“Our dear Anna and Yoshiyuki once again were the best caretakers of Atlas that we could have ever asked for. We were on vacation abroad for over two weeks and there was not a single second when we had to worry about Atlas's well-being as we constantly and consistently got photo and video updates from Anna throughout each day. We could clearly tell Anna and Yoshiyuki loved her as if she was their own. We know Atlas already misses them and is looking forward to seeing them again. Thank you very much!”


“Alix is the best! She takes such great care of our dog and sends frequent updates. I can tell my dog loves being there and it’s just so nice knowing my dog is in such good hands. Thanks Alix!”


“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”


“Yizi is Amazing and is very loving. We love her and Yizi is now part of Meeko’s Tribe. We are so grateful for the True Love and support we have received from Yizi, one of the best caregivers found on Rover. We can’t speak highly enough of Yizi and as long as she’ll have us we will always rebook. Thank you for all the photos and updates.”


“Dohwee was amazing! Our pup was immediately excited when we did a meet and greet, you can tell Dohwee is a dog person! He gave us great updates and made sure to ask questions and our dog was happy to see us but also clearly would have been fine staying with Dohwee longer 😂”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Anh is fabulous. Prompt with communication and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy with her. She sends the cutest pictures and videos throughout the stay. I am definitely choosing her next time I am out of town to take care of my dog. P.S. her dog Bubbles is an absolute delight and my dog loves Bubbles.”


“We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.”


“Pluto had a great time at Xiaoting’s house. He daily sent pictures and updated us with how Pluto is doing. Pluto picked up good habits like eating veggies at their place. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby. We will definitely book again.”


“Emma was Great! She was so flexible and understanding in scheduling a meet and great as well as pick-up drop-off times. And, she sent us lots of excellent pictures and updates while we were away. Will 100% book again soon!”


“Winn took great care of our dog Mango on our trip to Boston! He sent photos and kept us updated throughout the weekend. He even brought Mango out to cheer as I ran past during the marathon - it was so nice to see her along the course! Highly recommend!”



“Lyn was great!! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone else and we couldn’t have chosen better. She sent lots of pictures and updates. It really looked like he had a fun time! She took Kobe to different places and he LOVES exploring and meeting people. I would HIGHLY recommend Lyn! She is all around the perfect sitter for your furry friend.”


“This is Mochi's first time with Natalie. It was great. We got several pictures of Mochi during her stay. Natalie was really responsive to messages and kept us informed. 5 stars for sure!”


“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”


“I felt so comfortable because Adriana is on time and took good care of my dog. She took my dog for walks often and provided everything he needed. I think she’s a really nice sitter.”


“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”


“What an amazing experience. My first time using Rover and Haowen exceeded all expectations. Haowen's apartment was neat and clean, and has many pet friendly amenities at his complex. His communication is superb and responses are very prompt (usually within mere minutes). All throughout the stay, he kept me posted with lots of photos. My dog was definitely well taken care of. Will definitely book again.”
