“Alejandra and her crew were awesome. Highly recommend! She is dog people and was able to handle my guy when he got there overwhelmed. My doggos were very happy campers! Thanks.”


“Gabriela and her family are our go-to for our Lola. Whether she stays the day or an extended time, we receive daily updates with pictures. Lola loves being there as she interacts with the other dogs.”


“Always the best experience with America. My dogs absolutely love her and her family. They're so attentive and truly treat my dogs as if they were their own. Another 5+ star experience.”

“Stephanie was SO great! I felt completely comfortable leaving our little one with her. She sent regular updates so I knew how she was doing which put me at ease. She was very communicative and treated our pup well. I would definitely recommend her.”

“We traveled to Houston for our wedding and used Kelly’s services. Kelly is very caring and friendly. She updated us with lot of picture and texts. I definitely book her again next time”

“Corina was very easy to work with and very understanding of my anxiety having to leave my baby with a new sitter. She sent regular updates with pics all during the day unprompted and I really appreciated that. She was kind to my fur baby. I absolutely would recommend her.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Vicki! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well-cared for, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept us at ease. Vicki was not only reliable and professional but also truly compassionate, treating our furry family members as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur babies, look no further! Highly recommended!”

“I had a last minute one week trip and needed a sitter for me dog and Terrell went above and beyond to make things work. He not only answered my inquiry late at night, he also kept excellent communication and took great care of my dog. I had complete trust and reassurance that my dog was in good hands. Will be a repeat customer.”

“Shamareya kept my fur baby and did a wonderful job keeping me updated with pictures as well as video daily! It kept me at ease since this was my first experience using Rover. I would definitely recommend using Shamareya to keep my fur baby again and appreciate how accommodating she was. Thanks for your assistance while I was away.”

“Besima was very accommodating from the start. Due to a scheduling mess up on my part Besima wasn't home to receive my babies when i arrived at her home So i began panicking because i had a flight later that morning making it impossible for me to drop them back off at the time the scheduled drop off was. After contacting Besima explaining my mistake she agreed to pick them up for from my house total lifesaver for sure. Throughout the stay she shared pics of my babies keeping me updated on how they were doing. I felt good about the care they were receiving while i was away. When i arrived to pick them up she had them packed up and ready to go… My babies seemed happy and I would highly recommend Besima and use her again for sure. Thank you…”


“We were so pleased with the love and care Marisa and her family showed to our dog, Marley. We knew right away after having a meet and greet that we found the perfect person to entrust our beloved pet. Marisa sent daily updates with numerous photos of Marley enjoying his stay. Marisa is a lovely person who allowed us to travel with complete confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”


“Beautiful people! Beautiful family! I’m so glad I chose them to take care of my 7yo fur baby, Zeus. They took such a good care of him, they even cooked for him! I could see from the constant pics and videos that he was having a blast, the whole time! I loved the fact that it’s not a place that takes many dogs in,each time- but only one. Zeus was treated like part of their family! Zeus can be shy and barking in the beginning to people he has never met before. He is a big bear German Shepherd Yellow lab mix and he only lets a few people in his circle; so when I say he was happy, he truly was! I’m so glad to have found this family to take care of him while we have to travel for work! Next time I’ll definitely bring them a tray of baklava or something because I just can’t thank them enough! Btw: we used to live in NY, when we had to fly places for work and he would go to boarding he would always smell like dirt and pee after because when people take many dogs at the time they just see it as a business and they just don’t care much. Zeus came to us smelling like his conditioner and he wasn’t muddy at all! Their house is impeccable. Zeus loved his daily walks and playing in their nice and big fenced yard. Annet and her family really took great care of him. If you love your pet you should only try to board with this family.”

“This was my first experience using boarding for my pets. And i was very happy to have found tran and tien who agreed to look after my two fur babies. They took wonderful care of them gave them meds they were on. Communication was also outstanding. Will definitely be planning to use them again.”

“She took such great care of my pup, making sure he felt comfortable and right at home even while away from me. He came back completely exhausted in the best way possible from all the fun he had, and now he’s getting some well-deserved rest. I was also so grateful for the photo updates she sent along the way to keep my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I need a sitter”

“Juan and Stephanie are great sitters! They kept us updated with photos of our dog throughout his stay and made sure he was fully accommodated. Will definitely book again!”

“Yanaig provided such love & care for our 12 yr old mixed Lab! Thunderstorms rolled through that Saturday night and she kept Bunny on her pillow bed within arm’s reach so to sooth & comfort her shaking body during the loud thunder claps! She sent lots of pictures & videos of Bunny which let us know how comfortable & cared for our Bunny was!”

Barker dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Ollie’s needs. She followed all of the instructions I provided, kept me updated throughout his stay, and was very accommodating with both pickup and drop-off times. It was clear that Ollie was well cared for and had a great time playing with his friend. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated her communication, flexibility, and genuine love for dogs. I would absolutely trust her with Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

I’d be happy to recommend Alex to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my fur babies and consistently kept us updated on how they were doing. We received regular photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Alex was also incredibly flexible with our schedule. She accommodated an early drop-off and was very understanding when our return flights were delayed, allowing us to pick up our pets at our convenience. She was easy to communicate with and truly showed a genuine interest in providing the best possible care for our pets. I would absolutely book with Alex again and highly recommend her to others!

Stephanie is so sweet and communicative and sends photos regularly. She’s also super flexible which helps me as I often need to extend travel plans last-minute, and she always accommodates! Teddy gets excited to see her at drop-off, so that really makes me feel like she’s a great caregiver :-). Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with this sitter. They watched my dog for a week and were communicative throughout the entire stay, providing updates and making me feel comfortable while I was away. My dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly received plenty of attention. I appreciated their reliability and responsiveness, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!

Mark & Claudia are great as always! I don’t trust my Zeus with too many people, but with them I know he’s in good hands and I don’t have to worry about him at all. He loves being with them and gets so excited to run and play in the big backyard. They’re always in constant communication with pictures and videos, I don’t even have to ask. Thank you again for loving Zeus!

Sonia is an excellent Rover!! I am so glad we found her. She sent so many great pictures and took excellent care of our dog. He required medicine at specific times and she was on top of it - I never had to ask if she gave it, she always sent a text to let me know which gave me great peace of mind. She was really considerate of his age and capabilities, and was such an awesome communicator. We will absolutely be booking again! Highly, highly recommend!!

Absolute blessing to have been lead to connect with Christine and her family. My precious Annabelle enjoyed her meet & greet time; I felt peace the moment we drove into the neighborhood. Snowey and Annabelle got along very well, it was if they had met before therefore I knew that her overnight stay would be great. I was able to enjoy my family time knowing that Annabelle was safe and going to be loved as if she was part of the family. (Well she is now)🤭💞🐕. At drop off we were greeted by Snowey in the window awaiting the arrival of her new friend. The pictures that were shared with me during the visit sparked the joy in my heart. Thank you and your family for hosting my girl; truly I appreciate your warm embrace and welcoming presence. Look forward to some play dates and also scheduled stays in the future. Blessings P Washington 🐾
