Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

We stumbled upon
a few months back while trying to locate a boarding option for our cute goldendoodle puppy and I must say we are very thankful to rover for providing such an amazing means of connecting with boarders.
Firstly we never intended to board our dog in the typical hotels available out there. In addition to charging a bomb, they are also very limited in caring for your dog on a daily basis. We have boarded our dog with 2 different boarders found on
, which also includes a one month stay since we had to travel out of country. The first boarder experience was above average, but the second boarder has been exceptionally well.
The entire process is very simple and should not take more than a few minutes to book a stay. There is also a «meet and greet» program offered where we can meet the boarder before finalizing the stay. Although we did not use this feature, but I am sure that many people will vouch for how great that option can be. Other than that you can also read the entire profile of the boarder + their home where your precious one will be spending his/​her time. There is also insurance provided by the website which is pretty handy in case something happens on your back and your pet needs to visit the vet. But the most amazing thing is that the boarder always sends lotttssss. of pictures and videos while you are out. Trust me that really helps ease you down and also gives mental satisfaction on seeing how your baby is doing. I am not sure whether this is a policy of the website or just our boarder, but keep up the great work !!!
Needless to say we will be using rover again in the future whenever we need to travel and cannot take our dog with us. We know it really is in safe hands…

First time ever using a dog boarding service for my little girl and to my surprise it was very easy and my dog sitter was so wonderful! I had a «meet & greet» which I thought was nice because you get a feel for the sitter and also it’s a good chnace to see if your dog feels comfortable in the environment. My sitter was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. While I was away, she sent me lots of pictures of my dog, which reassured me that everything was going well. I was very pleased with her services that I booked her again with a two weeks time period :)
And another thing, you can find a dog sitter pretty much very close to home as you can search by location.
Would definitely be using
in the future and I’ve actually recommended to a few people as well :)

This is my second time boarding Sasha with
and again Cheryl was totally awesome! I love everything about our experience, from the meet and greet, to the daily texts and pictures she sends helps keep me posted on what she is up to. Cheryl is very organized and neat and takes detailed notes pertaining to our dog’s habits and quirks and it is obvious that she absolutely loves the dogs. She only takes one dog at a time so your baby will have her undivided attention! I know Sasha loves Cheryl because when we go for a walk around her neighborhood, she turns into Cheryl’s driveway and wants to walk up to her front door. I have to drag her away, and she is constantly checking to see if Auntie Cheryl is going to be coming out! I can now leave town with a clear conscience knowing that Sasha is in really good hands while we are on vacation!

We had such an awesome experience dog boarding with Patrick. Our Maltese puppy Colbie had such a great time with his dogs Sophie and J.P. We got picture updates everyday showing all their adventures together. Patrick from our initial meeting all the way through was a true professional and explained his routine with the dogs and always felt very confident that Colbie was in great hands. I can’t recommend
enough!

This site is very easy to use and having the app also really helps when not at a computer. We did out meet-​n-​greets and then found the dog sitter of our choice for our 9-​day vacation. Our dogs loved the sitter and we were happy with the care and service she provided them. You can also find great deals as everyone on Rover determines their own pricing.

We have had several great experiences with
. When we first got a dog we looked at kennels and other options for dog boarding, but didn’t see anything we liked. We looked on
and found several families in the area who were willing to watch our dog for $ 20/​night. That’s a much better deal than a kennel, and our dog is staying with a family who watches her and has other dogs to socialize with.
Each time we leave our dog with a new sitter we exchange a few messages, then have a meet and greet to make sure it’s a good fit, then if it looks good we arrange the stay. I pay the full cost of the stay up front, and the sitters get paid a few days after the stay is complete.
The website is really easy to use. There’s a lot of information about each sitter, and I have a profile for my dog with care instructions. It’s easy to see the upcoming availability of each sitter and read reviews from other people who have hired them before. And throughout the stay the sitter can send updates and photos through the app.
I definitely recommend!

This is a fantastic place to find someone to care for your pet. They take the proper steps to make sure sitters are screened and prepared to care for pets. They also make sure that sitters communicate properly with potential clients and that they always have support in case of an emergency. I have been a client for only a month, but I will continue to use
whenever I am unable to take my «kids» along with me on trips.

I am very happy with my
experience and have found terrific sitters for my dog. Being able to read others’ reviews, do a Meet & Greet with my pup and a potential sitter is extremely helpful. I haven’t found any downside to using
, and all upside. Not all pet sitters are created equal, and seeing them beforehand lets you find a good match for you and your furry family member.
