1. Brenda W.

“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”


2. Kristina L.

“Our dog had a fabulous time with Kristina. He is an anxious dog by nature and often does not want us to leave him places or seems stressed out when we pick him up. This was not the case with Kristina! He was happy to stay with her, fell asleep on her lap, and was calm and happy when we picked him up! Thank you Kristina!”


3. Kevin T.


“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”


4. Jessica V.
“Jessica and family are amazing hosts! They took care of our pup like she was one of thier own. Super flexible and communicative. Would ABSOLUTELY book again. Can’t recommend enough!”


5. Debra T.

“Debra took such good care of our pup. Cricket can be a bit nervous in new situations but Debra put her at ease very quickly. They took long walks which Cricket loves. We got lots of photos and reports on how everything was going. We also appreciated the effort Debra took to be as prepared as possible for the things that would make our dog’s stay easy for everyone. She’s a gem!”


6. Erin & Kevin K.

“Erin and Kevin were great with Punky! We got daily updates about how she was doing and what they were up to together. For the first time ever, she was even a little casual at pickup time, rather than her maniac self. We know she enjoyed her stay with their loving family and would absolutely book with Erin and Kevin again.”


7. Melissa & Allan L.

“Pixel absolutely adores his visits with Melissa and Allan. They provide great, regular updates and treat him like one of the family. Thanks for another fantastic stay!”


8. Chelsea J.

“Chelsea was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our pug and provided many updates and pictures throughout the weekend. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be using her services again.”


9. Julia B.

“Finding someone new to watch your pup isn't an easy thing, but we are SO glad we found Julia (and Yoda)! As soon as we had our meat and greet, I knew she was a keeper. It's obvious how much she loves and cares for her own dog and she did just the same with our pup. Julia is communicative, outgoing, kind, responsive and was great about lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Thank you so much for taking such good care. We look forward to seeing you and Yoda again!”


10. MImi H.

“Mimi took phenomenal care of my very old and fairly awkward pup. My dog takes a very long time to warm up to anyone, and within a day or two of her stay with Mimi she was snuggling right in and seemingly very happy. Mimi shared regular updates and was very attentive to my dog — even arranging for a nail trim and picking up a prescription that we unexpectedly ran out of. I would recommend Mimi to anyone, especially folks with dogs who may need some extra TLC. Thank you, Mimi!”


11. Michelle G.

“Another great stay for our pup Zola :) Michelle and Scott treat Zola just like their own and are super patient with her reactivity which we appreciate! Lots of great pics and updates as always. Zola can’t wait for her next vacation. Thank you again!”


12. Sean H.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Sean, his wife, and their adorable dog, Petra, took amazing care of my pup. Meeting his wife and Petra the day before gave me so much reassurance, and throughout the stay, Sean kept me updated with playful videos and pictures. My dog clearly had a fantastic time and even came home proudly wearing a matching bandana with Petra’s! I’ve already booked with them again for later this month.”


13. Kevin E.

“Kevin watched my dog during a difficult time (due to my dog's fear of fireworks). She was as comfortable as possible given the circumstances. Seems like a nice quiet environment for older dogs.”


14. Danielle & Joy M.

“Dani and Joy have watched my dog twice now. Once for several days as a super emergency and just recently for a planned stay. Both times they’ve been so attentive and caring with my pup who’s been on meds and can be quite needy. So appreciative of them for taking good care of my baby!”


15. Angelique T.

“Second stay for my two dogs. Angelique gave great communication, lots of pictures, good updates and lots of patience for my sometimes wild dogs. I appreciated the walks and lots of cuddles my dogs received, they are happy and tuckered out. They’ll be back soon!”


16. Maria & Kalyan Q.

“Maria and Kalyan provided great care for our pup while we were out of town for a few days! We got a ton of detailed updates and felt overall very comfortable leaving our dog with them. Their dog Nikko became great friends with ours as well 😁”


17. Kimiko A.

“Kimiko was the best dog sitter we have ever had for our dog. She sent lots of updates with both text and photos. Our dog clearly had a great time! We will definitely hire her again.”




18. Martha V.

“Martha and her entire family (her daughter is ADORABLE, by the way) were so wonderful!! Tons of pictures, extremely friendly, and they were so kind and flexible when my and my husband's flight schedules were constantly changing. Absolutely would recommend them again!”


19. Catherine K.

“Catherine was excellent! She was very prepared and comfortable working with our dog. She sent plenty of photos and videos and took our dog on long walks to exercise him. We felt very assured and would definitely book with her again. Thanks, Catherine!”


20. Anne L.

“We booked with Anne last minute as our original pet-sitter fell through. Just after a quick meet-and-greet, we were able to go on our week long trip with peace of mind, knowing that our sassy corgi would be well taken care of. Anne sent daily pictures and videos which we loved! We would recommend Anne in a heartbeat. Thank you, Anne for taking such great care of our fur baby!”
