“Thank you Jessica and family for taking such good care of Ursa!! I really appreciated the good communication and daily pictures. And thank you for going above and beyond giving our picky eater doodle some extra chicken and rice :). She will be back!”
“I needed a place for our little dog to stay for the long weekend. And I wanted to make sure all his training rules stayed in place. We are training him from a rehoming situation so it is an important transition period. Margarita and Ramon have a lot of experience with boarding and fostering. I did not have to go into long explanations about what was needed. They understood exactly what our plan was and kept up the plan all weekend without issues. I received daily video updates. When I picked up our little buddy he was relaxed and happy. He was comfortable with Margarita so I know he has been at ease in the house. Margarita had another small dog boarding on tge weekend which was an appropriate match for walks. They also have a low key larger dog whom I felt was calming for the house atmosphere. Overall I feel confident to return my dog for another stay without any concerns.”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!”
“Lisa was great! Ellie stayed with her for two nights and is now home and sleepy from playing so much with Lisa’s dogs. She sent pictures and kept us updated. And her home was super dog-friendly. Thanks so much, Lisa!”
“Paul was phenomenal! I received daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Ru was put on a supplements after our meet and greet Paul was great about it, he was able to get her to take them even though she hates to. We will definitely be using Paul again in the future.”
“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”
“Isbath was wonderful with Herbie. She was attentive, communicative, and sent daily photos, which we really appreciated. Herbie came home happy and settled right back into his routine, which says everything. We would absolutely book with Isbath again.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent experience! Lupe was fantastic with our dog! He was very communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates with pictures and videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear he’s experienced and genuinely caring — our dog was relaxed and happy when we got back. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely book with him again! Highly recommend it!”
“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”
“Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.”
“This is the first time I have left my dog with Rachel and she took such great care of it. Next time I need a dog sitter I will definitely leave my dog with Rachel. Thanks Rachel.”
“I would give Tiara five stars without hesitation. Over the years I’ve used many Rover sitters for Ajax, and Tiara is the first one I’ve recommended to friends and the first sitter I’ve felt compelled to review. She really is that good. Because of her veterinary background, she noticed a few things that were bothering Ajax and took care of them right away. That level of knowledge and attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind. She sent daily messages and videos and asked thoughtful questions about Ajax’s likes, dislikes, and routines so she could care for her in the best possible way. When I picked Ajax up, Tiara even had a thank-you bag waiting for us that included paw artwork by Ajax, several toys, treats, and adorable photo stickers. It was such a thoughtful touch. When I travel—especially for longer trips like this one (almost two weeks)—I’m usually worried about Ajax. With Tiara, I felt confident from the start that Ajax was in excellent hands. I highly recommend her.”

As always, Linda and Doug have taken excellent care of Shadow. He loves going on walks and playing with the other dogs. While he doesn’t always eat his usual amount of food when he is away from home, they accommodate him and his quirky behavior when eating. Thanks!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenny! She is incredibly nurturing, kind, and genuinely sweet. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. She treated him like her own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. What truly meant the most was her kindness and flexibility when my daughter had unexpected car trouble and couldn’t pick him up. Without hesitation, she went above and beyond and personally drove my dog back to my house. That level of thoughtfulness and compassion is rare. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable to care for your pet, I highly recommend her. Your fur baby will be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention!

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
