âMary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldnât have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Maryâs services again in the future.â

âLauren was fantastic with my dog, she did what I had recommended when it came to watching my dog and went above and beyond. Sent cute adorable videos and photos of my dog and assured me he would be okay. 10/10 will be going back again soon!â

âElla LOVES her time with Kathryn and Teddy who is ALWAYS super communicative and has a positive attitude! We appreciate Kathryn and her patience so much and looking forward to future stays!â

âIn my humble opinion, the service was excellent. Truly recommendable! Mookie was well cared for, happy, and safe the entire time for 24hrs while i was working a long 12 hour shift. I truly appreciate the kindness and attention given, and I would gladly recommend this dog sitting service. âşď¸â

âMy standard schnauzer, Bentley, stayed with Emily for three nights and had an awesome time!! He got lots of love, attention, and exercise. I will definitely be booking with Emily again in the future!â
âAlexandria is wonderful with my dog Henry! It's such a relief to know that he's well taken care of when I have to be out of town. Alexandria communicates really well and sent lots of cute pics of Henry having fun with her sweet dogs during his stay!â

âWe felt very comfortable our pup was getting the best care while staying with Ellen. She had great communication throughout the process and we so appreciated the pic/video updates she shared with us!â

âEssence was pretty responsive when it came to checking in on my fur baby; she also provided pictures to see what he was up to. I could tell he was well taken care of! Definitely will be coming back when needing a dog sitter!â


âDawn was fantastic! She provided daily updates on my dachshund Henry so I knew he was in good hands. She cared for Henry as though he was her own dog. Would definitely rebook with Dawn.â

âHallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and itâs obvious she cares so much about our dogâs well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.â

âAngie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someoneâs house and the first time with Angie ! Sheâs 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 wasnât bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.â

âRachel was outstanding! She welcomed Kazo into her home with warmth and care, making him feel completely comfortable. Daily updates and photos reassured us he was happy and safe. Her home is clean, pet-friendly, and full of love. Truly dependable, kind, and professionalâan exceptional sitter we wholeheartedly recommend!â

âRayann watched my puppy for almost a week. She sent daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. She was a great communicator and took great care of Mav. He had a blast playing with her and her family. I will definitely use her whenever I go out of town next.â

âChristina was very attentive to my dogs and made sure to ask about their preferences and was concerned with things like how the vacuum might make them fee. She treated my dogs like her own. Highly recommend!â

âAndrew and his family were very welcoming to Dolly, and they sent an update during our trip so we knew she was adjusting. At pick up it was easy to tell that she had become one of the gang. We would recommend Andrew to care for your pet!â

âWas great introducing my dog into an environment with other dogs and assuring she got along and made friends. Was well taken care of while I was traveling.â

Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Ellen this past long weekend. She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and made the whole process easy and stress free. Communication was excellent throughout â we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Dawn made our Cavapooâs first stay away from family wonderful! She was very accommodating and was patient with our dog, Lily, as she got settled in. Dawn was very good about sending updates which kept my mind at ease. We would definitely book with her again in the future! Thanks, Dawn!

Amanda was the best thing that could have happened to us at the last minute of our holiday when we didn't think we'd find the right person to care for our Frenchie. She and her boyfriend took care of Spice just as we asked, and we were all happy. Spice found someone to take care of her in Columbus.

We were a little anxious about leaving our dog since she had not been away from home overnight in the ten years that we have had her. But she did great with Sidney and even made a new friend in Sidney"s cat. Also, thanks for sending us a daily update while we were on vacation.

Primera vez usando la aplicaciĂłn y no me arrepiento. Pero menos me arrepiento por la persona que escogimos para cuidar a nuestra Skye. Excelente comunicaciĂłn y trato. PensĂĄbamos que tendrĂamos problemas y nos equivocamos. Kathy es excelente en lo que hace. 100% recomendada.
