1. Michele R.

“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”


2. Dian R.

“this is our second time having daisy stay with dian and just like last time, she was amazing with her, always makes sure she knows she’s loved and is excellent at caring for her. Dian is super sweet and very kind, i 100% recommend her!”


3. Marisa T.


“I was so comfortable leaving Chance in the care of Marissa and her family. She communicated with me through our entire stay and sent beautiful pictures of Chance adjusting (and loving) his vacay family. A special thank you to her son, who romped with him daily in the Ohio snow. We are so lucky to have them close as we travel a lot.”


4. Ryan E.
“Ryan was always quick to respond during the booking and sitting process. Our dog clings to whomever is watching him, and can slobber when in unfamiliar surroundings - both behaviors observed and shared by Ryan in his updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Ryan.”


5. Bridget D.

“Bridget was such an amazing sitter. While I was on vacation she sent me videos and photos of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Her her dogs were so friendly and playful it made dog feel right at home. He was so happy and well taken care of I will he using Bridget as my sitter anytime time I need my dog to be watched.”

“Sharon is a wonderful sitter! Very responsive and flexible. Our dogs were well taken care of and we will definitely call Sharon again if we need a sitter!”


8. David T.

“This was my first experience utilizing Rover. We initially had a meet and greet and I knew my puppy was in good hands. I appreciated the videos and pictures and seeing my puppy interact with his family and other pets. I would certainly use David again and really feel fortunate that I picked the right sitter for our dog.”




9. Derek B.

“This was our very first time boarding our 1 year old rottie-mix, Howie. I picked Derek because he lives very close to us, and said he lets his dogs sleep in his bed with him and Howie could join in if he wanted! Then we met Derek, saw his big yard and we were sold! Derek is dog person through and through. He sent us tons of photos. He treated Howie like he was his own dog. We feel very lucky to have found Derek and he’ll definitely be the one to board Howie again when we need it. Thank you Derek!! I swear Howie is more well behaved since he stayed with you!”


10. Tiffany T.


“Our dogs seemed to have had a great time! They came home and napped all day so they must've enjoyed playing with the other dogs haha We appreciated getting updates and pictures all weekend!”


11. Asia H.

“Asia was great. We were in a pinch and she accepted Norman very last minute. Norman can be a handful and she handled him very well. There was an incident where Norman didn't really take to being around her bigger dog, I think his age and health issues made him unsure about it, but she was able to take care of the situation to make sure the dogs were kept safe. This was our first time (in 9 years) that I had to take Norman to a sitter, so I was very nervous about leaving him, but she sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the entire time. She treated Norman like he was part of her family, which is awesome. I would definitely recommend using her for your fur baby.”


12. Katrina T.

“Katrina and her family were so kind and caring towards my dog. Our flight got delayed and we had to extend our services for a couple more days and she was so understanding. We will book with her again!”


13. Sandra F.

“Our pups stayed overnight. We got lots of pictures. When we went to pick them up, we could tell they felt at home and were well cared for. We will definitely be using Sandra again!”


14. alison f.

“Alison and her family were so great to work with! Our labradoodle stayed for the weekend and came home so tired from all the fun he had! :-) We got multiple pictures and updates while he was there, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands!”


15. Sherri H.


“My dog was extremely well taken care of. He generally does not eat much when he's being boarded due to anxiety but he ate almost all his meals! I received many pictures and updates during his stay that were much appreciated!”


16. chelsie g.
“Chelsie has such a loving and caring nature, especially when it comes to my dogs. She treats them like they're her own, which gives me such peace of mind. It's wonderful to have someone so dependable and compassionate in my life.”


17. Barbara M.

“Barbara took great care of our dog while we were away. She was easy to communicate with and flexible with our schedule changes. We will definitely ask for her help again in the future!”


18. Kristine P.

“Kristine took excellent care of our old gal. She gave her the attention she needed, made sure she had her meds and carefully introduced her to the other dog. Her daughter was also very sweet to Tinkerbell. We will definitely use Kristine again!”
