“Amy is consistently the GREATEST! :) She loves my pup and it's evident that he's excited to see her. It is so nice to leave town and know your fur baby is well taken care of...”



“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”


“Matt was fantastic! He sent plenty of updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is prone to environmental allergies and Matt was very communicative when he saw our dog getting itchy- he helped provide Benadryl with our confirmation and made sure to keep a close eye on our dog while we were away! Thank you very much!!”



“Cindy is awesome and my dog came home spoiled and well loved. She sent morning and evening pictures. This is my second time using her and will use her again in the future”


“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our anxious and fearful rescue, Dottie. We really hit the jackpot with Jennifer! She was patient with Dottie during “meet & greets” and I could tell Dottie was quickly warming up to her. Jennifer provided updates at least daily, and sometimes more; all with several photos of Dottie. Dottie felt right at home from the moment we left her and it was such a relief knowing she wasn’t scared or sad about us leaving her. She had so much fun at Jennifer’s house! We will definitely be using Jennifer again. We feel so lucky to have found her!”


“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”


“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”


“Sheri is fantastic! Her two teens are fantastic as well. I was quite nervous leaving our Great Dane Bodie, but once I met Sheri, I had no doubt he was in the best hands! They definitely had their work cut out out for them because Bodie was the biggest baby and the first few days of his stay was rough. They really worked with him to help him adapt to his new surroundings and by around day 3, he was completely comfortable and started sleeping through the night. I am so thankful for her and her sweet teens for taking great care of Bodie while we enjoyed a vacation with family. Thank you Sheri!”


“When I pull up to their house, My dog makes joyful sounds, jumping with joy & excitement because she loves to hang out with Pam, Paul & Marlowe. She’s very happy there.”


“We were so grateful for Danielle & her crew! She took great care of our pup and she was amazingly flexible and responsive. Very kind and loving and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her. Zero complaints! Only good vibes!”



“This was our first time using Rover and having our dogs stay with someone we didn't personally know. They have a lot of quirks and can be challenging so we were worried about how they would handle the change. Hilary put us at ease immediately and sent pictures of them daily and updates. It was a huge relief to be able to leave them in such good hands.”


“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”


“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”


“Paris had a wonderful time with Amy and her family. We really appreciated the updates and photos. Paris came home happy and relaxed! Will definitely call on Amy again!”

“My dogs, Pinkie and Winston had a wonderful and fun weekend at Aimee’s house. She took great care of them and was a fantastic host! Highly recommend!!”



“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”


“Vicki was great with Indi (who is a tripod with a high maintenance diet and on meds), and she sent lots of picture updates throughout the weekend, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying about my pup. Indi seemed to have a great time with both Vicki and her dog George, and I would definitely use her again!”

“Nikki went above and beyond making sure Henry was comfortable with her, and he settled in very quickly. She sends exceptional updates, and this was very comforting. I truly felt like she cared for Henry like he was her own.”

University Of Richmond dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a wonderful experience with Faith and Bear loved hanging with her! Faith was very responsive and attentive and kept us updated throughout his stay. Highly recommend!!

Nikki is amazing! My dog is a handful and they gave her all their love and patience. Nikki opened their home to my dog and treated her as their own. I was sent updates with pictures a few times a day and I really looked forward to seeing them! It was so nice to see my girl was safe and happy. Nikki was patient, kind and understanding with my sweet gremlin. I would book again and recommend Nikki to anyone who asked. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone and Nikki definitely made me feel comfortable and safe with them.

Ashley is always professional and kind. Moose had some special routines this stay and she was more than willing to accommodate. We know that Moose is in great hands with Ashley!

Pamela and Paul took such excellent care of our sheepadoodle when we were out on vacation. We got daily updates of pictures and videoson all the playtime she had, walks, and love the got. I’d highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Sheri was an AMAZING sitter!! She went above and beyond to make Dora feel at home, even playing her favorite movies and songs! I'm not sure Dora wanted to leave after her night with Sheri and the family 😁 Sheri was also so communicative and accommodating- HIGHLY recommend leaving your dog in her care ☺️

Dawn took amazing care of our dog Gumbo. We wish she lived in Charlotte so we could leave Gumbo with her regularly!

Emily and family did a great job watching my pup. Appreciated that Emily reached out when there were questions. Will use again.

Chelsea was fantastic! I am always nervous to leave my senior pup because he has bladder control issues and struggles to see and hear. Chelsea took great care of him and sent me pictures every day. He came home happy and healthy. Thank you for loving on him Chelsea!

Kaitlin has been great with our young Doodle. We've left him for a long weekend and several longer trips. He loves going and we feel comfortable that he is in good hands and well cared for. Thanks, Kaitlin!

Kelli and her family were awesome with my dog, Cooper. She sent pictures every day with updates and he seemed to get all the fun, love, and cuddles he needed while I was gone!

Hannah is the absolute best! 😍 Took my pup early AND dropped him off somewhere for me, plus sends pics/videos and check-ins every day and does so many fun things with my dog and takes him on adventures. Makes me feel so much less guilty going on vacation! 10/10 recommend. 🤩

My doggies receive the absolute best care with this family!! They have kept them about 4 times now and we will continue to use them. They show genuine care and concern and I don’t worry about them even a little when in their care!

I’m not exaggerating when I say I am the pickiest when it comes to my fur babies… and Caroline was amazing. She cared for my Peach as if she was her own, she communicated the entire time and went above and beyond in every aspect. I had extended trip so was a little nervous due to the length, but was able to fully relax on vacation just knowing she was in such good hands!

Our dog May, is super attached to us. Elana helped her feel calm and relaxed while away from us. We are so glad that we found Elana!

My dog seems very chill after returning from Breck's. I may have to take notes from him to see what I can do to be a better dog owner. :/ Thank you for taking care of him, Breck. :)

Our golden retriever, Jackson, had the best stay with Bri and Levi! They were very thorough when we dropped him off and sent regular updates. Our guy was super comfortable with them and that definitely gave us peace of mind.

Haley is a rockstar! She watched my dog for a weekend and was so attentive to his dietary needs- he can be a picky eater, but she was patient and followed the very complex instructions I had if he didn’t eat. She also updated me frequently each day and sent lots of pics of him out on walks and relaxing indoors. Even before Bailey stayed with her, she was very communicative and it helped a lot to do a meet and greet where Bailey was able to meet her and get familiar with her home. I felt very comfortable having Bailey stay with her and will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you, Haley!!
