“We had such an amazing experience with Jennifer. Our girl Khaleesi spent an entire month with Jennifer while we arranged our relocation to Orlando. Luckily, she was close to where we were staying and was so accommodating to let us visit her during her stay. Khaleesi absolutely loved the backyard and all comfortable places she was able to relax in her home. Thank you again Jennifer for helping us be at ease with Khaleesi in your care!”


“This was my first time leaving my baby and I was very afraid. The communication with Jesse was very easy, she sent me a lot of pictures during the day and my baby always seems very happy!! I’m so glad that I found Jesse!! When I picked her up she had a bow and a bandana :) I will definitely leave my baby again with Jesse :)”


“Ámbar has been an absolute blessing for Max and me! Her attentive and caring demeanor towards Max during her dog-sitting service truly sets her apart. Max, my beloved Collie, was in the best hands. Ámbar's genuine love for animals shines through in the way she interacted with Max. She ensured he was happy and well taken care of. I was consistently updated with adorable pictures and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Ámbar's responsible and dependable nature is truly commendable. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog-sitter, look no further than Ámbar. She's a gem, and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care she provided for Max.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Zachary and his mom! They watched my dog, Scout, twice in one week and were incredibly accommodating with drop off and pick up. When my flight was canceled, they extended the stay without any issues. I was updated the entire time with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Scout was clearly well cared for — he was so tired from all the fun and attention that he slept the whole next day! Highly recommend Zachary to anyone looking for reliable and pet-friendly sitters.”


“Ninji had a wonderful time with Michele and her family. I appreciated all the pictures of Ninji while I was away and would definitely rebook again.”


“Elba was an amazing sitter for our babies they were comfortable the whole stay and I really appreciate her taking them in at the last minute. Will forsure book with her if in Florida again.”


“Karen has been absolutely incredible in taking care of our dog for a month and a half. She truly went above and beyond, making sure he felt right at home and cared for like he was part of her own family. The regular updates, photos, and videos she sent were a wonderful touch, giving us peace of mind and showing us how happy and comfortable he was. We could tell he was enjoying his time with her, and it meant the world to us. Without a doubt, we’ll be reaching out to Karen for any future trips. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter.”


“Nadine was the best. She kept updating us with pictures and videos. We enjoyed at Disney at Orlando because we know Popoy was safe and cared for. Will definitely hire her again.”


“Ginni and Tom took great care of my little man, giving me constant updates and caring for him as their own. Will definitely have them sit again when I go out of town”


“First time leaving my dog and it was super with no stress at all. Asked for updates while I was away and received my updates daily and fast response as well. He seemed to have a blast too which is great. Had the children around and they kept him company as well as other dogs from time to time. Will definitely used your service again. Thank you!.”


“Erin was awesome with my dog, Lily! I booked her boarding services for a long holiday weekend and she was very accommodating in making sure leaving Lily behind was stress free. Her home is in a very convenient location when flying out of/into Orlando airport as well. She takes lots of pictures and videos to update you on what her and your pet are up to! I could tell Lily felt right at home ☺️ I’d recommend Erin’s services to anyone looking for a cozy and safe stay!”


“I love the neiko was super happy interacting with others dogs and that he felt super comfortable even though it wasn’t even his home. Loved the daily photo updates and will definitely come back again!”


“Truly one of the best dog sitters you could ever ask for. I went on a weekend get away and Martha made it so easy for me to trust that my pup was getting the best care, love, and attention while I was away. My pup almost did not want to come back home with me. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your pup like family :)”


“Amazing communication throughout the whole stay! Made me feel very confident in leaving my dog with her! We will definitely be booking again! She’s so sweet and caring! Thank you again!”


“This was our first experience leaving our dogs elsewhere other than home and with people they didn’t know. I we found Iliana through Rover and she definitely exceeded our expectations. Iliana is such a sweet and caring lady, fully dedicated to what she does, she is truly serious and is knowledgeable on sitting dogs and kept me informed daily , so much more than I expected. After being with Iliana for a week my dogs heard her voice played non a recording and started wagging their tails and looking around for her jumping and running around. Searching for her. I can definitely tell they had a great time and were really taken good care off at Iliana’s place. I recommend her 100% and will book her in the future for Ollie and Chunky .”


“Renee was so great with my dog! She reached out a few days before the booking to confirm that she was so excited to have Velma stay with her for a bit. Her toddler was so sweet with my (often overly affectionate) pup and Velma was definitely sad to leave Renee's house! Would recommend her to anyone and if I am in the area again in need of a sitter I would not hesitate to book her again.”


“Maria and her family took care of our two dogs without any issues. Great communication and plenty of playtime for them. I had no worries with them staying with her and was able to enjoy our trip. She doesn’t overbook and ensures safety over money. What else could we want?! Thanks again, recommended.”



“Thank you for the video and pics. Cat loves being outside. Since moving into a condo she doesn’t have much space. Thank you for being so kind to my babies. I love them so much. You are the best. My babies are the had the best time at Wayne’s home. He sent me a video of Cat running laps in his backyard. I laughed so hard because she loves to run?. His dogs looked confused especially when she changed directions. I knew she felt comfortable after watching the video. I can’t thank you enough Wayne again for opening your home to my fur babies, Cat and Fries??.”

Southport dog parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot adequately express with words how AMAZING Cynthia was with our dog! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day everyday with a cute little summary video of Willie’s adventures that day. And it seemed like her whole day was centered around the dogs and providing them a fun time. It literally felt like I dropped Willie off for a vacation weekend. They went on trails, swimming (with my OK of course), sunrise walks, etc.. She also bathed him before I picked him up!! Cynthia will be the first person we call anytime we come to Orlando!!
