1. Lee J.
“Lee is incredible! We boarded our dog Mochi with her for two weeks while we traveled, and Lee took wonderful care of her. Mochi can be nervous around new people and dogs, and Lee made sure she was comfortable and safe in her care. Lee is also super communicative and responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”
2. Teetouch P.
“I have so many good things to say about Tee and his family. They took amazing care of my boy and sent me several videos and photos everyday of him doing the things he loves. Playing ball. Hanging with the other dogs. I knew from the minute I met Tee That Ted would be in good hands. You can tell he really loves and enjoys hanging with the dogs! I am so happy and I would highly recommend him above anyone I’ve met on Rover!!!”
3. Sara B.
“After many bookings with Sara it has become clear that she really cares about my dogs and their comfort and well being. I feel very safe with her watching them when I am away. She is very prompt with responses and sends plenty of pictures and updates to boot. I would definitely recommend her services.”
4. Erika P.
“We are very pleased with the great care and communication Erika provided while watching over Sherlock. We highly recommend Erika and will be back again in the future. Thanks!”
5. Kim T.
“Kim and her partner were amazing dog sitters! They sent timely, proactive updates and made sure my pup was well acclimated with their dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
6. Alexandra O.
“Our dog Brody seemed comfortable with Alex from the first introduction and did very well in her care. She has an upbeat and welcoming manner, and a wonderful way of speaking to him directly. He often does not eat the first day or so that we were away but that was not a worry when he was with Alex. She understood his needs very well and took excellent care of him. I would definitely use Alex again for his care.”
7. Karen & Hisako N.
“Karen & Hisako were so great and patient with my anxious boy! He normally won’t walk with anyone besides me, but they got him to walk all the way around the block with them! Mini victory!”
8. Angela Z.
“Angela was so amazing and Nola had such a wonderful time with Maple! I got updates and pictures everyday and Angela really made me feel at ease. I’ve already booked again!”
9. Jessie L.
“Pemba had another great stay with Jessie, Cade, and Eta. They are so in tune with her needs and send frequent updates. Pemba didn’t want to leave their house! Thanks again, and see you next time!”
10. Danielle M.
“Danielle was amazing!! Took such great care of our pup Rosie, kept us up to date with plenty of pics and videos. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else and we are so incredibly appreciative of Danielle’s care and attention.”
11. Laura O.
“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
12. Angel L.
“Angel sent me one or two updates a day, even when I was busy & wasn’t able to respond back to her, which I really appreciated. She was very attentive and ensured both of my cats needs were met. My cats really seemed to enjoy their time with her!”
13. Hy & Arlo K.
“Hy and Arlo did a great job watching my dog, Enzo. With them I was able to put my worries at ease (considering that Enzo is very reactive towards other dogs). They are very trustworthy and caring. An excellent experience, I highly recommend them.”
14. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth took AMAZING care of our pup, Penny, during a recent 10-day trip. We got lots of pictures and updates that made it clear Penny was having the time of her life going on walks and hikes, having playtime, and getting lots of cuddles from the whole family. We'll absolutely be booking with Jeff and Beth again!”
15. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Chanakarn and Jake took our Stella on a last minute request on our part. Stella had a group of friends waiting for her and had the beat time with fellow furry company. Thank you for letting her stay with you - she was in great hands!”
16. Melina B.
“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”
17. Eleanna V.
“Eleanna was amazing! Her home is super quiet and cozy, perfect for our anxious dog. The homes yard is perfect as a play area as well. Eleanna herself has a very calming presence that immediately made our dog comfortable and at ease in a new environment. She provided constant updates that put us at ease as well, knowing our dog was in good hands and having a good time while we were away. Highly recommend and will be booking her again!”
18. Magdalena H.
“Great experience! It was my puppy's first time away and Magdalena & Espresso were wonderful and made her feel right at home. I got lots of photo updates that made me feel confident that she was well cared for.”
19. Mary C.
“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”
20. Nicola & Michael A.
“Both Nicola and Michael took such good care of my dog Lu. She was so happy when I picked her up. They understood very well, her needs and quirks. I appreciated that they were patient with her as new spaces can be a lot and she can be timid and scared. Will 100% book again!”
