“Robert did an amazing job watching my dog, Bear. He was very communicative and send pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend him.”
“Edith was great with our puppy Artemis! We were able to meet beforehand for a short notice meet and greet before the holidays. Artemis got along really well with her two dogs and it seemed like he was having a lot of fun throughout the day- he came back exhausted and happy to see us after a couple of weeks, but we could tell that he was well taken care of. Edith sent frequent picture updates, and we felt like he was in good hands the whole time. I would definitely book Artemis here again in the future!”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Amy was awesome!!! We were so grateful to know that our little dog was in such capable and loving hands while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and provided great updates. We will definitely book with her again!!! Thanks Amy!!! 💕🐾”
“My dog had a great time staying with Grace while I was out of town for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and updates so I knew she was doing well. She got lots of walks and came home super happy and tired. She even whined when we left to say she was sad she was leaving lol. We would definitely book with Grace again!”
“Kristin and Bruce (and their kids) took amazing care of my dog for the week he was with them! They took him on walks and to school pickup, sent the sweetest photos and helpful updates, and were just incredibly pleasant and helpful throughout. My dog came home happy, tired, and well loved and I am so appreciative for all the effort they put in to make that happen!”
“We were very happy with our experience with Kayla and Lorelai, but not as happy as our dog, Apollo! He got not one but two dog park trips in as many days, even in the snow (which he loves!). Highly recommend.”
“We will absolutely be re-booking with Julie! We have a husky and 10m old St. Bernard, and the two together can be somewhat of a handful! Julie did an amazing job! She even sent updates to calm my worries! Our babies came home so pooped!! They immediately went to their kennels and went to sleep. She knows her stuff and is wonderful with dogs! You will not be disappointed!”
“Super nice family and home with fenced yard. We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency. Katie and Samuel offered to be flexible with our return date which we greatly appreciated. Juneau seemed to have done fine.”
“I've always been worried about having someone watch my dog because I'm always worried he can be a handful, but he did so well with Joan! She was very quick to respond to my request as I had to find a sitter last minute and she took great care of him and was attentive to his needs like his oral medication. Her dogs are very well behaved and were great company for him! He also had a lot of fun with another dog that was over for doggie day-care. Overall a great place for him to be since he loves to have company! She sent a lot of very cute pictures of him with the other dogs and was very flexible with me when I had an emergency and wouldn't be able to pick him up on time. If I ever need someone to dog-sit for me again I will definitely ask Joan!”
“Manu is always so sweet to our puppy. She is so excited to teach her new things and to have her around! She is also so communicative and flexible. We would definitely recommend Manu to anyone looking for puppy care!”
“Maddie was fabulous, as usual! Our corgi Charlotte loves her and is excited to stay with her again soon. Great communications and flexible on pick up & drop offs.”
“They did a great job providing updates and showing that our dog was having a great time. They were responsive and easy to work with, and could tell that they really cared for our dog.”
“Julie was so good with our Lucy! She is very good with dogs and she made sure that her dog and Lucy were both safe and played well together. Julie clearly has experience with dogs, dog behavior and training. We felt very comfortable leaving Lucy in her care.”
“Hope was very communicative about how things were going which was so helpful for our first visit. I loved the pictures and updates on our pup’s day. Hope’s experience helped me to feel good about entrusting our dog with her.”
“Emily was great. She had quick communication and accepted my booking fast. I needed my buddy boarded for a few hours the next day due to a job interview and didn't have many options. Emily had great communication and was easy to work with. I would recommend her to others in the future. I just hope Rudy treated her well.”
Vilas dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jack just stayed with Gabriella for the first time and I couldn't be more grateful for how good she was with him! Jack has separation anxiety and gets nervous meeting new people and being away from me. Heck, I get anxious too, but Gabriella and her boyfriend made us both feel completely at ease. Jack had 25/7 company and was given accommodations to ensure he was comfortable. I was given plenty of updates on how he was doing and he seemed to be enjoying his time the whole visit with lots of play time and affection. Upon bringing him home I could just tell how content he was with his stay. He wasn't overly anxious to see me which is amazing in comparison to other times he's stayed away from home. I felt completely confident he was in safe and loving hands the entire visit and would absolutely go to Gabriella in the future for pet sitting needs. Thanks again so much for taking such great care of my little guy!
Zhuhan accepted our booking after our previous sitter canceled and was incredibly responsive from the start. She asked thoughtful questions to ensure our dog’s comfort and sent updates every morning and evening. We were very happy with her care and would highly recommend her.
Traveling and knowing that my pup is in good hands is one of the greatest feelings. Neema is always super excited to see Cricket, and I think the feeling is more than mutual. Cricket is always sad to come home, and pouts for at least 6 hours that he's stuck with me again. Thank you, as always, Neema!
Reagan & Ally & Maddie R. were absolutely the best! Moxie was completely at ease and came back home relaxed and happy, which is different from other boarding experiences. We will try to use this team of women for our boarding needs with every opportunity. I think Moxie was a little disappointed that her "vacation" was over, too.
Colleen did an awesome job watching my puppy while I went to the Wisconsin versus Illinois football game. My dog was in so much better of a mood after leaving her than when I dropped him off. We had had a long car ride before the booking where he had gotten sick and so I was unsure about how things would go with someone new. But Colleen was very responsive while supervising my puppy and she did an awesome job, I highly recommend her!
