“Kristopher was beyond accommodating and flexible, so great to work with. He communicated quickly and even sent pics of my dog during her stay so I knew she was so happy there.”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”
“Ashley was amazing as always! We never have any doubts that our Harley is in the best hands when we drop her off. Ashley is great at sending photos/ updates which we appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“Erica was available to watch Atticus on super short notice and helped me out in a pretty tough spot. Atty is comfortable at her place and gets lots of play time! We are super grateful to have found Erica for both daycare and boarding!!”
“Beverly is an outstanding sitter! Her communication was top notch, she has a warm and welcoming energy, and our dog came home tired and happy. I hope she’ll be available the next time we leave town! 🤞🏼”
“I highly recommend putting your pooch in Paul’s hands! He was great at communicating and arranging all the logistics of our pets stay. We had a meet and greet prior so our pup could see where he was staying and we could all meet in person. During his stay we got lots of pics and texts. We could tell our dog was very loved and well looked after while we were away!”
“Sijie is an amazing dog sitter!! We had a meet and greet, and my sweet pup had a great time with her and her pup! We’ve already rebooked and look forward to our next visit. Sijie sends a great amount of photos and vids!”
“Totally Recommend Christine & Steven! Couldn’t have been nicer. Sent pics of my dog putting us at ease while we were away. I think Hazel 🐕 had a good weekend. Was out of town & wanted to go on a weekend trip with family. This whole set up on Rover was perfect. Easy to use app.”
“Katherine is a reliable sitter who is super easy to work with. Very responsive and attuned to our pups needs. Will be requesting to work with her in the future!”
“Phenomenal sitter. I felt extremely confident leaving my dog with their family and their dog. Loved receiving photos throughout the day and updates. The ability for the dogs to go out back and run around is really nice. My biggest appreciation is that they allow the dogs to roam at night and have the option to sleep on the bed with them. Highly recommend for any social dog that loves company!”
“Once again, Holly and her family were GREAT with Murphy. Her patience, care and concern cannot be beat - we're so fortunate to have found such a wonderful "home-away-from-home" for our Murphy. Thank you again, Holly! Mary”
“Eve was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pit bull mix, Maizy for an extended stay. My partner and I felt so at peace knowing Maizy was well cared for while we were on vacation. We were initially very anxious to leave her with anyone due to some separation anxiety and reactivity issues. Eve handled her with such care. We received daily updates with photos, too. I would absolutely recommend Eve for your pet!”
“Our curmudgeon of an old dog was not able to tolerate anyone outside of the inner circle, but Madeline made a good faith effort to help him and kept him well.”
“Our geriatric puggle stayed with Hal and Susan for a few days and felt loved on and treated like he was at home. They sent frequent updates and pictures of our little guy and cared for him as if he was their own house dog. We look forward to rebooking with them in the near future.”
“Roger That had a wonderful time with Gabe and Greta! Gabe was extremely accommodating and communicative. I got lots of great pictures showing a very happy Roger That! On our walk today, Roger That saw Gabe and Greta, and ran to see them! Tonight he tried to enter Gabe's building to see them again! It's wonderful knowing Roger That has somewhere he enjoys staying when I can't be with him. Thank you Gabe and Greta and cat!”
“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”
“Great experience with Stephanie. She did a great job communicating and taking care of our pooch over the weekend. Very happy with her care and stay! Thanks again!”
“Our dog Dobby loved his stay with Sydney! It was a perfect doggie vacation for him to play with her dog Penny and he was obviously very happy when we picked him up. Dobby is a tripod and Sydney did a great job troubleshooting to make sure he could get around their house as easily as possible. We definitely recommend Sydney to other dog owners and will be reaching out again when we need a sitter:)”
“Super nice and flexible. Really cared for our little girl as if she were one of her own. It sounds like Lily had a great time! We will definitely use Kirsten again! Thanks so much!”
“Good communication and easy coordination! Karilla and her partner bonded with my dog quickly and gave lots of updates during the stay. Would definitely book with them again.”

Alameda dog parents share their Rover experiences
Elaine was an amazing sitter! We were really nervous to leave our puppy for 4 days but we received frequent photo and video updates from Elaine and she was really responsive. My pup looked like she had a great time with the other dogs and we will definitely be booking with Elaine again!
Anita and Ronault were wonderful with Kona! They were so welcoming right away and took care of my girl in their lovely home! They sent photos throughout the stay and Kona seemed very happy and comfortable! I hope to be able to leave Kona with them again soon!
Joe was so lovely. My big guy has a lot of quirks and he was so accommodating. Would 100% recommend them.
My senior dog was very well cared for - happy and healthy and well rested. I would definitely recommend this pet sitter!
Not sure what we would do without them. Thank you for taking excellent care of our dogs for 10 years!
Emiline was great with Kya and took the booking on short notice. Kya has separation anxiety but Emiline went above and beyond to make sure Kya was comfortable during her stay. I would definitely trust Emiline to watch Kya again!
Fiona absolutely adored spending time with Aiden. Being across the country and needing someone to watch our furbaby on very short notice was a little scary to plan all together.. This being said, Aiden sent plenty of updates and photos and we couldn’t have been more at ease :) I truly recommend Aiden and know that if he takes care of your little bub then they are in good hands! 🐾
Natalie did a wonderful job watching our pup while we were away. We got lots of pictures each day along with updates of how she was doing.
Ryan was great! Great environment to leave my Swiss Mountain Dog. Nice yard and very friendly golden retriever for my pup to play with.
Erin was fantastic for our dog, Yonder. She took incredible care of him, let him romp around her backyard, and made him a part of her family. She provided pictures and updates everyday, and we can count on her for anything related to our pup!
Beverly is an outstanding sitter! Her communication was top notch, she has a warm and welcoming energy, and our dog came home tired and happy. I hope she’ll be available the next time we leave town! 🤞🏼
Dezzie was well looked after as usual, even got taken on adventures. Thankful for the last minute flexibility. Highly recommend Charlotte to look after your dog well.
Briana watched my girl for almost a week, and it was the longest we’ve been apart since I got her. She eased my nerves by keeping me updated with pictures and additional questions she had. My fur baby got along really well with her two companions. I would highly recommend booking with her, she is a loving and attentive caretaker!
Amanda was incredibly thoughtful and communicative. I absolutely adored all the pics of my Honey Bear on walks and hikes. I will definitely book Amanda again the next time I need someone to watch my special girl. Highly recommend Amanda and Ginger!
Layna took Tilly overnight for us and took great care of her. She sent lots of updates and some fun pictures & videos.
Eve did a great job caring for our dog, Jake. She obviously is very experienced in caring for dogs and understands and knows how to deal with their behaviors. We also appreciated Eve sending us pictures and updates on Jake over the several days he was with her. Highly recommend Eve to care for other’s pets.
Betty and Murphy enjoyed their second stay with Trent. They are always well cared for and we enjoy the photo updates!
Gabriela was very sweet and attentive with our very active do. She was communicative, kept us updated regularly about our dog's poops and activities. Our dog was well exercised and happy when we picked her up.
