“They were great with my dogs and my dogs can be a LOT. They provided me with daily updates. This was my first time using this service and I would definitely use them again.”
“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
“Brandy was amazing !!! She was so good about checking in with us and sending cute pictures and videos of our pup! We can tell our dog had such an amazing time and really enjoyed his stay! We will 100% be using her again in the future!”
“Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.”
“Highly recommend. Amy and Peter took great care of our fur baby. Loved getting pics of all the fun he was having. Loved the meet and greet before hand, made me more comfortable at drop off.”
“Wonderful - took great care of my cat Arya for a week on short notice, and kept me updated with pictures and a note on how she was doing every day while I was gone. 10/10, I know who I’m calling next time I have to leave town!”
“Best experience ever! I would recommend Jessica over and over to any and all! As a military family it is hard to find someone to trust with your furry family members but our pup had the best life with cuddles and treats the whole time. He was cared for like he was one of her own.”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Cortnie & Will take the best care of our fur baby and love him as their own! Their calming and friendly personalities allow our pup to feel right at home and they go above and beyond for him to feel comfortable and loved. This level of care allows us to be worry free while boarding our pup which is so wonderful and very much appreciated!”
“Samantha, Zach & their kids were great! This was my puppies first time boarding & they were awesome. I was updated daily and any questions or worries I had were answered. After a long 5 day stay my flight was cancelled so I had to extend my Layla’s stay & Samantha gave me no issues with accommodating. We will definitely be using this family for any other boarding/sitter needs. Extra points to her little ones for giving my girl all the love & cuddles during her stay!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“Long review, but so many amazing things to say about Melissa! ⭐️ I’ve left my two corgis, Benjii and Rocco, with Melissa twice—once in March (~ 2 days) and again in April (~ 9 days) —and we absolutely love her! Benjii and Rocco couldn’t be more different: Rocco lives his best life, always happy and social, while Benjii is more reserved and prefers human company over other dogs. Melissa immediately understood their individual personalities and respected and cared for them accordingly & fully. She never pressured Benjii to interact, and she never held Rocco back from enjoying himself. She sent daily (or every other day) photos and videos, along with updates on their behavior and how things were going. I can’t begin to explain how it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away and to find that kind of attentiveness is SO SO RARE. Unlike the boarding center I used to take them too, which locked them up from 7pm until 7am—she kept them company even late at night. She’d sent me photos of Benjii just chillaxing beside her while Rocco played or was crashed out of tiredness lol. While I was away for those 9 days, it rained a lot, yet she still made sure they had playtime, and gave them both a bath before returning them & they came back smelling amazing!!! Melissa’s thoughtfulness, updates, and genuine care gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a shame I found her right before moving, if not, she would’ve been my go-to ALWAYS. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets dogs or you’re on the fence, please listen and trust me and book with Melissa! I promise you, your fur babies will be in the best hands!! 🫶🏼🥺”
“Dave and Heidi were absolutely amazing with my fur baby, Chance! They are the sweetest couple and sent daily pics and updates. They made sure to comfort her during the storms and helped her get over her anxiety of me leaving. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Very accommodating gentleman! Nice fenced back yard, easy to get to his home! I felt great leaving my dog with Davey! He even sent pictures of her playing, which calmed me down as this was her first sitter! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She sent regular pictures, set Winston home with an adorable goodie bag, and I could really tell that my pup was well taken care of! Will be rebooking for sure! 5/5”
“Julia was fantastic! Great at communication and very sweet. She helped my fur baby at a very hard time! I would recommend her to anyone! Very caring and compassionate! Your fur baby will be in great and loving hands with Julia!”
“Mary was wonderful taking care of our Stella for 2 whole weeks while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with messages and photos and was quick to respond to our messages while we were out of the country. Thanks so much Mary! ??”

Waterloo dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first use of Rover and we could not be happier. It was an extended stay 9 nights and 10 days. We received pictures and updates everyday. Their home is open and comfortable and gave our dogs the same setting they were used to at home, which made us feel reassured they would be ok. Cortnie & Willey made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our two fur babies with them for this amount of time. We look forward to using them again! We would highly recommend Cortnie & Willey.
