6. Gigi & Majid M.

“It was great knowing Eliot was in great care while I was traveling. Gigi and Majid provided me with regular updates and photos which gave me a peace of mind. Would definitely rebook!”




7. Vicki D.


“So happy that we found Vicki on Rover! Vicki and Paul are such kind people. They were instantly attentive to our Cali. We brought her for a couple of shorter stays prior to the longer stay to warm her up to the whole idea. To meet the resident dogs and help build her confidence in the whole process since she had not been left with anyone other than a family member before. Cali has issues with separation anxiety and takes time to gain trust. She was in love with Vicki and Paul pretty quickly. Cali took to Vicki and Paul’s dogs quickly as well. Having the other dogs around kept Cali busy and less focused on us not being around. She had instant playmates! She was obviously well cared for and happy when we came to pick her up. We will not hesitate for a second to call Vicki again for future needs. Thank you Vicki & Paul!!!! 😊”


8. Jackie L.

“I’m a first time user of the app and having some stranger care for my babies was nerve wrecking not to mention that one of my dogs was having skin allergies. I’m extremely thankful for finding Jackie while visiting Arizona for a conference. Jackie eased my worries and my two dogs felt at home with her and her sweet dog Bella. Jackie provided me daily updates with photos and texts which eased my anxieties. She also provided my dog with her medication and supplements to her food. They stayed with her for four days and when I picked them up, I felt a little jealous because they didn’t seem to want to leave. I look forward for coming back and leaving my babies under her care again. Thank you...thank yo,! thank you, Give Jackie a shot you won’t regret it, unless your dog decides not to leave. Jackie as her new owner??????”

“Nikkie is so sweet and great with my little fur baby. She asked if id like to receive a photo updates and that was reassuring for me. This was my first experience with her and Rover, she is absolutely amazing. We will be booking with her again in the near future. Thank you for loving my pup like he was your own.”




10. Melissa M.

“Melissa and her family were great! We scheduled a meet and greet before our dog's stay so he could check out their home. During his stay she kept in contact via text with updates and pics regularly. He really enjoyed his time staying with them and was well taken care of!”




11. Darlene B.


“My dog had a great time staying with Darlene. I am always very nervous leaving my dog with someone else but not this time. I could tell she was happy and got along great with Darlene's dog. Highly recommended. ”


12. Jessica G.

“Milo had another great vacation with Jessica. He ended up sick for a bit during his stay and she notified us immediately and took great care of him, documenting what occurred in the event he need vet care. Luckily, he bounced back quickly. We will most definitely recommend Jessica and will use her services in the future.”


13. Mike C.


“We had a great experience with Mike taking care of our dog. We were gone for over a week and Mike kept Coco entertained with lots of walks, puzzles, games and socializing. He sent us updates and pictures every day and I could tell she was having a good time. She is kind of a shy dog, so I was worried about leaving her, but we were very happy with the attention Mike gave her. We will definitely try to book with Mike again next time we need a dog sitter.”


14. Jessica M.

17. Nicole T.

“Nicole took great care of my pup Louie. She kept in contact with me with texts and pictures which was really nice. She even hand fed my pup when he decided not to eat while I was away. She was so caring and Louie seemed very happy when I picked him up. I will definitely use her in the future.”


18. Jeanne M.
“Abby enjoyed another stay at Jeanne’s. This is the second time she has watched Abby and it went well again. Very comforting to have her watch my dog, great family.”
