“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”
“Tonya did a remarkable job watching our dog! She was attentive to our dog's needs, was in great communication with us throughout his stay, and I had peace of mind knowing my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Tonya!”
“Kelly did a great job watching Charlie over the 4th of July. He was very happy throughout his stay. I appreciated the pictures and updates over the holidays. We would definitely book with Kelly again.”
“Cassie took care of our two mad Airedale terriers for ten days and they came home happy and healthy. We are grateful for the care she gave them, and the great pictures she sent. Cassie is now our go-to sitter, no question!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”
“Our dog was well cared for and loved while he was with Nicole and Derek. We appreciated all of the communication and photos we received. When we got home our dog was tired and happy.”
“My dog had so much fun running around Paula’s yard and playing with her own pups while I was out of town for a week. She is truly a dog person and I felt confident that he was in good hands. As a bonus, I was so happy and relieved to receive updates from her and photos throughout the week so that I could see that he was having fun and doing just fine. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Jenny and Andy are great! Great communication and updates. They really put us at ease and it’s clear Shiva was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible!! She was very friendly and very flexible!! She communicated so well, I truly enjoyed all the pictures & videos!! I would recommend Felicia to everyone!! We are looking forward to using her again in the future!!”
“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”
“Amazing people!! Julie and Jon are so kind, and took care of our dog for over a week. They treated him as if he was their own, and sent updates so we could see how he was doing. We were so impressed that we booked again before we even finished our vacation! So happy to find a great family that loves and cares for animals, and is so trustworthy!”
“We were very happy with our experience with Jenny. She did a great job communicating. From the beginning she was quick to respond and asked lots of questions to make sure she provided the best care for our pup. During his stay she sent detailed updates with pictures. Our dog got along great with her dog and they had a lot of fun playing together. She took good care of our dog while we were away. We would use her again.”
“This was the second stay for our standard poodle and we already feel like we are dropping him off with family! The pictures and video they send tell us Beau not only feels at home, but is having the time of his life! They have so much fun with him and him with them. Thank you John and Teri! You guys are amazing. ❤️”

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie took excellent care of our senior cat. Stephanie befriended our shy but super social cat during the meet and greet — she has the gift! I’m so happy our cat has a new bestie and I can confidently travel knowing she’s happy and cared for. Stephanie kept track of her eating and bathroom habits, and shared updates so we could adjust her meds. I loved the detailed daily updates and photos. I have the next visit booked already!”
“Leann was our first experience with a pet sitter from Rover. She showed up every day right on schedule, made sure they had their food, water, and medicine, They also got some play time and human companionship. Leann even got one of the best photos of one of our cats who is notoriously difficult to photograph. We'd book her again.”
“Valerie was outstanding! I have used Rover for years, and she is by far the most exceptional caregiver I've had. Valerie was highly motivated, resourceful in befriending my cat and kind. I was incredibly impressed with Valerie!”
“Mark did a remarkable job...so remarkable that I think KodaBear misses him! He sent pictures or videos with every visit and gave him all his medications with ease. I will, without question, be asking him to take care of KodaBear again in the future. Thank you, Mark!”
“Leslie was very prompt and professional in her response to our request. Our dog was very comfortable with her right away, and so were we. She communicated well how the in-home visits were going, and we would definitely recommend using her for dog care.”
“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”
“Rory exceeded every expectation I could have had while cat sitting. I am an over-protective cat mom and didn’t worry, not even once about my babies. He went above and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for more or better. I absolutely, 100% recommend Rory- u will not be disappointed.”
About: Hi, I’m Johanna! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including those with special diets, medical needs, and activity restrictions. Because of that, I’m confident in providing both loving companionship and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I share my home with my dog, Hank, who absolutely loves being around other dogs. He’s gentle, friendly, and always happy to have a playmate. Whether your pup is high-energy and looking for fun or prefers a calmer, slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is to give every dog the same love and attention I would want for Hank. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid work schedule so if you’d prefer me to be home while watching your dogs that can be accommodated. For the days that I do have to go into the office it is within 30 minutes and typically is only for 3-6 hours per day. Though I do not have a fenced in yard I believe in taking my dog Hank on multiple walks throughout the day to supplement this! We do have a grassy area across from our driveway that I love to throw his ball for him at so if your dog is good off leash there are ways to get exercise around. There is a dog park within 15 minutes of my home and I love taking my dog there and your dog can tag along if you’d like!
“Mandy was excellent with my two kitties! They were well fed, well brushed, and well taken care of the whole time we were away for the holiday! I loved the daily pictures of Mandy having play time with the kitties. Would most definitely hire her again.”
About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little! I am an animal lover. I have had dogs my whole life, my family has 2 labs and they are my world! I love taking dogs for walks, runs, and playing fetch! I helped with training both of our labs! I feel exercise and attention is very important for a dogs health and well-being. I love to spoil all dogs and make sure they know they are loved and cared for! I am currently only working weekends, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pup! I am open during the day throughout summer M-F. We have an invisible fenced yard and I am always keeping an eye on my dogs, especially if they are outside! If I am walking the dogs I make sure their leash is attached at all times! I am a very trustworthy person. I am always taking the best care of my pups. I feel that safety and trust is very important when caring for animals.

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”
“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
“Cassandra was wonderful ! Stella loved her. The photos Cassandra texted us are beautiful. She is a professional at photography. Awesome. We will be back ! Thank you !”
About: My pet/house sitting adventures have taken me across the country, from Oregon to Hawaii to South Carolina. I have cared for a variety of breeds and personalities, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks and routines. Our family absolutely loves animals, but we do not have any of our own. We love welcoming special guests into our home and giving them 100% of our love and attention while they’re with us ❤ We also enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, where they may feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and special care instructions, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks to medication administration. We’re a blended family with one child (age 14) who lives with us half the time, and two children (ages 8 and 4) who are here full-time. They're gentle and very respectful of animals, and they love to help when families and pets are comfortable with it. Depending on your preferences (and your pet’s comfort level), my kids may join me for some or none of the time. We’re flexible and will prioritize what helps your pet feel relaxed and loved. Thank you for your time! I’ve worked remotely for 14 years, which gives me the flexibility to provide care either in my home or yours. I’m typically available on weekdays and many weekends, too. We do not have a fenced-in yard, however, our family loves to spend time outdoors and go on walks. We would love to include your pet(s) in our adventures, if you're comfortable with us doing so!
“Jessica and Jacob were amazing sitters! Very friendly and professional. My pup went to their house for daycare for a few days and had a great time with their family. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child. I am a caretaker by nature after years of working in healthcare. My significant other is a dog lover himself and has experience training labradors and helps out with animal care a lot since he works a lot from home in the garage. I work part-time 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) otherwise I am home with my 2 year old and 13 year old boys. I also have a playful four- year-old yellow lab female. She has become very socialized and loves having her fur friends over. We do have a fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom so perfect for giving your pet all the love and attention they need. I am also available most weekends. I have a fenced in yard. We have a three year-old female yellow lab who is fixed. I can also leave her home with the family if care is needed at your house, I do have a one year-old who is attached to my hip most of the time.
“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Our dog Aggie had a great time with Julie! When we booked, she asked if Aggie would be ok having another dog around. We said Yes and the two Cockapoos had a wonderful day together. We appreciated Julie being willing to take on a second dog since we were asking last minute.”
“Mike is the most amazing dog sitter ever he takes such good care of all the dogs in his care. My Finn is very shy and has medical needs and Mike has been just the best about helping with everything so thankful we found him. Finn loves comimg to see his friend Mike.”
About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.
“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Cate and Tim are awesome! They agreed to a quick meet and greet the day before watching Riley so when I dropped her off for the day she was right at home at their place. Riley made herself right at home and had lots of fun with the end result being a happy worn out pup. I got updatesnduring the day and great pictures of Riley that I could see that she was having a good time. I would definitely habe Cate and Tim watch Riley whenever I'm back in the area and need a sitter!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for most of my life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. My own dog recently passed away, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and patience every dog deserves. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I follow your dog’s routine closely so they feel at home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I can administer basic medications if needed. Flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays” I’m happy to help with: • Doggy Day Care • Overnight care If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and will care for yours like their own, I’d love to help! I have a full-time job, but I’m typically home by around 1-3PM each day. My husband works part-time in the evenings, so there is usually someone home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I’m available for afternoon/evening visits, overnight care, and flexible on weekends. In my home, I have a backyard for fresh air and potty breaks, but since it is not fenced, dogs are always kept on a leash and supervised at all times to ensure their safety. Inside, I make sure they are comfortable, well-rested, and get plenty of attention and playtime.
“Excellent service! Lorena was extremely warm and attentive with our puppy, who is only 11 weeks old. We felt at peace leaving our furry baby with her. She is also very knowledgeable about puppy development and gave us the requested tips. Will definitely request her services again.”

About: My family dog passed away in 2024, since then I’ve filled my doggy-shaped hole by volunteering at Coco’s Heart (dog rescue) and house/dog sitting for families in my area. I work from home, so I’m able to give your animals their much-deserved attention throughout the day! My experience ranges from young puppies just brought to rescue, teenage dogs, to senior dogs, all needing special attention in their own ways. I am punctual with medications, meals and bathroom breaks. I currently work from home, and while house sitting am able to provide around the clock care. For walks or part-time, my schedule may vary slightly. Maintaining and respecting my client’s home is of upmost importance when caring for pets. Keeping not only their environment clean and safe, but the owners as well is important to what I offer. Whether it’s expected or not, I will leave the place the same, if not better than you left it. I strive for frequent communication and avoid outside environments that may stress pets out.
“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”
“Our dogs all loved Paula during the meet and greet and we could tell she is a kind person and a big animal lover! She was very accommodating around our schedule. And she took a lot of pictures and provided a detailed update on our older dogs and our new puppy. Highly recommended!”
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for
About: Hi! My name is Bri and I am a stay at home momma who can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pups! 😊🐶 I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups! I am a stay at home momma so I have a lot of availability and flexibility all week long for boarding, daycare, check ins, etc.! I am available for pick up/drop offs between 7am-7pm I have a large yard with a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pet company!

About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as well as attending university, so my schedule may be busy, but I am more than willing to work around it to accommodate for proper pet care. My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel. I typically do not care for pets in my own home as my dog is picky about which dogs are around and I don't want to put anyone at risk. I am happy to come to you!

She has become very socialized and loves having her fur friends over. We do have a fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom so perfect for giving your pet all the love and attention they need. I am also available most weekends. I have a fenced in yard. We have a three year-old female yellow lab who is fixed. I can also leave her home with the family if care is needed at your house, I do have a one year-old who is attached to my hip most of the time.
About: I am 53 years old and i love animals. I have raised my kids to love animals too. In fact, they want to save every animal on the planet that needs saving. I have three dogs Handsome, Kobe & Franky and have been blessed with many dogs in my life since i was a teenager. I have experience pet sitting for all dogs, cats, rats, Fish, chickens and turtles. I would be happy to love your pet when you cannot. I can help with walks and exercise, drop in visits for feeding and potty breaks, and i am available to stay in your home to house sit as well if that is a requirement. I am honest and responsible and available if you need help. Please let me know. I work from home so I am home all day. Pets can chill with me and my fur babies or I can work from your home if Wi-Fi is available. We have a dog park at the townhouse complex plus open field to play fetch. Also provides a great space for exercise and potty breaks.

“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”
“Kelly did a great job watching Charlie over the 4th of July. He was very happy throughout his stay. I appreciated the pictures and updates over the holidays. We would definitely book with Kelly again.”
“Cassie took care of our two mad Airedale terriers for ten days and they came home happy and healthy. We are grateful for the care she gave them, and the great pictures she sent. Cassie is now our go-to sitter, no question!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”
“Our dog was well cared for and loved while he was with Nicole and Derek. We appreciated all of the communication and photos we received. When we got home our dog was tired and happy.”
“My dog had so much fun running around Paula’s yard and playing with her own pups while I was out of town for a week. She is truly a dog person and I felt confident that he was in good hands. As a bonus, I was so happy and relieved to receive updates from her and photos throughout the week so that I could see that he was having fun and doing just fine. I would definitely book with her again!”
“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”
“Amazing people!! Julie and Jon are so kind, and took care of our dog for over a week. They treated him as if he was their own, and sent updates so we could see how he was doing. We were so impressed that we booked again before we even finished our vacation! So happy to find a great family that loves and cares for animals, and is so trustworthy!”
“We were very happy with our experience with Jenny. She did a great job communicating. From the beginning she was quick to respond and asked lots of questions to make sure she provided the best care for our pup. During his stay she sent detailed updates with pictures. Our dog got along great with her dog and they had a lot of fun playing together. She took good care of our dog while we were away. We would use her again.”
“This was the second stay for our standard poodle and we already feel like we are dropping him off with family! The pictures and video they send tell us Beau not only feels at home, but is having the time of his life! They have so much fun with him and him with them. Thank you John and Teri! You guys are amazing. ❤️”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
“Carman and her family were great with our 1yr old lab mix. He was so calm when he returned home. He enjoyed the walks and playtime. We appreciated all the photos she sent us.”
“Lisa is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about who I would find. Lisa and her boys are dog lovers that do Rover to get their dog fix since they travel and no longer have their own dog. She is a runner and Lola came back exhausted from the walks. I feel so lucky to have found Lisa and cannot recommend her enough!”
