“Erin was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while we were gone. Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Betsy B. was such a great sitter for Sparky. In our meet and greet Betsy made sure that she asked great questions to ensure sparky’s care. She took time to get to know sparky and me. During his stay she sent photos and videos and really put me at ease especially since my baby is blind. I will for sure be back for my boarding needs :)”
“Javi was well taken care of. Tim communicated with us and sent pictures. He was responsive to our text questions. It was our first time using Rover and we felt that Javi was in safe hands.”
“Kira is so great. She sends pics of my pup throughout the day everyday, and I never have to wonder if she’s okay. Super appreciative of how she’s super responsive and has been available last munite!!”
“My dog had so much fun with Promise and her family! Promise sent updates and was easy to communicate with. She took great care of my pet. I will book again with her!”
“Colleen and Joe were great with Tillie! Colleen was so friendly, welcoming, and genuine, I immediately knew Tillie would be in good hands as soon as we met. Very quick communication and sent daily updates with pictures during my trip. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others!”
“Martha and Eric are truly perfect Rover sitters. They have a fenced in yard, Eric works from home, and you can tell that they both love dogs. Our dog Ruby stayed with them for the first time for five nights. We received regular updates, photos, and videos and knew consistently that she was getting the best care. Ruby had so much fun here we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home with us.”
“Kevin did an awesome job taking care of my dog Chewbacca. Many pictures were sent and Chewbacca seemed to be very happy and comfortable lounging around on the sofa during his stay. He was well taken care of but we sure missed him during our trip. Thanks Kevin for taking great care of Chewbacca while we were away. Highly recommended and will use Kevin's "rover" services again when needed.”
“Maria was so caring and sweet with my Josie. I can tell she received top notch care and was loved while I was away. Maria sent me many pictures and videos of Josie so that I didn’t miss her as much. I would use Maria again anytime!”
“Lydia was a great choice to watch my dog for the weekend. Her communication was very prompt and she was accommodating during drop off and pick up. She has a fully fenced yard which my dog loves to explore. I loved getting daily updates and photos! Thank you Lydia 🐶”

“Arianna did an excellent job caring for Howie- she was incredibly thorough, communicative, gave timely updates, asked great questions, and kept thorough notes while watching my dog. I’d recommend her to anyone- even pets like mine with quite a bit of separation anxiety!”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for Rosie!! Her space is very dog friendly. Rosie has some anxiety, but she seemed very comfortable with Rachel. I appreciated Rachel’s daily updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Rachel as a sitter!”
“Elsa is absolutely fantastic! It was my first time using rover and I was overwhelmed on who to pick and anxious on who the right person would be. And I chose Elsa, And when I tell you all of my stress and worries went away when they stayed with her, She sent daily pictures which was very helpful. If you are looking for a great, Loving babysitter for your babies. Elsa is the one!! 10000000/10✨”
“Good communication and friendly. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. He also spent time with two kids in the house, and they were very respectful of him; playing and loving on him.”

Z is so tired! He came straight home and snuggled in on the couch with me after a night away at Jesika's. She's got an amazing place with a nice, shady, grassy area right out front for taking pups out and she's close to plenty of trails. I'd be more than happy to use her Rover services again.
Deneen took wonderful care of my dog for 5 days. He was pampered with many walks and snuggles. We received regular updates and communication before and throughout the visit. Deneen successfully administered medicine for an ear infection, which is easier said than done asy dog is incredibly particular and sensitive about his ears. We are very grateful for the care received!
Arianna did a great job taking care of my dog Chief in her home while I was out of town for several days. Chief has some anxiety around new people and places but felt right at home with her! She provided photos and updates of him, so I recommend her services to anyone needing help with their pets.
Carly took wonderful care of our dog Marty while we were away! We could tell he had a great time when we picked him up. She was quick to respond to messages throughout our booking process and during Marty's stay, and she sent us photos to let us know he was doing well. We will definitely book with Carly again, highly recommend!
Grace is awesome! We were going out of town for memorial day weekend for a wedding and totally forgot to book a dog sitter until the week before. Woody loved his time with Grace and it’s clear that he was very well taken care of. Grace is awesome at communicating before, during, and after the reservation. she took TONS of photos of Woody throughout the days that he was there and the constant updates from her were so nice and so needed since this was my first time using a dog sitter on rover. i’m such an anxious dog mom but Grace really eased my mind with her updates and photos which i appreciated so much.
Erika was so great with our pup! We loved getting updates and knowing he was living his best life (hanging in the yard, meeting new friends, getting lots of snuggles, etc!), and we appreciated Erika's communication, especially when some rainstorms were making him really anxious. 😭 We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.
