“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures, and made him feel at home! I highly recommend! Thank you for the experience!”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“Kim and Tom are THE best . We’ve had many stays and all have been great . Processional/ Reliable and Safe . Poppy and Dudley the Pugs LOVE coming for visits and can’t wait for the next one .”
“First time using Monique's boarding service and it was great! We had two dogs stay with her and they were well cared for. Especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility!”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Really enjoyed working with MJ. He's flexible, accommodating and responds promptly via Rover. My dog has had limited exposure to cats, so really appreciated the time MJ took to introduce Brooklyn to his cats and ensure they were ok. Brooklyn came back tired (tired = lots of fun = happy) and seemed to have had an awesome time.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Angela and her family have watched our dogs a few times, and they've always been in goods hands with her. She is very responsive and keeps us regularly updated with pictures and updates. Thanks for being such a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Maria & Nayibe are the BEST Sitters! It was so comforting to me to see daily videos and notes every day. They always answered all my questions and I could tell they really cared. I could see that my puppy was so happy and comfortable. He had exercise every day running around in the yard and playing with the other dogs. He had been having some eating issues at home and Maria knew just what to do to improve them. He even gained weight there and outgrew his harness. They had a brand new harness for him when I picked him up. I will definitely use them whenever I go away. I cannot say enough good things about them.”
“Where to start??? Jessica is awesome!!! She made my first time using Rover a very comfortable experience. I have a Min Pin named Cairo that happens to be energetic and super clingy; naturally I was worried about him being a hyper menace but I was relieved to hear from Jessica a day in that he was settled in and already having fun. The updates I were provided were timely and appreciated - always good to know your baby is safe, happy, and well taken care of. I provided Jessica with everything she might’ve needed to ensure a good stay for Cairo and she followed everything to the T! I can’t continue raving about how great Jessica is with the pups. I am extremely pleased. Cairo will be back to hang out with his new friend!!”
“Leaving our dog with Auria (overnight) was our first experience with Rover.com and it was great! She messaged us with photos and words of assurance that our dog was having a great time with her dogs and doing well. She also replied quickly to our messages before and during our dog’s stay with her. Thanks Auria!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Thee Best Sitter out there. Partner has stayed with Doreen many times now. He loves it there. He's always excited. Doreen is just the kindest person you'll ever me. She treats our pets as if they're her own. Cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you so much.”
“Gabriel was great, my poppy had a great time with him and his puppy Mel. Lots of playing and wrestling, and Gabriel was great about sending pictures/updates all weekend. 5 Stars!”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”

“Travis was fantastic!! He helped me out with a few drop in visits with my cat over the weekend and had such a calming presence where my cat instantly felt comfortable with him. It's clear Travis is very experienced with cats, and he also followed all of my feeding and care tips/instructions perfectly. Would highly recommend Travis to anyone who needs a cat sitter - you will not be disappointed!”
“Angela took great care of Ginger and Tricksey during her daily visits. She followed their routine, kept everything tidy, and made sure they had everything they needed. She also noticed and handled a few thoughtful extras, which I greatly appreciated. I felt confident knowing my cats and home were in such attentive hands.”
About: I have pet sit for a number of family and friends growing up. This is just my first time dabbling in an official pet-sitting service. I am a reliable, transparent sitter dedicated to the health and happiness of your pet.
“Danny was so great with our cat while we were away, and was helpful in taking care of a few house sitting things as well (mail, thermostat, etc). He was flexible and was able to do a few unplanned visits for us when our plans changed and also just to check more frequently on our cat as well. I had pretty specific instructions laid out as my cat is a little needy, and Danny was very receptive and understanding - didn’t seem phased by it at all! My cat has had issues when we are gone in the past and after working from home during COVID we were nervous but we had no issues and clearly the time Danny spent with him was just what our little guy needed. Kind and respectful, highly recommend.”
“Ilene stepped in on short notice to take care of our 4 cats, did a great job once again. Very responsive and caring, even dealing with a barf situation. Great communication, love the pics! Highly recommended!”
“Kim was such a pleasure to work with. We met prior to the booking and found out she lived within walking distance of us! It gave us peace of mind knowing she was so close and got along well with our kitties. She provided daily updates which was so fun to receive as we loved the pictures! We would recommend Kim to anyone and will book with her again!”
“Jan was great!! Super friendly- sent me pictures of Milo. I will definitely schedule again with her and recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! Thanks:)”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
About: I have watched friends and neighbor's pets for years and decided to sign up with Rover. I love all animals. I have 1 dog and 1 cat, and they are family. I will walk, love and play with all pets staying with me and follow instructions given by their owners. I can watch puppies that are really like toddlers or older wiser members of your families. I am comfortable giving medications if needed. Most will sleep on my bed and yes, they are allowed on my furniture, but they are welcome to sleep or nap wherever they would like. I want you to go on vacation knowing they are happy and having a vacation of their own. I have a morning routine which includes a long walk, depending on temperature, playing in the yard with my dog and another walk usually late afternoon. Walks include walks around my neighborhood and also at parks. While your dog is in my care, I will not be going to any dog parks with them. I will have our dogs meet prior to accepting a job. They can play in my yard and once we are both comfortable with their meeting, we can schedule a time for drop off or pick up. While in my home they will be treated with love and respect. Walks and playtime throughout the day. They are allowed to sleep or hang out wherever they would like.
“Rachelle was a very nice, considerate and tidy sitter to have in my home. She let us know all was well and responded quickly to our texts. When we returned home Kikki came downstairs to greet me and went and sat near Rachelle ‘s feet. So she was definitely Kikki approved.”
About: I have taken care of cats of every age nearly my entire life. I currently have 3 long-haired cats with all very different personalities! I am knowledgeable in cat body language and how to respond to certain cues a cat is showing me. I am a big fan of using Fear Free tactics to gain the trust of any cat I interact with!
About: We have cared for our neighbors dogs and cats, family members and of course our own fur babies. We have fed, with special diets and followed schedules for feeding. We have bottle fed and also of course we give treats. Everyone needs treats! We have bathe puppies and partially groomed them. We love to teach new tricks and take longs walks. We love to play with them and give them the attention they need. The hours listed are the hours that I am home, as well as my teenagers. We're home daily so there will be more than enough love to go around. We have a flexible schedule. We have a large open wide yard for your fur babies to play and do activities. We also have a friendly fur baby to keep your fur baby company.
About: I've loved cats for as long as I can remember. My first pet was a cat named Cindy, along with her sister, Soncy. A few years later we adopted a tabby named Oliver. I grew up with Cindy & Soncy for about 15 years, and once we adopted Oliver, we have had him for 10 years. I currently do not live with the cats anymore, now that I have adopted a dog. But I am very familiar with the everyday care that cats need, including feeding, litter boxes, playtime, affection, and giving them space when they want it. I know that every cat has a different personality and that some want constant attention while others are happiest doing their own thing. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, make biscuits, or simply have some quiet company, I am happy to meet them where they are at.

“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
“My 4 month old puppy had a fantastic morning with Auria and her 2 dogs. Elliot was able not only to socializie with adult dogs, but also a soon to be 4 year old grand-daughter. Sounds like my puppy did very well -- now I can add that to his Rover profile!! Auria's dogs did not bark at Elliot when we arrived and were very relaxed, yet full of energy, and friendly to our puppy. I hope that when the need arises we can bring Elliot over again. I wouldn't hesitate to make it a regular dog day care, since it was such a positive experience (for everyone!). Thank you Auria for being available when I was looking for daycare the night before.”
“Yolanda and her family have been so great to work with so far! Yolanda is very responsive, flexible, & respectful of your pet’s needs/requests/concerns. I will be utilizing her services again 🙂”
“star had a great stay! communication was excellent, and i felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. i especially appreciated how understanding they were when i reached out after her stay to share some new information about her recent hip dysplasia diagnosis. they genuinely cared about her well being, and i wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🫶”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Just fantastic dog sitters - Michael to accept at a short notice due to a family emergency and his wife Heather !!! I definitely recommend them now and always!! :) :) they made Lido feel at home”
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.
“Dane is fantastic; couldn’t recommend him more. Our pup loves getting to hang out with him and his goldens. We’re pretty sure our dog would prefer to live with Dane and his dogs if he could! We know that our dog has a great time because whenever we turn down the street that Dane lives on, our dog loses it with excitement regardless if we’re dropping him off or on our way somewhere else. Great backyard, the sweetest goldens and super nice humans. Definitely a winning trio.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life and finally got my own pup in 2023. I love all breeds, sizes and ages and cater my care specific to every dog’s needs. I am very patient and keep up with guidelines and research to ensure I’m doing my best as a dog mom and carer of animals in a daily basis. I’m currently between jobs and home all day, meaning I have flexibility every day. I love getting my steps in, so I am more than happy to take your pup on long walks and will happily provide drop in visits! While boarding or daycare with me, your dog will join me and Killian on our walks, get treats, lick mats, and I can take them to the dog park if you’d like and feel safe enough to. I am a trustworthy person who treats every being and environment like her own. I understand animal’s body language and barks/growls and will ensure their safety and comfort. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and am able to handle big dogs on walks as my boy is 80lbs. I prioritize their safety, comfort and enrichment. I live near Roverwest, so just lmk if you’re comfortable with me taking your dog over!
About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting because it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Jan provides excellent care of Hercules. I get photo updates throughout his stay and messages as necessary. Herc is always exhausted and ready for a nap after a full day of play.”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew, and I provide dependable, attentive, one-on-one care for dogs. My goal is simple: to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities over the years, including family dogs, regular clients, and dogs I’ve walked and cared for in home settings. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and adapting my approach to what helps them feel most secure. I’m especially attentive on walks. I pay close attention to body language, keep dogs safely managed around distractions, and believe that calm, consistent handling helps dogs build confidence. I enjoy providing both physical exercise and mental engagement while making sure each walk is a positive experience. Reliability and communication are important to me. I’ll send thoughtful updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with respect. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I’m happy to meet their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My Experience * Experience caring for family dogs over many years. * Regular dog walking and pet care for private clients. * Comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments. * Patient with shy or cautious dogs. * Committed to safe leash handling and positive interactions. * Happy to follow your dog’s established routines, feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions.

“I have an almost two week stay booked for my old man puggle. I wanted to do some day visits so he could get used to the changes. She said he did so well and adjusted easily. I am feeling so much more at ease about the stay!! I am so grateful that there are people like her out there.”
“Gabriel took Lucy to the lake, introduced her to other dogs, and she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. He accommodated my short notice request and I'm so grateful that Lucy had somewhere safe to go while I headed to work.”
“Kristine was GREAT! She was very flexible since our schedule was very fluid. She accommodated us and Quincy loved being there. THANK YOU Kristine!! When we are in the area, we will use Kristine again. Rover always provides great doggie day care”

I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.

I've had lots of dog sitting experience between all those pups as well as being on Rover for 9 years now. My favorite pup is my border collie/aussie mix, Piper.

About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I am an experienced dog owner, as I've had my own pup for near 6 years now. I have a strong background caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I grew up helping my grandma, who was a Samoyed breeder, so I've been around dogs my entire life and learned early on how to properly care for them. I've had my Aussie since he was 8 weeks, which has made me very comfortable with high-energy breeds and understand how important exercise, attention, and mental stimulation are. Whether your dog needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll make sure they're not just checked on, but truly cared for and engaged with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, even for a short time. I focus on making sure your dog feels safe & comfortable. I am currently offering evening availability on the weekdays starting at 6:30pm Thursday/Friday, and flexible scheduling on Saturday's/Sunday's for drop-ins & walks. I treat every dog like my own and can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently working a full-time job, 8am-5pm. I know this creates limited availability, but I am willing to fit in drop-ins and walks after 6:30pm during the weekdays, and will have flexible availability on the weekend. I take my dog on two 30 minutes walks everyday, on top of playing fetch often, & providing training on basics daily. I practice off-leash in areas where it is allowed. I feed morning and evening for my dog, provide lots of cuddles and affection, and make sure play time is priority. That can be through basic training, scent games, DIY puzzles, and running in the park! As for crate training, I did it for a year but have no moved to allowing my dog to snooze next to my bed every night. This set him up for success and created trust between him and I. I focus on trust with my dog 100% of the time, and understand his needs and wants daily. The bond between your pet is so important so I want to make sure I bring that same energy to your pet!
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
“Jan has been great, and Gizmo loves her! She will take him for walks, be sure he goes potty, and play with him in the yard for a bit. Jan is also flexible should a scheduling conflict arise. She truly loves dogs and looks forward to seeing Gizmo a few times a week!”
“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”
About: I have owned and watch dogs but also cats. I have a love for animals and I get very excited meeting new ones. It’s the best experience to me. I’m available anytime. I would be able to do last minute set ups. I’m sometimes away from home around 2-4 pm but that’s not often Everyone in the house loves animals, especially dogs. The most love is given like their our own. We get very excited and take them out for long walks. My dog has been around puppies before and he loves to be around other dogs.
About: Ive had dogs all my life, my family always had a couple dogs no matter what happens. I come from a big family who loves a lot of house and companionship. And dogs make the best companions. I will take extra good care of you loved one and I will make sure you are in great hands when I take care of them! I have school Monday through thursday but I have time in between classes to run home and walk them if need be. I work the weekends 3pm to 11pm Friday and satruday, then Sunday 7am to 3pm I will take great care to make sure they are comfy and have everything they need. I will play with them as much as they want and I will ensure that they're safe

“Yolanda is our family’s go-to sitter and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get plenty of pictures and updates, while also given our space to enjoy a trip away and know our pup is happy and safe.”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Kim and Tom are THE best . We’ve had many stays and all have been great . Processional/ Reliable and Safe . Poppy and Dudley the Pugs LOVE coming for visits and can’t wait for the next one .”
“First time using Monique's boarding service and it was great! We had two dogs stay with her and they were well cared for. Especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility!”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Really enjoyed working with MJ. He's flexible, accommodating and responds promptly via Rover. My dog has had limited exposure to cats, so really appreciated the time MJ took to introduce Brooklyn to his cats and ensure they were ok. Brooklyn came back tired (tired = lots of fun = happy) and seemed to have had an awesome time.”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Where to start??? Jessica is awesome!!! She made my first time using Rover a very comfortable experience. I have a Min Pin named Cairo that happens to be energetic and super clingy; naturally I was worried about him being a hyper menace but I was relieved to hear from Jessica a day in that he was settled in and already having fun. The updates I were provided were timely and appreciated - always good to know your baby is safe, happy, and well taken care of. I provided Jessica with everything she might’ve needed to ensure a good stay for Cairo and she followed everything to the T! I can’t continue raving about how great Jessica is with the pups. I am extremely pleased. Cairo will be back to hang out with his new friend!!”
“Leaving our dog with Auria (overnight) was our first experience with Rover.com and it was great! She messaged us with photos and words of assurance that our dog was having a great time with her dogs and doing well. She also replied quickly to our messages before and during our dog’s stay with her. Thanks Auria!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”
“Had a great experience! She was very attentive and caring with Waker, and we felt comfortable the whole time knowing he was in good hands. He got along great with her dog Luna, which was a huge plus. Would definitely book again”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
“Lisa is absolutely fantastic!!! She took care of our 10.5 year old Goldendoodle for 3 weeks, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect home for her to stay in. Lisa and her son adored our Winnie-girl, and I think she may have gotten even more spoiled than she does at home! Lisa sent us pics and notes every few days while we were gone, so we knew our girl was having a blast. It was so wonderful to be on the other side of the world and not have even an ounce of concern or worry for our fur-baby...she was so well taken care of, and no doubt she now views Lisa and her son as her second family.”
“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”
“Marilynn took care of our two sassy lil pups for an entire week. The sassy part is that they don't typically play nice with other dogs - unless they are at Marilynn's! She has worked her dog-whispering magic on them and they have become more sociable. They love Marilynn and we do too:)”
“Wow. We were so fortunate to find Katie and her family for our Remy. They have two dogs of their own who are well behaved and welcoming. We received photos and reports almost every day of our two week vacation, showing us how much fun Remy was having and all the attention she was getting from Katie’s two daughters . We strongly recommend Katie and will have Remy stay there again”
