“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.”
“We really liked having Gabby take care of our babies. Ginger and Cleo were happy and well when we picked them up. Gabby sent us many pictures each day of them playing and we could see they were enjoying their stay. I know our next trip we will want to have her take care of them. Thanks Gabby for your care of them. It made it so much less stressful knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Gabriela for your pet needs!”
“What a wonderful experience with America! She was so flexible with us and our pups, Monty and Rut, had an absolutely phenomenal stay! America treated our pups like her own family - she also provided us with frequent updates, videos and pictures which we were so grateful for! We and our pups are so excited for their next stay with America! :)”
“Daniela is great! For our dog, it was the first time in boarding, but Daniela was really great with her. She also kept us updated throughout the day with photos and even videos. Our dog had a wonderful day at Daniela's house. We will definitely use Daniela again. If you are looking for a dog sitter who is incredibly friendly and caring towards dogs, go for Daniela!”
“Sylvia was great with our recently rescued dog. She updated us daily and was very understanding of our early pick up time. We would definitely board our dog with Sylvia again.”
“Lucy was AMAZING, I initially chose Lucy because she was a bulldog owner and there are certain things that are importantnwhen caring for a bulldog. Lucy's caring for Camo went above and beyond the care of my bulldog, it showed me her overwhelming love for dogs in general. We had to find someone pretty quick due to my reluctance to actually put him up while we went on a 4 day trip...after a couple of days searching I came across Lucys profile. I reached out very late that night and received a reply very early the next and had a meet and greet that evening. Very quick process and knew after the meet and greet I had found the sitter I was looking for. I was not feeling great about how my boy reacted during the meet and greet that Lucy would be ok with him. But, she was amazing about it and just knew what to expect with a bulldog. Cant thank her enough and no longer have a concern about what to do with our Camo if we need to have someone watch him. Thank you Lucy for the daily updates and pictures and overall caring for our boy! We will definitely be in touch again!”
“Stephanie was a great host for Bucky. Very flexible with pick up and drop off. Great communication and sent plenty of pics of Bucky on his stay. Would rebook and recommend to others”
“Vicki took such great care of Bogey while I was away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking Vicki again! Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“One of the best on Rover! J Terrell goes above & beyond, always keeping you updated on what your dog is doing. He truly has a big heart for what he does.”
“She kept my Cockapoo twice and did a great job. She sent me pics throughout stay, which I was very grateful for. He is happy in her care, and joys having Socialization time with another doggy! I will absolutely use her services again.”
“The Best experience from the beginning to the end. From our initial conversation, I felt such a good vibe and The meet and greet, Bella felt so at home. You could tell They love animals and Bella will be a regular at their home. Thanks again for sending pictures and making Bella and I feel so comfortable. See you guys soon”
“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.”
“Ana was so wonderful when she watched our babies over Christmas break! She sent photos daily with updates and even gave them both little Christmas presents! We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town ? 10/10 would recommend.”
“Annet was so great during this experience. We were having a complicated situation but they help us to solve it. Boby is a nervous boy but he clam down quick after and get close with Annet really quick. Everything is good and we are so happy we chose to stay with them.”

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.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Beatriz. Her communication was excellent, she was very professional, and she took amazing care of my dog, Chanel. She sent plenty of pictures, and it was clear Chanel was having the time of her life. Chanel was even sad to leave! I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“My fur baby had the best time with Yanaig and her fur babies! Yanaig sent me pictures and videos everyday to help ease my mind about leaving her with new people. She really seems to love dogs and was very friendly. She was also understanding of my fur baby's need for personal space until she became comfortable. That really meant alot to me that she was able to understand and then make sure my baby got her personal comfort space. I will definately recommend Yanaig to anyone who needs to find babysitting for their beloved fur baby.”
Barker dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sylvia and her family took care of my two dogs whilst I was away and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they received whilst staying with her. I received multiple updates and plenty of photos to reassure me they were both doing well. Sylvia went over and above to ensure their routine was stuck to and nothing was too much trouble. I will not hesitate to use Sylvia again for my next trip.
Tran and TN were absolutely wonderful with Harley! Harley is a very high-energy, clingy dog who requires a lot of attention, and they took such great care of her during her stay. She’s still adjusting and learning since she’s relatively new to our home, but they were patient, understanding, and willing to take her in. Before the stay, we brought Harley over to meet their dog, and they got along great right away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Throughout the experience, Tran and TN were incredibly kind and welcoming. They also kept us updated throughout Harley’s stay with messages and photos, which made us feel so much more comfortable while we were away. When we picked Harley up after our trip, she was completely worn out from all the fun and activity she had, which is saying a lot for a dog with her energy level! It was clear she had a great time and received plenty of attention and care. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave her and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, communicative, and loving sitters.
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!!
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…
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 🐾
