“Gene was a fantastic sitter. She accommodated us by meeting us several times leading up to our stay. While Azula was with her, she kept us in the loop with pictures and excellent communication. I would recommend Gene to anyone.”

“Onrae was amazing! He met with us two consecutive days prior to the stay for a meet and greet to calm our fears of a first stay but a long stay for our sweet boy. He responded during the long stay with pictures and videos to let us know how our dog was doing. He was timely and very responsive and accommodating. Will certainly use him again!”

“Doug was a wonderful dog sitter! I have high energy dogs and he took them on walks and hikes. He also updated me with pictures. They were really worn out when I got back into town which made settling back in easier. I can tell they got a lot of attention. I highly recommend Doug's services!”

“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”

“Savannah did an amazing job with Millie! Millie’s a bit shy and Savannah made her feel welcome and Millie definitely enjoyed her stay with her! Savannah would respond quickly and provide cute update pictures throughout the trip. Would definitely be booking with her again and recommend her to everyone!”

“Jamie and Patrick were great with Ruth and Thurgood! They came back tired and happy from their vacation, it was wonderful. I’d recommend highly!”

“CK is awesome. She was so great with Bert! He had a great time hanging out with her and Coco. She is so accommodating and loving. We are looking forward to having her take care of Bert again soon. Highly recommended.”

“Rosalia was amazing! She kept me updated all day with messages & tons of cute pictures. My dog looked happy and loved all the cuddles given to her. Her dog Kiki was such a good girl too, she didn't mind sharing the attention. If I lived in Albuquerque, I'd totally book Rosalia everytime!”

“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”

“She treats my dog as if it were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love.”

“She did such a good job with my Goldendoodles! I booked last minute and she was so accommodating. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and even bathed my dogs for me!”

“Aurelie did a wonderful job with our 4.5 month old puppy, Copper! I was nervous about boarding him for the first time because I didn’t want him to be stressed or have a bad experience, but he came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Aurelie sent daily photo updates, which we really appreciated 😊. Copper also loved playing with her dogs during his stay. We’d definitely book with her again!”

“Liz was so great caring for our dog for 4 days! She was responsive, sent me lots of pictures and details about his day and genuinely seemed to care and love him. I will definitely use her again if we need a pet sitter”

“Holly & Robert are wonderful! They did a great job watching our English bulldog while we were out of the country for over a week. They provided frequent updates and took care of her daily meds. We felt very at ease leaving our bulldog with them. Will definitely book again!”

“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”

“So happy we chose Rebecca and her family to care for Louie! She provided the best care for him, sent us pictures and updates daily, and he came home exhausted so I know he had a great time! Can’t thank her enough because Louie is a high energy guy. Rebecca will be our first choice next time we need care for sure!”

“She loved my dog like he was family. I was hospitalized for 44 days and she sent updates with texts and pictures. I was even able to set up zoom meeting to see my dog at one point in my recovery. Alexandria is so kind and even let me hug her and thank her for being like family to myself and my dog when I picked him up on day 44. I could go on all day about how wonderful she, her husband, and her kids were to my dog. I am so happy that I knew he was in good hands while I was away for such a long period of time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alexandria for short or long stays. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Shayna is awesome. She watched my dog for almost a week and sent daily updates and pictures of how she was doing. She took her on walks and also has a beautiful backyard for the doggos to play in. Would recommend.”

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
We traditionally have used canine country club in the past, however we were in a bind because our 7 month old golden retriever is not spayed (vet recommended to wait a year). My sister recommended Rover (new to us). We found Erich and he seemed to be a fit. It was a confirmed win from the introduction! Erich (and Louie) were calm, fun, interesting, engaging and welcoming! Erich has a very special skill training dogs/puppies that provide immediate results. We could tell he cared deeply for his dog Louie and bestowed that love on our puppy as well. Our Golden stayed overnight with them and was happy, healthy, and far better behaved when we picked her up than when she was dropped off. A huge thank you to Erich and Louie for giving Montana your time, skill, love and attention!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Patrick was with my dog Max. Max received tons of attention, exercise and love. I was updated on how Max was doing with pictures and videos from Patrick. I would give more than five stars if I could. He went above and beyond. Very impressed!

Jaiden and her fiancé Matt took super good care of our Aussie and their love of dogs was evident in every communication and meeting. Had some qualms about 4 dogs in a 2 bedroom apartment but my dog had a blast and Jaiden and Matt seem to share their limited space easily. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Chisa is FANTASTIC! She took such gentle care of my elder dog. He normally shows some anxiety when we are away … however with Chisa’s love and attentiveness … he showed little to no signs of anxiety. Chisa sent daily updates of my very happy dog. Thank you Chisa!
