Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

I use rover all the time when we go on vacation… much cheaper than a kennel and more peace of mind.

Rover is awesome. We found a terrific sitter for our dog boarding needs for a planned vacation we had set up and was even able to be referred to another Rover sitter when they were booked and couldn’t take our dog on an emergency situation. The sitters are great and friendly and are always mindful of treating your special babies with love and care.

I have been using a local kennel, which is okay for a few nights here and there. However, we have a three week vacation planned next year and there is no way I want to leave our precious girls to a kennel for that amount of time. After an Internet search, I happened upon
and their family style of pet boarding. I contacted one of the providers and she arranged a meet and greet at her home (with our dogs). We had our two dogs with her for a one-​week stay. Very pleased with their care! Our dogs were happy and so are we. I’m not worried about our upcoming trip knowing the loving care they will have in our absence.

Rover was the best dog boarding experience ever and I would easily give them 10 stars!
I had the best family ever watching my 3 dogs. I have found my forever pet sitters!

Rover dog sitting was the best find for our family. New town and feeling like you couldn’t leave because of our dogs. Rover came to the rescue with their meet and greet so you are at complete ease with who your leaving your pets with. Took me a couple of meets and I found the perfect match for me as well as my dogs. Thank you Rover!

I wish I had known about Rover before! Their prequalified and customer rated dog sitters are at locations all over town. I found wonderful ones just a couple miles from my house. I now have a home to leave my dogs at. I no longer say that they are «going to prison». Now I say that they are going to Dave and Darlene’s. They go into the pet sitters house happily and come home just as happy! It makes leaving town without them so much less stressful.

I am so glad I found Rover as an alternative to traditional dog boarding. I found them 2 years ago when looking for a place to have our newly adopted dog stay when we were traveling and it has been a great find. It is so great to have Riley stay in someone’s home and be a part of their family instead of in a kennel in a traditional boarding facility.
The website is easy to use to find dog sitters in my area and also to make reservations for when we are away with our favorite sitter.

I absolutely love Rover! It’s very easy to use and convenient (it’s got an app and a website, which makes it extra convenient). I’ve needed a dog sitter on short notice twice now and have had no issues with finding someone quickly and for a great price. My first time using Rover, I received regular picture updates about my pup and his dog boarding stay. Totally recommend this service!

I had a really positive first experience booking with
for pet boarding in the Phoenix/​Scottsdale area. The website is easy, intuitive, and gives you all the info you need to know before booking. The pet sitter welcomed my dog in to her home and was kind and very sweet. We felt immediately at ease– her home was well kept, clean, and had a big back yard with two dogs of her own. She even texted us photos of our pup throughout the night. Obviously the cost is no chump change, but it’s relatively the same as boarding in a kennel, minus the stress and anxiety inflicted on the dog. I will absolutely use
again!

I needed a new dog sitter on short notice and gave Rover a try. I have a blind senior so I needed the sitter to stay at my home. I met with Amanda a day before I was scheduled to leave and was hoping it would at least go ok. It went great. My dogs loved her immediately. She sent me pics daily. The only thing I’d change is how quick they deduct from your card– instantly when booked, not at time of the trip. I now wait to officially book until right before I leave. It isn’t screwing the sotter some they don’t get paid for about 2 days AFTER the job is done. Pain in the ass but easier for expense purposes. Overall, highly suggest and I even referred the site to a colleague today.

We have always been skeptical of leaving our dog with strangers. Whether it’s at a «reputable» kennel or other facility or a pet sitter’s house.
is the answer. They are an excellent dog boarding/​dog sitting option for us. They have an exhaustive screening process that includes background checks and training options for their members that enhance the value of their service. You get the chance to meet as many prospects as you want so you can make an informed selection of just the right sitter in your area for you. We took the «stay in our home/​overnight» option so that our dog could stay on her regular routine. As others have stated, many of their sitters are booked quickly so it’s important to begin looking as soon as you know your travel plans.
is highly recommended.

We have loved our experience with
so far! The site and app are so easy to and use and we feel safe with our sitter and the site. Every transaction has been simple, quick and safe.
Monica and Erica have both been wonderful to work with and have really gone out of their way in taking care of our dog. Monica went above and beyond in taking care of our pet.
Cost has been very reasonable and Rover offers a very safe and trust worthy way of paying for your service. The app is super easy to use and communication is user.
Rover will be our one stop for taking care of our dog when we are away.

The app is super easy to use and feels a lot like Über. Really works well!

is an excellent resource! Our doggies love their sitter. The system is easy to use and very convenient. Most of all our dogs are much happier in our sitter’s home than at a kennel.

is the best community in lieu of traditional dog boarding. I was pretty sure Eleanor didn’t even want to come home!!! Basically it is like
for your pet’s vacation while you are out of town. Simply the easiest and best service I’d ever used, they even sent pics of my dog playing all day. I paired up Eleanor with the sweetest family who already have two dogs, and she was in heaven without being too overwhelmed. And I was in heaven because I didn’t have to run out and get the bordatella shots or anything like that, she wasn’t in a cage, and I found a great family to watch her for only $ 20/​night.
After just one experience, i have found my first choice for my beloved pet when I’m out of town.

I was so happy with
. They made finding the right person easy to do. It really is a great new way to look at dog boarding. It was comforting to know that my baby was going to be staying with nice people who have a dog of their own and have genuine interest my dogs experience. I haven’t tried the doggie day care service yet but I’m sure its just as great.

My experience thus far with Rover has been wonderful. It’s so easy to use, and the sitter I found for my dog was beyond amazing. This is exactly the service I had been looking for because my dog would never be okay with being in a kennel while I travel and having her stay in a home with another loving family is ideal. After my first experience with Rover, I already booked my next two vacations/​dog sitting with the same sitter.

I was very pleased with the service of our dog sitter. She was provided excellent communication and pictures of how our Dakota was doing during his stay. I liked the whole
process very easy to use.
Tip — From the original list that I was provided, I did find that most were not available or already booked so I would suggest you start quest early. Doing the meet and greet also takes time upfront. For the ones I did the meet and greet with, I found them to be very thorough and professional.
I will be using my sitter, and I would definitely recommend
for your pet sitting needs.

Great experience with Rover and the ease of finding a fantastic pet sitter for all of our pets.

After just moving to a new state where we didn’t know anyone yet, we had to go out of town for a week and I was so anxious about leaving my dogs at a regular dog boarding facility.
helped me find a great dog sitter who stayed in our home while we were gone. The entire process from the sitters profile and reviews on the site, to the internal messaging and text message system, along with payment, insurance, etc all helped me navigate through the process the ease and very little anxiety.
We love Rover and our pups love their new sitter!
