“Julie had my pup Skye at her farm for 5 days. Skye had a great time and slept well. She was able to run around the farm pastures and rode bikes with Julie. I would def use her again in the future!”

“Victor took care of my 4-month-old Labrador puppy, Ginger, for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Ginger is still very young—she isn’t fully potty trained or fully trained in general—so caring for her is truly a full-time job. Victor showed incredible patience, kindness, and dedication throughout. Ginger even ripped some of his dog’s toys, and he never once complained. He handled every challenge with understanding and care, and Ginger was clearly happy and well looked after. I’m extremely thankful to Victor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.”

“Kelsey was INCREDIBLE with my puppers. She was sure to make sure that we had a meet and greet first to ensure that she knew and was a good fit for him before the actual boarding. When I came back to get my dog, they were the best of friends!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving my small dog with Fiona for three days. From our initial meeting, they showed genuine understanding of the special attention little dogs need. Fiona created a comfortable, safe environment that immediately put my normally anxious pup at ease. They thoughtfully maintained my dog's familiar routine—from specific feeding times to favorite walking routes—which made all the difference in keeping stress levels low. Communication was excellent throughout the stay. I received daily updates with photos showing my happy dog enjoying playtime, and cuddles. It was clear my little one was receiving plenty of attention and affection. What impressed me most was Fiona's attention to detail—they noticed my dog's preference for certain sleeping spots, and adapted accordingly. Upon return, I found my dog relaxed, and clearly content. For such a short stay, the level of care provided was exceptional. I highly recommend this sitter to anyone with a dog needing personalized, attentive care. The peace of mind I enjoyed during my trip was worth every penny!”

“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”

“We absolutely love Todd!! He is very good about sending us pictures and keeping us informed about how our dog is doing. She has been going to him for almost 2 years now and actually gets excited when we get closer to his house. So great knowing that she is going to a home where they love her like we do and she gets spoiled. A little vacation for everyone.”

“Rebecca is everything you could ever want for your god in a sitter. Responsive, communicative, kind, caring, and trustworthy. You can tell how much she loves animals with the many updates and pictures to know they are being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough to trust with your pet if you are in need of a sitter. Thank you for loving my pup as much as I do!”

“Dawn is AMAZING! Our Ridgeback stayed with Dawn for 8 nights while we were away on vacation. Dawn and her family are caring, kind, and experienced. We could not have found a better person to watch Lima while we were away. We were very apprehensive about using Rover for such an extended period, but Dawn immediately put us at ease and was very communicative throughout the whole process. We could not recommend her more! Thank you Dawn!!!”

“Rachel was great with our two fur baby’s on short notice and flexible with travel plans changing she was just the best and Marley and fluffy loved her tons”

Rilenn E.

“Natalie is amazing! My dog Ellie can struggle with anxiety and fear meeting new people/places, but she seemed immediately comfortable with Natalie during our meet and greet. She was very accommodating, asked great questions at drop off to make sure Ellie was comfortable, and provided updates and photos throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again, I think Ellie was sad to say goodbye.”

Meghan P.

“Can’t say enough good things about Steve! He took excellent care of our senior dog for two weeks and sent us regular updates and photos so we could see how she was doing. She was living her best life! Truly thankful that we found Steve on Rover and highly recommend him - wish we had found him sooner!”
