“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“Andrew and his family were amazing with Oscar. They treated him like he was a part of their family. I so appreciate everything they did! Thank you so much!!!”
“The best ever! 10/10 will use them again. The sweetest people who made my little George feel like he is apart of the family & made me less stressed about leaving him for a week. Thank you guys ❤️”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Ashlee was very communicate and sweet during Frankie’s stay with her! She was flexible and followed all of our requests. She sent updates with photos each night. Thanks Ashlee!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.”
“Laura is a wonderful dog sitter! Our 18 month old pup stayed 3 weeks with her and her chocolate lab. This was her 2nd stay with them. She was well taken care of. My pup and her dog were inseparable! Laura provided daily updates and pictures of our pup enjoying her stay. She followed our requests for special care for her. We will definately use her for future sitting and highly recommend her T.o Weber”
“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”
“Lisa took great care of my dog while I was away for about a week! She sent lots of cute and cozy pictures of him hanging out with her animals and was always easy to get in touch with. She also did a good job handling his food aggression and making adjustments to make things work for everyone. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“I am thankful Rhonda was able to watch my Boston Terrier on short notice. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and will definitely have her watch him in the future.”
“Nikki was a great pet sitter for my dog. It was nice that we could meet prior to my dog’s stay so it wouldn’t be such an unknown. Nikki also sent many photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. Nikki is a super find!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Dawn and her husband were wonderful sitters. My dog, Jax, was obviously comfortable within minutes of walking in the house. Through out his stay Dawn would send pictures so I could see for myself how ‘chilled’ Jax was. I highly recommend Dawn and would definitely leave Jax in her care again.”
“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Yolanda and her family were amazing! From the day I left my girls behind, I was confident they were in good hands. Yolanda was very responsive to messages and even sent photos of how my girls were adjusting. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the peace of mind you gave me!”
“Our dog loved her stay with Zach. He was very professional and flexible with our unique drop off/pick up needs. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Tracy is the best dog sitter! My dog was given the attention she likes. There were other dogs that my pet met at Tracy’s that she made friends with. She got to play outside and go for walks. It was her dream come true!”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“We left our Simba with Savannah for a weekend & it went great ! He enjoyed playing with her dogs & we could definitely tell that he wasn’t so worked up to come home (we have tried boarding locations in the past & he is very eager to get out of there asap & has never truly enjoyed that type of environment). We are very happy that we found Savannah to care for him ! The communication was great & and we are just happy that Simba had a safe/fun experience. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
Wauwatosa dog parents share their Rover experiences
We could not have asked for a better experience with Maggie. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Before our stay, she reached out to learn all about our dog, Daisy, asking thoughtful questions to make sure Daisy would feel comfortable, safe, and at home. Throughout Daisy's stay, Maggie was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. She kept us updated with messages and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious that Daisy was being treated with kindness, affection, and individualized attention. What truly set Maggie apart was the warmth and genuine love she showed—not just to Daisy, but to us as well. When we picked Daisy up, Maggie gave us the sweetest card expressing how appreciative and honored she was to care for our pup. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and perfectly reflects the kind of person she is. Maggie was also very flexible with drop-off and pickup times, making the entire experience stress-free. Daisy absolutely adored her, and we knew she was in wonderful hands. Without a doubt, Maggie is the best dog sitter we've ever had. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the pets in her care. Daisy has found her perfect sitter!
Tracie was wonderfully attentive and great with our pup! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Great communication, and respectful of our dog’s needs. Our dog can be a bit leash reactive, but Tracie was mindful to introduce her carefully to her own pets and make sure our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Tracie!!

I was a little bit nervous with this being the first time I used Rover for boarding. However, thanks to Chelsea all those nerves have been put to rest. Chelsea listened to everything I said about boarding my dog and wrote it all down. She was constantly in communication with me and provided me with picture updates as well. I highly recommend!
