about leaving my dog and just was so great. From the pictures and videos she would send me, my dog seemed right at home with her and her dogs and it made me so happy to see. Would definitely recommend and book with her again! ♡”


9. Susan R.


“Susan takes great care of my dog, Gemma. This was Gemma’s longest stay with Susan and I truly appreciated the updates and care while I was out of the country.”


10. Suanny N.

13. Luis W.

“He is been great with our baby like always! This is the second time with Luis and we can’t be more grateful to have him to care from our baby.”


14. Matthew & Christie R.

“After our dog boarding situation fell through for the week of Christmas, I stumbled upon Matthew and Christie (and their kids) on Rover. Not only were they able to accommodate our last minute reservation, but they were incredibly flexible when a million things went wrong on the tail end of our trip causing delay after delay. All that was awesome, but mostly it was their care and love for our dog (who’s truly the baby of our family and we are all just head over heels for) that was apparent and left us feeling completely at ease. We will absolutely be hitting them up again! We are so grateful to have stumbled upon such a caring loving family to care for our pup when we go out of town.”


15. Lisa S.

“Lisa and Jon took care of my dog for a full week and they were excellent. Great communication, and regular updates with pictures, and our dogs seemed to get along great. We had no issues and I’ll definitely be coming back to Lisa and Jon the next time I have to leave town :)”


16. Nicholas M.

“I could not imagine a dog Nicholas would not like. Such a genuinely nice guy, reminds me of my dog in the sense of no matter what that tail is waggin and he’s always upbeat and positive! Couldn’t recommend him more, trust him fully to take care of my family.”


17. Ashley b.

“As a first time user, she was communicative, friendly, and dissuaded any worries I had about the whole process. I learned more about my dog by how she interacted with others when I wasn't around, and have considered this a very valuable experience for both of us!”


18. Maypud A.

“Maypud was amazing and the girls loved her! She picked them up and dropped them off home. They were fed and walked before returning and were ready for a nap! I would definitely use her service again”


19. Darian H.
“Darian would be my first pick when deciding who to watch my dog and cat. She has two cats of her own who she adores more than anything. When she comes to my house she always offers to assist in taking my dog out for a walk. As well as, whenever I go away I know I can count on Darian to watch my animals and they will be well cared for. She always sends pictures of them to make sure you know they’re okay. Overall, when Darian tends to animals you know they’re getting the best care possible,”


20. Marisol E.


“Scout had the best time at Marisol’s, she got plenty of play, love and stimulation. So grateful and would definitely have her dog sit again.”
