“Brian and Sheena were great with Charlie. They sent us pics daily and updates on how he was doing. We are grateful for their care of him. Also our plane was delayed, so we were an hour late picking him up. They were very understanding. We will use them again.”
“I have booked with dogsitters before, but Crystal was the first dog sitter that was sooo detailed throughout the whole process. When I booked with her, she set up a zoom call to go over everything regarding my dog. I was soo amazed. She sent pictures everyday and assured me that Dallas was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Nicole was amazing! She has been a great communicator, took pictures of my dog and some of those are my favorites of my doggo right now, and when she thought my dog might have an injury she let me know to call to see what I felt the next steps were. My princess looked so happy within Nicole’s care and she had fun with the other pups too. Thank you Nicole!”
“We went away for 9 nights , which is the longest we've left our dog! I was so anxious, but every anxiety was eased immediately! Cal and Kelly took such amazing care of our giant, spoiled chocolate lab! We got so many daily pictures and videos and could see how much love and attention he was getting ! I could really tell they were treating our pup as if he was there own and welcoming him right into their family ! They have a beautiful home and perfect yard! I am so thankful we found them and definitely will use every time we need a boarding place ! You can trust them 100% with your fur baby !”
“Cynthia was great! She sent photos and videos every day and kept me updated very frequently on how my Shuri was doing. She has a nice place in Northeast that made pickup/drop off very easy. I can tell the dogs had a lot of fun doing daily trips to the park and playing in the backyard.”
“I can’t say enough great things about my dog’s experience with Mark and his family. My very active Lab Mix came home from a week of boarding and took a nap. She played her little heart out while she was with Mark and his family. I received daily updates and pictures, which is very comforting when you are overseas during the boarding. I can’t wait to schedule my dog’s next visit.”
“Our dog Theo (King Charles Cavalier) stayed with Chad and his wife Regina while we were out of town. They were great! We had a meet and greet with Chad prior to booking and he was responsive and communicative from that time all the way through pick up. We got regular updates and feedback throughout his stay. Would definitely board Theo with Chad and Regina again!”
“Cori and her dog Bean were great as always! Cori unfortunately had to deal with my pup getting sick when she was with them but she handled it like a pro and kept me informed and updated the whole time. Very thankful to have someone so thoughtful and careful taking care of my baby for me. Thanks again Cori!”
“Abigail took great care of our aging fur baby. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. We definitely plan to reach out to her for future dogsitting!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Brett and Shane! They took such great care of our dog, kept us updated with regular messages, and sent tons of adorable photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using rover and leaving our 3 year old norwich terrier and 2 year old miniature schnauzer with anyone other than family members. After meeting Jeff and realizing his genuine love for dogs, we felt assured that he would be perfect for them. The care that Jeff provided for our two spoiled dogs was superb. He provided pictures along with detail updates that instantly assured us that he quickly had them feeling very comfortable in his home and it put our minds at ease. We will definitely use Jeff again, whenever we are in need for any of the services he offers. Thanks again Jeff for providing excellent care for our pets. Wayne E”
“Ares clearly had a lovely time staying with Haydenn! He was happy and tired when we picked him up. Getting a video of him making friends with another one of the dogs staying at Haydenn's was a lovely bonus. We'd absolutely ask Haydenn to watch Ares again.”
“Our dog loves staying with Jingchao and Yaxin! We love having the peace of mind that she’s being well taken care of and resting comfortably. We are so grateful for you both. Thank you again, until next time!”

“Nani was AMAZING!!! She sent pictures throughout the day, took Tootie out for walks and allowed Tootie to play with her dogs. I would absolutely book Nani again and recommend her to friends. Thank you so much!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and my first time using Jackalyn. From the start, she was helpful with answering my questions since I am new to the platform. The communication throughout this process was clear, and she was responsive. I never needed to reach out to her as she kept me up to date throughout the stay. I appreciate the love she's shown my dog and feel confident that she will be our staple sitter from now on.”
“Tasha was wonderful with Coconut and as a veterinary technician is very knowledgeable. She took really good care of Coconut and got her out on walks before I picked up which was greatly appreciated.”
“Nicolle was excellent! Very patient with Shadow as he adjusted to a new environment. She provided photos and updates during his stay. Definitely recommend and will book with her again.”

Venus was 😚👌🏾 Perfect!!! Very friendly, very professional, she was great with my dog Sienna, and Sienna seemed to be great with her. She sent text and photo updates throughout the sit so that I always felt connected with my lil furry girl and what was going on with her. She even made a great suggestion for how to get her to better eat her food, by warming it up! And I definitely intend to try. Venus also has a lovely home in a cool neighborhood, and I just totally felt comfortable having her keep Sienna for those several days. I even asked if she could keep her one extra day, which she quickly, graciously accepted. As I had some trouble with timing during both drop-off and pick-up, she also was extremely flexible and understanding, which greatly helped! And her roommate was also cool and great with my girl! Without question, would have her watch Sienna again. Highly recommended!!!! <3
Catie has once again exceeded my expectations. I had to leave my mom’s 18 year old dog with her, and I can confidently say that I left with peace of mind. Since Catie had already taken care of my puppy, I was confident that she would handle my mom’s older dog without any problems. She even took her for walks in a carrier, which was incredibly thoughtful. I can’t recommend her enough.
Destiny was an amazing Rover! It was obvious at the drop off that she was knowledgeable about dogs and how to handle them. She asked great questions and made sure to take extra care for Ellie and her reactivity. She also texted frequent updates with pictures during the stay. I highly recommend her!
Onnicka is always amazing with our pup! Beansprout is so happy and excited when we drop her off, and it makes it so much easier to leave knowing that she has a great time with Onnicka and her dog. And the daily pics and updates are always extremely appreciated!!
Jessica is a fantastic sitter and our dog Halley loves staying here. She gets lots of social time and also time to laze around in sunny warm spots too. Jessica has been very accommodating when work travel gets updated and we need to adjust timing, etc. I highly recommend booking with her.
Jeff has been an amazing sitter. We just can’t say enough about him and was a blessing finding him so we could go on a trip and not worry about our boys. They came back so happy and content and had such a good time with him. We’ll miss you Jeff when we have to leave. Thanks again for everything Jeff. You’re the best buddy. Murray, Monty, Mary and Matt
My experience with Ms. Gabriela, who watched Oli for a week, was excellent. I could tell she took great care of my dog, sending daily pictures and updates that put my family and me at ease. It was wonderful to see how happy and relaxed Oli was. Gabriela is very kind, lovely, and gentle with dogs. ****I highly recommend Gabriela, and I will definitely use her services again!***
Rita did a great job caring for Lilah! Lilah is nervous with new people but Rita was patient and let Lilah get to know her and they are buddies now! Lilah also had some issues with a former surgery site and Rita handled it with professionalism and care. Rita also took out Lilah multiple times per day and explored new places, keeping Lilah entertained during her 10 day stay.
Ademide was great with our 2 year old, anxious, but sweet, Bernedoodle. She was kind and patient- just what our fur baby needed. Ademide followed our instructions surrounding our dog’s special diet, walking, and sleep, routines. We will definitely book Ademide the next time we need boarding for our fur baby.
