“David is sweet and kind and made us feel at ease for a week with our Mars. He sent photos and give us updates that made us feel that Mars was feeling right at home. Mars can be reactive with strangers so we gave David the whole rundown on his triggers.”
“Renee and Christopher took excellent care of Bear during his recent stay. They were very caring and attentive to our senior dog and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“This was our third time having Pepper stay with Shelley and he had a great time as usual! She provided updates and took great care of our little guy. Pepper was happy and relaxed upon his return.”
“The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.”
“My dog is 12 years old, visually impaired w/severe cataracts, has arthritis in his hind legs so he can’t go up/down stairs and struggles to walk (35lbs which can be a bit heavy for people to carry), and is diabetic, requiring insulin injections 2x daily at 7:30am/pm. I used to board him but (understandably) they weren’t comfortable taking him at the doggy hotel anymore because they couldn’t give him the attention he needs with all the other dogs. So I turned to Rover. When we met Christina, we arrived at her home with my pup’s tush covered in poop cuz he had an accident in the car while sitting. I wouldn’t have been surprised if she turned us away after - not a great first impression! Silly me. She got out some wipes and took the time to carefully and gently clean him. Christina was very thorough in understanding what he needed, asking questions instead of just guessing or assuming. She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and when I picked him back up, most importantly, he was happy and doing great. I missed him a lot when I was away, but I didn’t worry about him, which is incredible. I cannot thank Christina enough for giving me that peace of mind.”
“Alvin and his family were wonderful with Oatley. He was very considerate with her, even sharing his own pup’s food and products. Sterling, his pup, was adorable. Our pups seemed to come out of it as friends. Alvin was very responsive, messaging right away. Shared many cute pictures and updates throughout my Oatley’s stay. My pup definitely was in great hands, which took away both mine and Oatley’s anxieties. Would love for her to stay with them again!”
“Megan was great! We did a meet and greet before booking and I felt Bao was in great hands. She was super communicative about changing circumstances, which definitely made me feel more comfortable. I also loved the pictures she sent of Bao.”
“It was so easy to communicate with Cristina. She read all the instructions and asked clarifying questions when needed. It was clear Cristina and Ernesto cared about our little fur baby. Their house and backyard looked perfect for boarding as well!! We also learned that Cristina is also an accomplished baker/pastry chef when she handed me a delicious cake at the pickup. We look forward to working with Cristina in the near future~♡”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“Sonia was great with keeping us updated everyday and she was so flexible with drop off and pickup. You can tell she loves her jobs and the dogs so much and that means so much to us! We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Cesar was our first sitter using Rover and we could not have been happier with the whole experience. We really appreciated a chance to get to meet him and his pups beforehand while also seeing his living space. We felt our pupper would be be in good hands through the week he stayed with Cesar. During the time away we got plenty of adorable pictures and updates on how he was coping. From our perspective he seemed to be having a great time! Definitely recommend Cesar for your boarding needs”
“Kaya had a great time staying with Vanessa and Kenzo this past weekend! Kaya has stayed with Vanessa several times and always has a great time. Vanessa is responsive, flexible, and friendly. Will continue to book with her every time we travel!”
“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
“Kona is always happy to go to Alex’s, she runs up the stairs to her apartment. Alex is very sweet, fun and flexible. We love having her as our go-to dog sitter:)”
“Molly and Stephen are the best! They sent me plenty of pictures. I was able to travel stress free knowing Duke was being cared for well. They were also super accommodating when my flight was delayed a few hours. Would highly recommend!”
“Gina was great at accommodating a short last minute weekend booking! We did a meet and greet beforehand so my anxious dog could get more comfortable with them. Rosa is reactive towards other dogs and she was great at using treats to distract her. I also received lots of photos throughout the weekend, highly recommend Gina!”
Bernal Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amy was able to help me out very last minute watching both dogs again when another sitter fell through at the last moment. She is always very quick to respond and sends regular updates. The dogs get lots of attention and activity every day. Highly recommend! My dogs love spending time with them.
Nothing but rave reviews for Rachel and Ryan. They took exceptional care of my rescue tripod. Immediately, I could tell that Rachel and Ryan had a genuine love of animals and lots of dog ownership knowledge. Despite having an urgent last-minute flight home, I felt completely reassured boarding my sometimes nervous/anxious dog with them. They shared so many wonderful updates and photos during Joon’s stay. With other Rovers, I’m often staring at my phone anxious for updates but I never worried with Rachel and Ryan. Charlie and Bonnie were wonderful companions for my pup, Joon, who does not have a lot of other doggy friends to play with! Everyone made Joon feel right at home. Cannot recommend boarding with Rachel, Ryan, Bonnie and Charlie enough!
Stephanie and Matthew took great care of Kira, were accommodating in pick up and drop off, and were communicative with updates about her when we were away. They seem to be very responsible pet parents and Kira enjoyed her time with them and Heath. Would love to work with them again!
If you want complete peace of mind, hire Viktoriya. She was phenomenal with Ivy, sending constant updates and taking her on multiple long walks daily. She was so attentive to Ivy’s needs and made sure she was totally comfy on the sofa or bed. Ivy felt such an instant connection with her that when I dropped her off, she didn't even look back at me. The photos showed just how relaxed she was. Thank you, Viktoriya!
Nicole was the perfect sitter for our senior golden retriever! We've used Rover many times, and Nicole stands out as the best. We had complete confidence that our dog was well taken care of and adored while we were away. Nicole went above and beyond to work with us on an unusual dropoff situation we had to coordinate through a friend while we were out of town, and gracefully handled a tense dog interaction at the park that not everyone would manage so well. She was easy to communicate with and very prompt to reply, and kept us up to date with pictures and videos of how our dog was doing. We will happily trust Nicole with our dog again in the future!
Betty looked after our 5 yr old dog Luna while we were gone for a week on an international trip. It was our first time boarding Luna with her so we arranged to meet her beforehand and she very kindly gave us a tour of the areas where Luna would be staying. During the stay, Betty was very communicative, sharing photo updates regularly, and attentive - taking extra time to ensure our shy pup ate well, which was so appreciated! She provided Luna with regular exercise and play time at the park with the other pups, and she offered Luna a separate, quiet space to recharge when needed. All in all we feel very lucky to have found her for the stay and would certainly request her services again. Highly recommend :)
Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!
When Winter got sick during his stay (and we were out of town), we were so grateful how Clarice took care of him, bringing him to the vet and hospital and checking in on him during the whole experience. She was great about communicating with us during the whole experience and she treated our Winter like he was her own dog... we could tell how much she cared.
Anne Marie hosted my dog Ava for just a day/night, but it was long enough to show she's a great host and caretaker. She took Ava out on a bunch of walks and sent some great photos. Ava was clearly having a blast. Anne Marie took care to learn all about Ava's idiosyncrasies. And when Ava was whining at night over not being let into the bedroom, Anne Marie went and slept next to her on the couch. Above and beyond! Thanks Anne Marie! I hope Ava gets to stay over again.
Celina was really amazing through our entire process of reaching out and boarding my 3 year old dog reactive Shepard mix. We went with a full week and through that Celina was amazing by prioritizing safety and comfort for both my pup and I. Thank you Celina for providing a such a wonderful space and environment with such care, you rock!
