“This was our first ever experience with Rover.com and we couldn't have been any more pleased! Nancy was fantastic! Our dog was in the best hands possible. We received updates, pics and videos, as many or as few as we wanted... We were nervous about leaving our pup with a stranger, but our meet' n greet couldn't have gone any better. Charlie was instantly at home and the energy of the house was comforting and relaxed. He got to run around in a nice open fenced in yard and even play with some other pups that were visiting. Any fear of this not working out were completely dashed. We just picked up our pooch yesterday and have already booked our next getaway. Thank you Mark and Nancy!”
“This is our second time using Shirley. We are so happy that we found her. She is a gem. We are totally confident about Shirley taking the best care of Sadie possible. When we need someone to watch Sadie, she will be our first choice every time.”
“Patty was great with Skylar and Vanzant. She was able to accommodate a short notice 2 day stay. The pictures and communications were great and they came home clearly well cared for and well exercised.”
“Jordan took great care of our dog! He had a great time playing and making new friends! Jordan sends pictures and updates everyday and I felt safe keeping my fur baby with her! Thank you Jordan and family for loving on Rocky.”
“Catherine was amazing and gave me a peace of mind sitting Dilly! She is very warm and loving, and kept us informed the entire stay with plenty of pictures! Dilly was happy and energetic at pick up and felt at home with Catherine! We will definitely have Dilly stay with Catherine again!”
“We are so happy we found Giannina! She took such good care of our baby. She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, which made us feel so much better, since this was the first time we've left our little one in someone else's care. We will definitely use her service in the future. Giannina comes highly recommended.”
“My two dogs had such a great time with Nichole! She provided updates and pictures. I knew they were in good hands and put my mind at ease! We will definitely be using Nichole again!”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Mary Anne was amazingly friendly and open to a last-minute meet-and-greet. She and our little Bichon, Bella, fell in love instantly. This boarder has a large and lovely fenced back yard and a spacious house with lots of dog toys. Bella also instantly bonded with Mary Anne's miniature schnauzer. Since we live in Michigan City, Mary Anne's home was close to the Interstate on our way to the airport. We left Bella with Mary Anne for a week, along with feeding and medication instructions. Although I provided the medicine, I forgot to bring Bella's food. Mary Anne cheerfully took care of the problem. When we arrived to pick up Bella at the end of the week she was happy to see us but actually stopped and looked back before getting into our car. We will definitely leave Bella here again and we highly recommend Mary Anne.”
“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”
“We can’t thank Debra & Michael enough for taking the best care of our Emme girl! I could tell from the minute I met them how amazing they were. I couldn’t have found a better couple to take care of our girl. Thank you so much!!! ❤️”
“Shanie was very kind and caring to our 2 dogs and 2 Guinea pigs. She sent us daily updates and pictures of our fur babies, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use Shanie again.”
“I can't recommend Monica enough for anyone in need of a caring, reliable, and overall amazing dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making the booking process a breeze. During our time away, Monica kept me updated with regular photos, a video and messages, which really put my mind at ease knowing that our Gracie was happy and well taken care of. You can tell that Monica has a genuine love for animals. Upon returning home, I could tell that my dog had a fantastic time with Monica and her family. Gracie was relaxed and happy. I will definitely feel comfortable with leaving Gracie at her house again when we need to go away.”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“Moppet really enjoyed his time with Bernice and playing with the other dogs his size in Bernice's beautiful back yard. He is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with her and Cheddar. Bernice sent several pictures of him. Not only did he look happy and playful, but she actually got some really good pictures of him! (When I get out my phone to take pictures of Moppet, he turns his back to me like he doesn't want his picture taken.)”
“We are so grateful to have found Andrea and Paul to look after our girls while we took a trip to Chicago with our kiddos for spring break. We were nervous as our 7 month old Indy had never spent the night outside our house but we felt confident they were in good hands as soon as we met Paul. Andrea was great at communicating and sending us pictures each day of our girls having a good time. Their house and yard are nice and clean and they even had crates set up for them. We will definitely bring Indy and Loki again next time we plan a trip. Well worth the peace of mind. Thank you both so much!”

Kim did an amazing job! Not only did she take care of our pets (HeShe & Mocha), she also took care of our home and flowers. She was excellent about sending pics and videos and was always available. It's always hard to leave your pets behind, but with Kim, you will have peace of mind that your pets are well taken care of. She's amazing!!

My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.
Collette was an absolutely perfect host for my dog Lucky. I received ongoing communications and photos and I am sure that Lucky was well taken care of. Collette's set up is perfect and her pup immediately joined up with Lucky to form a small pack. I would definitely use Collette again and give her my highest possible recommendation.
