“I boarded my dog with Barbara for the first time when I was out of town on a week long vacation. Ramona was very comfortable at Barbara's house and got along great with her dog Frankie! Barbara went above and beyond when Ramona got an upset stomach in the middle of the stay and needed to go to the vet. She was very attentive and noticed right away when Ramona started to not feel well, and recommended different vets to me when my vet couldn't get us in on the same day. She was very communicative with me during the whole time and helped to reassure me since I couldn't be there in person. Also, Barbara was very accommodating and welcomed Ramona to stay an extra night when I had flight cancellations and delays getting home. Knowing my dog was in a safe and caring place helped to ease some of the more stressful parts of travel. Would definitely recommend Barbara as a pet sitter!”
“We are so glad to have found Saniya to watch our dog, Blu. She and her family took such good care of him. We received updates and pictures from her regularly. Definitely recommend her.”
“Julie did a great job caring for my dog while we were away for a week. She has a very spacious backyard for dogs to roam and she’s able to give the care and attention your dog needs. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands when she needs boarding 🙂”
“Mckenzie took great care of our dogs and let them play with the other dogs after getting introduced. We got a good amount of updates and lots of cute photos!”
“Julie, Ben and kids provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town! Leading up to our first out of town visit, Ted had day visits to ease into the 5 day stay. Each time we pulled up he would jump out of the car and dart right into their home ♥️ For comparison, when we bring him to the vet he cowers in the car and we have to carry him in bc he refuses to walk. I have no doubt he was in excellent care and I’m so grateful we found this family for Ted. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Krista was so communicative and very adaptable to our needs. My dog Benji was having issues marking and she had a solution right away and made sure it was okay with me first, which I greatly appreciated. She sent over so many photos and videos of both my dogs which I loved seeing while away. I have two dogs with two different personalities and they both seemed to be comfortable right away and was so tired when we got home. Overall they had an amazing stay with Krista and would definitely boon with her again.”
“Anika was outstanding and exactly the reason why we use Rover. She let us come for a meet and greet before our trip, and provided daily updates on how our dog was adjusting. It was clear that he was enjoying himself and making himself at home, which gave us the peace of mind to really relax and have a great vacation. Anika was the perfect hostess and we would go back to her without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking great care of Sampson!”
“Molly, Doug and Eddie🐾 are simply the best! Molly sent pics of my pup from day one and continued throughout the week which meant so much to me. I feel very fortunate to have found Molly for my first Rover experience. I would recommend her to everyone I know and definitely book her again!”
“River has set up an absolutely perfect and beautiful space for dog day care and boarding . She has an enormous and impeccable yard, very securely fenced, with lots of balls and toys. The dogs there all seemed happily engaged in play, and my dog seemed delighted to be there. I boarded my dog for 4 days, got daily photos and videos, and my dog came home happy and, amazingly, tired (he never gets tired). My dog clearly took a shine to River and her lovely home,. I look forward to bringing my dog back to River's place the next time I need dog care.”
“Jessica and Grant took wonderful care of our golden retriever while we were away. They sent frequent updates and photos and gave her lots of exercise. She was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would gladly use them again.”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Our pup made herself right at home and was well cared for by Joayne and her kiddos. Easy to communicate with her and convenient pick up on the home from the airport. I would be happy to have our pup stay here again!”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Leaving Mabel with Brooke for the first time felt so comfortable. She treated Mabel as her own and Mabel was happy to have the company of her dogs. We received updates along her stay and you could always see Mabel looked quite at home. Brooke’s updates let us know Mabel was loved and cared for while we were away. So glad we found Brooke!”
“Amy was amazing with our dog Reggie! She sent photos and updates so we never had to worry how he was doing during his stay. Reggie came home happy and tired. We highly recommend Amy and will definitely book with her again!”

“Christina goes above and beyond. She is a wonderful cat sitter. This is clearly more than a job to her, you can tell how much she loves animals. Sometimes she even stays longer with our cat even though she isn’t expected to. Truly amazing. We are so grateful we found her & will continue to use her as a sitter for our cat.”
“Anna was INCREDIBLE! She shared extremely detailed updates every day along with a ton of pictures. Anna is a good communicator and did a great job taking care of my cat!”
“So grateful for Rachel’s dedication to taking care of my cat and birds. She’s very conscientious and a great communicator. When she’s there, I know my little brood is in good hands and am able to really enjoy my get-aways worry-free. Love all the pics too!!”
“Ben took care of Scotia like she was his own cat. She was relaxed and calm when we got home after several days, and I know it's because he had a calming effect on her and took amazing care of her. I will definitely rebook with Ben when the time comes to travel next!!”
“Clara has done an amazing job with my boys! She kept me informed with their shenanigans and tended to additional needs to ensure my place stayed clean and secure. Definitely recommend her services!”
“Highly recommend! It was obvious from the fabulous photos that Gabriella made my cat feel extremely comfortable and cared for. Her in-depth reports gave me immense peace of mind while I was out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Hannah was very patient and communicative caring for our 3 cats over the Christmas holiday. We are very grateful for her help and professional care and the love she gave the kitties!”
“Carla did a great job looking after my cat. She was extremely responsive to questions and directions and sent lots of pictures, so I knew he was well taken care of. I hadn't used Rover before and was a bit nervous, she did a great job putting me at ease and I'll definitely be checking her availability if I need a pet sitter in the future.”
“Amanda is great! I appreciate the detailed and fun rover cards, her easygoing attitude, and most importantly that she took excellent care of my cats! One of my cats requires a daily oral medication, and Amanda let me know how the administration went each day, and that eased my anxiety while being out of town.”
“Josephine jumped in at the last minute and gave amazing care for my cat who needs regular prescription food and fresh water, and for our outdoor bird feeders and bird baths. She followed my directions to a T and kept in constant communication regarding her activities, complete with photos each time, as well as regular updates regarding my cat’s ability to urinate (the issue he struggles with). She even offered to dispense meds if needed. Thank you so much, Josephine. You’re an awesome caregiver, and I was able to have a worry-free weekend with my granddaughter and her dog💝”
“Lauren was great to work with and very communicative! We felt comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Beau, and will definitely book again if we need help in the future. We loved all the pictures we received too!”
About: Hi, I'm Kayla! I’m an experienced cat sitter who has been caring for cats for friends and family for more than 10 years. I love that every cat has their own personality, and I enjoy earning their trust and helping them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have also volunteered with cats at the Humane Society, where I worked with cats of many different personalities, including shy cats, nervous cats, and cats who need extra patience to warm up. I’m calm and attentive and let cats move at their own pace so they can feel relaxed in their own home. I have experience giving cats medication and caring for cats who need extra attention or medical care. In college I cared for my organic chemistry professor’s diabetic cats and administered their medication while he was away. I have also given medication to other cats I’ve cared for over the years. During visits I make sure food, water, and litter boxes are taken care of, and I spend time playing with or keeping your cat company if they’re interested. Sometimes they just need somebody sitting in the room with them. I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can see how your cat is doing while you’re away. I have two cats of my own, Merlin and Kronk, so I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet. I’ll do my best to make sure your cat feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
“Rob was amazing, very punctual and very good with my cats. He did great with administering a pill to my kitty, twice a day. Highly recommend, and would want him to take care of my fur babies if I had to be out of town again.”
“Jessica did a great job watching our cat and taking care of our fish and plants. We got some great photos of our cat while we were gone and Jessica made us feel like our home was in great hands while we were gone.”
“Joanna did a great job checking in on my kitty Peaches. She reliably showed up as promised, communicated well, shared pictures and my cat loved her. She was good at telling with Peaches was in the mood to play or in the mood to cuddle and gave her all the love she craved. I will definitely have Joanna look in on Peaches again in the future. Highly recommend.”
About: Animal lover here, excited to care for your pup! I have experience with many breeds and can't wait to share adventures on our time together! I work 8-5 mainly with a shorter workday Friday. I have weekends off and I am looking to spend some time keeping your animals company. Typically don’t have a long lunch, but can potentially be flexible if needed. Grew up with dogs around me and have plenty experience watching peoples pets. Love following list of needs so they feel most comfortable when they aren’t with their parents!
About: I love having dog friends around and so does my little dog Boo Boo. My dog is 17lbs and loves to play. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks or brushing up on any training that needs to be done. I typically walk my dog 3 times a day and can accomodate more if needed. I also have a fenced in backyard that your dog is welcome to roam around in. I live 10 minutes from the airport which helps for easy drop off/pickup if you are traveling by plane. I know how special our dog friends are so I hope to treat them like part of the family when they are here. Dogs are such special little creatures and I'm so grateful we get to have them in our lives. I currently work at home 3 days a week and in the office 2 days a week. Adjustments can possibly be made if needed. If I'm watching your dog, I would plan to be home most of the time during their stay. I have a fenced yard and dogs are allowed to roam free in the house unless other needs are required. If your dog needs to be crated, I have a small kennel that can be used, otherwise a larger one will need to be provided. Dogs are expected to be potty trained unless they are still a puppy.
“Lindsay is a great pet sitter. She sent us many pictures and gave detailed updates when we were on a long overseas vacation. We appreciated her attention to detail when we were traveling. We will definitely book Lindsey again!”

“Jen is an absolute rock star! She definitely understands dogs and pack behavior. She basically has her home/yard set up to accommodate dogs—plus she expertly monitors her pack (she has a few of her own dogs and then takes in 2-3)- Trust me when I tell you that she is attentive and aware of their interactions and play styles and she keeps them occupied throughout the day with interactive toys and enrichment activities. I am extremely impressed and confident that she knows how to make a great daycare environment for dogs! My pup had so much fun and was extremely tired after spending the day at her house. Don’t get me started on all the pics and videos and updates she shared throughout the day! And she sent us on our way with home-made dog treats! Add to that an extremely reasonable rate when it’s so expensive out there -and I give her an absolute overall A+ I’m excited to share this review but also kind of want to keep it a secret so she won’t get too overbooked for us in the future!! 🤷🏻♀️🤞😊”
“Mckenzie was great! Moxie was obviously very happy there and went straight to bed when she got home! Thank you so very much! Mckenzie was super responsive to any questions! Denise and Jonathan”
“I've worked with River a couple times now. She's a fantastic person, very accommodating, and my dog Drake always comes home happy and worn out! Her dog Luther is very sweet. She surprised me by sending a video of the two of them playing in her yard. She's outstanding and I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”
“Krista is the best! She sends more photos than any other Rover we use. My dogs get so excited when we pull up to Krista's house! We will continue to have Krista watch out pups.”
“Dana was available at the last minute when something came up and we needed a sitter. Riley gets along great with her dogs. We really appreciate having a trusted sitter to count on.”
“First doggie sitter for our Harper and did we score big time!! Alyson is amazing. Harper came home happy and tired. It must have been a great time!! Thanks Alyson.”
About: The Best Part of Both Our Days After 20+ years in the corporate design leadership world, I am soft retiring and putting my reliability, commitment and energy into helping others and bringing happiness to their pets. With 10 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I don’t just show up. I show up for your dog, on their terms. Every dog is different, and I believe in honoring that. Whether your pup likes to stop and sniff every inch of the sidewalk or prefers a brisk, energetic stride, I walk at their pace because a great walk isn’t about the distance, it’s about the experience. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, making sure every single one enjoys their walk, gets the attention they deserve and takes care of their business. From the energy of a curious puppy to the gentle needs of a senior dog, I understand that every stage of life comes with its own needs and I embrace all of them with patience and care. But it doesn’t stop at the leash. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s a relaxed afternoon cuddle on the couch or an enthusiastic play session with their favorite toys. I take the time to learn what makes each dog feel happy, safe, and loved. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a dog walker or pet sitter. You’re giving your dog their favorite part of the day and honestly, mine too. What I offer: •🐾 Dog Walking at your dog’s pace, never rushed •🏠 Pet Sitting calm, attentive and home-like •🎾 Playtime & Chill Visits toys, attention and all the love •🐶 Puppy & Senior Care patient, experienced and always attentive Your pet is family. I’ll treat them that way! I work a flexible part time schedule three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m happy to work around your routine and adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs because your peace of mind matters just as much as their happiness. Whether your dog is most comfortable in their own home or joining me at mine, they will always receive the same attentive, personalized care. At my place, they are welcomed into a calm, quiet home with a fully fenced yard and a friendly 5 year old 25lb Australian Labradoodle who loves making new friends. Your dog’s comfort and happiness always comes first, wherever that may be.
“My 6 month puppy was way happier when we picked him up after his daycare with Atheyana, the next day after that he spent all day sleeping which means he was playing a lot under her care. I will definitely rebook with her soon. 😊”
About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
“Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!”
“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”

He was really nervous at first when we were dropping him off but by the time we left him and got to our next destination, I already had a video and an update that he was fitting in just fine. All of my worries were gone at that point. We would definitely rebook with Wendy again!”
“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child, providing them with food, ensuring their environment is clean, and attending to their needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, cleaning up after them, taking them on walks, engaging in playtime, and offering affection and comfort. I am passionate about creating a nurturing and loving environment for pets. I am currently seeking part-time work and would love the opportunity to care for pets full-time, as it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I provide tailored care for pets based on their individual needs, whether in my home or a client's home. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have clean water, and receive appropriate exercise through walks or playtime. For dogs, I ensure they get plenty of outdoor time and mental stimulation, and for cats, I make sure their litter boxes are kept clean and they are given affection and entertainment. I always prioritize safety and comfort, creating a calm, welcoming environment for the pets I care for. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure the pet feels at ease while in my care.
“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Paul picked up Abby right on time, and reported that her walk and play time with Nessie went splendidly. The pictures were a great addition. We schedule a redo this week.”

“Ben was absolutely fantastic! He walked our 150lbs Great Dane, Walt while we were out of town. We got detailed notes everyday which put us at ease. We’d gladly have Ben back to walk our dog! (Walt also loved Ben and gave him lots of cuddles & licks!)”
“Jess is fantastic. Having two dogs can be chaotic, but Jess is great at making sure they behave. She's very responsive and keeps me up to date with how everyrhing goes. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life, and can’t think of anything more joyful than having animals around to play with and love on. I work full time from home, and have flexibility to take lots of breaks during the day. We love going on walks, hikes and have two children who also love to help out! We are set up with a crate and/or dog beds if needed, as well as all the other gear that goes along with having furry friends around.
“Joanna walked our pup twice a day for five days while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and my mom told us by day two Toad got excited every time Joanna came by. Really appreciate her professionalism and care for our boy!”
About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.
“Can’t recommend enough! Carla has been super great with Gertie. She has been flexible, communicative, and has been open to help when there’s been last minute scheduling changes. Thank you, Carla!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have also helped raise and care for other people's pets. I would be happy to take your dog on walks, potty breaks or for overnights. I can also visit your cat and give it love and attention when you're away. We have a 16lb dog ourselves who is very dog friendly. I work from home so I am available any day from 8am - 7pm for walks or potty breaks. If your dog prefers running we can talk about running as an option! I have a fenced in yard with a fence high enough for small and medium sized dogs. Our 16lb 5 yr old dog is very dog friendly.
About: Going on vacation or up to the cabin? Energetic, experienced & caring teacher off for the summer, ready & willing to do cat & dog care & dog walking all from your home. I’m open to other pets, as well. I previously ran a doggy daycare for several years from my former home. I took care of a wide variety of breeds with great reviews. Our family also had our own awesome dog, a golden-lab mix we raised from puppyhood to age 12. My current pet is a sweet & cuddly Nebelung breed cat I’ve had for 5 years. I’m organized, reliable and give gentle and compassionate care to animals of all types. I live in the Minneapolis area. Willing to travel within the metro region. Note: Unfortunately, I cannot take pets into my tiny condominium home. I’m happy to come to you! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
“Jessica is a wonderful dog walker! Our pups are excited to see her every time she comes. She even goes above and beyond and occasionally brings our packages inside when she comes by. We recommend her services highly!”
About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!

“We are so glad to have found Saniya to watch our dog, Blu. She and her family took such good care of him. We received updates and pictures from her regularly. Definitely recommend her.”
“Julie did a great job caring for my dog while we were away for a week. She has a very spacious backyard for dogs to roam and she’s able to give the care and attention your dog needs. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands when she needs boarding 🙂”
“Mckenzie took great care of our dogs and let them play with the other dogs after getting introduced. We got a good amount of updates and lots of cute photos!”
“Julie, Ben and kids provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town! Leading up to our first out of town visit, Ted had day visits to ease into the 5 day stay. Each time we pulled up he would jump out of the car and dart right into their home ♥️ For comparison, when we bring him to the vet he cowers in the car and we have to carry him in bc he refuses to walk. I have no doubt he was in excellent care and I’m so grateful we found this family for Ted. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Anika was outstanding and exactly the reason why we use Rover. She let us come for a meet and greet before our trip, and provided daily updates on how our dog was adjusting. It was clear that he was enjoying himself and making himself at home, which gave us the peace of mind to really relax and have a great vacation. Anika was the perfect hostess and we would go back to her without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking great care of Sampson!”
“Molly, Doug and Eddie🐾 are simply the best! Molly sent pics of my pup from day one and continued throughout the week which meant so much to me. I feel very fortunate to have found Molly for my first Rover experience. I would recommend her to everyone I know and definitely book her again!”
“River has set up an absolutely perfect and beautiful space for dog day care and boarding . She has an enormous and impeccable yard, very securely fenced, with lots of balls and toys. The dogs there all seemed happily engaged in play, and my dog seemed delighted to be there. I boarded my dog for 4 days, got daily photos and videos, and my dog came home happy and, amazingly, tired (he never gets tired). My dog clearly took a shine to River and her lovely home,. I look forward to bringing my dog back to River's place the next time I need dog care.”
“Jessica and Grant took wonderful care of our golden retriever while we were away. They sent frequent updates and photos and gave her lots of exercise. She was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would gladly use them again.”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“Amy was amazing with our dog Reggie! She sent photos and updates so we never had to worry how he was doing during his stay. Reggie came home happy and tired. We highly recommend Amy and will definitely book with her again!”
“Amanda and Leif was absolutely wonderful! They welcomed Boba right into her home and even let him sleep on the bed, which he loves and helps him feel totally comfortable. He got plenty of walks, lots of playtime with her little boys to keep him busy, and he came home tired out, happy, and clearly very well-loved. Amanda was also super communicative and sent lots of photos throughout his stay, which really put us at ease since it was his first time staying with her. We definitely will be using Amanda and her sweet family for future stays!”
“A+ experience! Helga was quick to respond when I initially reached out to her and communicative the entire time during Piper’s stay, sending picture updates. Helga’s little Tilda is also a sweetheart. I highly recommend Helga!”
“Ashlie and her family were very good with our sweet, older, blind dog. They read & followed instructions I left, provided updates, and kindly accommodated special requests. Allen was relaxed when I picked him up, which is special because he isn’t relaxed if we put him in a commercial pet boarding facility. We feel very lucky to have Ashlie and her family look after Allen.”
“Our dog, Gus, has stayed with Doc now on two occasions, one shorter stay and one 10 day stint. Both were phenomenal! We enjoyed getting the picture updates on Gus each day, and were able to enjoy our vacation much more knowing he was well taken care of.”
