Victoria was great with my puggle for a ~2 week stay. She sent periodic pics and updates, gave her medications, and had no issues. Would definitely rebook in the future.

Claude LOVED LOVED LOVED his stay with Ryan and Luna!! Could not recommend them more highly - they are AMAZING! And we will most definitely be leaving Claude with them again! Ryan was incredibly friendly, loving and caring towards Claude and an absolute pleasure to correspond with, right from our very first meet and greet. We got LOADS of pics and we could tell Claude was having an absolute blast with them! Luna was ofcourse a total darling too, even though Claude decided to rest his paw on her and took up most of the bed / sofa space. We even had to extend the stay at the last minute given our travel situation and they were super accommodating. THANK YOU AGAIN - ya'll are the best!

Phi was wonderful. He sent me pics throughout my pup’s stay and when my travel plans got extended unexpectedly, he was super kind to care for her an additional night. This was my 1st time using Rover. Thank you for this positive experience!

Philip took excellent care of Casper. He took Casper out on multiple walks during the day. He sent us updates and shared photos multiple times a day. We were completely at ease knowing our baby was having a good time. Thank you Philip! We will definitely use your services again in future.

Ilya was an amazing communicator, and I could tell our pup loved him. He lives so close to the park and works from home that she got more walks than she ever does with us! Will definitely be having her stay with him again.

Jim was fantastic taking care of our pup. It was her first time without us, and it’s not clear if the separation anxiety was on her side or ours… But videos and texts from Jim showed that she was being her usual happy self, which made us feel so relieved. Will definitely rebook with Jim again when we are next out of town.

Lydia is amazing and I am so glad I was able to book a stay with her! I was very nervous about leaving my 2.5yr old, Hank, with someone new to him for the first time, but it could not have gone better, all thanks to Lydia. I could tell from the many pics she sent me while I was out of town that Hank was having a great time and he had completely fallen for her. Her regular updates were really reassuring and allowed me to focus on the purpose for my trip out of town. Lydia is just great and I hope I'll be able to board Hank with her again.

We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter than Donna! She sent updates every day, and made sure our dog got plenty of play time. I think our dog was sad to leave!

Ethan was prompt for both drop off and pickup, and I loved receiving frequent videos and pictures showing how happy my dog was. My dog was upbeat and healthy when I picked him up. It was nice to leave him with someone I could trust.

Katerine is very responsive and attentive. We were able to meet at a local Petco to familiarize ourselves and our dogs. She sent updates and pictures of my dog and had no issue when I picked up my dog a day earlier than our contract (which was revised and updated with Rover). Overall a great experience and would use Katerine again!

Sarah is wonderful! She was lovely, responsible, and fabulous with our pup who stayed with her for a whole week, and she was perfect in her communication with me. Our dog can sometimes be a little difficult on leash, and she managed him beautifully. She really helped me feel comfortable while away, in not needing to worry at all about my dog. She was also incredibly flexible as it was better for me to drop him off a day earlier than initially planned. I fully and completely recommend Sarah (though I don't really want to because I know she'll become hard to book!).

Matias was so great watching my beagle Casey! She had a great time running and playing in the field by his house, and Matias kept me updated daily with her status! I could tell she was even sad to leave and can’t wait to use Matias again!

Harry had the best time with Michelle! She sent tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how he was doing (he made himself right at home). He got plenty of walks and was fed and tired when we picked him up.

Jo and Adam did an incredible job with our 8-month old puppy!! Dropoff and pickup were totally smooth, not complicated at all. They gave us lots of photo updates (which gave us a lot of peace of mind). Our puppy had a great time, and we wouldn't hesitate to board with them again!

Frederica and her partner took such good care of my dog! It had rained and the residual water in my dogs coat made him itchy- they let me know and gave him a bath with sensitive dog shampoo and he was good as new before he got home to me!
