“I really appreciated the care Zazie had while I was away and their flexibility to extend care after flight cancellation. Also, feedback Zazie got along well with other pups also in their care since she’s used to being “only child,” it was reassuring to know she adapted well to novelty; I could tell she adapted well to her first-time away from mom adapting well to a different family-temporary home…Thank you Huw & Jolynne”
“Sarah was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates everyday of our pups. Her home was great with a nice fenced yard. We knew our boys were well taken care of. She was extra accommodating to us extending our trip by a few days. Thank you thank you Sarah!”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Ashley took great care of our babies! I feel so lucky to have found a sitter that goes the extra mile, especially with our senior diabetic dog! Thanks Ashley!”
“Lindsey was amazing. Made me feel great about leaving my senior baby in her care. Very attentive, caring and helpful. She lived my little guy like he was her own. First time ever left my boy with her and so happy I found her. Totally appreciate her and will definitely barrow her services again.. Mister Billy will miss her. Thanks Lindsey from the bottom of our hearts♥️”
“Jessica took great care of my dog! She sent pictures all day every day. Jessica walked her multiple times a day. My sweet baby came back happy! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and someone besides family to watch our German shepherd. I was worried about him getting along in a new place. Turned out, he had a great time. I was sent pictures of him playing. Now that he is home, he looks a little bored! Thank you to Sharon and Michael. I am planning on using your services again.”
“Olga was so great with our 1 year old Labrador retriever. She sent a lot of photos of their walks and park plays. We felt safe knowing Olga was the perfect person for Lollie. Thank you Olga!”
“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“Amanda was very responsive, sent multiple updates on Walter. She went above and beyond for his care. We really needed someone like her. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Crystal met all the needs of our two puppers. Communication was excellent and both doggos had a fun time. We will definitely use Crystal the next time we need to board our fur babies.”
“Ashley is super friendly and responsive. I was sent the cutest pics and Ashley was very communicative about my cat's space in the house. He seemed like he had a blast!”
“A dog lover all of her life and a very supportive family that together made our dog feel completely at home. A fenced yard and 2 lovely dogs of her own rounded out our dog's stay. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”
“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”
“Amanda was awesome, and my dogs loved her! She was responsive when I messaged her, and sent me pictures and one video every day but one. She then doubled up on the pictures for the next day. I could tell by the pics and videos that they were enjoying themselves in her care.”
“Loren was absolutely wonderful with Kasi. I could tell that my pup enjoyed his stay and may have even been a little sad to leave!! I highly recommend her and feel lucky that she was available over the holidays. Feeling grateful for a stress-free trip - leaving my animals is not easy, but I knew Kasi was in good hands. I appreciated the daily updates. Thank you!! 🙏🏽”

This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Danielle. She communicated very well with us. She sent us pictures and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She seems like she truly is an animal lover. I think our dog was a little nervous when we left him because it was with somebody new but when we came back, he didn’t wanna leave her !
Jadae was absolutely amazing with my baby Dozr! She watched him for a day and a half and treated him like part of her family. Her two little girls were so sweet with him, and it was clear he felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time. Jadae kept me updated, made sure all of his needs were met, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Dozr was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I highly recommend Jadae to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Sarah was absolutely wonderful and incredibly accommodating when I needed a last-minute sitter to travel out of state for a funeral. She went above and beyond by sending daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She and her husband even took our fur baby out for pup cups (after asking permission), which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear from the start that they cared for our dog as if she were their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.
Tabetha was awesome and sent me photos of my doggos relaxing at her home. It was so nice to have someone reliable to watch them so I could have a relaxing weekend away. Thank you so much for watching my doggos for the weekend! They came home happy and tired so I know they had a great time! I appreciate all of the photos!! 🩷
