“Absolutely great care for my puppy. Always supervised interactions with other dogs. Attention and care around the clock. Pictures and videos and both everyday and multiple times a day. My puppy made so many friends it was like she was the one on vacation.”


“I wasn’t able to make my booking with Ashley due to some unforeseen family circumstances, but I did make sure she was paid for her inconvenience regardless. Lovely person & and I’m sure a great sitter! Hopefully, I will be able to use her services in the future!!”


“Kelly was awesome for our girls first stay away from home. She updated me throughout our 3 days away so that I had peace of mind and knew they were being well cared for. They came home happy and tired! Thank you Kelly!”


“Melissa was very flexible and communicative. My dog stayed with her for an overnight on New Year’s Eve. She sent me 2 pictures of him which was very nice. Simple and easy and my dog came home happy”


“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”



“Danielle was great with Kiwi! She was professional and knowledgeable from the start. Kiwi gets a little separation anxiety since she's still a pup but Danielle knew some tricks to ease Kiwi's tensions right away. I'd definitely book with Danielle again.”


“Jessie was the perfect choice to watch our dog Mabel. He spent a lot of quality time with our dog and his two dogs were the perfect play pals. Jessie provided us with regular updates on Mabel to keep our worries at ease. He also included pictures. As this was our first time away from our dog he made sure everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a better first Rover experience.”


“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”


“Jessica is fantastic! She is very loving, kind, and communicative! 1 of our 2 pups is special needs and she kept us in the loop with everything and sent pictures. Both puppies came back so happy!”


“This young couple was Awesome!! My elderly cat hides from strangers when they visit my home and has never stayed away from us. Plus she is Very insecure and needy with us, her pet parents. We Had to find a sitter for her due to a death in the family forcing us to travel out of town for several days. I was very afraid she would be traumatized and maybe not recover, as she’s old and has a cardiac condition. She Refused to leave her carrier when I dropped her off, boding ill. BUT! Chelsea & Derek provided photos of Chelsea actually Holding her and said she even sorta got along with one of their cats. I didn’t think either was even possible. I don’t know How they accomplished That, some kinda magic maybe but this young, very pleasant and personable couple Obviously loves and has a way with animals. Their lovely home is set up perfectly for both cats and dogs, with lots of room and privacy options. We will Only use them from now on and I feel Very comfortable leaving my beloved Durga with them again. As an added, wonderful bonus, they are neighbors!, just a couple minutes from our home. Thank you Chelsea and Derek!!”


“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”



“Ruth did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. She kept me updated and even sent pictures. I am excited to know I have a new pet sitter!!”


“So kind! Lisa kept me updated all throughout my cats time there, sending me multiple photos daily. She had fresh litter waiting and plenty of beds for them to lay in. She kept them company and showed them lots of love for me while I was gone. Communication was great and I appreciate all of her help. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future if needed. Thanks Lisa for your hospitality! 🐱”


“I had a fantastic experience with Carol. She took excellent care of my two dogs, providing constant updates that kept me at ease throughout. Her attentiveness and communication made the entire experience comfortable and worry-free.Highly recommend! A wonderful setter.”


“As always, Mindy is the best of the best on Rover for pet sitting. Our very stubborn problem fur child loves her and her family and always enjoys his stay.”


“As all true dog lovers know, a dog is not just a pet, it is a member of the family. As such, I am very cautious about where and who I leave my dog with. As we had never had to leave our Violet with anyone, my wife and I were very worried when we had to leave our girl for almost 2 weeks. We did not feel comfortable boarding her at a kennel as we didn’t think she would respond well to that environment. So, we went to Rover to see if we could find someone we thought would be a good fit for our Violet. After reading multiple write ups on various Rover sitters, we found Erika who we thought looked like a good fit and was close to our home. At our meet and greet with Erika, my wife and I had perfect peace as we met with Erika and saw the home where Violet would be staying. Erika had a warm and inviting home, a fenced in backyard, and the perfect playmate, ( her dog Huxley) for our girl Violet. My wife and I decided immediately that this home and sitter would be the perfect fit for Violet. We were not disappointed! Erika loved our Violet as much as she loved her own dog and showered her with love and affection. She sent us daily pictures and videos of Violet and her dog playing, napping, and just having a wonderful time. She was having so much fun. We jokingly, worried that Violet wouldn’t want to come home with us after spending time with Erika. Ha Ha. In summary, any dog would be lucky to spend time with Erika. She is an amazing person and we were so happy we found her. This app only let me put in a rating of 5 stars, but if I could have, I would have put in 10 or more stars in rating her performance. We would definitely use Erika again in the future, if and when we needed to board our Violet. My only worry is that after reading my review of Erika, everyone will want to board with her and I won’t be able to have my Violet stay with her when I next need her. Ha ha.”


“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”



“Alexis and her family was great! My teen reads our dog really well (we call her the dog whisperer) and she mentioned how relaxed our girl was at pick up and even a tad reluctant to leave which is a SUPER compliment (she is a rescue and was abused before we got her so she is very high anxiety in new situations and also sometimes afraid of women). It was clear she had had a great time and a lot of love! We will use Alexis again for sure, thank you!”


“Wonderful glacier has a great time and was well taken care of. Good communication and received photos I was very satisfied as this was my first time using rover.”


“Best person ever to watch your dog. Absolutely would go to her before anyone else. Takes care of our dog better than anyone could. I can’t stress enough to go to her for any dog stay. Perfect!!!”
