1. Yesika S.
“Yesika was great! She kept us updated about Duke with plenty of pictures and messages. We really appreciated her thoroughness while onboarding Duke and making sure she knew every single detail about him and his preferences.”
2. Emily C.
“We had a great experience with Emily. She was very flexible both for drop off and pick up, stayed in constant communication throughout our dog’s stay, and sent us many pictures and videos. She went out of the way, bathing Coco and giving him delicious treats. I would heartily recommend her to any dog owner!”
3. Gienna S.
“Gienna was great with our dog Murphy. She had excellent communication (lots of notes and photos) during his stay with her and she clearly has a lot of valuable experience taking care of dogs and making sure they adjust into the new space.”
4. Cassie S.
“Cassie helped us a lot during vacation. We had to leave our puppy for 2 weeks and Cassie really took care of her well. She frequently sent us pictures of our dog and kept us updated. She was also very patient and flexible with time. Will definitely rebook if we leave again.”
5. Oana & Oliver B.
“Oana and Oliver took such wonderful care of Koda! We were nervous leaving Koda with someone other than family, but as soon as we dropped her off and saw how she was welcomed into their home we felt at ease. Oana sent photos of Koda playing everyday and she looked so happy and comfortable in their home! They were very communicative and flexible when we had a flight delay and had to push back our pick up time. We will definitely book with Oana and Oliver again!”
6. Amanda Leigh I.
“Amanda took such great care of our pup overnight! She sent photos and videos to keep us updated. You can tell upon first meet that Amanda loves animals. Will absolutely be booking again.”
7. Hannah L.
“Hannah was amazing. She let us visit twice before the stay so that Happy would be comfortable. Happy stayed over Thanksgiving, but Hannah sent me videos and pictures every day. I recommend her sitting service 100%.”
8. Surendra S.
“Peppet loves Surendra! Pepper always has a blast with Allie, the resident Goldendoodle. We feel so comfortable leaving her here, I love seeing all the pictures and videos come through. My favorite part is seeing pictures of Pepper relaxing with Allie and the family, that’s proof that he is truly comfortable! Can’t wait for her next visit!”
9. Lissette A.
“Lissette hosted my dog Cooper for 2 weeks while I was away. I've had my 4-year old pup for 2 months, and this was the first time I've had to leave him behind. He is very attached to me, and it was hard to leave him with someone else, but Rover.com was a great alternative to a kennel. Lissette was very welcoming to Cooper, and I really liked the fact that she takes in up to 4 dogs in her home, as it gave my dog company throughout the day. Lissette was very attentive to Cooper, and the photo updates were comforting as I got to see how well he was adjusting without me. She was also very communicative, letting me know how my dog was doing. I would happily choose Lissette again as a dog-sitter, because though I don't want to leave my pup anytime, I know that if I have to he will be well-cared for.”
10. Carol L.
“Copper always has such a good time at Carol’s, and she really makes him feel part of the family while I’m away. Can’t recommendd highly enough.”
11. Eileen S.
“There are not enough superlatives to say about my experience with Eileen! I was nervous to leave my 9 pound dog with a new person who wasn’t a family member or friend. Eileen was amazing and my dog was treated likely royalty! I got text and picture updates that put my mind at ease and helped me focus on my work trip. Thank you to Eileen for an amazing experience! I will book her again& again!”
12. Nikki W.
“Nikki is so fantastic! I found her on a whim when I desperately needed someone last minute to watch my dog overnight about a day after her spay surgery. Not only did she provide the best care for my puppy, she also recommended I get a onesie vs. cone (which was so much better) and went through the hassle of unbuttoning the onesie each time she had to go the bathroom during that stay. Since then, I have gone to Nikki for both daycare and boarding and my dog LOVES going here, she sometimes doesn't want to leave which I love. Nikki and her family take such good care of Heidi and it shows, she is also so quick to respond and always seems to be available for all my last minute needs. I highly recommend Nikki to anyone in the area needing a good, reliable and kind pet sitter.”
13. Lori G.
“Lori provided excellent care to our dog, Apollo, while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative, provided regular updates and sent a lot of great photos and videos! I would highly recommend her and will ask for her help again. Thank you so much, Lori!!”
14. Jamie C.
“Jamie was incredible. No other way to put it. She took amazing care of our Hazel. She was in constant communication, took her to dog parks, walks, and waterfronts, and even helped her when she wasn’t eating her dog food. Jamie is our first call from here on out. Thank you!”
15. Natasha & Jonathan M.
“I cannot say enough great things about Natasha and Jonathan! My puppy Luna (80lb, 1 year old lab mix) spent 6days and 5nights with them and they sent regular pictures and video updates. I could tell Luna was having the absolute best time and I was able to have a good vacation because I knew Luna was being well taken care of. We also did one test day before the longer stay and after that one day I knew Natasha and Jonathan were a great fit. Both times when I’ve picked her up she’s been happy and calm and very tired out from all the walks and playing. They were also super flexible with drop off and pick up times and communication was very easy. I would 1,000% recommend Natasha and Jonathan to absolutely anyone and I will definitely be booking with them again!”
16. Mike R.
“Wonderful experience working with Mike. Excellent communication with pictures and reached out with any questions or concerns that he had about the doggies. Poochie and Princess loved playing with his pup! Highly recommend! Thank you Mike, we will definitely see you again!”
17. Rob W.
“Rob is the best! Junie had so much fun with his whole family. I felt very safe leaving Junie at his home given his expertise, experience, and the clear love he and his family have for dogs. Will 100% be rebooking!”
18. Julia R.
“Julia did a great job watching our cat. We were nervous since it was out first time using Rover. Julia let us see the place before booking. She truly cares for animals. We hope to use her in the future and would recommend her!”
19. Debbee C.
“Debbee is amazing. Bear felt at home immediately, I was kept in the loop at all times and I never felt nervous leaving my lovely big Berner with her. Such a relief to find such a kind home!”
20. Victoria B.
“Another lovely stay for our girl Mocha at Victoria's! We loved getting all the photos and videos of Mocha out with other pups. She looked so so happy in each pic, gives us great peace knowing she is also having fun and being taken care of well during our trips. Thank you, Victoria!!”
