“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”


2. Cindy T.


“Cindy is a wonder! My scaredy-dog loves her, and went to her willingly even though it had been a long time since his last visit. She asked if I’d like her to give him a bath, and that was a very welcome addition. Thank you Cindy!”


3. Emily B.

“Best Rover experience ever! Emily treats our pup as her own, lavishing them with fun excursions, pup cups, and even practicing commands. I feel so much peace knowing I can rely on Emily and Sean to look after my fur baby, and our pup is always excited to visit her friend and surrogate family!”


4. Sheri J.

“Sheri was great! She kept in contact all day and sent pics of my little dude having a blast. If I’m ever back in Phoenix, I’ll absolutely call her again.”


5. Chelsea J.

“Chelsea was AMAZING with my anxious pup! She was also very gracious with my unplanned schedule change and accommodated us accordingly. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”


6. Ashley F.
About: I have taken care of my dog for many years, about 12 years. I also do have experience take care of cats for 2 months. I’m currently working part time and doing school from home for most of the day so I can take care of pet through the day I do have a access to grass and will be able to walk around. There is also a park not to fare from where I am.


7. Dawn B.


“Sorry for the late review. I've been doing the grandma thing for the past 2 weeks. I am a widow and I live alone many miles from family. My dogs, Margot and Molly, have become my life. When I learned that they were not invited to the party, I almost declined the invitation. Through a trusted friend, I learned about Rover. I took a chance and booked a time with Dawn. WOW! It's like taking your child to kindergarten for the first day and they walk away from you without looking back. I like to think the girls are good judges of character. Well Dawn took their leashes and they walked away from me without looking back They were not the least stressed when I picked them up later. They had play time with other dogs, they had their dinner and they were ready for a good night's sleep when I picked them up. I got updates on where they were and what they were doing. I couldn't be happier than I was with Dawn's care. This experience was a golden buzzer for me.”




8. Hilary R.


“Very accommodating and good communication!”


9. Ross & Ava T.

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”


10. Danielle K.

“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”


11. Katharine S.

“Katie did an amazing job with our puppy Bear! She made him feel so welcome and safe and her sweet Louie is an angel - wore bear out! Katie was so easy to work with and gets an A++ for communication! Bear will definitely go back to Katie Camp!”


12. Siah G.
“I have a small Chihuahua . When she was born I couldn't get her too eat so siah sat and helped me feed my new puppy and showed me what to do for hours and he always came and checked on her and made sure she was in tip top shape .”


13. Aj M.

“I was so glad I was able to depend on AJ for his daycare support with Ace. He was very helpful, kept conversation and made my first time a great experience. I highly recommend you book with AJ. I look forward to booking with him very soon.”


14. Rob C.
About: I am a firm believer that dogs are our best friends. Dogs deserve all the love and devotion they show us. I would love to drop by for a quick visit or a walk, or if you need care for longer my wife and our dog Belle would love to host your furry friend. Our backyard, quiet neighborhood, and proximity to the James River Park System is perfect for play time and longer walks. If you’re looking for a reliable friendly caretaker and or a fun place to stay for your pet, look no further. This is my full time commitment at the moment so pet care will be my top priority. My dog Belle gets all of the attention and won’t mind sharing. I have a fenced in yard at home that I share with my wife and our dog Belle. When it’s not too hot Belle gets a long walk every day, and can go in and out to the yard as she pleases. I will ensure I give the same level of care to your dog as I would my own both in and out of my home.


15. Colby C.

“You can’t beat Colby for kind, attentive care for your dog. He’s got lots of experience and goes the distance for your pet and you.”




16. Nicholas P.
“As a dog walker on Rover myself for the last two years and a lifetime animal owner, I have a good understanding in what to look for in an animal caretaker. Nicholas would undoubtedly be a great choice for anyone’s animal. Nick is a level-headed and responsible young adult, who, for as long as I’ve known him, has been extremely passionate about the health, safety, and care of all animals. I have seen these attributes through both the display in his own relationship with his dogs and when he took care of my animals for me, countless times. He is understanding, compassionate, and a great communicator, which leads me to know how great a dog walker, animal sitter, and/or caretaker he will be! I give my highest recommendations as a friend and customer of Nick.”


17. Taylor G.

“Taylor took the best care of our little floof Auggie, and her pup River is now Auggies new best friend! So grateful for Taylor’s care and treating Auggie like her own. Highly recommend!!!”


18. Caroline R.


“Caroline is superb! Twix is always so excited to hangout with her, he jumps out of the car when he sees her home. She takes great care, sends lovely photos of him throughout the day and is very communicate and accommodating. Thanks Caroline 😊”


19. Ashley R.

“Ashley took great care of my Facui. She get very nervous in new environments, but Ashley took her in like she was one of her own. Provided numerous photos of playtime. Very flexible and accommodating.”


20. Kathy S.
“My dogs absolutely LOVE Kathy, including my shy / anxious dog who really only likes about 6 people! 🤣 Kathy is great at reading dogs' energy - she was really patient and let my nervous dog approach her first. I'd highly recommend her - she's dependable and always positive!”
