Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

Rover made it easy to find care for my girls when we went out of town for a long weekend! No kennel boarding. The site allowed me to pick a caregiver and walk me through step by step through the process. Will definitely use again.

So glad I found
for dog boarding and walking! I was really nervous about trying it out for the first time, but the process was simple… kind of like AirBnB for pets. I guess your experience could vary depending who you send your pet to, but
makes it easy to connect you with someone you could trust based on reviews and meet and greets and very detailed information/​introduction pages. Will be using again and again from now on~

I did a trial day to make sure I was comfortable, the set up is fantastic and makes it easy to find someone to watch your dog. Highly recommend it! But do your research to make sure the quality of care is to your standards!

Great service!
Super easy to use and a great way to board your pets.
My dogs had a great time with the caretaker I found!

Best dog boarding solution out there for your sensitive canine friend. Our dog Cairo almost always had a physical response to the stress of staying at a kennel and being around constant barking: excessive shedding, sleeping for days afterward, and even showing permanent facial paralysis after one 4-​night stay. Asking family or friends to watch him after that could sometimes feel burdensome. When we moved to Houston, we had to look for a new solution and came across Rover!
This website is so easy to use. They’ve thought of everything! Most importantly, Cairo loves our dog sitter. It is more affordable and comfortable than taking him to a kennel, and he gets so much more attention and positive stimulation with this option. Rover is now our first choice any time we have to go out of town and can’t take Cairo with us.

Rover is a great dog boarding and doggy daycare service! It is normally less expensive then normal boarding but your dog actually gets more attention and care! I love it and would highly recommend.

I have never boarded my dog before, always used a friend or family member to watch my pug. But one weekend, I just couldn’t find a sitter for him. I really didn’t want to use the vet, since we were going to be gone 5 days and that’s just too long in a kennel. I used
and was able to select a sitter that looked like a good fit: had an older dog, good user reviews, availability for my weekend. It worked out great! I got daily photo updates, and my dog was very happy when we got back. I strongly recommend this website!

Great experience with Rover! Super convenient and the sitters who watched our dogs were so great, our dogs always come back home happy!

I love Rover for my Dog Boarding and Sitting needs! They post ratings and reviews of the different sitters and my dog gets the one on one attention I want. The sitters send you updates and pictures during their stay.

Completely unreliable. Don’t use Rover unless you intend to send your dog to different sitters each time you go out of town. Rover sitters do this as a side job and don’t take it seriously.
I tried a sitter who took care of my dog once but every time I try to ask her, she has her own personal plans and cannot take care of my dog. Her calendar is not even updated as she says she has her own personal plans for the dates that show as available on her calendar. This sitter’s name is Jenny. Any dog sitter who is serious about their business would know that their clients need their services during the major holidays more than any other time. Who needs a sitter who is never available during the holidays? FYI, I know that any dog boarding services need to be booked well in advance for any holiday so asked the sitter 2 – 3 months in advance. Rover never apologized for individual sitter’s behaviors as Rover customer service says it is all up to the individual sitters. I was hoping this would be a good alternative to Rover Oaks boarding but clearly not.
I go on 4 – 5 vacations a year and host dinner parties every other month. This is not a way to treat a customer who could have spent significant amount of money on your services.

Guys rover is amazing.
Convenient and fast. That’s what’s most important. I went to Chicago last minute. I was asked all my friends and they had plans. I was at the dog park and a neighbor told me about Rover. So i got on line and found someone with great prices and history with other dog owners. Did a meet and greet My dog Appa loved her and the other animals. He was there for four days and when I came back he did not want to leave. Also he was on meds that he had to have every two hours because for a red eye. Appa was all better when I got back. I will be using Rover again.

A great dog boarding option. You’re in constant communication with your dog host/​sitter throughout the stay so you’re never left wondering what is happening. Also, the ability to select and choose a sitter that caters best to you and your dogs preferences is perfect, something you probably can’t find at a dog hotel/​resort. Also, most sitters on Rover probably love dogs just as much you do! In addition straight forward and upfront pricing really top off this great service.

Just moved to Houston and am traveling on the weekends quite frequently. Rover was a very easy way to find friendly, trustworthy dog sitters that are very close by and reasonably priced compared to pet daycares in my area. Highly recommended and very easy to work with. Big fan of what they have going on. I recommend downloading the app on your phone for convenience purposes.

saved the day when we needed dog boarding on short notice. Our sitter was so prompt and took such good care of our Ridgeback that we’ve already booked our next stay. It was easy to set up, all done securely and without any hassles.

I’ve used
for dog boarding a couple of times. It really depends on the sitter you end up with. The ones I’ve used love animals and it shows. You know your dogs are in good hands. Some of them work during the day and have to leave the dogs by themselves for the whole day, but they let the dogs sleep with them on their beds, even puppies not completely potty trained. Awesome animal lovers!

My experience with rover was amazing. I was hesitant to trust this site at first, since most dog boarding sites will charge you (I’m assuming for background checks, etc) but I’m so glad I tried it! Our doggy sitter, auntie Brenda was so great! We didn’t get to meet beforehand since we were traveling from out of state (TX to NV), but we did exchange a few emails beforehand where she reassured me my baby would be in good hands. When we arrived to her home, she was so sweet and you could tell immediately she loves dogs. She was very good with my little girl, sent me daily pictures and multiple messages throughout the day updating me on how she was doing. Her dogs were great as well, and my baby made new friends! I will definitely use this site again for all my dog boarding needs! :)

We’ve used Rover once and place to again. Very easy process, nice to see reviews, and payment was secure. For my next trip I plan to book the same sitter through Rover.

My first review!
We got our little Gannicus about a couple of months after moving to Houston. He is still a pup and has great separation anxiety, so we were hesitant to board him up at a kennel. We found
and were delighted to know that we can look for in home dog-​sitting! The guaranteed insurance gave us a piece of mind while we traveled. The cost of an in-​home dog-​sitter ended up being cheaper than boarding up our puppy! We were also able to keep Gannicus in an environment that he is familiar with, which I think helped with the separation anxiety. Emily, the dog-​sitter we ended up hiring, sent us pictures every day of our little puppy.
The process is straight forward:
–You search
for what you want (in home dog-​sitting, out of home dog-​sitting, etc.)
–Contact potential dog-​sitters via email
–You will receive a response from the dog-​sitter via text
–Set up a meet and greet so the sitter can meet your dog
–Confirm that you are hiring the dog sitter
–Write special notes about the needs of your dog
–Pay dog-​sitter
–Write review for your sitter (optional)
Everything is coordinated on
, which eliminates the headache of having to coordinate payment, meetup, etc.
We will definitely be using
whenever we travel!

We recently moved to Houston, TX and needed dog boarding information. After reading many reviews, I decided to try
. I really liked that she would be in someone’s home and not in a kennel with a lot of other dogs. We chose John and could not have been more pleased. When we picked Charlie up, we could tell that they had bonded. John even sent us a text while we were away to tell us how much he was enjoying her company while we were gone. The experience was so good, we have already made arrangements for John to keep Charlie again.
is a very user-​friendly website. I highly recommend it and John as a sitter.

I have used
5 times and as far as I am concerned I will continue to use this service no matter which state I am in. The Website itself is very, very. user friendly. From reading about the pet sitter, accessing the calendar, setting up a date for the meet and great, to paying for the service could not be any easier. I like the fact that once you access the Website you’ll find a picture of each and every pet sitter registered with
.
I so appreciate
and the professional, competent service it provides for those of us that love our animals.
I highly recommend using
