They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!

My pup had a great stay! I appreciate the flexibility of Kelti and Tanner with drop off and pick up. We received frequent photos and communication throughout the stay and our dog came home tired and happy. We even found a few princess stickers in his fur, so we know he was well loved by the tiny humans in the house as well :) it’s comforting to know your dog is in good hands while traveling and we will definitely consider rebooking in the future!

Jane was awesome! She gave us pictures and updates everyday. My boys acted like they could have cared less to be going home with us because they had such a good time at Jane’s house! I would highly recommend her. You can tell she really loves dogs even if they have health issues.

I would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when we’re away!

Madison was the best when sitting our dog Luna! She was able to take her on very short notice which we greatly appreciated. Madison was super responsive and treated Luna so well. She gave Luna all the cuddles and gave us plenty of fun and cute photo updates. We travel a lot so Luna will definitely stay with Madison again!

My dog was welcomed graciously by Joe & Tasha into their home! I met Joe & Tasha prior to booking at the dog park where our dogs were able to meet and was immediately comfortable with them taking my dog for the long weekend. They were quick to respond with communications leading up to the weekend as well as updates throughout. My dog is a Siberian Husky with lots of energy and came home exhausted from all the fun!!

I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!

I feel so grateful for Kim watching my dog, Ollie. She obviously loves dogs and takes wonderful care of them. Ollie likes socializing with the other dogs but he’s older and likes relaxing too. Kim’s house is a relaxing clean atmosphere for the dogs to play and can go outside when they need to. Love how she has gated the front door so no little one escapes. She sent photos and texts showing me he is content. Hopefully Kim will be available again when we go on a trip.

Gabrielle was wonderful to work with and despite this being the first time we used her, we felt comfortable with her right away. She clearly has experience and is loving and caring. I knew Max was in excellent hands. Max had a great time and made a new friend in Jetson. Gabrielle was great about sending pictures throughout our vacation and little updates. I now have a new back up sitter for Max.

Abbie was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mari. From the start, she was kind, understanding, and clearly very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Mari was in such attentive hands—Abbie kept a close eye on her and made sure all of her needs were met. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when I ended up arriving later than expected for pickup, which I truly appreciated. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but Abbie exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Jessica was, once again, amazing and available on short notice!! Indy was clearly very comfortable and well-loved in her care. It was great to know he was in safe and familiar hands! Regular updates and easy coordination/flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Attentive to behavioral quirks. Without hesitation, I continue to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for stellar animal care!

Austin was fantastic from the start and really did a great job taking care of our dog. Our beagle stayed with Austin for 1 night and he was super attentive, listened, and made her feel at home. We were looking for a sitter that more matched our home environment to make her comfortable, versus a kennel. Austin came through on that and our beagle was super comfortable! Austin was very responsive in communications and sent updates during her stay, which we appreciated! Would book Austin again as he treated Roxy very well.

Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.

This was Mango’s first Rover sitter and as a (possibly overly so) doting dog mom I was a little anxious. Lexi was fantastic, providing daily updates and pictures that really helped put me at ease. Mango, on the other hand, clearly had a great time and enjoyed her vacation thoroughly. I would absolutely book with Lexi again!
