“Ashleigh took excellent care of my dog and sent me tons of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I would recommend her to anyone. She has a full toy shelf and makes sure the dogs are cared for and entertained. Also - she has experience with dogs who need a little extra attention and I’m super thankful for that”
“This was our first time using the Rover app. My husband and we were nervous leaving our boys (two boxers). Jennifer b. Was amazing, our boys took to her immediately. She gave our dogs so much love and took them on walks and sent videos and pictures to put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Jennifer b. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jessica and Colin made our little Mira feel like she was at home. It was her vacation home. I felt so comfortable leaving her with them and their 2 children. I love that they sent me updates on how she was doing even sent a picture of Mira with their older daughter. It was very sweet to have had the daughter make Mira a clay bone as a gift. I would 110% rebook with Jessica and Colin any time. <3 <3”
“I will often not go on trips because I don't want to leave my dog. I've had her for 16 years and trusting someone else to care for her, keep her safe and happy, is difficult for me. She's only ever had one other caregiver outside of immediate family and that woman is still a dear friend, but she's in another geographical state. Thanks to Rover, I have now found Christina and she's the perfect solution for me and my dog. The way Christina managed every aspect of my senior dog's needs and communication with me, is a relief second to none. Thank you, Christina!”
“Debbie took very good care of Heidi. She even heated up her leftover food and made sure that Heidi was eating enough. Her dogs got along great with Heidi. We will be using her again.”
“Shannon was great and treated our dog like it was her own. We will definitely book with her again in the future! She was communicative while we away and took our girl on lots of walks 😊”
“I am so grateful for Stephen! For opening up his home & taking such good care of Kovu while I was away. It was my first time leaving my fur baby, I was nervous but Stephen made this process so smooth! Kovu was sooo happy being there, I don’t think he had time to even miss me. I received multiples photos throughout the day which made me smile each time. I will without a doubt be booking with Stephen again!”
“Our experience with Jennifer was wonderful. She is easy to work with and very accommodating. I love the outdoor space she has for the dogs, and that she sent daily updates and photos. The dogs loved her and I was happy that they were cared for just like we would have done at home.”
“Priscilla was great with Izzy, always keeping me inform and sending photos and videos all the time, we for sure will use her services other times. We really recommend her and her family to take care of your 🐾🦮”
“Plain and simple - VASTI IS THE BEST! Amazing care of our precious little Morkie, who is not easy to care for, as that breed can be very possessive. She did a great job, sent constant updated pics and videos, showing her care and he really took to her attentiveness. We will definitely be asking for her services again in the future. Highly recommend her for your pet as well.”
“Yana took wonderful care of my Labrador during his overnight stay! He was relaxed, happy, and well looked after when I picked him up. She provided great communication and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. It’s clear she’s experienced and truly cares for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Athena and Richi watched Gemma over Thanksgiving while we were out of state. They are amazing! From booking to pick up, Athena and Richi were so involved and accommodating. I was so happy that Gemma was able to make herself right at home and loved that they had a fenced backyard since Gemma likes to lay in the sun. They sent pictures daily and Gemma had other pup friends to play with during her stay. I would HIGHLY recommend their services!”
“They took great care of my two dogs while I was away for a weekend! Sent daily photo updates and my pups came home happy and relaxed, proof of a good stay!”
“Laura is awesome, and our dog had a wonderful time at her house. He came home so tired he could barely stay awake so I know he had a fantastic time!”
“Look no further! My first Rover experience with our 11 yr old Goldendoodle. Cari immediately made me feel comfortable and gave me peace of mind knowing my girl would be very well cared for. You can tell she loves animals and prioritizes their needs. If I could give 10 stars, I would!”
“Super nice and very friendly. I would recommend her. Be aware you have to be able to carry your pet up a ladder before booking, but my husband was with me so it was not a problem. I wouldn’t have been able to do it myself. I am sure the host would have helped if needed.”
“Kate did a great job with our sweet girl, Honey! Honey was missing us and Kate gave her extra love and attention. She was well cared for and got to go on lots of walks. Thank you, Kate!”
“Marissa was awesome to say the least. I literally had the person that was supposed to watch my dog cancel on me the day before my trip and Marissa was more than happy to watch my sweet dog with less than 24 hours notice. She took amazing care of Jada and send us pics daily. Jada loved being there and fit in just well. We were so pleased with the professionalism that Marissa had for our dog that we are already having her watch jada next month for our trip. Thank you so much again. You really came through last minute and it doesn’t go unrecognized!!”
“Hershey had a wonderful stay with Ms. Sally. He got lots of attention, cuddles and walks. Daily pictures and updates on how he was doing was a great. I would definitely recommend and book with her again.”
“Incredible experience with Norma's service! From the initial meet and greet and throughout my dogs stay the experience was beyond excellent! I really appreciated the individual care and attention Snuggles received and the frequent communication and photographs of her activities. Highly recommend!”
