“This was my first-time using Rover and I am so incredibly pleased with the service and quality of care Jacky & Rocio provided Ori. They are thoughtful, professional and flexible. It was an overnight stay and it exceeded my expectations. Ori is a puppy and can be nervous in new environments. Jacky & Rocio were able to get her settled in quickly and sent updates with lovely photos throughout the day and evening to keep me updated. I felt reassured that Ori was in great care. They treated her like she was their own dog. What more can a pet owner ask for. And their sweet Abby got along so well with Ori. I will definitely be using Jacky & Rocio again. Thank you!”

“Ethan and family took great care of our Sky. They shared lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay. You can tell they care a lot and are also very thoughtful with their updates. 100% recommend and would definitely use again. Thank you Ethan!”

“Chong and Bo are the best! They treat Maple as if he were their own, giving him snacks, playing with him, and taking him on long walks. The best part is they provide lots of updates every day with great videos and photos.”


“Sharon took excellent care of our golden retriever. She stayed connected with us by sending regular updates. Our dog enjoyed many walks and play time with Summer - he came home happy and exhausted!”

“Stella took great care of our dog while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and pictures, so we could see how he was doing, and the extra effort she gave to make sure he was eating. Thank you Stella!”

“It was such a pleasure meeting Amy and her family! They graciously hosted my two young Field Goldens for the weekend and I know they were treated as their own. I received regular updates and my “redheads” came home so happy that it was obvious they loved their stay. Thank you to Amy and family for the quality and loving care. I will be looking for a reason to rebook soon!”

“What a wonderful find ! I was so impressed with Natalie . Such a loving and beautifully thought out space for the kitties . 100% recommend . I will be back ! Thanks for everything”

“Bonnie took great care of Bella! She provided lots of updates and photos/videos that helped us feel very comfortable with everything. We would absolutely love for Bella to stay with Bonnie again!”

“Cari is an amazing sitter! She sent great updates, followed my puppies routine/training really well, and most importantly loved him like he was her own! She and her husband were so nice and I’d 100% trust them to watch my puppy again!”

“Noel & Katy are great dog sitters. This was our first time boarding with them for the weekend and everything went smoothly and they seemed to have a great time with my dog Bailey. They sent pictures and it helps they are located very close to me. Highly recommend and will be boarding with them again.”

“Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!”

“Pei and her family took such great care of Enzo! She sent me photos every day, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well looked after. Enzo had so much fun playing with her kids, and by the time he came home he was totally tired out - he must have had a blast time. I really appreciate how thoughtful and caring she was with him. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Lise is amazing. She was able to accommodate us on short notice which we greatly appreciated. Sent messages, pics, and updates every day! Lise clearly loves dogs and knows what she is doing. A real blessing to not worry about Mylee so we could enjoy our trip! A lovely experience start to finish. ❤️”

“So this was my first time using Rover and am I glad that I found Julietta on here to take care of my 2 dogs. Not only is Julietta a thorough professional, but she goes out of her way to make sure that your dogs are comfortable. She was very caring and loving towards my dogs. She took amazing care of them. I initially booked for 3 days of boarding but because of a travel issue, we had to leave the dogs with her for 2 more days. She was so accommodating..Even though it was such a stressful situation, she reached out and told me not to worry at all and she would be happy to take care of the dogs for the 2 additional days. She bought them toys. You can tell that she actually loves dogs. My older dog typically has separation anxiety but I could tell that he was very happy when I went to pick him up. He wasn't stressed out as he usually is if I ever have to drop him off at a kennel. I will certainly be going back to Julietta if I ever have to drop off my dogs for a few days.. I highly recommend her. She is an amazing person.”
“This was our first full experience having Diana watch our dog Blue and she was wonderful! Blue felt comfortable within a short time after arriving! Updates regularly and I believe genuinely loves dogs! Will use her again 💯”

This was our first time using Rover and had a great experience! Regan our senior dog had a meet and greet with Lisa and her family and we felt she was very comfortable so we decided to use her services for 5 days Lisa updated us with how Regan was doing and sent pictures which helped us tremendously! We picked up a happy and relaxed dog at the end of her stay ! We will definitely use Lisa again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Floppy! She was incredibly caring, gentle, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Floppy’s comfort and happiness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. Floppy was very happy, relaxed, and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. We are truly grateful for the love and care she gave Floppy and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little Floppy! ❤️
Thank you Raquel, Greg and Gregory, Juno had a great stay with your family this weekend. All the updates, pictures and videos you shared with us put our minds at ease. We could tell that Juno was well looked after and was having a great time. A big hug to Mina who was so kind towards Juno. We highly recommend Raquel, Greg and Gregory and will definitely leave Juno with them again.
Melissa was absolutely amazing! ❤️ As it was Nala’s first night away from us, we were naturally a little nervous, but Melissa made us feel so comfortable and reassured from the very beginning. She kept us updated throughout, which meant so much to us, and it was clear that Nala was in the best hands. She cared for Nala as if she were her own, with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby. Thank you, Melissa, for taking such wonderful care of our girl! 🐾❤️

I’m incredibly grateful to have discovered Ethan. He provided exceptional care for our little Milo, ensuring that he was always comfortable and happy. Ethan’s kindness and attentiveness were truly remarkable, making a significant difference in Milo’s experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Ethan to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate care for their pets. Without a doubt, I would send Milo back to him in the future. :)

Bonnie was amazing with Lily our two year old standard poodle. She took care of her for two weeks. This was the first time we’ve left our pet with a non-family member. Bonnie went above and beyond and looked after Lily as if she was her own. Bonnie’s constant communication assured us Lily was happy and doing well. We’ve already booked Bonnie for next year.

Sam, our very shy cocker spaniel, had his first daycare with Geoffrey and Louise yesterday and would seem to have had a great time. After a very comprehensive initial meeting where they both put us at ease we decided to take the plunge and place Sam in their care. This is not a decision we take lightly as he is so precious to us and we have high expectations- both Geoffrey and Louise met those. They provided me (a natural born worrier) with updates and photos throughout the day and Sam looked happy on them, which made me happy too. He is now booked to go for more days and hopefully will form a lovely bond with them.

Jacky and Rocio (and Abby) were great with my dog Muffy. I was gone for almost 2 weeks to Europe and my dog had never stayed with a dogsitter before, so I was a bit nervous. Jacky and Rocio did a great job sending me updates and photos. Unfortunately Muffy had some diarrhea while I was gone, and they kept in close communication with me to let me know how she was doing. They even reached out to my vet for advice to make sure Muffy was OK. I would definitely use them again to dogsit in the future!

This was our first time leaving our 2 year old Morkie, Gigi with a dog sitter through Rover. Portia was the perfect choice, as she is very patient and caring which made our dog instantly feel very comfortable when we left her for an overnight stay. Portia’s home is very clean and she kept us updated through text and pictures on how your fur baby is doing. Portia has a very friendly dog, Simba who was very gentle with Gigi and they enjoyed their walks outdoors. Thanks Portia for taking such good care of Gigi.

We are very grateful to Ariana for taking care of our 5 year old golden doodle. He has never been away from home and he was staying for 8 days with Ariana. But he was very active and happy, and was well taken care of. He sure enjoyed the hikes and long walks with her.
