“Judy was very kind and caring with our dog Chance. Sent many photos while we were gone. Great communication throughout our time away. I would definitely recommend Judy for your dogs stay.”
“Janet was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was very content with her. Our dog is older and takes medications daily and Janet had no problem giving these to her, even when our dog was stubborn about taking them. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kayle and her family were amazing! They took such great care of my dog. They sent pictures and updates. I felt so confident that my pup was being taken care of and having fun while I was gone. I’m so grateful I found them on here! I will absolutely book them again :)”
“Doyle picked up and dropped off Bella at no extra charge; Bella returned happy, healthy, and clean; and Doyle was an expert communicator during the whole experience. I will use Doyle again if I find the need. ”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Nicole was amazing! She has 3 well behaved beautiful dogs that got to play and distract Midas while we were gone. She also has some extra little hand that I am sure gave our dog so much love while we were gone! We got pictures daily! We were so happy that he was so well taken care of we would request Nicole anytime we are out of town. Highly recommend”
“We appreciated Kristen's openness and ability to meet us before our pups stay. She was amazing with our girls! We got texts, picts, and videos while we were away. She was super responsive to our texts and made us feel comfortable leaving our pups with her. We will definitely book with Kristen again!”
“Kelly was so easy to communicate with and very flexible on drop off and pickup times. She sent me photo updates during our trip which was so appreciated. She’s just the nicest person and I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter!”
“Bob was absolutely wonderful, he sent updates and pictures daily while we were on vacation. It was our first time leaving our pups for a long period of time and I have never felt more comfortable that they were in good hands. We will definitely rebook anytime we go on vacation and I know our dogs will look forward to going back, they were so spoiled being with him.”
“We completely trust Keeley and Ethen with our little dog Remi. Whenever we need to go out of town, they are the first sitters I reach out to! They are loving, attentive, & communicative..we couldn’t ask for anyone better!!”
“Bryanne and her family were fantastic. Bryanne is a knowledgeable handler and integrated our dogs with her own quickly and peacefully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bryanne again.”
“5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.”
“She is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She updated me with pictures throughout my vacation and my little pup was having a vacation of her own. She definitely put me at ease. I will definitely use her again! ❤️”
“I will echo every positive review Angela got. This was the first time I left Charlie with someone and the level of care and attention she provided for him was more than I could ever expect. He was so loved and cared for during my absence and that put me at so much ease. Thank you!”
“Alexis did an amazing job watching my doggo for me over the weekend while I was out of town! She sent multiple updates daily which included pictures of my dog having a great time:) I never had any doubts as to his safety and wellbeing. If you need your dog boarded I cannot recommend Alexis enough!”
“Liz did a fantastic job with our timid but active Brittany Spaniel, Maggie. I could tell the minute I picked her up that Maggie was happy and relaxed, not stressed as I witnessed when using a kennel. We will definitely use Liz in the future.”
“This family is the best. Hannah and Will were so accommodating and kind and attentive to not only our dog but to us as well. This was the first time we used Rover in about 3 years so I was pretty particular. Hannah and her family were a perfect fit for our 4 yr old pup. They have two other dogs who were so playful and welcomed mine rt into their pack. They also have two young daughters who knew exactly how to safely approach our dog for the first time and all times after that. They were excellent listeners to their parents and were thoroughly excited to welcome our dog into their home. And within a few hours …maybe minutes…our dog was snuggling rt up to them. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent many photo updates! They even taught him to “stay” out of kitchen while they ate, as do their other 2 dogs. We have already booked her for July. Thank u Hannah and Will.”
“Our pup had a great stay with Thomas. We loved the video updates he sent us while away. We picked her up very happy! We were put at ease, knowing she was taken care of while we were out of town.”
Waterloo pet parents share their Rover experiences
Annur watched both of our dogs for 6 days and did an AMAZING job! The pups absolutely loved her and her home, we received updates a few times a day with pictures, and she followed their routine to keep them as normal as possible. We cannot thank her enough! We will absolutely reach out to her again when we need boarding!
