This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!

This was our first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive on using the service; until we met Hilary!! She was so welcoming and accommodating with our dog, not to mention extremely professional. Our dog had a great time, she was well exercised and we will definitely use her in the future. A+++++

We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.

Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️

He sent plenty of pictures and updates and catered to zephyrs routine which I'm so beyond grateful for! Zeph will absolutely be visiting his now Uncle Jeff again soon!

As always, Matt is a fantastic dogsitter. He took great care of our Dalmatian and Dachshund while we were out of the country, even giving extra love and TLC to our little girl when she had some tummy upset.

Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.

I give Kourtney five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 She was wonderful. She took care of Diego, our 12-year-old mini Schnauzer, with love and lots of attention. Diego was pampered and had a great time playing with Kourtney, enjoying walks, and playing with Jake, Kourtney‘s beagle, in the fenced yard. He was allowed to nap on the sofa, sleep on the bed, and even nap on Kourtney‘s lap while she was working on her computer. He got his meals and supplements on time and enjoyed his treats. Kourtney kept us posted twice a day with photos and videos of Diego. I'm sure Diego will miss his time with Kourtney, and my wife and I are grateful to her for caring for our little furry companion so well! Many thanks, Kourtney!

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!
