“Nugget had the best time at Marie’s house! We got so many updates on Nugget’s adventures. Her family is awesome and so great with dogs. Can’t wait for the next time!!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“We loved our first experience with Reba! It was our puppy’s first time staying with a Rover and Reba made him (and us) feel like part of her family. She kept us updated all weekend with photos and we knew he was in great hands. We will definitely be using Reba again in the future!”
“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!😊”
“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!”
“Jennifer is definitely among the greatest sitters you can get! She was so caring and accommodating. Her cats are also very sweet and sociable, it was great to see how well they got along with my cat Tori. She also sent a lot of photos and videos so I can tell Tori is having a great time at Jennifer's place. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to board their fur babies!”
“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.”
“I don't know how she does it but she was awesome. How she cared for so many dogs at once was pretty impressive. Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”
“I can’t thank Caitlin and Adam enough for how they took care of our 9 month puppy for two weeks!! I was anxious to be gone that long from him, but their set up was perfect and Caitlin’s communication was so great. We were able to relax and fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in capable and caring hands. Thank you SO much!!”
“Ben has watched our 12 lb rescue chihuahua mix 3 times now, and we already have the 4th scheduled. His communication is great, he send photos throughout the stay, and Lana seems to love it there.”
“Louie came home from Julia’s in such a good mood and well behaved. Julia is super knowledgeable and met with Louie prior and understood his quirks as a dog. Louie is 2 but still has puppy energy and Julias son played and cuddled well with him too. Would definitely recommend 10/10!”
“Catherine is amazing!!!!!!! My baby had a ball she was so tired when we got home. It’s so hard to find people good with bigger dogs. She is our new dog sitter for sure. You won’t be disappointed.”
“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”
“Christy was fantastic! She has great dog energy and was very communicative. I loved having updates, pictures and videos, so I always knew my dog was safe and happy. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future ☺️”
“Katie was phenomenal and loved our Taz as if he was her own! We got lots of photos and updates and reassurance that he was adjusting well to his long stay with her. I definitely recommend Katie and will be rebooking!”
“We could not have been luckier or more pleased with Lorena as our very first Rover experience! She welcomed our “shih-poo with issues” with absolute grace and won him over like few others ever have. She handled meds and (sometimes difficult) walks, plus playtime, with ease, and her updates and photos kept us well informed during our trip. Highly recommend and will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Jen was great with our dog, Kermit! She was communicative and sent pictures everyday we were gone. Jen was very accommodating to our dog's schedule and made sure that she was comfortable in her house and with her cats. We'd definitely book with Jen in the future!”
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!
