âLisa was kind and capable and asked all the right questions. Her house was tidy and ready for a wandering pup. She saw that my dog was feeling antsy at the start of his visit and took him for a walk to help him calm down a bit. She was easy to schedule with and got back to me quickly in general. I will definitely be booking additional stays with her!â
âThank you for your patience and love, that was given to our little Luca. It warmed our hearts to see him smiling, which tells me he was happy. Ms. Sandy is highly recommended!!!!â

âDon sent us lots of pics which was very appreciated. Heâs conscientious about everything and great with dogs. I could tell my dog had a great relationship with him when I came to pick him up. His dog is also a great influence and became good friends with mine over his stay. We will definitely contact Don again.â

âLajetta took such great care of our pup noodles while our family went on vacation. She treats our pup not just like a dog but like a little human! She provided a luxurious room for our pup with plenty of toys and walks. I loved seeing all the pictures she sent us everyday and always responded promptly to any messages I sent. Noodles got to socialize with other small dogs her size which was wonderful. Gotta to admit a little jealous how much my puppy loves her in such a short time.â

âHeath and Amy were wonderful! They took great care of Eloise and were patient and attentive to her timidness with new people. I appreciated the communication, updates and photos. Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.â

âOur pup took to Juan shortly after meeting him and she usually takes time to warm up to strangers. It was clear that he was patient and really listened to her needs. She had a great weekend. Loved the photo updates that Juan shared too. Would use him again.â

âAs always, Peter took excellent care of Loki. Regular photos and updates made our time away from Loki, less worrisome. Peter was sharing details about Lokiâs food (picky eater) and took for walks regularly. Loki misses Peter after reaching home , thatâs the level of care Peter provided for Loki đđ Thanks so much Peter.â

âBarry and his dog Shakka are just who we were hoping for. Our active dog seems to have had a really good stay. We got updates with pictures from Barry, that showed us a happy dog. We will be using him again when we canât take our pup with us. Thanks Barryâ

âDebbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friendâher sweet black lab, Sammyâwhich made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Canât recommend her enough!â

âAmber and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobby! He was obviously very comfortable and received a lot of love and attention while there. The photo and video updates gave us a lot of confidence to relax, knowing he was in great hands and having his own vacation!â

âBrett and Angela were able to accommodate a last minute change to our travel plans and we are so appreciative of their flexibility and helpfulness. I loved the daily updates that were informative and included cute pictures. We'd love to book with them again!â

âFreddie had a wonderful time with Christine and Steven. We got regular updates with beautiful pictures of our doggo every day. It was obvious he was a happy boy under the loving attention provided by his sitters. Our Freddie is an old guy who can be slow to warm up and be animated. Under Christine and Steven's kind care he blossomed. We are so glad to have had their eyes on our sweet Freddie. Highly recommend!â

âNancy took great care of my Ollie and was very responsive while I was away. She even did some training with him while she had him. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.â

âElizabeth was a fantastic dog sitter for my sweet, sensitive girl! She sent fun pics during my trip and reassured me that Hannah was adjusting well to the family home and enjoying lots of cuddles and walks. I highly recommend Elizabeth to take great care of your pup.â

âPeanut had another great stay with Taylor and Liv! She's able to fully relax with them and enjoys spending time with them. It's such a relief to know she's with people who genuinely care about her and enjoy her company.â

âDawn was great! We did an initial meet and greet to make sure my dog was comfortable in her house and around her dogs. She sent plenty of status of updates and pictures while watching my dog and my little guy was in great shape when I picked him up. Would definitely use again!â

âKatherine did a great job watching Mason while I was on vacation. She kept me updated and sent pictures every day I was away. Would definitely reach out to you again!â

âJocelyn was great! We ended up having to change dates and she was flexible which was so nice! Our dog is always happy to spend time with Jocelyn and her two pups! So thankful weâve found her!â

âCarissa was amazing! I needed somewhere for my pup to stay last minute, Carissa was able to watch her on short notice, was super easy to coordinate with, and sent cute photo updates. And Hazel had a great time! I would book Carissa again in a heartbeat!â

University Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great first time booking with Brittany! She was always quick to respond and kept us in the loop with lots of photos and updates. She was also extremely proactive about an issue with our dogâs paw that she noticed and went above expectations to help to manage the issue until we returned. Will definitely rebook again in the future!

Peter took very good care of our 2 dogs (one puppy and one senior dog). They got plenty of love, exercise and playtime. We got very nice personalized daily updates with photos. You can tell he genuinely cares and loves dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! It's an added bonus his son lives with him and was able to give them attention too.

Lajetta took such great care of our pup noodles while our family went on vacation. She treats our pup not just like a dog but like a little human! She provided a luxurious room for our pup with plenty of toys and walks. I loved seeing all the pictures she sent us everyday and always responded promptly to any messages I sent.

Rover is a fussy dog and maybe a little spoiled. Juan was courteous and thoughtful and contacted us when Rover's physical conditions and behaviors would change. He kept us updated with Rover's progress until they subsided. Rover was a bit distant at the beginning, which is our dog's nature, Juan was able to draw her out of her shell and became more interested in paying with Juan and he earned her affection. We will use Juan for our next trip where we cannot bring Rover.

Annika, John, and Pepper were great! We boarded our dog for the first time with strangers and he was understandably a bit anxious (and so were we). But they were great hosts and very responsive and extremely responsible. Pepper was a gracious host. Felix had a great time overall!

Jocelyn was wonderful, creatively ensuring that Benny took his medication and that he felt comfortable and a part of the pack. She sent photos every day and gave me updates, communication was outstanding. Thanks so much for taking care of my little man! 100% would use again!

Anni is the best! She took incredible care of my reactive dog and was so understanding about his weird needs. Her house has a great fenced backyard for lots of play. Sheâs super responsive and sent lots of sweet pics and videos of my dogs time with her. Will 10000% book with her again and recommend to others!

Jessica and Jascha were amazing pet sitters! My frenchie has skin allergies and has to take lots of different medications and they were great about taking care of him. They also sent daily updates with photos and videos. Iâm sure Rocky will be seeing them again sometime in the future :)
