“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”

“Katie is the absolute best! She was Dolly's foster mom and her dog Eva is super sweet. Dolly always comes home happy and tired. She truly treats her like she's one of her own.”

“This was our first time ever using Rover. I’m quite pleased with it and for sure will use this service again! Laronna was so pleasant and awesome. We did a meet and greet a few days before the reservations. I was very comfortable with her right after. She gave me updates and pics daily which was so sweet. I will book again with her in the future. If you’re hesitant like I was in the beginning, she definitely changed that quickly.”


“Jennifer is awesome! This is her second time watching Roscoe and she’s so amazing with him. She keeps me updated on how he’s doing and she also sends pictures. I will continue to book her in the future. Thanks Jennifer, you’re the best!😊”

“Paula did a wonderful job - she deserves Five Stars for watching over my pup Watson! It was my first experience going through Rover for dog boarding. Friends recommended checking her out as they’d used her and were very happy. She did not disappoint - Watson was just as relaxed when being dropped off and when picking him up at the end of my trip.”

“Julia did a great job watching Dexter for a week when I was out of town. It was my first time leaving him with someone else but I felt confident in her ability to take care of him, given her experience working with rescues. I appreciated the pictures she sent during his stay to show me how comfortable he was. Will definitely be back if we need a sitter again! Thanks Julia :)”

“Mandy was so great! From the meet and greet to the communication and updates while caring for my sweet boy. It was so obvious when I went to pick Dudley up that he was comfortable and loved his stay with her!!”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”

“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”

“Raina was amazing!! She watched my cat Pepper for 2.5 weeks while I was away and I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. She sent me updates everyday and lots of pictures. I can tell that she and her family cared for her really well and that Pepper loved them too. She had a great vacation as well, lol! Thank you so much again, Raina!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Reba. Fergie had a great time and the communication and attention to detail were excellent. She clearly loves dogs and she really took care of ours.”

“Jennifer was a fabulous host for our cat Ferguson. We got lots of photos and he clearly got lots of playtime. He didn't even want to leave when we came to get him and she only had him for 3 nights! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”

“Caitlin and Adam were absolutely amazing and so accommodating! Our dog, had the best time at their place for the holiday. They sent a ton of photos and were incredible. I could not have asked for a better experience.”

“Lorena was awesome! Basel was immediately comfortable and genuinely looked so happy there in all of the photos she sent us. Usually when we pick him up from somewhere, the second we put his harness and leash on he is pulling to go out the door. But we have NEVER seen him return to almost as if say goodbye as he did to Lorena before we left. We definitely look forward to booking her again!”

“Our Bella was so well taken care of by Jamie. We received regular photo updates throughout her stay. I will definitely reach out to Jamie for Bella with all our future travel plans and highly recommend that you do the same for your fur baby. Thank you Jamie for all your kindness.”

“Needed a back up sitter while I was out of town for work, Christy is great with dogs and made herself available without hassle. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”

University City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lesley was a true blessing when we were frantically looking for a sitter last minute. It was our time using Rover and first time using a non-family member to watch Asher so we were very anxious! From meet-and-greet and communication while Asher was with her, to his tail waging goodbye at pickup, we’re grateful to Lesley (and her pups) for welcoming him.

Sarah was terrific! My puppy had a wonderful time staying with her and her doggy (and another canine boarder). She was very communicative and sent photos and updates each day. She made pick up and drop off a breeze as well. I'd certainly book Sarah again for future stays!

Fatima was great and I could tell Piper had an excellent time once she settled. Although it was a short stay (1 night) I could tell she really cared about her experience as she made sure to do all of pipers favorite things, cuddles and bones. Would absolutely use again in the future since Piper seemed right at home

We boarded our dog with Sarah during our wedding weekend, and we got so many photos the entire weekend. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up, they clearly had a blast! Forever grateful that we could get through the craziness of wedding weekend with the peace of mind that our goofy pup was in such good hands!
