“Jeff is great at communicating and sending photos of our pup on a daily basis and letting us know they are doing fine and having fun. My pup is usually tired from the long walks and lots of play time!”
2. Sarah V.
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
3. Shirley M.
“Shirley is fantastic with both our dog (medium size hound mix) and cat. Our dog gets so excited when she realizes she is going to stay with Shirley. Very responsive and responsible and communicates well with pics every day. We never worry about their wellbeing while in Shirley’s care.”
4. Jo'Ell S.
“We have been using Jo'ell's Rover service for Sparky for more than a year and we absolutely love the care she takes for him. Sparky is always very eager to meet her as we approach her house. She has a nice and big backyard that is very well secured (extra piece of mind). We always received Sparky's photos everyday. Thanks you Jo'ell and family for taking care of Sparky !!”
5. Christina C.
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”
6. Mary K.
“I researched quite a bit of sitters because I once had a sitter that had all these raving reviews, but didn't meet half the expectations in her description of care. Mary K responded quickly, set up a meet and greet immediately and is considerably more affordable than almost everyone on this site! Everything turned out great! Mary was on top of everything I have in my instructions for my two dogs' care, which involved her sending me a pic daily...she even added a little note on their well being. I would use Mary again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her and her services.”
7. Judith T.
“Judith is awesome!! She treated our dog like her own while we were away, and sent lots of pictures and updates. She was also very accomodating of our dog’s health issues.”
8. Jazmin M.
“She was a godsend! My dog was so comfortable and welcomed. Constantly sent me pictures and took into consideration any of my dogs quirks. I woul absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
9. Khala T.
“Khala is amazing! Super professional and dogs love her. This was my first time using Rover. I wasn’t sure about what to do and Khala was helpful in guiding me. She met my pup a few days before and let him get familiar. He was actually excited to go back when I had to drop him off. He had an awesome weekend and Khala sent plenty of pictures. I’m so happy I found somebody this awesome on the first try.”
10. John S.
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
11. Phyllis E.
“Many thanks to Phyllis and her husband for taking great care of our two dogs. They are great — very responsive, professional and loving! We look forward to seeing them at the end of the month when we are at a wedding!”
12. Tamara C.

15. Sarai M.
“Sarai took care of our 2 boys for a whole week. We were really glad we chose her to dog sit our babies. All week we received updates and pictures of our boys having a blast. They looked so happy and well taken care of. They enjoyed the huge backyard to run and play around. Her family is so welcoming and loving. There was always great communication and will definitely take my pups back to her to dog sit in the future. Overall a great experience !”
16. Dezmond M.
“Dezmond took fantastic care of our pup! He was very communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure he provided the best, safe environment for her. Monse and Dez were patient as she warmed up and got comfortable in their home. She left happy and exhausted from playing with Dez’s pups!”

“Maya took such great care of Sally while we were away, and we loved receiving pictures! She was flexible with the unexpected changes in our travel plans. Highly recommend!”
18. Janet M.
“Ms. Janet was amazing! My fur baby is older and very attached to me and Ms. Janet was great with making sure that Philly was comfortable. She also put me at ease with updates and pictures. I will definitely recommend her and use her again. I'm also considering daycare a few day a week.”
19. Rae D.
“I really appreciate Rae taking my pup on such short notice. She was a great communicator throughout the process & made me feel comfortable about boarding my dog with her. Highly recommend & will look to book with Rae again in the future!”
20. Jennifer D.
“Jennifer helped me in an emergency when originally arrangements for my dog fell through one day before we were leaving for vacation. Morris enjoyed staying with her and playing with her pup.
