Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

I am traveling with my Aussie, Indigo. I have used
twice and been very pleased both times. Brittany in San Antonio was the most attentive and loving person. She had 4 dogs of her own with a huge yard for all the dogs to run and play. Indigo stayed with Brittany while I flew to Napa for a few days. I never worried about her at all, and Indigo was treated as well or better as her own dogs. Karen in Kerrville, Texas had 3 dogs of her own and welcomed Indigo into her home to play all day while I shopped. Indigo loved playing there and had a great time in Karens home and huge play yard. In most areas, the only boarding facility available is a kennel where your dog is locked up in a crate all day, only let out to go to the bathroom. And your dog gets no exercise and is not let out to run and play very often. They just don’t have the personnel to pay attention to your dog. I admit at first
made me wonder if it was safe. But if you would arrange a «greet and meet» for just a couple hours at first, I think you will grow to trust the chosen sitter. Your dog has a yard to play, is gaining socialization skills learning to play with other dogs while you are away, and when you pick them up they are usually exhausted! Its all good. Another thing, the prices are very reasonable. A boarding facility will just put your dog in a box and charge a big fee. Your dog doesn’t like to be surrounded by barking dogs all day. Very confusing for them When your pet could be in someones home running and playing and having fun. Give
a chance, you will be glad you did !

My dog Craig had so much with his dog boarding experience through Rover. I looked into Rover because of a promo code through Petco. Even without the promo code, it is super affordable and our personal dog sitter, Kina, was great with our dog Craig. I highly recommend trying out Rover!

This is the greatest dog boarding service ever. The dogs get to stay in there house and are much happier. I’m going on a lot more trips then I could before. Thank you Rover for making my life easer

Rover was an amazing dog boarding solution for me when I was in a crunch. I had plans fall through for my pet care while I took a 6 day vacation. Found
2 days before my trip, found my sitter and she absolutely loved my pups and they loved her! Will definitely be using again, it was like having a friend dogsit, not a total stranger!

I’ve used Rover twice and couldn’t have had better experiences. Only dilemma now is which sitter to use… they were both great!

So much better then boarding your pet at a kennel. More like having him/​her stay with a pet lover.

Have had a couple of very positive experiences boarding my dog through this service. It is really easy to find a sitter close by and the website does a great job of setting expectations. I would highly recommend giving it a shot!

Had a great experience with Rover. The sitter stayed at my home and everything was in order coming home. She was responsive and would send pictures of my dog. Only problem was that she lost the dog tags when walking him.
Still, plan to use Rover again at the end of the month.

This service has changed my life! I made the mistake of putting my dog in a kennel over Mother’s day weekend and when I got back he’s was traumatized as no one was there overnight. I now have a dog with separation anxiety and cannot be alone. I desperation I started searching for in home sitters and found
. I was leary about letting a stranger in my home but found someone who has been background checked and she is WONDERFUL! She is always available and my dog is just as comfortable with her as he is me. Just last week with experimented with him going to her house for a few hours with other dogs around and he did great, Emily was in constant contact with me to let me know how he was doing. Now I know I can actually take a vacation and know he is in good hands… and the prices are more reasonable than a facility. Need I say more!!!

As far as dog boarding goes,
is a no-​brainer. I needed someone to watch my dog for a week — I hated the idea of leaving her and didn’t feel like I could put that long of an obligation on a family member or friend, so I chose to find a sitter. I was nervous about it at first, but
made it easy to find a sitter within my needs and my budget, close to my home. The sitter we ended up going with was extremely organized, patient and an obvious dog lover, and my dog fell in love with her on our meet-​and-​greet. During our trip, I received pictures and updates of how my dog was doing which put my mind at ease. When we picked her up, it was clear that she had a blast on her mini-​vacation! It feels good to have a go-​to sitter that I know I can trust.

I am so glad I found
!! Where I live, it’s $ 40−55/night to board my dog at a professional kennel. Instead, I can pay less than half the price for her to live with someone, who would treat her as I would! She gets all the attention and love in the world. This is an amazing service!

As a kid I remember dropping the family dog off at a kennel when we went on vacation, and I hated leaving her there knowing she was stuck in a little cage all week.
is basically the complete opposite of that! I was able to find a place for my two (kind of wild) dogs to stay for a week where they had the run of the yard, and I got pictures and videos all week from the guy who watched them. I think they had more fun than I did!

Love working with Rover. Really glad to have stumbled across it over a year ago. It is easy to use and we have had nothing but positive experiences for our dog, Max. Love spreading the word to other dog owners!

I love using
because it has been such a wonderful place to board my dog. I really did not want to leave her at a kennel for a week so I decided to try this instead. I have used 4 different families so far and have never been disappointed. My dog has been well taken care of and I always get photo updates on how she is doing. Meeting the families before leaving for vacation is also another great feature so I leave town knowing she is in good hands. I definitely recommend Rover!

I’m so glad I found/​used
. I was about to go through an actual dog boarding company and was really afraid that my Sophie would not get the attention she needed. I was about to meet with my sitter beforehand. She was very efficient and professional and had obviously been doing this for a while now.
I can’t even call Rover a dog boarding service because it’s so much more. It’s more like a home away from home.
I’d definitely recommend going through here if you need a sitter.

I was a little weary of using Rover for my dog boarding services, however, I was even more weary with the taught of having to take my spoiled puppy to a boarding place, where he would sleep on a hard floor, in a dirty facility etc…
All in all, I’m an over-​protective, first time puppy owner, single mother, who loves her dog way too much. I used a sitter who was incredible, I was able to go meet her, her husband, their puppy as well as their home and neighborhood.
They were super nice, accommodating, he wasn’t in his kennel all the time, he was exhausted for 2 days when he got home. He came back clean, no injuries and happy! Overall, great service, it’s worth the price, there are always promo codes or groupons out there for their services too! I will use this again!
In my opinion, you’d be silly not to. it’s a great service that’s worth the price you pay!
Oh…also the best part, my sitter would text me pictures while I was gone! Loved her!

Rover dog boarding and waking is a great service! I needed a sitter for new years eve, I found an excellent one through rover, she took pictures of my dog and sent them to me throughout the night. Also, rover have me excellent customer service, I highly recommend them!!!

I’ve used
to find a dog sitter twice in the past. The first time, I was already out of town and planning to travel somewhere else. Since I didn’t know anyone in that area, I reached out to a sitter on
. It worked out great, and my dog sitter was so sweet! If you’re looking in the Dallas area, I highly recommend Angellee V. Her prices were very reasonable, and she has a house dedicated to dog boarding. My little dudes had their own room with a giant bed on the floor and a bookcase of toys to play with! She also has treats galore, and gave me a gift bag of their favorite toys and treats to take home after their visit.
The next (and most recent) time I booked dog boarding through
, I was going out of town for Christmas. Knowing everyone else I knew would also be traveling for the holidays, I reached out to a sitter early. My dogs stayed with Nicole W. in Kansas City, who was fantastic. My old dog is never a problem, but my new 1-​year-​old lab is VERY high energy. I was worried about leaving her, because she can get a bit annoying after awhile! But it seemed that Nicole’s dog and both of mine got along perfectly. She has a security fence around her backyard, which was big enough for my dogs to run and play. While I was gone, it rained, and (of course) my dog played in the mud. So before I picked him up, she gave him a bath for me! Her prices were also VERY reasonable ($ 256 for two dogs to stay 8 nights in her home over the week of Christmas).
I will definitely reach out through
again. I’ve had great experiences so far. I’m ALWAYS going to be nervous to leave my dogs when I travel, but I definitely have some peace of mind with the dog sitters I’ve had so far. I can tell that they’re attentive and really care about the welfare of dogs in their care.

My dog goes to work with me everyday, so he’s very used to being around people and dogs all day. I couldn’t bear the thought of him being in a kennel day after day while I was on vacation. In looking for pet sitting services I discovered
. I found a fellow dog lover to take care of him at her house and she sent me updates and pictures the whole time we were out of town. He was content and relaxed, which gave me great peace of mind. As our dog sitter said about our dog, «He is such a well behaved gentleman.» Awesome!

Great service, we were able to find a very accommodating dog sitter near our home who updated us with pics while we were gone. Saved us a lot of stress in planning our vacation! Website could just use some small improvements to the search function.
