“Sitter accidentally forgot to return our basket of dog toys, but remedied the mistake by giving a rebate on one of the nights and mailed the toys back to our home. She was very accommodating.”
“Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.”
“This is the first time Brody has stayed in someone else’s home without us. What a good experience Brody had. And we feel very comfortable leaving him with Ellyn again. He was well cared for in every way.”
“Michael and Maria were the best! They took such great care of Penny while I was out of town. Their apartment is so clean and a wonderful location for the city. They were so kind with sending daily updates and photos. I know Penny was in great hands!”
“Kristina and Fletcher were so amazing for our three babies. We know our dogs have some unique traits (Luna is scared of hardwood floors) and Murphy can be very mischievous and they handled all of their quirks with the utmost care and patience. They even gave our Hazel a bath! We received updates and pictures everyday! We truly appreciate everything they did for our dogs!”
“Sierra was great with Hyde! Hyde is very high energy and can be temperamental with other dogs, which doesn’t always make him and easy dog to sit. However, I was completely comfortable with Sierra watching Hyde, as she was very communicative when needed and sent photos of him during the sitting. I will definitely be booking again when in need.”

“breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.”
“Kristi was absolutely fantastic. She scheduled a meet up with us and our dog prior to booking to ensure that both parties were happy and comfortable. She was very flexible in terms of drop off and pick up and communicated very clearly. While we were gone, she sent multiple pictures and videos of our dog daily and gave many updates. She took him on walks and gave him ample attention. We could tell through the media sent that our dog was happy and cared for. We will definitely be using Kristi again; it is clear she has a love for animals!”

“A sweet gem of a person! Super attentive to the needs of my pup and stayed in contact with me. Picture updates were provided too. Christine picked up on Beanie’s personality so quickly and handled her with such care. Christine rocks!!”
“Stellar experience from start to finish! Phoebe had a blast and we humans loved getting all the detailed updates on her adventures and new friends. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Kevin was great - excellent communication, and I felt my dog was in good hands. He stayed with Kevin for the two days we biked at KT. Kevin took him for hikes each day, which was greatly appreciated. He has a sweet greyhound that didn’t seem at all perturbed by our high energy springer! We go to KT at least once a year and hope to book him again!”

Swisshelm Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley was amazing with my 5-month-old puppy! My pup is more shy, timid, and anxious, so I was a little nervous about leaving her with someone new. Ashley immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that she was in great hands. She is warm, calm, and welcoming, and she took the time to make sure my puppy felt safe and happy. Ashley sent lots of updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. She has a great fenced-in backyard and plenty of toys and activities to keep dogs entertained. My puppy clearly enjoyed her time there and came home happy and relaxed. Ashley is professional, kind, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!
Contacted 10+ sitters and Erin was the only person willing to give my Mr. Dook a chance. Albeit he is a handful- senior rescue 100lbs reactive Rottweiler, she took the time, and with kindness and open-mindedness, bonded with Mr. Dook which culminated in a SUPER successful 5 day boarding. Thank you so much Erin!
Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!
Joe took care of our Rosie for 3 weeks and was great with her. He was very responsive to any questions we had. He took her on walks regularly and updated us daily with pictures. Thank you Joe!
Excellent communication and flexibility. Luna had a great time and everyone seemed to get along well.
So pleased that Nike was well taken care of and we were always sent pictures of Nike enjoying g his stay!!! Thank you, I can say that I strongly recommend Niki and Stephano! Thank you
We were lucky to find Allison for our last-minute request! One of our rescue dogs is still becoming more socialized - so he definitely needs to sense a "vibe" to be able to connect with someone - and after I got a good feeling at our meet-and-greet, we booked. He took to Allison pretty quickly and by the end of the weekend, they were snuggling. We would definitely use Allison again, if she'll have us. :) Thanks, Allison!
breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.
Alexis was very customer oriented keeping in contact with the dog owner to ensure her comfortability! She sent photos via text causing me to relax and glean much from my meetings! I will most definitely use her again the next time I am in town and in need of a dog sitter! Well worth the money spent!!!!
Kristina and Fletcher were so amazing for our three babies. We know our dogs have some unique traits (Luna is scared of hardwood floors) and Murphy can be very mischievous and they handled all of their quirks with the utmost care and patience. They even gave our Hazel a bath! We received updates and pictures everyday! We truly appreciate everything they did for our dogs!
Warner took in my puppy for emergency daycare with no questions asked. He answered his messages late in the evening and I was able to make it into the office on time the next morning. Easy drop off, easy pickup, happy and well loved dog!
Zsofi was an amazing host for our rescue dog Julie! Julie was immediately comfortable and had such a great time on all their adventures together. You can tell Zsofi had a lot of dog experience because she knew just how to prepare for the Fourth of July fireworks to make Julie extra comfortable even in a new place. We hope Zsofi is available again the next time we go out of town as I’m sure Julie would love to go back!
Oh my gosh she was so awesome! Sent me multiple pictures a day and constantly kept me up to date. Most definitely recommend if you are in need of a dog sitter. 10/10!
Was great with my girl Diamond she gave updates that put a smile on my face. I would definitely rebook for future trips.
We love Sabrina! She does a great job caring for our dog and cat and sends us lots of pictures and updates.
Great experience!! To be honest, I don’t trust many people with my stubborn Shiba but Sel took great care or him! He sent lots of updates and pick up/drop off was convenient and easy. He was super flexible! Also… my shibe is usually a litttttle particular but he got along great with his dog Stella and he has a big fenced backyard for the doggos to play in. Overall 10/10! Definitely recommend Sel and Stella! I think my dog was even a little sad to come home with me 😂
Kristi was fantastic with Gala, our 1 year old Great Dane. She kept us updated with pictures and was a good communicator regarding any questions. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Kristi!
Tracie did an amazing job taking care of Buddy—she literally fed him like a baby and made sure he was comfortable every step of the way. It's clear how much love and attention she gave him, and we can tell he’s missing you all, especially his playtime with Link. We're so grateful for everything you did to make Buddy feel at home while we were away. I can confidently say that with Tracie, your fur baby is in the safest hands. We’ll definitely be reaching out again!
Aridania provided excellent care for my old man, Toby. She communicated thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable. She provided multiple photos daily and updates as well. I couldn’t be happier with the level of care Toby received. I highly recommend her! She has great experience with senior doggies. Thanks again Ari! We will be booking again for sure.
