“Jennie was super friendly and reassuring during Roger's first official boarding experience. I got frequent updates through messages, pictures, and videos! They made me feel very safe leaving my boy with them and gave him plenty of attention, he definitely came back a happy cat. I would highly recommend for anyone anxious about first time boarding!”
“Nika took wonderful care of our shy, senior dog Farley again! He stayed for a week this time, the longest we’ve left him. He immediately felt comfortable enough again to allow belly rubs! Nika spoiled him with lots of walks, sunbathing, hanging out, scritches, and belly rubs. She kept us updated multiple times each day with pictures and texts — Farley looked safe, calm, happy, and like he was having a great time. We’re glad to be home but Farley is probably sad to leave Nika 😁”
“Maria took care of Ekko for about a week and can't thank her enough. Very good communication and provided daily updates. Will definitely look for her services again!”
“Tina took wonderful care of our very timid rescue dog. She was also very communicative about how things were going. We would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Mickey is awesome. I was worried initially (due to a bad experience with Rover previously), but Mickey quickly put me at ease. She took great care of our fur baby for the week and sent daily pictures. I can tell Flash was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely be booking with Mickey again.”
“Patricia did a great job with my two little dogs. Her house was clean and welcoming. The pictures she sent showed the dogs acting as if they were at home. I recommend her to any dog owner looking for a good sitter.”
“We felt safe and secure for my pooch under Doug’s care. He made sure my dog had a great time by taking her to walks and quick fun hikes. Highly recommendable to fam and friends.”
“Mika takes excellent care of Gizmo! He's very happy when he's with her and her family and we know he's safe there. We'll definitely be using her again. Thank you, Mika!”
“Our two pups, Lola and BB, love Thavery! Thavery sends daily photo updates and takes the girls on fun walks. We trust her to administer all the necessary medication that our 14 year dog needs. One of our dogs hurt her leg recently, and Thavery was so accomodating to her needs.”
“2nd time our dog Remi stayed with Reena and Remi was well taken care of. She sent us updates constantly about Remi. Remi came back well rested and energized! Remi goes on multiple walks a day and loves to be in their backyard.”
“Olga was amazing!! Our dog was so well cared for and we greatly appreciated all the updates and pictures. We will be rebooking with her again soon 🐾❤️”
“This was my first time using Rover. Yana watched my cat Luna for a day when I really needed someone super last minute. Yana was very nice and sent a couple pictures throughout the day which I appreciated!”
“We boarded Pepper, our 16 year old YorkiePoo with Nicole & Aaron for 9 nights so that we could travel to Aruba and Curacao to celebrate our 30 th wedding anniversary. Pepper is hard in that she has trouble seeing and also seems to have dementia. She is super picky with food, but also is very sensitive to certain high fat foods, that cause her to have diarrhea or vomit. She may sleep all day but every night, she is wide awake and roams around the house at night, and because she cannot see well, she might get stuck behind furniture and is unable to get herself out. Nicole and her family were able to deal with all my dog’s issues and accommodated her special needs. They kept lights on for her and someone even slept the night downstairs to make sure she didn’t get into trouble. She and her entire family did what WE do at home for her, to care for her needs. Nicole sent me pictures everyday via WhatsApp since we were outside the country, and included daily reports and questions as they came up. I was so comforted knowing that Pepper was in great hands with Nicole and her entire family. They truly understood what it takes to care for an elderly dog, and loved her while we were away. I would highly recommend her for boarding if you have similar needs for your four legged family member!”
“Great communication with daily photos of our pup looking happy and healthy! She truly loved our dog as if he were her own. Our pup definitely looks forward to staying at Joanna‘s again and we can’t thank her enough for our guilt-free vacation!”
“I booked overnight boarding for my 2 yo shiba baby. He had such a good time! Jesslyn and her husband are so nice, they took very good care of him. Highly recommended!”
“Li and Di were awesome caring for Enzo and Waffle. We had another caregiver scheduled.... but the guy went MIA the day before our trip (speaking of stress level...). So I reached out to Li/Di last minute and they responded to me so quickly and agreed to care for our dogs. Their place is really clean and big. They also have a big yard. As soon as I walked into their place while handing over our dogs, I know they would be in good hands. Li/Di are so friendly and their kids love our dogs. Dogs came back to us healthy, happy and clean. I would highly recommend Li and Di and will have no problem booking them again for our next trip.”
“Rebecca deserves 10 stars! She did everything possible to have my pup super comfortable while staying at her place, I could not have asked for a better experience for myself and my dog. She even shared updates and photos on what they’re up to throughout the day. Very thoughtful and empathetic.”
“Charlene and her mom showed Trixie a lot of care and we could tell Trixie enjoyed being with them since Trixie was wagging her tail so much around them at pick up. They sent photos and videos every day so we could see how comfortable she was the whole weekend.”
“Niloofar was absolutely amazing with Cuddles. He had a blast playing with her and her dog and cat! She kept me posted about how he was doing. Took such great care of him! Will definitely book her again.”
“Ying was amazing! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable and caring — I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

Walnut Village dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I booked with Baining! She checked in with me every day and reassured me that my dog was well taken care of. The updates and photos really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my pup was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!
Rachel took such good care of Gus Gus! He seems like he really enjoyed his time there which is so great since he usually struggles a lot with separation anxiety. Would definitely have her watch him again!
Holly and fam did a great job with our 7 year old cattle dog, dusty. We received photos and updates daily and it seems like someone was always home for dusty to hang with. We would definitely book with Holly again.
Rhea and her family took such great care of our anxious boy, George! They found fleas on him during his stay but went above and beyond by combing them all out and applying medicine. Will have to double-duty on the flea medicine moving forward! So thankful for the attentive care during a not-so-easy stay
This was Rocky’s first stay with Alexandra and she did a wonderful job taking care of him. Soon after dropping him off we got a picture and update that he was settled in and there were frequent updates during his stay, so we could relax and enjoy our weekend away. Alexandra was a great communicator and we would absolutely have her watch Rocky again.
This is our second time booking with Molly and she was absolutely wonderful, as always! She was flexible with drop off and pick up, made our girl feel so welcome, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I’m so grateful to have a trusted sitter!
Sparky always loves his time with Tina, we appreciate her updates and flexibility with everything. We are always sad to leave our puppy but happy to know that he is being cared for by Tina.
Daria is an awesome sitter and I’ll be recommending her to our family and friends. She took such great care of our maltipoo, Gigi, and provided updates and photos for the 11 days we were on vacation. She was attentive to details and made our baby girl feel loved and cared for! I will definitely book with her again for future trips!
Connie has been caring for my dog named Yoyo for years, leaving me to fully enjoy every second of my time with my family up north. Connie has a special quality that causes yoyo to feel at home even though she isn't :) Connie is and feels devoted to the pets she cares for. .
friendly, responsive, responsible, and took good care of both of our animals, including giving medicine. Thank you!
Thank you so much Nicole and Aaron. You and your family were the best dog sitters ever. Your home is a very dog friendly and safe place. We felt so comfortable after dropping her off. You kept us updated with so many photos and videos while in your care. We could tell Chi was happy to be with you in your home. We will definitely rebook with you again and again.
Kristina was so helpful and kind to our dog. She accepted our request on short notice and kept us regularly updated with photos. Our dog was so happy with her stay she didn't seem too excited to see us when we picked her up! She went back in for another hug from Kristina. Thank you so much!
I had to find a last minute sitter as my usual sitter was out of town this week and Niloofar was able to accommodate. I was worried about my dog being left with a stranger for 3 nights but about an hour after the drop off I received photo updates of Bandit and he had warmed up to her so quick. She made him home cooked meals, brushed him, and gave him plenty of cuddles. I definitely recommend Niloofar if you need a sitter as your pet would be in great hands!
Our boarder collie Haru did a trial stay with Meagan for one night. This was to test whether Haru can comfortably stay with her for a longer time during our upcoming trip. Haru seemed very comfortable with staying with Meagan and Jason looking at the photos she sent us. Thank you Meagan and Jason for taking care of Haru. I can go on a upcoming trip worry-free!
Jesslyn is a kind and caring animal lover, who has taken such good care of my toy poodle FiFi on numerous occasions. Highly recommended!
Joanna was easy to communicate with and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really helped me feel at ease while away! She made sure our senior dog got his medication and was very open to hearing about his needs and routine ahead of time. It was clear she wanted to make the stay as smooth and comfortable as possible for him! We really appreciated her friendly attitude and flexibility. My dog looked so happy and comfortable in all the photos!
Chloe has watched our dog Bella a few times and always does a wonderful job!! Bella always comes home happy and clean! We highly recommend Chloe!
Nova was incredibly caring and attentive to our elderly dogs needs. She truly went above and beyond while our dog stayed with her. Nova even made home cooked food for our doggo. She sent frequent updates and established a great routine that helped our dog with anxiety and stomach issues.
