1. Eli O.

“Eli was amazing! He was very prompt in responding to all of my messages. What really impressed me was how Marley responded to him. My Marley can be very nervous with men because he was abused by a man but he never showed any reticence with Eli! Strange place, strange person, and my Marley walked in ready to go! I think he sensed in his doggy soul that Eli is truly an animal person and a gentle soul! I explained that Marley may not eat too much because he’s a nervous fellow and Eli immediately had solutions to help tempt him to eat. I’m so happy that I found him and will DEFINITELY be using him again when I need a dog sitter for my Marley.”

3. Brooke A.

“We actually forgot all of our dogs food/bowls/ect and Brooke was sweet enough to go grab it for us as we were running late for the airport. Brooke and her family are our dogs second family and we are so thankful for them!”


4. Sergio & Bethany P.

“Sergio, Bethany and the girls welcomed Tully into their home for a week while I was away and he came back a happy dog. Their home is very dog friendly with a fenced yard. I will definitely reach out in the future to see if they are available when traveling.”


5. Angela T.

“Angela and her family really care about the service they provide for your pets, they treat them like their own. We love all the updates with pics that Angela sends. I would highly recommend Angela.”




6. Kelly & Dahl S.

“Kelly was so great about communicating. I got so many videos and photos. Henry seemed so very happy the entire time. It was a great drop off and pick up. I can’t wait for Henry to stay with Kelly and Dahl again.”


7. Kaitlyn & Cody I.

“Amazing! Kaitlyn sent me lots of photos and videos while I was away. She was very communicative and nice. Her dogs are also very sweet so I'm sure Walter had a great time! Thank you!”


8. Alex V.

“Wow! Alex is wonderful! She truly cares about her dog guests. This was the first time leaving my dog with someone other than my daughter, and the first time ever being with more than one dog. I was extremely apprehensive and nervous, until I met Alex. She and her own dogs made me and my dog feel comfortable right off the bat. I knew that I could totally trust her with my boy. She sent me many, many pictures that eased my mind and I could see that my dog was happy and socializing. He got lots of attention, snuggles, and even slept on her bed and I got peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and some training tips. I am so grateful to have found her. Thanks, Alex! doggies are her life”


9. Barbara S.

“Received daily updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. They looked like they were having so much fun. I was a little hesitant using Rover, but I will definitely be using Barbara again in the future!”


10. Allie S.


“Allie was kind and considerate. She provided all the updates I requested and gave me plenty of pictures and videos that were much appreciated while I spent time away from my fur baby. Thank you so much, Allie!”


11. Joseph & Allison S.

“Joseph was amazing! Our dog is typically very timid around other dogs, but he went above and beyond making her feel comfortable and safe right off the bat. These guys are dog people through and through and I wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else after this experience! His home is perfect for dog watching, and he sent so many updates through our trip. It made me so happy to see our dog make herself at home. Even my husband noticed how much happier she seemed than the previous time we booked with someone else. I’ll be using Joseph from here on out!”


12. Jammie P.

“Jammie was great!!! I gave very short notice and was accommodated. Lucky had a great time because he came home and ate dinner and knocked out!!! Thank you!!!”




13. Julia A.

“This is his third stay with Julia- he always comes home so tired from playing and being well cared for! I love Julia and will always call her first!”


14. Vanessa O.

“Vanessa was great! Buster had a great time during his stay with her and her 3 pups. She sent tons of pictures and videos while we were away. Totally recommend her! Thanks again for taking care of our sweet boy!”


15. Alani B.


“Alani and her family took great care of my dogs. My oldest dog is blind and has diabetes. He needs insulin every 12 hours; nonetheless, Alani handled him very well. Both of my dogs typically come home after being boarded at a dog hotel with some weight loss, but with Alani that was NOT the case. 10/10 dog sitter.”


16. Corrie J.

“Corrie was really calm and easy going and seemed to be patient with Baloo. Messaged me right amount and showed me that Baloo had gotten comfortable with situation. Nice place with yard for Baloo to run around and couch friendly which was awesome. Thank you Corrie for last minute help”


17. Kaitlin S.

“Kaitlin and family were fantastic hosting my boy. This was my first time booking with Rover. Nearly immediate response to my availability inquiry after my neighbor kid told me last minute that he was going out of town and couldn’t watch my boy. I was able to continue with my travel plans and was put at ease. Many thanks & I will be a return client!”


18. Constance H.

“Constance was the best ! I left her with a shy timid dog and came back to a playful pup. She really treated him like he was one of her own . He was an apartment dog since I’ve gotten him and Constance took the time to walk him and get him use to being out doors. She also has an older dog of her own who was very gentle with my pup even though my puppy was annoying her to play . She also sends you updates without asking ! I can’t wait to use her again in the future!”


19. Kimberly B.


“Absolutely awesome! Kimberly was very easy to work with and took great care of our fur-baby Echo while we were out of state for a few days. She sent us photo updates often which made us feel our pup was in great hands. Kimberly has a big grassy yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and she always made sure there was cold water available. Definitely recommend her!”


20. Kyleigh G.

“Kyleigh herself has a calming, nurturing demeanor and a great husband and son that also gave Bailey lots of love. Her home is beautiful and very well kept. In addition there is a lovely gated patio where pups can sun bathe. She did an excellent job checking in with photos/videos and I felt at ease knowing my pup was in her care. I look forward to Kyleigh watching Bailey again and highly recommend her.”
