“Receba is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of Rosie, sending regular picture updates that put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and she was super flexible when I needed to adjust drop-off times. I highly recommend her—Rosie had a wonderful time!”
“Paul and Megan were amazing with our dog, Totoro! We went on a 11 day vacation and Totoro was also on a vacation of his own. They took such great care of him and showered him with so much love, from the daily walks to giving him his medication and also playing tug of war. We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos and we had no worries while we were away. We would definitely go back to them for dogsitting! Totoro loved them!”
“Our first home boarding experience and we couldn’t have been happier. Easy to work with, great communication, and took great care of our dog. Will definitely use again.”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“This is the second time Elizabeth and Neil have kept our Cavachon Maggie. I can’t express how wonderful it is to know that Maggie is in a loving home and with her buddies Percy and Moonbeam. I wouldn’t leave her anywhere else!”
“We are so grateful to March and his family for taking great care of Billie while we were away. March was extremely communicative and it was very clear from his messages and photos that Billie was very well cared for and happy. We’ve already booked him for our next trip!”
“Yang took care of our son‘s cat during a recent wedding weekend. She was easy to communicate with, kind, flexible and helpful when we needed to make some timeline adjustments, and took excellent care of our pet. We will definitely turn to her again if we need to board my son’s cat in the future. Five stars and many thumbs up!”
“Livia was comfortable with Danielle and her family from the get go. Livia was well taken care of and enjoyed the affection from this puggle loving crew. Danielle sent pictures and communicated with us throughout our trip. We will definitely use her again!”
“Rupendra and Lora were amazing with Frankie! Highly communicative and flexible when we hit traffic returning from a trip. Frank seems to miss them already :)”
“Meena was very kind to us and our dog Pancake. She sent pictures everyday, she walked him everyday and had him play with other dogs! She also gave him a shower before we went to pick him up. I highly recommend her.”
“Deepika saved our trip to Boston!!! We planned to visit Boston with our 2 dogs, a Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd mix, and walk around the city. We realized too late that many places had animal restrictions, and we could not take the dogs with us. I sent messages to approx 8 Rover people late night and Deepika was the only person that responded in a short time, I was able to coordinate with her the care of the dogs for the next day without issues. She kept us informed every hour of the dogs whereabouts with pictures and videos, also messages of the activities she was conducting with them. Took them for walks and fed the dogs without issues. I just want to make sure that people knows that Deepika is the GO TO person if you visit Boston and need someone who really take care of your pets like a family.”
“Luke was the best dog sitter for our Jack Russell Terrier! He went above and beyond when our flight home was canceled and was able to accommodate. He was extremely thorough with communicating to us and providing photos of our pup which made us feel so grateful to have someone who loves dogs. We would recommend Luke without hesitation and look forward to having Luke care for our dog again!”
“Surendra has been so great through multiple stays with our dog! Our dog always comes back happy which is a great sign and hasn’t happened with other sitters. She is excellent at communicating and sending photos. Highly recommend!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Greg. He was very communicative about everything and sent us pictures and videos. We would have our dog stay with him again.”
“100% recommend David and his family! They made sure our dog was comfortable and safe during his stay. We loved getting pictures of Milo throughout day and could tell he was having a great time. David was very quick to respond and very flexible in scheduling. He even kept Milo longer than we originally planned without any hesitation. We will definitely be booking with David and his family again!”

Wilmington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Veena and Pluto were great company for Sadie. I was a bit nervous beforehand because she had never been boarded before, but Veena and Pluto made her feel right at home. The fenced in backyard allowed Sadie to get as much outdoor time as she wanted. They also had some nice trips to the park, walks around the neighborhood, and a trail-run. The frequent updates and pictures allowed me to enjoy my weekend stress-free, and I would definitely book with Veena again!
Our little old Papi had a wonderful time! Jessica was attentive, kind, and kept us updated with adorable photos. Her flexible schedule made drop-off and pick-up super convenient during our childbirth and recovery. We felt completely at ease knowing Papi was in such good hands. Highly recommended!
Jess took great care of my Golden Retriever and he enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs in her beautiful, fenced yard. She kept me updated with pics and comments daily. I was delighted with her care and attention and my pup came home very tired and very happy. I highly recommend Jess and her family and would request her services again if I was going out of town.
Ashley was so kind and really enjoyed watching Tella for us. She stayed in contact while we were away letting us know how Tella was doing and sent pictures. Tella seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up; she didn't even want to get in our car to come home! Haha thank you Ashley! Would definitely use her again!
Debbie and Ralph took such great care of Choco! He was a happy boy when I picked him up - relaxed, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with them. They made sure he felt at ease and gave him plenty of walks and love. So grateful for the care they provided. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!
David G is great. I am very comfortable leaving my dog in his care. He cares for my dog like it's his. I get lots of pictures. One picture is of my dog sleeping curled up just like when she is at home. My dog is not stressed when I pick her up. It's a calm environment for my dog and I am thankful to David G for taking care of my dog.
Once again, Kristen & Andrew did a great job taking care of Sammy while we were gone for 5 days. Although it had been quite awhile since his last visit, Sammy seemed to feel comfortable very quickly & bonded again with his pal Piper. Kristen & Andrew are wonderful communicators & they sent lots of pictures. Sammy looked happy, whether taking a walk, waiting with Piper for the delivery of a treat, or just chilling on the couch or under Kristen’s chair. Thanks to Kristen & Andrew for taking such good care of our boy!
