“Valerie is absolutely fantastic! Our dogs had such a fun time with her — she took them on hikes, to the park, and made sure they got plenty of treats, playtime, and attention. We could tell they were happy and well cared for the entire time. Valerie also sent us tons of photos and videos, which we really appreciated — it was great to see all their adventures while we were away. One of the best sitters we’ve ever had!”

“Michelle did a great job watching my dog, Pepper. She lives in a quiet neighborhood and has a large yard for dogs to run around in. I had peace of mind having her pet-sit Pepper for the weekend.”

“Amy was accommodating of changes in our schedule, very communicative, and gave Tai back cleaner than we left him! We were grateful for her regular photo updates as well!”


“Victoria did a great job with my Charlie. She introduced the other residents staying with her gradually so he was not overwhelmed. She keeps good control of all the dogs. She is very communicative both in setting up the appointment as well as during the visit itself, and sends videos and text updates. The only thing I was not crazy about was the artificial grass in her yard instead of real grass, but other than that, she did a great job for me.”

“Sierra always takes excellent care of Max! He has some separation anxiety and can be shy at times, but he is always very excited to see her when I drop him off. I can tell that he is very relaxed under her care and really enjoys all the snuggles and play time!”


“Duke has been to “Ms. Kathy’s” (as we call her) a half a dozen or so times. When we ask if he wants to go, he tilts his head and gets so excited! We always get a bunch of pictures that my kids enjoy seeing. I like that there is often a playmate or 2 for our pup. As always, Duke will be returning soon! ⭐️”

“Nelia and her precious family take dog sitting to a very high level! Always will be my first choice for future bookings! Hershey was treated like part of her family with lots of love, attention and exercise. Nelia sent frequent updates with great photos of him with her children, outside in the backyard, and on neighborhood walks. It was my longest time away from him. It was hard for me, but Nelia made it so much easier knowing how well he was being cared for. Nelia followed my instructions exactly and was very flexible with last minute changes with my work schedule and needing to drop him off a day earlier. Flexible with drop off time also. She invited me to stop over for a meet and greet before the first drop off after our first phone call. You learn a lot from meet and greets and I highly recommend them for everyone! Meet Nelia and her family and you will agree that she is a great choice!”
“Richard was amazing with our dog! He kept us updated with pictures. We had a great peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Richard!”

“Freya had a great time staying with Ellyn and her family! She felt right at home, and loved running around in the yard and Frick Park. Ellyn was very responsive and helpful when our flight was delayed, and Freya had to stay a bit longer than planned. Thank you!”

“Another great stay with Ashley and Nick! We are always confident that our big dog is getting the best care with them! They handle her rather complicated meds and feeding with no issues, provide frequent updates and pictures, and clearly give her lots of love and hugs. Highly recommend!”

“Ronald and his partner took really good care of sky, and I got a lot of pictures of her during the stay, that helped put my mind at ease, would definitely board with them again:)”


“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”

“Kristi is a staple sitter in our household! She’s friendly, communicative, and takes the best care of our pup! She’s recently settled into a new neighborhood, and the transition was a piece of cake! Our dog felt right at home, and he’s always excited to spend a few days with his buddy Hashbrown.”

“Remi loves staying with Tia! I always book on weekends but I went on a week long trip this time around. Tia send multiple updates throughout the day and I know how much Remi loves staying there. She never wants to leave! Picked up a tired out puppy!”

“Breanna was everything we could have asked for in a sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates, had toys for our dog to play with, and even took him for his favorite treat, a pup cup! She was very communicative and asked great questions to make sure she knew everything he needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”

Swisshelm Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our almost 3 year old Golden Retriever stayed with Joseph for a week over Christmas. We were a bit anxious as we don’t leave him much, but Joe was great from first contact. Very communicative with prompt responses, and he made time to talk with my husband to make sure we were comfortable. His home is well-suited and welcoming to dogs, and Copper settled in quickly. Joe sent us regular updates with pictures and made sure to keep us informed on how things were going. We felt that Copper was in great hands, and we were able to enjoy our time with family without worrying. We will definitely use Joe again, and I would highly recommend him for all boarding needs.

Autumn took care of our two boys while we were in a bit of a travel pinch over Thanksgiving and she did a fantastic job! I am an extremely paranoid dog mom and she made me feel at ease by sending me pictures and updates of the boys throughout the weekend. She made sure they were well fed, walked and cuddled throughout their stay. Thank you so much Autumn!

Breanna was absolutely lovely! Zinnia had gotten sick on the way to their home and Breanna was still okay with watching over her! She kept me updated the entire time I was gone, sent lots of pictures, and followed my instructions to a tee (including the extra ones I added last minute to help Zinnia feel better)! Zinnia got used to her very quick and had a wonderful time playing, lounging, and going for walks together!

Dominique was great and her puppy, Ragnar, was a perfect playmate for Gustav. Communication was prompt, we got pictures throughout his stay, and our dog seemed to have a nice experience! Dominique was accommodating and understanding when we needed to shift pick up by a few hours.

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!!!!

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!
