“I think my 2 dogs had a wonderful stay with Karen! She was quick to respond whenever I sent a message and I really appreciated the adorable videos she sent of my dogs “talking” to us. We will definitely be reaching back out next time we need a dog sitter :)”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of Duke and ALL of his energy. He especially loved swimming yesterday to kick off summer ! He had so much fun he has been sleeping ever since I picked him up 😊”

“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”


“I love her, Hayley loves her. She would send me pictures and videos to update me on my fur baby. I was so worried about leaving her alone with someone new and the updates really helped. I will be booking Ms. Tamisha again.”

“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”


“I loved getting the picture updates and seeing Apollo playing with the kids and other dog while we were away. It really helped knowing he was being cared for by a loving family and not just held in a kennel. Thank you so much and I hope you will care for Apollo again.”

“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”

“Cristi was absolutely wonderful! She sent pictures and my pups were very well taken care of. It was such a relief knowing that there was someone giving them love and attention while we were away for the weekend. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future! Thank you so much Cristi! Wally and Donut had the best time!”

“Emily was incredible. I left the country for a week without my doggo for the first time, and Emily made it so easy for me with all the videos and pictures. She took extremely good care of him, and I could tell he felt right at home. I would use and recommend her services a million times over!”

“Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!”
“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”

“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”

“As always, we chose Joe as our sitter for our goldie. We always get at least one photo/video and update a day which is so appreciated. We never have to worry about him when he’s in Joe’s care. Joe is our go-to guy!”

“I had the good fortune of finding Deanna! She has established a safe and dog friendly haven that caters to the enjoyment of many breeds. Deanna goes above and beyond to understand the preferences and needs of your fur baby, ensuring a caring experience. I not only recommend but will use her services again.”

“Our pups had an amazing time! Alex took great care to love them as if they were her own and gave us plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend”

“Jaz took great care of Luna while i was away, and sent me lots of photos. she has created a dedicated “dog space” in her basement, with a comfy (for dogs) couch, toys, and even a tv! she reported that Luna fit right into their family’s routine, which was wonderful to hear. and Luna got to make friends with Lulu, the cute and playful family dog. i would definitely recommend Jaz for boarding and caring for your dog.”


“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”
Southeast dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maddy was amazing with my pup! She not only took her out several times a day but was kind enough to make sure the tv was always on and opened the curtains daily so the dog could sit in the window the way she likes. She kept me updated with photos and was amazing. She is also my neighbor and I’ve seen her with other dogs and her level of care is top notch! So grateful for her!

Dan & Shirley were great! They have a nice, fenced in backyard with a doggy door, so my dog was able to go in and out as she pleased. They treated her like one of their own, letting her cuddle on the couch and bed. Their dog is also very friendly seems to get along with everyone. They sent pictures almost every day, and I felt good leaving my dog with them.
