“Highly, highly recommend Dayquan! He watched my dog Rexie for a week, sent photos and updates everyday, and took great care of him! I love that he not only took him on his daily walks but also fun outings around the city. I would absolutely trust Dayquan to watch Rexie again.”


“Nathaniel was awesome and my dog was so happy with him. He took my dog hiking, swimming and outdoor events. Thanks for being so affordable yet a high quality dog sitter 🙏. He also sent us many pics and updates.”



“I set up the reservation last minute for a long weekend and Jim responded immediately and was great! Penny had a great time and I enjoyed the regular updates, photos and videos of her stay. Will definitely rebook with Jim my next trip out of town.”


“Bianca and her husband were incredible and Obi seemed to have an absolutely wonderful stay! They kept me updated on him everyday and gave him plenty of love and attention! Would definitely recommend!”


“Michelle took great care of Stella and sent us lots of pictures and updates. It's easy to see how affectionate and caring she is with dogs. Also, when out return flight was delayed, she was flexible about adjusting our pick-up time.”


“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”


“Jennifer was super responsive and communicative. I was up to date on what Teddy was up to! He also seemed very happy when I picked him up so he must have had a good time !”


“Anastasia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Bella. She asked the right questions, communicated effectively and we could tell Bella had a great time :) Thank you again!”


“Maggie had the best time staying with Krystal and William! This was my first time using Rover, and Krystal and William made it the absolute best experience - from the initial meet and greet to being updated multiple times a day with photos and videos of Maggie. I could not more highly recommend Krystal and William, they really gave me the peace of mind that Maggie was in safe and caring hands while I was away. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”


“"I cannot recommend Patrick enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we confirmed our reservation with him, I knew we were in good hands. As a first-time user of Rover, I had my fair share of concerns, but Patrick quickly alleviated them with his professionalism and attentiveness. While my son was primarily looking after our dog during our vacation, he had to leave for a work trip before our return. Patrick's location was a blessing in disguise, as it was incredibly convenient for my son to drop off our beloved nine-year-old Portuguese water dog, Kismet, on his way to the airport. Upon our arrival back home, we were able to pick up Kismet directly on our route home with the help of an Uber, thanks to Patrick's thoughtful planning. Throughout the entire process, Patrick was accommodating, reassuring, and truly went above and beyond to ensure Kismet's well-being and our peace of mind. It was evident that Kismet was well cared for and content in Patrick's care. Without a doubt, I will not hesitate to entrust Patrick with Kismet's care again in the future. His dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make him a standout dog sitter, and I am grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring individual to look after our furry family member. Thank you, Patric, for your exceptional service and for providing us with peace of mind during our time away."”


“Jo & Adam did a fantastic job watching my dog, Lulu! She seemed very comfortable from the very start, and they sent several pic updates, which is always appreciated!”



“Best ever!!!!! We just came back from our first trip away from Stella. It was traumatic for us and we were worried before we left. But Lyn made everything ok! We got regular picture and videos. Lyn loved Stella and took care of her like she was her own puppy. Not only that. The day before we left, we had a trip to the animal ER, so Lyn got a dog with bandaged paws. Lyn was gentle and kind and in spite of the surprise, was ready to care for Stella. We came home to a happy and healthy puppy! I can’t say enough about how grateful we are.”


“Nalix is probably the most experienced sitter that Elly has ever stayed with. She knew exactly how to handle Elly as she got adjusted to the apartment and when she showed some exhibits of resource guarding. Her apartment has a nice fenced in area outside for easy access to fetch at any point in the day. I would 100% ask Nalix to watch Elly again.”


“I can't thank Miranda enough. Snoopy loves going to her house and even followed her without hesitation. He's back home now, well-hydrated, relaxed, and happy. His pee and poop look normal too, which is very important to me because he has a sensitive stomach. Thank you!”


“Erica is an incredible sitter—a rare combination of caring, diligent, and detail-oriented. She created such a wonderful environment for our dog, Gus. She was meticulous about his needs, schedule, and preferences, and even made sure she understood the type of environment he feels most comfortable in. Her communication was amazing—we received several updates a day and always felt in the loop about how Gus was doing. We were completely relaxed while traveling, knowing he was in her care. When we picked Gus up, it was clear he had been well cared for and had gotten very comfortable with Erica and her home. We can’t wait to book with her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a truly thoughtful and reliable sitter!”

“Phi did such an amazing Job taking care of Izzy. He sent constant photo updates of her and asked several questions about her care. She got tons of sunshine and walks- and came back a happy pup! His wife even made her a homemade bandana! We will be using his services again the next time we use Rover.”
