“Allison is a wonderful caretaker and the sweetest human to boot! My little spoiled poodle felt so at home and happy at his extended stay with her that I don't think he even missed his mum and we couldn't be more grateful for her expert and caring help!”
“Ricky takes care of our boys like his own. He lives a little far away, but I don’t mind driving there because I can go do my things with peace of mind when my kids are with him.”
“Wendy is absolutely wonderful. I have a special needs dog who is extremely anxious and also incontinent, and she has been incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating every step of the way. This was my first time using Rover for boarding, and Wendy made the experience so much easier—always quick to respond and understanding of all my concerns. She truly takes the time to get to know my dog’s needs and never makes me feel like any request is too much. I fully trust her with my dog and highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and reliable care.”
“Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size”
“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”
“I dropped off my two dogs with Tiffany and felt very comfortable. She is so calm and good with animals, that I knew, even though one of my dogs is very skittish, it would work out. My dogs played with her gentle lab and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the week. The fenced in yard and that Tiffany is home during the day are huge pluses. Definitely will use Tiffany in the future.”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”
“Triba took great care of my Shih Tzu for a week. She sent me photos and even took him to the dog park. She walked him a couple of times a day. Thank goodness for her, I was able to vacation in peace. ?”
“Dyan ensured that Deuce was safe and comfortable in her home. She provided me with daily photos and updates which made me feel at ease knowing that Deuce was in good hands. I will definitely continue to use Dyan in the future and recommend her services!”
“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”
“Anita took care of my two dogs Rylan, a one year old husky mix, and Vandy a 12 year old pitbull this past weekend and honestly they couldn't of been in better hands. I picked them up on Sunday and they didn't even want to leave. They had obviously received so much love and attention and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much Anita!!!”
“Ji Ah and her husband were both great! I received pictures and updates every day while I was away. Duke already misses them and their lovely dogs. Thank you Ji Ah, you are amazing!”
“Ah man, where do I even begin!? Sophia was incredible!! We arranged a meet & greet where our pup Oz got to meet her and the lovely Darla. It was a perfect fit. Our other sitter who was familiar with the parents of Oz (DOOM & Space) unfortunately had to cancel the day before and as crazy as it seemed to watch 3 Cane Corso’s at once, she did that! We are eternally grateful for Sophia for being so accommodating so last minute and really make our babies feel comfortable and loved. She sent detailed updates throughout our time away and awesome pictures. Highly recommend Sophia and Darla! We can’t thank you enough 🫶🏽”
“Nancy was amazing! I think we hit the jackpot having her as our first sitter using the app. She was diligent, caring, responsive, and such a warm spirit. I’d recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️”
“Trenton was fantastic! He took great care of Delilah. Regular updates, including pictures and videos. I would absolutely hire Trenton again, and highly recommend his services to all pet parents.”
“Le'Andra was so incredible. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous because my dog can be anxious and high energy. But he trusted her instantly and clearly enjoyed his time with her. Le'Andra sent me frequent updates with pictures and videos every day, and it put my mind at ease. I would definitely go with her again, I highly recommend her to anyone.”
