Isabella took such great care of my pup! I loved getting regular updates and photos, and I can definitely tell my pup had a good time away from home. I will absolutely book another visit. Thank you so much!

Chad and family were great! Chad was extremely welcoming, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Chad sent daily updates and took Remi on his favorite walks. Sandy is a great host dog and Remi came home tired from playing! We will book again when needed and would highly recommend!

I was very pleased coming across Halley to board my fur baby, Niko. She is super nice and was a pleasure to work with. I can tell Niko had a great night with her and had a lot of fun time because he’s been napping on and off since pick up. I love how she is proactive and I will most definitely book again.

We could not be happier!! Our two dogs spent 3 days 2 nights at Debbie’s. We never wondered how they where because Debbie sent pics of them each day. We are convinced the dogs would have stayed there then come back. She was attentive and caring. Debbie herself has such a kind demeanor. We are blessed to have met her.

Eileen was fantastic! As soon as we met Eileen, we knew our baby would be in good hands while we were away! She really put our minds at ease and sent us pics or a video each day while we were away. Scout was clearly having a good time while we were away and was well taken care of by Eileen!

Our Louis is a 5-month old yorkiepoo, weighs 6 pounds, and has never stayed with anyone other than family. We were apprehensive about leaving him with non-family for 5 days while we cruised but did not have a choice. We searched Rover, chatted with a few people, found Nontombe and the end result is that we (and apparently Louis) completely adore Nontombe. Nontombe sent us videos and pictures and it was clear to see Louis was right at home with someone who loved on him and played with him. We were also worried about how Louis would get along with the other dogs being cared for but Nontombe outlined her plan to us to introduce Louis and what would happen if the dogs did not get along and the videos and pictures of Louis and the other dogs made us feel even more comfortable. It was also clear to us that Nontombe loves animals and is great with them. We recommend her for the care of your young and older fur babies and personally, we won’t use anyone else.

Lauren was absolutely phenomenal!! She was very flexible from beginning to end and took good care of my baby Kash. She kept me updated with pictures daily along with a mini report. If she had a question regarding his care, she didn’t hesitate to ask. I highly recommend Lauren and will definitely be using her again in the future!

Jessica was just amazing! My dog loved her and her fur babies!! She was exactly the perfect fit for my older sometimes grumpy girl. Jessica was easy to communicate with in the app. and very responsive. Overall, the best experience and I felt she far exceeded my expectations as this was my first Rover pet experience. Highly recommend her!!

Wendy was more than wonderful with our dogs! She sent photos and updates, communicated well and was so kind. I know my bigger dog can be a handful and she took it with ease. I will absolutely ask her to watch our pups again and will recommend her!

Sandra was super accommodating to my rescue. My dog is timid and withdrawn and is not too quick to trust. Sandra, her husband and their dog all made a like home experience and more for my babygirl! She event took her on a river walk! I will continue to book with her anytime I need overnight care. Sandra is the best!

This is our second time staying with Jud and Nicole, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They are such patient, friendly, dog-loving people, and your dog will no doubt have a vacation of their own! My dog is very hyper, and they handle her so well, and always send lots of pictures and updates. Stay with them if you can!!!!

I booked Savana last minute - late, the night before my trip. Savana was very kind, welcoming to my dog and responsible. My dog loved her as soon as he arrived at her home. Savana consistently sent photos and updates and kept me in the loop while i was away. My dog was so happy with her and it really seemed like Savana created a bond with him as well. She even offered to keep him an extra night, free of charge, because there was a lot of traffic on my 12 hour drive home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Savana!!!

Lexis is an absolute dog lover and was a great sitter for our sweet boy. She’s very responsive and sent pictures and notes during his stay. We met up with her beforehand so the dogs could meet, which we appreciated. Between being able to lounge on the couch, the bed, having her pups to play with, and the fenced back yard, it was a great space for our pup to stay a few days. We highly recommend and will use her again!

If you are looking for a Rover sitter, look no further. I was in need of a sitter on short notice and found Merrell. Her love, fun, and photos with my crazy whippet were outstanding, and I knew he was on Puppy Vacation within the first few hours. Her house is 27 miles from mine, and it was totally worth the drive.

This was the longest stay for our dog. We received pictures and messages which were welcomed because we had never left our boy long than 3 nights. He came home tired from all the playtime with Shonta's pet. I like knowing that he is well taken care of which allows us to go about our business without worrying. I recommend her for your pet's needs.
