Marena was our dog savior! We had a last minute trip out of town for the 4th of July weekend and our regular boarder couldn't watch our dog. Thankfully, Marena was willing to help us out. She's so positive and caring, we had no worries about our dog who can be anxious around new people. I HIGHLY recommend Marena. She's not only an awesome dog caretaker, she's an awesome person. Thanks so much!

Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!

Dawn and Robert were great with my dog! They have a private fenced in back yard, which is great for my dog who loves to be outside but who doesn't get along with other animals. I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated so I know he's being taken care of. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough great things about Emily! She is so kind and responsive and took the best care of my dog Chip. I got multiple updates and pictures everyday. It was so reassuring knowing he was being loved and cared for. He had the best time with her and her dog Kove! I would absolutely have Chip stay with her again!

Alex was the first host I used on Rover. I was a bit worried about using this app, but Alex made my first experience amazing! She is so friendly and truly has a heart for animals. I have already booked with her a few times since and my doggo loves to stay with her. She is very flexible and has even dropped my dog back off to me. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!

Our sweet boy, Franns, loves Sally so much! We cannot say her name unless it means we are headed to the car to take him to see her. It is obvious that Sally cares for Franns the same, as well. When we leave Franns in Sally's care, I have never once had to worry about his well-being, and that is a comfort I will never take for granted. We love Sally, for loving our big boy so well.

As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but the meet and greet put our minds at ease right away when our dog walked right in and felt completely comfortable. Jessica sent daily pictures and updates, which we really appreciated and looked forward to. It was obvious our dog was in great hands, and we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. We would definitely book with Jessica again!

Our Goldendoodle Posey is a “spicy girl” and we couldn’t just leave her with anyone. Karla was our trainer at Take The Lead Dog Training and we were so impressed with her skills at helping to train our strong willed and somewhat naughty girl. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about Posey because I knew she was in good hands. Posey got the chance to get some socialization with other dogs which she needed. I will definitely use Karla again.

This was our first time working with Rachel and she was great! She was spot on with communication, sharing photos, updates and asking questions if needed. We definitely had the feeling that our two hounds were in good hands and getting plenty of love! All of this helped make our time away more relaxing and enjoyable. She has two dogs of her own and everyone seemed to get along really well, both playing and chilling together. We'd highly recommend Rachel and won't hesitate to reach out to her in the future.

Thomas was a great Rover for our dog I cannot recommend him enough. First, when our previous Rover had to cancel due to storm damage Thomas was able to book us and meet and greet our dog quickly before we left on vacation. When dropping off the dog Thomas asked about our dog’s likes and dislikes walking habits to ensure that our dog would be very comfortable. During the stay we were always kept informed of our dog’s behaviors and received daily pictures and messages of our dog having fun throughout the stay. When our flight was delayed coming home Thomas was kind enough to extend the stay and arrange for pickup in the morning. Thomas really will love your dog and return them to you happy and well taken care of.

We booked Katie somewhat last minute for a long stay for our dog, Wren. She typically stays at the kennel when we’re out of town but lately we felt like she wasn’t very happy there. Whenever we’d check in on her with the dog cameras she looked down and depressed. We decided a sitter might be a better option. That’s when we found Katie! I don’t think we’ll ever go back to the kennel. Katie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable when we dropped Wren off. I knew she was in good hands. Katie also sent so many pictures and videos keeping us updated throughout our trip. It was wonderful knowing Wren was having so much fun. I am extremely grateful for Katie and can’t thank her enough. We have a few more trips coming up and will absolutely be booking again. I think we found our forever sitter. Thank you again Katie! Wren already misses Ruth and Stevie!

Nina was so lovely and kind! I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. She treated Ozzie with so much love and provided me with so many updates. 10/10 communicator. I always hate to leave him but it makes it so much easier to know he’s staying with someone who adores him and it was clear that Nina did. She exuded warmth and I could tell he was so comfortable with her. I will definitely not hesitate to bring Ozzie back for more visits!

I’m an absolute helicopter dog dad, and my dog has big time separation anxiety (and so do I lol). After Sara watched my pup once, I’m literally going to her first for any and all rover requests from here on out. Prompt communication, photos and updates to keep me sane, and every photo I could see my Ollie was happy. Sara is the provider you’re looking for!

We’ve been using him to watch Meechie for a couple of years now, and this was our first time having Mylo stay with him too! Everything was great, as always. We had absolutely no complaints or concerns, and I honestly didn’t worry about the pups at all while they were there. It’s so nice having someone we trust completely with our boys. They came home happy and tired, so I’d say they had a pretty good time! 🐶❤️ We’ll definitely keep booking with him!
