Our Goldendoodle pup had a great time staying with this family, and I was confident in their care and the awesome amount of updates and pictures they provided! They are great communicators, and they were so accommodating to our last minute unexpected change in plans. I would absolutely recommend!

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

Scott was a perfect choice for Scout's visit to a new sitter. Scott met with us ahead of time to be sure it was a fit for both Scout and the family. He sent multiple photos of Scout hanging out and playing with other dogs in their fenced-in back yard while I was away from home. I will definitely be asking for Scout to stay with Scott again!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Moose had a great time playing with other dogs, we received an update at night. It was great to hear that he didn’t have any separation anxiety since we left, he was also happy when he saw us the next day.

I chose Michelle & Mark because their reviews were outstanding and I was not disappointed! This was my 2-year-old dog's first time away from us for this long and we had no idea what he would do. On the first night, he barked in his crate all night (I was horrified/embarrassed), but Michelle and Mark were so reassuring. They persisted and tried a bunch of different things to make him feel at home and got him sleeping through the night the very next day. I received so many photos and videos of him running and playing with other dogs and getting snuggles. I could visibly see him getting more comfortable as the days went on. We picked him up last night and he basically didn't care about us at all! He totally wanted to stay with Mark and Michelle! This morning he is completely knocked out napping! Look no further for your rover match- this couple is IT!

Alice did a great job with our dog. She communicated just the right amount and even cared for him over a major holiday. I think she even gave him a bath. Would definitely recommend!

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Our dog just spent another A+ time with Molly. He's excited to go over to her place, which tells you how well she treats him, and her updates give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacations. Our little guy comes home so happy. We're grateful.

We got lots of pictures and updates of Taylor during her stay! It’s always a little nerve wracking to leave to your pup with someone you don’t know, but it makes it a lot easier when you know they’re being well taken care of! Will definitely use Kayla again when we need someone to watch Taylor.

I made a solid decision choosing Evan to take care of my baby instead of putting her at a boarding place. He was the first guy I tried on rover and I'm definitely very pleased. My dog loved it and she was never put in a kennel. She was able to maintain her normal lifestyle. Evan was great and I will definitely pick him next time I am out of town. I also have to point out his excellent photography skills. He took the best pictures and it was always something I looked forward to everyday

Christy and Erkem kept my 13-yr-old bichapoo Bella for a week and were fabulous. Bella had never been boarded before so was quite anxious, and I expected she wouldn't eat for a few days. Christy and Erkem must have quickly put her at ease since Bella ate as usual. I really appreciated their regular text and video updates and was able to enjoy my time away since I was confident Bella was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Christy and Erkem and will definitely use them again!
