“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative throughout the entire two weeks and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog really liked her and felt comfortable in her care. Amanda took such great care of her, and I’m so glad we found her. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew did a wonderful job sitting our two dogs. One of our dogs is elderly and needs regular diaper changing while our other dog took some time getting used to being away from us. Andrew provided frequent updates, photos, and videos. My elderly dog needed emergency medical care and Andrew didn’t hesitate in taking the dog to the vet where he received prompt treatment and recovered quickly. It’s easy to see that Andrew really loves dogs and enjoys looking after them. He has a calm, kind demeanor and was able to constructively handle a few difficult situations caused by my dogs. I would certainly have Andrew sit my dogs again. I trust Andrew and he treated our dogs as if they were his own.”
“Radha & Bart were great hosts, Pebbles had a fun time with them! We enjoyed the cute photo and video updates and felt she was in very capable hands. Would definitely board Pebbles with them again!”
“Our dog has separation issues & is often a little picky about his friends, but he settled down with Rodnie & her pups nicely for the weekend. Rodnie allowed him to feel at home...... sleeping on her sofa!! She sent us an update so we were ensured all was well. We have already booked him again with Rodnie for his next stay!”
“Chad is a wonderful host to our 40lb catahoula, George. George and Pixel get along wonderfully. Nice space, good fenced in backyard. Chad goes above and beyond. His love for dogs truly shows.”
“Had my original sitter fall through a couple days before my trip and Mina and Antony were super kind enough to plan a quick meet and greet with Riddim and I a day before my trip. Mina sent me photos multiple times throughout the day while I was away and Riddim looked super happy and well taken care of. It was my first time using Rover, and safe to say I found the people to take care of my doggo should I ever need them again. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Our girl was so happy staying with Cathrin for the holidays! It was her first long visit away from home and Cathrin provided excellent care and communication throughout the entire visit. Highly recommend.”
“Omg Bekah is absolutely amazing great communication and loved on my baby 🥰🥰 took such cute pictures of my princess 👑 both of my babies will see you in December!!!! Thanks again 💕”
“Sarah is so amazing with our dogs! One is super high anxiety and he gets very comfortable at her house! It’s a blessing to not have to worry about him as much when we are gone.”
“As usual Carmen is amazing! I wouldn’t trust my Oscar with anyone else. He is elderly but I have full trust and comfort that he’s okay when he is with Carmen. I went out of town a few weeks ago and he stayed with Carmen and then this time I made a mistake and drove past the house when dropping him off and he started whinning! He loves it there which makes me extremely happy. Thank you Carmen!”
“Zora took amazing care of our dog Kona. She provided lots of pictures, videos and updates and we knew he was in good hands. He got along well with her dog, Zara, too. Would definitely rebook!”
“Shevell and her family were great. The entire family was involved with taking care of our pups! Her husband and three boys were great and Shevell was amazing! We had daily pics and the pups were happy. Thank you so much!”
“Came back from our trip to a very tired, very calm pair of pups (which is a feat if you know our guys). Felt 100% at ease leaving our pups with Jerika while we were out of the country and the communication was great!”
“If I could give Jeff & Jirapun more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving our Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute for an entire week while we were on a cruise was something I was incredibly nervous about. From the moment we met Jeff & Jirapun, they made us feel completely at ease, and they exceeded every expectation we had. Throughout the entire seven days, they treated our dogs like members of their own family. They sent us daily updates filled with pictures and videos, which meant the world to us while we were away. Seeing our pups happy, relaxed, playing, and getting so much love allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying for a second. It was obvious from every update that they genuinely cared about our dogs and loved them as much as we do. They paid attention to their personalities, made sure they were comfortable, and gave them so much affection and attention. When we picked them up, our dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and we are beyond grateful to have found Jeff & Jirapun. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such incredible care of our babies—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Jordan was amazing. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos. Which made me not feel so bad on not being able to take Oreo on my trip. Oreo had so much fun. After picking him up he was looking for her. I will totally take Oreo back with her in the future.”

“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”
“Ashley (Cash) was awesome! She did an exceptional job with our three fur babies that can be hard to handle sometimes! But they all loved her! She did a very good job at keeping us updated with our babies and sent plenty of pictures! We look forward to reusing her again in the future!”
“Mell is nothing short of amazing! I know our cats will be taken care of and she also gives us updates on our house too. I always appreciate her care and looking out for not only our cats but our house too.”
“Kellie was absolutely phenomenal. The moment Kellie came over to meet my pets, a good two weeks before my travel, I knew my fur babies would be in trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable hands. Kellie made sure she understood the needs of both my animals and understood what was needed to make sure they felt safe and loved in my absence. Kelli checked in with me multiples times a day, letting me know what was going on. She also went above and beyond what was required of her, from making sure my garbage cans were on the curb for pick-up day to watering my plants. If you are on the fence with using Rover to care for your pets while you are traveling or at work, I get it. I was too, but rest assured that will Kellie your cherished fur babies are safe and taken care of, and your home is not at risk.”
“Tinisha was great with our pups for drop in visits in our home. We had to be away from the house for the day last minute and I was so relieved to know they were well taken care of with the great updates and pics. Thank you!”
“We had a lovely experience booking Andrea. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of our kitties. Andrea was very thoughtful and gave our cat his medicine even when we were about to be home so we had one less thing to do after a hectic day. I would definitely book again if our cats needed watching ☺️”
About: I have enjoyed my life around numerous animals of all backgrounds. Growing up in the north granted me the privilege of owning huskies and training them for years!

I love being around cats as well and have owned cats my entire life! I am available any day, anytime! No morning is too early for a check in or walk and no night is too late. Your pet’s schedule is my schedule! I respect security and privacy! The care of another persons home is sacred and I would only want someone else respecting my space as well. Let me know if you have any concerns about the environment your pet will be in!

“Amiah was fantastic! She took great care of our cat,which was obvious from our cat’s behavior when we returned. She sent daily pictures and updates, and when we came home, the trash was emptied, the kitchen was clean, and her sheets and towels were in the washing machine. I will definitely hire her again!”

“I left my Australian Shepard with Isabelle for daycare for two days, as I was dropping him off for the second day he was so excited to see Isabelle which I knew it meant he was in good hands. Isabelle was always responsive and gave me updates while he was with her. She also took him along for their daily walk which I appreciated. Thank you again Isabelle!”
About: I'm an animal lover! I always had animals growing up; having cats & dogs. Also had a guinea pig, a chinchilla, several birds, a turtle, bunnies and bearded dragons. Our furbabies are like our children! I am a professional petsitter, fostering dogs & cats, training them and rescuing animals. Currently, I have 4 cats (mine) & 2 bearded dragons and 1 small dog (mom's). I have experiences with seniors and blind furbabies. I also have experiences dealing with flight risk, severe anxiety pets and oral medication as well as injections. **DROP-IN VISIT** I live in Taylor, I can travel to Hutto, Granger, southeast of GT, East of Round Rock, Thorndale and Coupland. **BOARDING - Requirements: * Non-aggressive/low/medium energy (must be ok with other pets) * 100% house-trained includes trained to not chew on household items * Current on all vaccinations and flea prevention * Male felines must be neutered I ask you to provide food and bedding for your furbabies because every pet is different, has different lifestyles and eating/sleeping habits, toys. I have plenty of bowls and plenty of crates (XS, S, M, L, XL & XXL) including a 3 tier crate (for cats) if needed. My schedule is flexible, I'm almost always home. If weather permits, I enjoy going out for long hikes or going to parks/neighborhood for walks. ** Boarding & Housesitting - I'm available 7 days a week. The potty break/meal schedule is flexible on my end. They can go out often for potty breaks, to explore, fetch, and enjoy the sun as they please. Also, will provide outdoor play with engagement of other pups and can do some training as well. ** Housesitting - I will spend the nights with them. Sometimes I will be away for a few hours unless you instruct me for a specific time, such as how long it is ok to leave your pets alone, I will follow your preference. They are welcome to tag along for the ride if they enjoy car rides. -- During my free time I volunteer as a pet rescue member with Trapping, Rescue and Pet Recovery Service (TRAPRS), a non-profit organization. I have been with TRAPRS since they were founded in 2019. When I'm scheduled to pet sit, I will not be available to do a rescue. Only time I'll be away is if someone is able to secure an animal, Ill be out for a quick scan for microchip or if I'm scheduled to drop-in to visit other clients' homes. (I want to be transparent about what I do). I know it can be stressful leaving your family member with a stranger, but you can be confident that your furbaby/ies will be treated as one of the family; given plenty of love, hugs, belly scratches, treats, play time and walks during their stay. I have a fenced yard for your pup(s) to explore, do their business, enjoy the fresh air & flirt with the sun, and play fetch. I will send photos and videos of your furbaby having a great time! You are welcome to reach out to check on them at any time. They will be in good paws!
“Jax seemed to have had a fun time spending the day with Jordan and her pets. Jordan was great at sending me updates and pictures. Jax will be staying a few days with Jordan in the near future so it was great for them to spend a full day together getting to know each other.”

About: I'm a veterinary technician, I have 20 yrs experience in taking care of dogs and cats. I am CPR certified and I can administer medications if needed. Besides my medical background as a animal lover, I can offer great companionship to your best friend while your gone. I currently have a 7 month old Australian shepherd who loves to play and can also offer friendship. I've been taking care of my friends and family's pets while they go on vacation since I was 19 yrs old. I'm confident in my ability to take care of dogs. I'm currently not working and staying home with our kids and animals. I walk our dog in the morning then hang out the rest of the day, my kids play with our dog. I live on 5 acres but we have fenced off an area behind our house for our dog and goats. I have a plastic kid pool to help them stay cool in the summer. I typically feed my pets twice a day and a treat mid-day. My house can get pretty loud with my kids yell and screaming when then play. My kids are 10 yr (son) and 9 yrs(daughter) old, I have a husband who loves to play with the kids and dog, it can get a little crazy at our house. I also have a 7 month old mini Australian shepherd, she is a shy girl at first but then gets crazy when she decides she likes you. I have 5 cats some like dogs and some tolerate them and just judge. I also have 2 goats in the backyard, they are very nice but will give a warning if something happens that they don't like. All my pets have vaccines and have been dewormed.
“We took our two boys for a day outing, as we are leaving them with Candi for a week while we are out of town here in a couple weeks and wanted to make sure they were familiar with her and her place before we leave them for that long. They had a blast…I know because they were pooped when they got home! We are looking forward to knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of for our future trip and I know they will be excited to go back! Candi was also VERY responsive to my messages, which I highly appreciate! Definitely the best doggie resort!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was child and absolutely love animals. My kids have developed the same passion. We love taking care of animals as a family and have a few rescues of our own. Tito is our chihuahua who loves other small dogs. Our cats, Binx and Lizzie are tolerant of dogs and are use to having them around. I’m a stay at home mom to three kids. Except for the occasional outing or trip to the grocery store, we are just about always home. We have a very large fenced in back yard, so your pup will have plenty of room to play. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I hope that you consider us to care for your fur babies. ❤️ Pickup and drop off is by appointment only. You can make an appointment for between the hours of 8am-6pm. Your appointment window cannot be greater than one hour. If you miss your drop off window by more than 15 minutes, the booking will be cancelled, and no refund given. If you are more than 15 minutes late picking up, you will have to reschedule your pickup time, if that means your pet stays another night, then you will be charged for an additional night plus a $30 inconvenience fee. I understand that things happen, and will work with you when unexpected events arise, but I’ve had too many people not respecting my time. I thank you for understanding. (: I follow care instructions completely. I give each animal one on one attention throughout the day. I treat them like they’re one of my kids. My children are very respectful of animals and are never left unsupervised with them.

About: Hello, I’m Brad! I cannot wait to spoil and pamper your dog. I am a small business owner who works 100% of the time from my home office. Additionally, my mother, who is retired, is home all day too. Dogs visiting my house will be treated as family members. Home full time, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. My home, near Hutto Elementary and Middle Schools, is in a new, quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking trails nearby. My yard is spacious with new grass and a covered patio to provide both sunny and shaded play areas. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 44 lbs. It would be $35 for a dog weighing 45-94 lbs. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!
“Skia who doesn't like to stay away from us and with other humans and dogs in our absence, loves to hangout with Mark and she is super happy to be with him and his dog (like a second home). Mark takes great care of the dogs and even feeds them when he feels they are hungry without a second thought. Great experience sending our pup to Mark's place !”
“Some of the best doggie sitters out there! Our older little Paco has had a wonderful experience staying with Radha and Bart. Very professional and super attentive! Lovely people who sincerely look after our dog, and send lots of pictures and updates, which we appreciate so much. Highly recommended!!”
“Brandon watched my 4 month old pup for the day and did a great job. As soon as I dropped her off she was running and playing. Brandon was easy to communicate with and the drop off and pick up was super simple. I’d definitely book Brandon again when I’m looking for someone to watch my husky pup.”
“We absolutely love sending our dog to Chelsea’s for daycare. She treats our dog like her own and has the sweetest puppy that plays so well with ours.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, as my family always had dogs while I was growing up. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, from medium-sized dogs to my own large Husky back home.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going outside, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Dogs tend to feel at home with me, and I always treat them like part of the family. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for and spend time with your dog throughout the day. I also usually stay in town on weekends, so I’m available for weekend care and boarding. My home is dog-friendly and has a large, secure backyard where dogs can play, explore, enjoy some fresh air, or simply relax. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and gets plenty of attention while staying with me.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel

About: I have been working with Rover for over 5 years. My 13-year-old lab crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, so I do not have any pets in my home and we do not take more than one family at a time. Animals are the best part of our world and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and cats. I also volunteer for PALS, a program under Meals on Wheels, that provides food for animals in senior homes. I loved to walk my dog and would be more than happy to provide dog walking services to others on the weekends. I work weekdays, but am available before 8am after 5 pm and can provide services on Saturdays & Sundays. I cannot wait to meet your beloved pet. I currently work weekdays, but can devote time after work and weekends. I can utilize lunch breaks to check on pets and nights and weekends for more one on one time. I own a home with a fenced in yard for my dog. I will do anything and everything to ensure your animal’s safety and happiness.
About: I've had animals since I was a girl and haven't been without a pet since I was 10 years of age. Have had multiple dogs and cats at one time but now down to one 13-yr old male. Will always love and have pets as they are an integral part of my life. I derive much joy from their presence. Daily walks and attention to my own dog and look in on friend's dogs when they're away. My dog has his own bed for daytime but sleeps in my bed at night. I have a good sense about animals and will follow the routine they're used to. I love to connect with any animal if they want it and will give cuddles and rubs for comfort and love ❤️
About: I’m new to the rover app but, I’m not new to taking care of fur babies! While growing up we always had pets. When I left for college I got a puppy because of how much I missed my pups at home. I potty trained him all on my own while also juggling being a student athlete. I want to help out the best I can, so put me to work:) I am a part time hitting coach in the evenings so, I will have plenty of time to help you with your fur babies. I am off every weekend. I can take your pets on walks or play fetch to get them moving. I also can sit and just love on your pups whenever you are at work or away for a bit.
About: I’ve been a big dog lover since I was practically born! I love all kinds of the dogs, the big, the small, the crazy, and the shy ones! I’m good with medicine and scheduled feeding sessions! I’ve taken care of dogs that have medical issues, such as seizures or joint issues. I can handle the hyper puppies and cuddle the lazy senior dogs❤️ I’m ready to treat your dog with love and patience! Hi! My name is Faith and i’m 20 years old. I work part time right now so i’m free to care for any animal during the day and night! I work at a horse ranch between 3-6 pm during the weekday, so I can be with your dog all day! I do have dogs of my own but they will always stay home! When house sitting or drop in visits, I will make sure everything is safe during visits or outside time! I’m good with crating dogs or doing whatever they need to feel safe around me
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals, my own and others, since I was very young. I am comfortable around all dogs- I’m happy to take care of puppies, as well as older pups, who need their own TLC. If you entrust me with the privilege of looking after your fur baby, I will love them as if they are my own! I am happy to make drop ins/potty breaks/walks with your pup as needed. I am mostly available weekdays from 7-5pm but if needed, we can work together to find a schedule that works for your fur baby, as I can be flexible. I can work according to your needs. When caring for an animal in your home or mine, I will always be extra careful with opening and closing doors, to make sure no dog becomes an escape artist! I can feed, bathe, give medication, etc, as needed. Any special instructions, I am more than happy to adapt and learn how best to take care of your animal. When I come to care for your animal, I devote my time to loving them.

About: I have worked with small dogs and big dogs and nervous dogs- I have owned my own doggo (a shih tzu bichon mix for 10 years) since I rescued her from a poodle shelter. I have worked as an assistant training emotional support animals at a rehabilitation facility (: I would love to hang out with your doggo babies when you need me! I am an early riser and work part-time in pet care. It is my primary job- I have regular clients that are my own aside of rover so my calendar on app may be inaccurate.

We have 1 budgie, 2 cockatiels, 3 dogs, and 2 kittens!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through being a pet parent myself. I currently have two dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, routines, and energy levels. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has been a huge part of my everyday life for years. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same patience, love, and care I give my own.

I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and other care with plenty of flexibility, including weekdays and weekends! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets! I’ll always follow their normal routine as closely as possible, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, and all the little things that make them feel at home. I’m very attentive to safety, will keep you updated, and will treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Brooke is amazing! She is so good with my pups. They are young and maybe a little wild, but Brooke is so patient with them. I have absolutely no worries when they are with her. I think they may enjoy walking with her even more than me! :) Brooke has been flexible and is very dependable. So glad we found her!”
About: I grew up on a 100-acre ranch with 13 dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I helped raise numerous litters of puppies, which taught me everything from feeding schedules and socialization to house training and keeping a close eye on the little ones. Today I regularly watch my friends’ pets and care for my grandparents’ two dogs — feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are my favorite people, and I treat every one like my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home the majority of the day and your pup will rarely be left alone. My schedule is flexible, which means plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to whatever routine your dog is used to. The house is quiet and calm, which works well for dogs who prefer a low-key environment. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your dog is treated like family. We have a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff around safely. I have a mini blue heeler of my own who’s great company for social dogs, and I’m happy to keep visiting pets separated if yours does better solo (only have her occasionally). I stick closely to the feeding, medication, and walking routine you provide, keep dogs leashed on every outing, and send photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m comfortable using one for rest or bedtime.
About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of my dogs. Throughout college I had many roommates with cats and grew a love for them as well. Growing up I used to make treats for animal shelters and had a dream of being a vet. Since I’ve realized how much of a dedication vet school is, this seems like a fun way to incorporate my love for animals into something part time. :) I love cardio and am always down for a morning, afternoon, and even night runs. I love to go to scenic spots and enjoy being outside. I am in between jobs right now, so I have open availability for any pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and one 14 year old West Highland Terrier. She is extremely spoiled, but loves new friends. We love to play fetch and play in the yard. The extra baths are worth our fun times outside together lol.

“Chad is a wonderful host to our 40lb catahoula, George. George and Pixel get along wonderfully. Nice space, good fenced in backyard. Chad goes above and beyond. His love for dogs truly shows.”
“Had my original sitter fall through a couple days before my trip and Mina and Antony were super kind enough to plan a quick meet and greet with Riddim and I a day before my trip. Mina sent me photos multiple times throughout the day while I was away and Riddim looked super happy and well taken care of. It was my first time using Rover, and safe to say I found the people to take care of my doggo should I ever need them again. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Sarah is so amazing with our dogs! One is super high anxiety and he gets very comfortable at her house! It’s a blessing to not have to worry about him as much when we are gone.”
“Came back from our trip to a very tired, very calm pair of pups (which is a feat if you know our guys). Felt 100% at ease leaving our pups with Jerika while we were out of the country and the communication was great!”
“If I could give Jeff & Jirapun more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving our Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute for an entire week while we were on a cruise was something I was incredibly nervous about. From the moment we met Jeff & Jirapun, they made us feel completely at ease, and they exceeded every expectation we had. Throughout the entire seven days, they treated our dogs like members of their own family. They sent us daily updates filled with pictures and videos, which meant the world to us while we were away. Seeing our pups happy, relaxed, playing, and getting so much love allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying for a second. It was obvious from every update that they genuinely cared about our dogs and loved them as much as we do. They paid attention to their personalities, made sure they were comfortable, and gave them so much affection and attention. When we picked them up, our dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless, and we are beyond grateful to have found Jeff & Jirapun. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such incredible care of our babies—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Jordan was amazing. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos. Which made me not feel so bad on not being able to take Oreo on my trip. Oreo had so much fun. After picking him up he was looking for her. I will totally take Oreo back with her in the future.”
“Cynthia was awesome! From our first communication to pick up, she was very kind and responsive. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We could tell Sophia was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Both of our pups felt at home immediately after we walked in and enjoyed their stay. Definitely recommend Brandon and frankly I felt that it can natural for Brandon around pets.”
“Maddison and Wesley B. are our first Rover experience. As a single mom with my family living far away I came to Rover.com in search of a solution for my sweet Bella dog over Thanksgiving Break. When we brought Bella to them for our first meet and greet, I was nervous that she would be anxious. I couldn’t have been more surprised at how wrong I was. Bella, our mini-bernadoodle, walked strait into their home like we were visiting an old friend. Their dogs greeted all of us as if we’d known one another for years and Bella instantly felt right at home. On drop off day, I was like a mom ar daycare for the first time, sad and nervous. Bella, however, hardly noticed I was leaving. We received one to two photos every day. Bella always looked happy and cared for. When we picked Bella up, she was very happy to see us. The love rush was amazing. Maddison and Wesley are excellent communicators. They were reasonably flexible with the drop off and pickup times. Their home was well cared for. And above all, we felt safe and comfortable leaving our furriest family member with them for a week. I would recommend them to my friends and I would use them again.”
“Heather took incredible care of our puppy, Dobby, for two weeks while my wife and I were on vacation. From day one, it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, patient, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Dobby got plenty of playtime throughout the day with her two dogs and the other dogs she was caring for, which he absolutely loved. He came back happy, well-socialized, and clearly well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates that we genuinely looked forward to and that reassured us Dobby was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was in such loving hands allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worry. We’re extremely grateful to Heather and would trust her again without hesitation. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog like family.”
“Guiselle and her family took great care of Simba. Communication was excellent and I received regular updates and photos. Simba came home happy. I highly recommend Guiselle and will definitely book with her again.”
“Shane took care of my two dogs for 2 weeks while I was out of the country. He sent me pictures and updates of the puppies every single day. He was just amazing and my dogs love him now. I highly recommend his service. He is great!”
“Leslie was an amazing sitter for our dog. She was kind, energetic, caring and loving towards Elysian. She gave us regular updates while we were away and kept us in the loop on everything. We will definitely be keeping Leslie in mind for our next Rover sitting needs :)”
“Sara and her family took such great care of our two dogs. They communicated very well, sent pictures, and really spent time with both of our dogs while we were away. Both dogs came back happy, healthy, and tired. Will definitely be regulars with future travel.”
