“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”
“Gryffin had a great stay with Connie. He came home tired and happy. I love how she sends me lots of pictures of all the fun he’s having during his stay. She even took some Christmas photos this time! I definitely plan to rebook.”
“We boarded Gigi with Amber for a week. Gigi initially would not eat or drink. But Amber was patient with Gigi coaxing her to eat her food. We would definitely board with Amber again.”
“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”
“We had an amazing experience leaving our two dogs with Luzvin and her family for a week while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they would be in great hands. The best part was the spacious, fenced-in yard where the dogs could play and run around freely. Luzvin took them on daily walks, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and fresh air. What really stood out was the personalized attention they received. Luzvin's family was actively involved in caring for the dogs, and it was clear they all genuinely loved animals. With no other clients at the time, we didn’t have to worry about our dogs being around other animals, which was important since one of our dogs can be a bit unpredictable with others. One of the highlights of our experience was how communicative Luzvin was throughout the week. She sent us tons of pictures, videos, and updates every single day, which made us feel so connected to our dogs even though we were far away. It was such a comfort to see how happy and well taken care of they were! Luzvin’s attention to detail and dedication to our pets made us feel confident that we made the right choice. We’ll definitely be coming back for future stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“I did a meet and greet with Evelyn and her daughter prior to boarding, they were both really nice and asked questions about my dogs so I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with them. When I picked my dogs up after my trip I could tell my dogs were happy and well taken care of. Evelyn is quick to respond and really communicative, I loved receiving photos of my dogs with her family! I will definitely board my dogs with Evelyn again and will recommend her to others!”
“Erica is a great home away from home. I would recommend her to every one. She’s very accommodating. I can tell that she cares deeply for your pets by the questions that she ask when you first meet her. She’s reasonably priced and worth every penny. Thank you, Erica for your availability and wonderful service!”
“I am so very pleased with Cleetus’ stay. At first super nervous because we usually take him with us. Yesenia and her family showed our pup so much love and affection. I was quickly comforted knowing he was in good hands. I am so appreciative and can’t thank Yesenia enough. 🥰🥰🥰”
“Matisa was amazing! She is so kind hearted and made me feel comfortable within minutes of meeting her so I was automatically at ease leaving my dog there - on very short notice by the way (so grateful!). I could tell Loki felt right at home with her family and family dog. He had a big yard to roam, which I’m sure he loved. Matisa sent updates and pictures often which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Tracy was outstanding! I’ve NEVER felt more comfortable leaving my Duke with anyone else as I did with Tracy. We received daily updates (pics/videos) of hun and it kept my mind at ease that our baby was being cares for. Thank you so much Tracy! You are a Godsend!”
“She is the best! We've found a couple of sitters on Rover but we will look no further. Our doggy, Rylie, is safe at her house, comfortable, and is in such pleasant spirits when he stays with her. We know he's safe and feels loved when he's in her care. Bonus: Eldeen has such a warm personality and is friendly not only to the doggy but also, the family. I'm so grateful that we found her. Thank you.”
“Elly loves staying a Julie’s! She’s happy when we drop her off and happy (& very tired) when we pick her up! Julie keeps us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos.”
“This is the first time we have used Rover. We have a large, energetic mastiff puppy that also has a health condition and needs a special diet and meds. We can’t say enough about Laurie and how good our experience was! She had great communication and sent us a lot of pictures, videos and updates throughout his stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Laurie again and highly recommend her! Thanks Laurie for a wonderful first experience with Rover!”
“From the moment I met Kathryn and her family during the meet and greet for my two pups, I knew they were in the best hands. The warm and welcoming environment they provided instantly put me at ease, and I could see how much they genuinely cared for animals. Throughout the dog sitting services, Kathryn went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Her dedication and love for animals truly shone through in everything she did. I am so pleased/grateful for Kathryn's exceptional care and will definitely be utilizing her services again. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone seeking a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Kathryn!”
“Ligia provided outstanding, professional and technical service! She absolutely conducts herself with valuing customer service for both myself and my pet! She was flexible with changes to our agreement, constantly communicating, and even trained my dog on a new ‘trick’ in just 2-days! I highly recommend Ligia (as I am sure my per Koda does too) as she sets a high standard in dog boarding! Thank you Ligia!”
“Priscilla was wonderful with our two dogs! She was prepared for when we arrived, she took AWESOME care of them, and she contacted us each day with various pictures and videos. They were in great hands for their entire stay and we appreciated her welcoming them into her home. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Priscilla!”
“Great communication leading up to our stay. Jeleesa was amazing with my pup! My dog came home just as happy as when I left her- I highly recommend to anyone needed a “home away from home” for their animal!”

Audree is amazing! She’s kept our Chocolate Lab a few times for overnight stays. During each visit, Audree keeps us updated and shares photos throughout the stay. She really cares about the overall health and wellness of each pet and seems to personalize care per your pet’s needs. She’s amazing.
Tyera was absolutely amazing! She cared for Bruno as if he were her own. She stayed in constant communication about him sent wonderful pictures of them snuggling and playing. She truly has a kind soul and Bruno really took to her and her family instantly. Would definitely recommend and use her again in the future. Thank youu sooo much!
Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!
Best experience ever! My dogs were loved on, protected, taken on walks, cuddled and well fed. If you Are looking for an experience that mirrors your own home, look no further Ashanti made my two pups so comfortable and relaxed. Warm, clean, loving home, with kindness and communication the entire time! I’ll be booking with her again soon.
Kaivone and her husband took excellent care of my senior dog while I went on a day trip. They took her for a walk, let her nap to her heart’s content, and (with permission) fed her when I failed to pack her enough food. Your babies will be in good hands with them!
Dakota is an absolute saint for taking care of my dog! He was very communicative and even scheduled a meet and greet with us before he commited to watching my dog. It shows he cares and wants to ensure that my dog connects with him. Throughout the boarding, he stayed in regular contact through photo & video updates, which put my mind at ease knowing he was ok. What set Dakota apart from other dog sitters was that I didn’t even have to ask for him to provide updates. He was proactive and thought ahead in knowing that that would make any pet owner happy. 1,000,000% recommend!
My fur babies felt right at home in Mandi house. She sent me updates and pictures which put me at ease. I was afraid they were going to be a bit much being larger dogs at Christmas, but she said they fit right in with family members and friends. I will continue to use Mandi for all my dog sitting needs.
Finding Matthew and Sarah as pet sitters for my 6 year old rat terrier dog on Rover was the perfect answer to my prayers. I was nervous about leaving him because he had never been left with anyone other than family members. He tends to be a nervous dog who has not had much exposure to outside our home experiences. The care "Spot"received could not have been more perfect for his needs. As evidenced by the pictures and information I received regarding spot many times each day, I began to wonder if Spot would be wanting to return home with us. Each picture sent revealed how Spot just blended beautifully with his care givers.
