Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.

Fathia was so awesome! She took such great care of Thelma and welcomed her into her family! She was warm and attentive and fun and was so joyful having Thelma with her. Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Estela and her family! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they provided daily updates and photos, and followed every instruction with great care and attention to detail. This was our first time leaving our youngest behind, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in such loving hands. It was clear when we picked them up that both Gianni and Valentino were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Their behavior spoke volumes about how comfortable they were during their stay. We even ended up extending our trip, and Estela was incredibly accommodating. We’re so grateful for the exceptional care and will definitely be using their services again in the near future.

She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!

I could not be more thankful to have found Malvi and Andrej. About a week before my pup was supposed to have her first stay w them, my dad was rushed to the ER. I reached out to see if they could take her- basically immediately. Not only did they take her in, they offered to keep her an extra day when I needed to stay longer and sent regular updates and photos of my girl having tons of fun that brought me joy in a difficult moment. While their kindness is in front of mind- they also have a super safe environment, great yard, and sweet playful pup. Big thumbs up ??

I had a great experience with this sitter! She picked up and dropped off my puppy, which was incredibly convenient. It was obvious he had an amazing time—he came home completely pooped and went straight to bed! I loved knowing he got to meet a new friend and play all day, which is exactly what he enjoys. She communicated in a timely manner and gave me updates whenever I asked, which I really appreciated. She is kind, caring, and trustworthy. I will definitely be booking with her again.

Our best Rover.com experience yet! Jeneffer and her family were such wonderful hosts to Oliver and Lulu, and she totally "got" my quirky dogs! When I came to pick them up at the end of their 6 day stay, typically nervous Lulu was as comfortable as if she were at her own home, and Oliver who is pretty much comfortable anywhere, had clearly been loved and snuggled all week. They were so happy I almost felt bad taking them with me! We can't wait for our next stay with Jeneffer and family!

Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!

With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!

I was really concerned about my fur baby because she’s never been without family, EVER! We met Paula and her daughter at our arranged meet and greet which went well. When I dropped her off her her new friend on Friday, I told her to be a good girl and she looked back at me and turned running off with her new friend. They contacted us everyday, gave us updates with photos. I really think it was a good experience for both of them as well as myself. I will definitely rehire Paula and her wonderful family as my permanent sitter! 5 Stars ⭐️

Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!

Emma and her family took great care of Deuce. They stay in good communication with me throughout his whole boarding visit. She sent pictures, loved on him and treated him like her own. Every picture he looked calm, peaceful and was enjoying his stay. She updated me even before he went to bed so that I felt comfortable while he was away. I would recommend Emma and I will be using her services again.

Pamela a delightful sitter! Took great care of my dog Nyobi who is high maintenance scaredy cat 🙀 but Nyobi quickly adjusted which shocked me after 5 years with other boarders! Such a fun and lovely time hanging out with Pam at drop off and pick up was great experience for me too! I will definitely use Pamela as often as I can for both doggie day care and boarding!
