Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

Our first experience with Rover definitely wasn’t a bad one. We have actually used Rover three times with the same Walker for our pup and have came home to a very happy puppy. Giving Rover 5 stars because we would definitely recommend this to friends! Will be using Rover in the future due to our love of the great service you get. The App is definitely easy to use too.

I really wanted to like this site. Finding and setting up an appointment for someone to watch my dogs while I was on vacation was easy. I made arrangements for the sitter to come to my home to let the dogs out and feed them. The sitter sent me text messages when she was coming and going and pics of my dogs. I was really happy and excited to have found someone reliable to watch my fur babies during short trips. The problem arose when I got home and saw that the sitter had made herself a little too comfy in my house. She left crumbs and drink stains on my counter and kitchen table, sale ads on my kitchen island, and went through my catalogues. She also watched my television. While none of this was a hell worthy trespass, there was evidence that she had been snooping and had gone into rooms in my house that she had no need to enter. It also appeared that she had gone through drawers. The last straw was leaving menses on my toilet seat. I feel super violated, and it is highly unlikely that I will use this service again.

was a great experience! I know they offer dog boarding & dog walking services, but I needed home visits while I traveled. This worked out so well. Dogs were happy, healthy & safe. Great peace of mind for me! Will use this service again for sure!

We had a great experience with our
pet sitter, Robin. The service is easy to book and the app is convenient. We will use
again and again!

I just used
while I was on vacation and had a great experience. I found an excellent dog sitter and am planning to use her in the future!

I have used Rover twice in the last 2 years. I have found great pet sitters on the site. They have been excellent, reliable and trust worthy. Their website is easy to use to locate available sitters in your area and to communicate with sitters. So far great experiences.

I have used this dog boarding service twice and I love it. It is Air B and B meets pets! The prices are good and it is easy to find someone good with the rating system.

We had a great experience and our pupitter was amazing. We were afraid to leave our pup who we rescued with anyone except close friends and family he is my therapy dog and beloved family member, rover helped us to find a perfect match for our pups needs.

I have been using
for years, back in Oregon where we lived and now in Tucson AZ. I couldn’t say enough about the experience. The first thing I did even before I moved was locate a
sitter.
I have a very easy dog so the big plus for me is the convenience/​flexibility and price. I can’t believe anyone would still put their dog in a kennel for $$$ when they could be in a nice home environment. I have been gone as long as 2 weeks and there’s never been any worry. I even get photos just about every day with an update. My sitter is often available on short notice and, now that I can’t take my dog with me anywhere (can’t stay in the car at any time during the year down here), I can leave her for a doggy daycare if I’m busy all day.
The website is very easy to use to find and book a sitter, communicate with each other and it’s easy to rebook with a previous sitter. I honestly don’t know what I would do without
— probably just have to stay home all the time.

Taking our dog Lucy to the pet-​sitter is like taking her to her home away from home! The love, care and security that Diane provides for Lucy is 5-​star every time she is there. Diane’s home is comfortable, very clean and safe. She is very organized and professional to deal with and scheduling with her is flexible and convenient. We never worry one minute while Lucy is with Diane because we know she is loved and pampered! I would highly recommend her invaluable service.

I have used
, several times this year, with Veronica, in Tucson, with great results. Our first dog boarding experiences were fabulous. Our two Scotties, 11 years old and 7 months old, loved Veronica, and played well with her dog, Skippy. Veronica even bathed our dogs and laundered their bedding. Again, a great experience.

We finally found a great dog sitter, so for that, I give her 5 stars. But there’s a definite… shall we say «variety» in the sitters on the site.
The sitters who pay the site are the highest ranked on your search results, not necessarily the best. In my experience with one of these «premium» sitters, we made an appointment for a certain time and she texted us asking where we were because she had an appointment to go to. We told her specifically our dog has anxiety, and our first booking was a trial run to make sure our dog could handle a new setting. The sitter was going all psycho because she wanted us to dump our dog there so she could go to her appt. We finally said, hey, ya know, we don’t think this is going to work out and then she starts sending multiple texts like a crazy ex. I wasn’t even engaging in her psycho drama by responding. The texts would not stop. I had to block her from my cell. For real.
My other amusing story is the dogsitter who demanded only hypoallergenic dogs because he’s allergic. Sorry to break it to you bro, but if you’re allergic to dogs, maybe being a dog sitter isn’t the right line of work for you.
FINALLY with enough trial and error, we found a great person and NO I will not dish her name. We gave her a trial run, paid through the website, and all went well. Just don’t expect smooth sailing right outta the gate with this site. I’m not sure how much filtering and assessing
does before they slap a «dogsitter» label on any fool who pays them a fee.

is great dog boarding service, not sure what I would do without it. There is peace of mind that comes from leaving your dog with someone you can trust and know will devote time to your dog. My dog sitter, Alonda stayed in my house and sent daily updates. There are many great dog sitters to choose from with varying certifications and reviews. I will continue using
no matter where I go as I think my dog feels less stress if she gets to stay at home and be watched than being bored in a kennel with other dogs.

This is a great service and one I will continue to use as well as recommend to my friends with pets. My sister referred me, after our original Pet Sitter retired and then our new pet sitter had a family emergency. We interviewed two pet sitters. Both were excellent with wonderful ratings and reviews. The reason we chose Robin is because she lives closer to our house and our dog seemed to get along with her dogs very well. Robin was great, very helpful in getting us comfortable navigating the Rover site and did a great trial run with our pup. I will feel very secure when we have him stay for longer visits. This is a great service with well vetted pet sitters and a wonderful way to be assured that your pets are well taken care of. Thank you for a great service.

I recently relocated to a new area. Rover helped me find a great dog sitter for my 10 year old dog. The dog boarding in someone’s home worked great for my older dog. He came back happy and relaxed. I loved the daily updates and photos to see how he was doing.

I had a great experience using a
sitter to watch my cat. She was very professional, and really went above and beyond what we asked her to. I would definitely use the
service again in the future for either cat sitting or dog sitting.

My 10 year old dog had never been cared for outside of our home and only by relatives. When I visited friends out of town he was always welcome. I had a bad experience boarding another dog at a «luxury» pet resort, so that was not an option. In the last 6 month I have used the services of
twice because taking my dog to out of town social events was not an option. I chose Timothy in Tucson, after screening 3 pet sitters at meet and greets in their homes to determine if my dog was a good fit with the other dogs in their care and to observe my dog’s temperment. I was impressed with his dog friendly yard and home and his kind, patient, manner to make my dog feel comfortable. The dogs roamed the premises as though they were in their own home. Timothy’s children interacted with the dogs in a playful, caring manner. The night of his first stay, my dog was anxious so Timothy allowed my dog to sleep in his room. My dog eats only human food which Timothy prepared. He sent me a daily email and pictures describing my dog’s activities. When I picked up my dog, he was happy to see me, but seemed hesitant to leave his new canine and human friends behind. It was a very positive experience for both of us. The services provided through
are the best!

After we visited a few boarding places for out pup, we absolutely knew we could not board him there. My friend suggested
. We found an amazing pet sitter! She kept our pup on his schedule and continued with his routine. She set up a bed for him right next to her bed! She did a wonderful job keeping us informed on our pup’s activities. She sent us pictures of our pup a few times a day. Our pet sitter was awesome. I appreciate
! I highly recommend this site!

I stumbled across this quite by accident when I had to leave town unexpectedly and dreaded the thought of boarding my pal. The service is outstanding and i found someone within a mile of my house. I got pics and updates while I was gone. He had the run of the house and ended up sleeping on their bed with them. It was also very reasonable in fact, much cheaper than boarding.
I will use this service over and over again so that if I have to leave town it can be a seamless adventure for Rover.

I used
to find our dog-​sitter, Angel. The website was really easy to use and I found an amazing pet sitter that I’ve used more than once since then for my mini dachshund.
