Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

— Dog Boarding & Sitting was an accident and we are so glad it happened! We had missed the cutoff time at the local animal hospital where we board our dog and were a little panic stricken finding an alternative for our dog. My husband was at the dog park and saw a flier and called. They were very helpful and friendly and by the time he got home, they had already emailed several choices of pet sitters for us to take a look at. We found the perfect match and was extremely happy (so was our dog) over the recent holiday’s. We got daily updates with photos and our dog was exhausted from playing so much by the time we picked him up — he didn’t want to leave! So much happier than being in a kennel with little or no interaction with the people that work there like the animal hospital we had kept him at. No more boarding at the animal hospital for us,
will be our go-​to place from now on.

— Dog Boarding & Dog Walking turned out to be a better alternative than boarding. Booking a stay with a sitter is so easy and there is always someone available during the holidays. I felt that our dogs received better treatment than they would if they stayed at a boarding facility. The sitters also sent me videos and pictures everyday during our dogs’ stay. I highly recommend
!

is just the ideal dog boarding alternative. I have nothing against dog boarding places (my dog goes to daycare once a week!), but I tend to worry about her at night. We’ve had our 1-​year-​old dog Elska since she was nine weeks old, and our first time being out of town was for Thanksgiving. I was very concerned about Elska staying overnight anywhere, particularly at a boarding place, where pooches tend to spend the night alone. Does this work for some dogs? Absolutely. However, Elska’s first night with us was spent downstairs in the family room and after a long first night of non-​stop crying, she was moved into our bedroom, where she’s comfortably slept through the night ever since.
I pictured myself unable to relax during our entire trip, thinking of her crying every night, desperate for company. Finding
saved the day. Elska has now been with two sitters, and both experiences were incredible. I knew Elska was getting attention, having fun playing with other pooches also spending the night, and most importantly, Elska was cozily curled up and sleeping soundly in the company of her new friends. I loved getting picture updates, but I loved feeling completely at ease all the more.
As an information scientist, I also have to give some accolades to the app and website design. Very easy to use, and gives all the information I could ask for. Each sitter provides plenty of information, and all the reviews give nice specifics so that you can select who would be the best fit for you and your pooch. I only wish I had thought up such a genius site idea first!

Not that there aren’t a lot of other great dog daycare/​boarding places in the cities, but
is a lifesaver. Facilities can get pricey and are almost impossible to get into last minute (don’t even get me started on holidays), but there seems to always be someone available on Rover. You can choose someone based on need, location, lifestyle, etc. It’s really nice to walk the dog down to where he’s staying rather than driving 30 minutes. If wanted, you’re able to request photos and videos of your dog throughout the day. It really is just like leaving your dog with a friend. Couldn’t recommend it more.

I was very pleased with my experience through Rover. I was able to quickly find a fantastic sitter that was able to provide dog walking and overnight care that I needed. My sitter was fantastic, everything the reviews described. She was a great communicator, on time, sent me updates, and left me a detailed note. I came home to a happy dog and will definitely use the service again.

Dog boarding through
has been a great experience as both a dog sitter and an owner. My dog got to stay with a sitter and loved every minute of it. I got videos and pictures which was a personal touch you can’t just get anywhere. Being a sitter is great as well! I have loved meeting new pups and owners in the area.

Loved the convenience of using a service where they come to my home! I never had to pack my dog’s items and trusted he would be calm, secure, and happy in his own environment. Rachel was awesome and sent me daily photos and checked in with me. Will definitely be using again!

With a new dog in our family and a planned 10 day vacation we didn’t know what to do. Thank goodness we found
! We had a great experience and will definitely use them again. It was like our pup had a vacation too! Thanks!

It’s very reassuring boarding your dog with someone who has specific breed experience. As a husky owner, I’m always weary of leaving my dogs with anyone, but
has been a life-​saver. In fact, we have been so pleased with our experiences that we have started hosting dogs in our home. It’s so rewarding knowing we are able to give other the same peace of mind.

I have used
boarding 3 times now and have been very pleased. We have since moved and I am searching for a new place to board my dog. I wish people would keep there profiles updated. I look for people with no
Eats and when I click that for my search it still brings up boarders with pets or with kids. Please fix this on your site. The boarders are pretty reasonably priced, but some are way out of their league for boarding. I am glad I found this web site on Craigslist

dog boarding through
was simple and straight forward. Our dog was well loved and happy with all the attention he received. We will be using it again!

So happy with
! The site was very easy to use, and the quality of my doggie’s sitter was top-​notch. I had no problems finding someone to care for my pup overnight at a price that worked for me, was fair to the sitter, and provided a great environment for my dog. Thanks
!

Rover is a great dog boarding service. I was able to find a caring, qualified, communicative boarder quickly and easily. I appreciate that you can read reviews, search by location, and select dates. I will definitely use
again. Much better than being kenneled. My dog had a great stay playing with the host’s dogs.

is a trip saver! My husband and I love to travel but our rescue dog doesn’t feel the same way we do. he would rather we stay home and snuggle in front of the fire. Rover gave us the best of both. With our ‘in home’ pet sitter, we are able to get away for a few days worry free!
Our dog suffers from separation anxiety which made it stressful for us to leave — especially for more than a couple days. I wasn’t sure how it would go but quickly found out — through the frequent pics and updates, that our rover dog sitter was ensuring our dog was calm, happy and well cared for.
Thank you, Rover, for giving us back the opportunity to travel worry free once again.
Love
!!

I was in need of a dog sitter quickly and found a good one at a reasonable rate.

We had a fantastic experience with
. This was the first time our dog had been away from us, and he did experience some separation anxiety. Our sitter was fantastic, trying to comfort him and acclimate him as best as she could — even offering to let us Skype with him! The price was great and we will definitely choose
in the future.

The dog boarding service through
is quick and easy to use. We found the dog boarding family within 5 minutes of our house and they have been fantastic to work with. The
service makes the process a snap from start to finish. Highly recommended!

dog boarding pet sitters are a lifesaver! I have 3 dogs and it is always expensive to board them. This site allowed me to review sitter’s information and rates before booking an appointment. I was able to do a meet and greet to determine if my dogs would be a good fit with the sitter as well. The rates vary as the sitters do so you can select the best fit for your dog’s needs. There are also badges that indicate different experience levels/​certifications of the sitters. You can also get pictures during the stat and notifications via text or email which is super convenient.
I love that my dogs can stay in someone’s home and become a member of the family!

We have two very social English Springer Spaniels that we love to pieces. We prefer not to board them at a traditional dog boarding kennel as it is hard on them. I was so happy to have stumbled upon
. I was able to find a wonderful family in my neighborhood to watch my dogs during a trip. It worked out perfect! I received updates and pictures daily and they treated my pups as their own. My dogs had a great time! I already have my next trip planned and have reserved a spot with the same family again!
I would highly recommend trying

We find dog boarding to be a bit difficult sometimes, as it can be hard to leave your dog in a strange environment, but using
was so easy and was an amazing experience! I know our dog had a blast because she came home so tired. I received text messages and pictures throughout my time away which made me feel very comfortable knowing my dog was having a great time. The online setup was super quick and easy, as well as getting great follow up service. We will definitely be using
again.
