“Juliana was truly a godsend, I can’t imagine leaving Milton with anyone else, she took amazing care of him, sent us photos and updates everyday and truly made it feel like he was staying with extended family ❤️ she treated him like one of her own dogs and we will absolutely be using her for all of our future trips!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Emily and Christine were fantastic. Our dog had a great time and was very well taken care of. Birdie seemed to really like them and their dog, Lilo. We will definitely book them again in the future.”
“We had no worries dropping of our Golden Retriever at David's for the another week while we were out of town. She is always happy to see him when I drop her off and I am confident that she is in good hands. I have used David numerous times and we will be back when we take our next trip!”
“He was above and beyond. My new rescue had to be left behind for the holidays and wasn’t super comfortable yet, so he had some behavioral issues and, I’m embarrassed to say, ruined some of George’s valued possessions. George was beyond kind and gracious/understanding. He sent pictures and videos of my dog playing with his and I could see that he was having a good time”
“Rachel was a fantastic pet sitter for our frenchie Josie. She was so attentive, kind, understanding and thoughtful. Josie was welcomed and felt right at home immediately. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who needs exceptional care for their dog.”
“Juliana was truly exceptional. I received thoughtful daily updates with pictures, which made such a difference while I was away. My dog was clearly comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Reliable, caring, and professional— I would absolutely book again.”
“A last minute change to a planned trip made us look for a reasonable alternative to boarding which I won’t ever do again. Brian was proactive and professional in helping us solve our problem. He met our dog right away to make sure it was a good fit. Communication was plentiful (with pics) and we felt good knowing our dog was with someone who cared. We will use him again for sure.”
“Donte was great with my dog. Very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. He responds fast, sent videos and updates about my dog and was very understanding when my flight was delayed. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Carly took great care of our Sassy during our long weekend away! She sent updates and pictures! Communication was very easy and we knew our dog was in great care! Thanks so much Carly!”
“Ian took great care of Bentley while we were on vacation. Took him for hikes, plenty of outside playtime with other pups. We would definitely recommend and use him again for next vacation!”
“It was a pleasure to trust Haley with our puppy! It was the first time leaving him with someone else, and she made the whole experience great! I highly recommend her, and definitely will use her help in the future!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“This was the first time Max was ever boarded. He is 16. He came home happy and content. I was very satisfied with the care he received, Kevin was very responsive if I would reach out for an update.”
“It was our first time ever using this app for dogsitting. Max stayed with Andreah for 5 nights and she was great. She sent us updates , photos, and videos through the days. Responsible and reliable. She took great care of Max. He was happy and would definitely re-book with her.”
“Laura was the absolute best!! I couldn’t ask for a better person and environment for my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away - I was confident that my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you!”

Swarthmore dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our experience with Andreah was wonderful! She is calm and caring, and clearly loves dogs. Best of all, our Maltipoo appears to have enjoyed himself with Andreah and her family. Andreah provided just the right amount of updates and photos, making it a smooth experience for us as well. I would happily book with Andreah again when she is available.
My shepherd mix thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Ian and his pack playing in the backyard and taking walks. She’s typically timid around men, however she gave Ian kisses when she left demonstrating his loving connection with each and every pet as if they were his own.
Lindsay was the prefect sitter! She was so professional sweet, caring and attentive to our Dog Tucker. We could go away and have no worries leaving our dog with Lindsay. We loved the daily updates and communication along with adorable pictures. I will definitely use Lindsay again and refer her to anyone in need.
Juliana did a superb job boarding my puppy Muffin for 2 days. I had a meet and greet with Juliana beforehand which provided me with the utmost confidence that Muffin was in awesome hands. Juliana has a great backyard where dogs, especially puppies, can release their energy. Juliana has her own dogs and boards other dogs, so Muffin also had doggy friends to have fun with. I would definitely have Juliana watch Muffin again and would highly recommend Juliana as a boarder for other dog/puppy owners.
Our 2 year old mini golden doodle, Pepper, had a lovely stay with Leah and her mini golden doodle, Ollie. Leah communicated frequently and provided great updates. We knew Pepper was doing well the whole time, and it was nice knowing Pepper had another dog to hang out with. Two walks a day and a fenced in backyard with exceptional care from Leah, and another dog was a perfect situation for our energetic pup. 11 out of 10!
