Yvette is caring, communicative, loving and reliable. I do not know what we would do without her. Elvis (our Cavapoo) loves her to bits and is always happy to board with her. Could not recommend her enough absolutely brilliant.

Wonderful pet sitter! Maureen took wonderful care of my dog. Our pup can be anxious/aggressive with other dogs and Maureen was accommodating even when our dog didn't hit it off with her lovely, friendly dogs. Thank you, Maureen!

Shawn was absolutely wonderful and put us at ease as first time Rover users. He was incredibly caring and attentive to Thor's unique needs and our boy was as happy as can be. Throughout the booking process, meet/greet, and dropoff/pickup, Shawn was incredibly flexible and responded to communications swiftly. A truly kind soul who exudes love for the puppers. His daily updates with photos/videos while we were on vacation were fantastic and very much appreciated! Many thanks Shawn!

Chandupa and Avi were absolutely wonderful! The entire trip, we received pics and videos of our dogs being pampered. The communication was consistent and considerate. We were updated on how the dogs ate and rested and they had thoughtful questions on how to best handle our fur babies. The entire time we were away, we felt like our dogs were getting the best care they could have gotten. At pick up time, both hosts had cute stories about the dogs and compliments for both, which really showed us how loving and caring they are. I would 1,000,000% ask them to watch our dogs again, and I know that my dogs would love every minute of it! They seemed sad to leave their newfound friends yesterday!

Pan is superb! We left our puppy with Pam, and we were a bit anxious because he’s just 16 weeks old, but she looked after him so well, he was so happy, she kept us posted throughout the two days, she sent us videos and photographs, through the time, we were so relaxed, knowing that he was well looked after. I will recommend her highly- she was very accommodating, very understanding, took care of the special requirements, and was very good with communication. It was a wonderful experience and will be back soon.

My husband and I had to travel to South Carolina for a family wedding and left our boys with Cathy. We had previously used Camp Bow Wow but during our honeymoon our first boy got sick from another dog there. Since we adopted another dog this past June we didn’t want to bring them both there and pay an exorbitant amount for them to not really pay attention to our boys so we looked on Rover and found that Cathy had incredible reviews, and for good reason! Cathy’s house was clean and organized, smelled nice, and was very welcoming for our boys. The back yard is fenced in with a five foot fence and she had toys there for the boys to play with. Her dog Dakota is so sweet and was welcoming to the pups too and they had such a good time. We consistently got such cute photos of our boys and were kept up to date on their status. Our one sneaky bugger knocked his food over and it opened so he gobbled up all his food but Cathy just rolled with the punches and didn’t make us feel bad about it. We also learned upon picking up the boys that our sneaky one had diarrhea on her carpet after eating all his food, but again Cathy didn’t make us feel bad about any of it. We are so happy with Cathy and felt like we were leaving our babies with family or a very trusted friend. Cathy will be our first choice from here on out. Thank you Cathy!!!

Rose took excellent care of my 9 month old puppy Tucker. This was the first time leaving Tucker for an extended time and he was in a loving and happy home while I was away. Due to unforeseen circumstances Rose had to take care of Tucker a few extra days and was so accommodating and understanding. Each day Rose sent updates including photos and videos to let me know how Tucker was doing. I appreciated the daily updates and knew Tucker was happy and doing well. She also provided pick up and drop off service which was an added bonus. I would highly recommend Rose if you are looking to board your dog in a home environment while away. I plan to use Rose and her services in the future. Thank you Rose for taking such good care of Tucker.

Kavyashree is the best sitter ever! I left Kobe for overnight stay for two days with Kavyashree and let me just say that Kobe had the best time. This was his first over night stay, I was very nervous at first but when I met Kavyashree, I knew Kobe would be fine. She was great with communication, updated me every few hours, send me photos and videos of Kobe and her dog playing. Kobe did not want to come back home, he wanted to keep playing with Oscar. I will definitely sit Kobe with Kavyashree again. Thank you Kavyshree and Oscar (for teaching Kobe how to eat watermelon haha)

Leslie did amazing taking care of our 11 month old puppy while we were away for a week. Cudi stayed with Leslie and her dog Jan and had a blast. She followed his schedule, kept us updated, and he had some new experiences during his stay. I’m so appreciative and happy that everything went well, it made our vacation stress free. Will def use Leslie in the future. Highly recommend!

Stefani is the BEST! We left our sweet Daffy with her and she took care of her as if she were her own :) I was a mess dropping Daffy off for the first time for a 5 night stay and got into the car knowing I made the best choice of a sitter. She checked in every day and really put my mind at ease. BEST! Thank you Stefani :)

Leo had a great time with the wonderful family. He loved the company of the kids so much I think he was slightly resisting to come with me when I went to pick him up. Got very regular updates along with pics and we would keenly look forward to them. Thank you again for being wonderful hosts for Leo and taking care of him so nicely.

My pup ran to Vanessa and didn’t look back when I dropped him off on his second visit. I was relieved that he was so happy to be with her again. Vanessa is an awesome Rover mom and we’ll be booking her every time we’re in town.

Shamsa was absolutely amazing. She was so attentive. She watched our 4 month old kitten and sent us videos and pics which made being away from him so much easier. I highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again.
