“Lauren did an incredible job taking care of my Goldendoodle. She also has two well behaved very friendly dogs who loved to play with mine. She sent pictures and video updates. I highly recommend!”
“Felix is amazing!!! I had a big weekend away and I was nervous to leave my puppy. I had every confidence that my dog, Grover, had an amazing time. Felix has a big yard Grover could run around in and he sent me daily updates with photos. Felix took him for nice long walks as well. It took the stress of being away and made it feel like a vacation for Grover. He came back so happy and tired! I 100% recommend Felix!”
“Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“My Mimi had a great time staying with Brittany. Great communication, she sent updates & pictures every day, followed instructions to make her feel as comfortable as possible. I can tell Mimi was in good hands. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! My dog is a rescue that is anxious around strangers. Rachel did an amazing job making her feel at home, and taking excellent care of her. She sent photos while I was away so I knew everything was going well. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“This was my first time using Rover and had a great experience. Sarah took wonderful care of our dog for three days in her home. She was so kind and accommodating (and super easy to communicate with!). Her home had a great fenced in yard and from the pictures she sent me while we were away - could tell my dog was very happy and content. Highly recommend, Sarah!”
“5 stars isn’t enough!! And full points to Hank and Ollie!! We had a 14 week old puppy and were vacationing for a 9 days. Our puppy is insanely high energy and high maintenance, and was biting pretty hard in his teething phase. This was my first time ever using Rover so I did lots of meet and greets with a bunch of sitters- and Sean stuck out as the most competent. We ended up going with him and sent him a super long laundry list of our training schedule with the puppy. He sent pictures every day, he was communicative, and I felt no worries with my pup whatsoever. When we came back, our pup was sweeter than ever. He no longer was biting, he was more patient, he was calmer, and he was in great shape from playing with Hank and Ollie! You won’t regret working with Sean!!!”
“Vinnie is so well cared for when he visits Terry and his wife! Vinnie gets lots of interactions with other dogs, has a beautiful fenced in area to run around and lots of cozy places to nap! This allows our family to have a relaxing vacation and we enjoy the daily pictures from Terry! Thank you again! The Moliterno Family❤️”
“She was amazing, kept me updated with pictures and how he was doing my Jordan didn't want to leave he was all over Linda kinda like say bye but kept coming back , thank you so much Linda ♥️”
“Absolutely amazing. I've never boarded my dog before so I was nervous but I got pictures and updates and that put me at ease. And when I went to pick him up, he was like "Oh, Hi Mom! This place is great!" And tried to go back in the house! 😂😂😂 We will definitely be back. Thank you!”
“I am a repeat customer. Kalee is an absolute GEM! Our first time with Kalee, she was very professional. She offered a meet and greet then once we arrived she spent additional rime with Buster and I just reviewing his care and allowed Bust we to explore and get used to his surroundings. I have decided that Kalee is our one and only sitter, Buster loves her and his new fur baby brother! I definitely recommend Kalee as a professional, caring and flexible sitter!”
“Teri was GREAT! We will definitely use her services again. We came home a day early and she refunded us for a full day. That was unexpected and very kind. I would give her more stars if I could! Thanks Teri :-)”
“This is the second time we’ve had our 2 pups stay with Jenn and she was AMAZING as always! Our pups were a little bit more work this stay and she was so patient, kind, and communicative throughout it all. I will always recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”
“Jess did a outstanding job with my 3yr old golden. She was very flexible with drop off/ pick up times and received daily updates taking her to the dog park and walks as well. Would highly recommend and use her again”
“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”
“Dan and his wife were absolutely incredible! This was our first experience with Rover, and certainly will not be our last! Dan’s communication was excellent! He sent daily updates, photos, and videos during our time away. I truly felt our pup was so loved and cared for! Hands down would recommend Dan to anyone and everyone! Thank you!!!”
“Breanna was wonderful with our nervous pup, Ozzie! She let us do a meet and greet before his first full visit, which helped him adjust better! She sent updates with pictures, which we loved :) She’s a great sitter for your pups!”
