“Vadzim was incredibly responsive with updates and photos of our pups. We felt very comfortable with them in his care. He let them get cozy on the couch and bed like they do at home and took them on walks! Highly recommend! Will be using Vadzim any time we need a dog sitter 🙂”

“Lauren and her family took great care of Luna! She was friendly and asked lots of questions. You could tell Lauren cared about Luna and making sure she was comfortable in her home. She was great about keeping in contact and sending photos. I’d definitely recommend Lauren and her family to watch your pup!”

“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”


“This is my best time leaving our Charlie with a complete stranger. I personally met Mana and liked her immediately. She seemed like a kind and gentle person, soft spoken and respectful. I was a bit afraid that Charlie might have little issues with her dog Iris. To my surprise they both got along well. Thank you Mana for updating and sending pictures and videos of Charlie. I will definitely come back to you. Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie💕”

“Megan was great with my senior dog and so flexible with our chaotic schedules. She has two sweet dogs who got along great with mine and I knew Whiskey Pete was in great hands!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Anna while we were away for the weekend. Anna was super communicative and Luka came home tired and happy. We would definitely have Luka stay with Anna again!”

“Maria is amazing!! Our pup can be a little nervous in new environments and Maria went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable and getting lots of time outside!! We got tons of updates and photos and I felt so confident that my girl was being well taken care of! I will certainly use Maria’s services again!!”

“Jessica was an amazing dogsitter for our pup who stayed with her for a full week. Jessica communicated with us often while our dog was with her and cared for him as if he was her own dog. It's clear she has a love for dogs and a lot of experience caring for them. Jessica's care gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would fully recommend Jessica without any reservations. ★★★★★”

“Kristen was absolutely amazing!! Our dog has such amazing great time with her & Osker! She was so attentive and thoughtful and gave us many updates throughout our time away (& great pictures)! It made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands.”

“Phillip and his family created the most loving and relaxing environment for Grouter’s stay with them. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Grouter had a great time and I had a wonderful vacation knowing my pup was in great hands!”

“Delaney was the best dog sitter I’ve had on Rover! She has a great set-up for boarding with a lovely backyard and a really sweet pup herself. She was very warm and friendly, communicated regularly with me about how the stay was going, and most importantly took great care of my dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her again and you should too!”

“Tianci took good care of Bagel! I enjoyed the shared Google photo album very much as they walked Bagel around the city and kindly also took him to the treat store.”

“Paige took great care of Griffin, our senior Schnauzer. She was easy to work with, responded quickly to questions and sent pics so we could see how our pup was doing. She is very trustworthy and a great sitter. Thank you! Brad”

“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“Mason was so great to work with. He was accommodating and professional and has a great place for boarding, including a fully fenced grassy yard. He has experience training dogs and seems to enjoy having dogs around and spends time with them. My mopey sleepy English bulldog found his puppy energy again while staying with Mason and his lovely dog Apollo. Highly recommend.”
“Gabby was a great sitter for Birdie. She was very kind with regards to Birdie's puppy antics and made sure that Birdie was well exercised and loved. I would definitely book Gabby again in the future. Thank you!”

“My dog did wonderfully with Eric!! He sent consistent pictures and was super communicative about how my dog was doing. He was great with my quirky goofball and we're planning on coming back!! ☺️”

We had a wonderful experience with Reid! He was reliable, caring, and attentive to Benji. He kept us updated throughout the stay and gave us peace of mind knowing Benji was safe, relaxed, and having fun during his stay! We can tell Benji had a pleasant time with Reid! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Hannah was wonderful with Lokito! You can immediately tell she’s an experienced and caring dog sitter, especially given her background fostering many dogs over the years. Since we’ve had some less-than-great experiences with sitters in the past, we really appreciated how understanding Hannah was about doing a meet-and-greet beforehand and welcoming us into her home. Her space was very clean and organized, which was especially important to us because Lokito has a habit of picking things up off the ground. Throughout his stay, Hannah sent us plenty of photos and updates, followed all of our instructions, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. We would absolutely recommend Hannah and would happily leave Lokito with her again!

Michael was a fantastic sitter for my dog Sky! He watched her for two weeks while I was out of town and took the best care of her — daily dog walk adventures, car rides, and local park hangs as well. You can really tell how much he loves dogs and if very respectful. I highly recommend booking Michael for your pet!

This was my first time working with Zo and I appreciate how responsive and communicative he is! He has a calming presence which is super important for my dog Duke. Even though Duke had to wear a cone on his first day, Zo was very accommodating and asked for as much instructions and details as possible. I also appreciate that he has experience caring for dogs with IVDD which means I did not have to over-explain how to handle my dog (which is something I often have to go through, and while it’s not expected of every Rover sitter to have knowledge of this, it was nice to see Zo have familiarity with this condition!) I’d undoubtedly recommend Zorian to watch your dog. The area they are in also makes for great walks and views so your dog is bound to have a good time!

Chelsi was so nice to accommodate us on a very short notice. She took very good care of them and sent us regular updates on when they ate and when they went out for walks and potty breaks. Chelsi also got them a few toys which was super sweet! Highly recommend Chelsi for boarding

Mason watched both of our dogs for a few nights and was very communicative, sending frequent photos and updates. My pup Charlie is nervous meeting new people, and he did great with Mason at the meet and greet and it seemed like he immediately felt comfortable. Would absolutely recommend Mason! Our dogs came home happy and tired from playing in the yard all weekend!
