“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”

“Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.”

“Mary was wonderful taking care of our Stella for 2 whole weeks while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with messages and photos and was quick to respond to our messages while we were out of the country. Thanks so much Mary! ??”

“I was happy to find someone who would only take one dog at a time and also works remotely! That is his norm and he can get stressed when he's with too many new dogs and not enough time to chill. I felt like he got great care with Julia and I'm grateful to have found her through Rover! She sent us updates which my whole family loved to hear and see. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Jordan was amazing with my dog! She sent frequent picture updates, which I really appreciated, and my dog looked so happy the entire time. She honestly didn’t even want to leave her place. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

“Our dog enjoyed her stay at Katie’s! Katie was attentive to her needs and her dog got along great with ours. Katie’s home is cozy and Finley enjoyed the large backyard. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!”

“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”


“Tre’Ana was an excellent host and worked with me on times and dates. Would recommend her to anyone!! My Hazel was definitely taken care of and so happy when I picked her up.”

“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”

“Happy with Sarah taking care of our two Husky dogs. We received daily update about the dogs and pictures. Dogs looked good and happy when we picked them up. Will book with Sarah again.”

“Reba was awesome. Our first meet up with her and Lyle went great, she made our dog instantly feel like he was at home. She sent many photo update while dog sitting for me. She had a huge backyard for my puppy to run around in and get some play time. He came home very tired. This will be his home away from home. She will be my number goto sitter for my pet.”
“Jennifer really helped us out when my daughter brought her baby to town and was worried about Dougie’s loud barking when the baby was trying to sleep. She kept him a few nights and he seems happy and well-cared for. She kept in good touch and made me feel assured that everything was fine…thanks again, Jennifer!”


“Jenny and co were all so great to my cat Qaswa 😁 She would provide daily updates with photos and videos of how things were going all day. They're very knowledgeable and understanding on cat's tendencies and did a great job accommodating her along with some other cats who were also staying over the long weekend. I definitely recommend housing your cats with them and I plan to do it again for my next vacation”

“Amazing as always! Lindsey is great at making our dog Roscoe feel at home and loved while we are gone and we can tell that he loves it there. Lindsey is such an amazing sitter with such a great environment for any pet.”


“Francie took great care of my dogs. Very flexible about pickup and dropoff of my dogs. Very good communication beforehand and during the stay. I will definitely ask Francie to take care of my dogs next time.”

“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”

“Nicole and Tim were absolutely great! Good communicators and sent photos and updates throughout our dogs stay. She can be a little particular but settled in immediately and it felt like she got her own vacation while we were on ours. Will definitely book them again!”

Jordan took fantastic care of my dog Bently! He was very clearly cared for and felt comfortable in her home. The photos of him having fun or having a nap were so great to see and it was very clear that he was happy and safe. I would absolutely trust Jordan with him again!

Caroline did an amazing job caring for Wabi Sabi. She was incredibly kind and attentive, and she kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages. Wabi Sabi was even smiling in the pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! I will definitely book Caroline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.
Our cat and anxious dog had the best stay with Kathryn. My pets loved her immediately and she was extremely kind, professional, and warm. She was detailed oriented and give me great updates throughout the stay. 10000% recommend her!!! One of the best experiences I’ve had with a pet sitter in the past few years!

Marissa was great! My Sunshine loved having another pup to play with during her long stay, and I always got updates on how she was doing (especially with things like eating, since she sometimes doesn't eat well in new environments). She got long walks, car rides, pup-cups, the total royal treatment! I would highly recommend Marissa, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.

We boarded our dog with Sarah during our wedding weekend, and we got so many photos the entire weekend. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up, they clearly had a blast! Forever grateful that we could get through the craziness of wedding weekend with the peace of mind that our goofy pup was in such good hands!

Alex is a fantastic sitter and our girl always loves staying with her. She sends us updates and pictures 2-3 times daily. Our dog had a minor medical emergency once while staying with her (through no fault of Alex’s) and she reacted quickly and exactly as we would have which was not just a relief to us but indicative of how much she cares for the pets she’s watching. We would highly recommend Alex!

First time ever using Rover & GLAD I happened to find Charles “Chaz”. He’s conveniently located, great with communication, easy to work with & my furbaby had a BLAST with him & Stellla!!!! I’ll mos definitely be in touch again! If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur bay, Chaz IS the guy!

Chelsey watched our Lab puppy over the holidays and did a great job taking care of her and making sure she got her daily medications. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos! She went above and beyond to help us navigate the pickup situation on the back end, we are truly very appreciative. Would definitely use again!
