“Susan took such good care of my pet Zoey. When I picked up zoey she was relaxed and well rested, which is exactly what we look for when we leave her. Susan makes sure Zoey eats as she is a picky eater and can go without eating for a day or 2. I feel comfortable leaving Zoey with Susan as I know she is well taken care of when we leave town.”

“Kellie and Brian were wonderful! They took great care of our sweet Tulip and we felt so relaxed on our vacation knowing she was in good hands. They are responsive, reliable, and very trustworthy. We will definitely reach out to them again for pet care in the future. Thank you, Kellie and Brian!”

“My dog,Sallie, had a great time with Shalyn and Scout and the rest of the family. She was well taken care of. My dog can be a bit much so I appreciated her and Scout dealing with her. 😁 She is a great person on Rover to use for boarding.”

“Yisel is wonderful!! Took such great care of Lady!! Really does a great job of making your pet feel at home! Highly recommend!! We will definitely call her again! She is very kind and super responsive! Great experience for our family! ???”

“Alyssa and her husband did an awesome job with Marlowe! They truly listened to my instructions and made Marlowe feel comfortable! They took photos and kept me updated and showed just how my pup son was a happy camper!”

“Yevheniia did a great job watching our dog Foquito. She was very responsive and accommodating. Her communication was great and we appreciated the photos she sent of Foquito during his stay with her. We could tell he was having fun. She was also very attentive when he got a small cut on his paw, and we appreciate that she took time to clean it and put antiseptic. We plan to book with her again!”


“Jeff and Lilia watched our two young Australian shepherd for 4 days and they took excellent care of our pups. We received updates often with pictures that showed our dogs having a fantastic time. We normally board our dogs at a nearby daycare but I wanted a more personal touch this time and I’m happy I did; I would definitely choose Jeff and Lilia to watch my dogs again.”


“We had a great experience with Vassa! She made sure to play with our dog every day, which we really appreciated. We also loved receiving lots of pictures and updates of Raya, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her dog, Chase, got along really well with Raya, and it was clear they had a great time together. Raya came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would definitely book with Vassa again!”

“Lauren and her family took such great care of our Reggie that he actually didn’t want to leave her front porch when I picked him up. Lauren is so kind and gentle with him…Reggie and I couldn’t be happier.”

“Lindsay was great! She was very thoughtful and sent us pictures of our golden retriever. She sent us daily updates. We were very lucky to find Lindsay to take care of our dog. I will highly recommend her pet sitter services.”

“Dana is the best sitter we have ever had for our pet. She is very attentive and very loving. We have a pet with high anxiety and Dana was very patient with her and quick to understand our pet and make her feel comfortable. Dana is wonderful at keeping us up to date with information and pictures. We highly recommend Dana!!!!”

“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”

“Chewy had a great time with Katherine and her family. I always have a hard time leaving my furball behind but after our meet and great i felt so much better. Chewy always keep following me when i leave but this time he went straight into their home. Tank you so much for taking our booking on such a short notice and making us feel so comfortable during my trip with text and pictures. I will definitely use Katherine again when I leave town.”

“Evgeniia is a fantastic cat boarder!! She cared for my cat, Bella, for eleven long days and kept me posted on how Bella was doing throughout her stay (with videos and pictures). She is very patient, kind, and a loving mother, and her kids are incredibly gentle and kept Bella entertained. She was very quick with her responses. She was kind enough to do an online meet and greet with me before we went ahead with an official booking. What won my heart was when she went out of her way to drop off Bella's favorite pop-pop ball, which I forgot to take back. If you're looking for a cat sitter/boarder, she's the best you can find! I highly recommend her; she's the best! You rock, Evgeniia!”

“Anne and Crag took such good care of Soleil. They have a nice size fenced in yard which Soleil really enjoyed. I got updates and pictures and was not worried about my baby at all. We couldn’t be more thrilled to find such caring sitters. I highly recommend them. Thank you so very much Anne and Craig.”

“Cody is great with my 🐕. My boy has high separation anxiety and I am comfortable leaving him with Cody. He also has an opportunity to get acquainted with other pets (which he needs as a Yorkie with big dog energy). Thanks Cody!”

“Colin was amazing. He took great care of my boy Jack and sent pictures to put me at ease. His dog Sully made a great buddy to keep my boy calm and comfortable.”

“Rosemary is amazing. This is the first time we left our girl with someone other than family. She went above and beyond to send us regular pictures and messages. Our dog had stomach issues and was nursed to good health. We are incredibly grateful and we cannot say enough good things about our experience. I asked Rosemary not to get too busy for us!”


“Christine was great with my 15 year old dog Leo. She is fenced in so he was able to play as long as needed. She also took him on daily walks. I will be using her again very soon. Thanks again”

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maria is absolutely wonderful! She was proactive with sending updates and pictures of Sasha. I truly felt confident that Sasha was in great hands. I highly recommend Maria and will continue to use her services when I need a sitter. You and your fur baby would be lucky to have Maria!

Stephanie is awesome!! She kept me updated while I was away and I could tell my pup was getting plenty of attention and great care. She even took him to the park multiple times which was an amazing bonus. She clearly loves animals and is very knowledgeable about dogs and different breeds. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and knew he was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.

Nathalie was fantastic. Excellent communication, very proactive in making sure she was prepared ahead of time. Very flexible with timing and drop off. The home was clean and she was open to whatever sleeping arrangements our dog preferred. She is very kind and thoughtful. Would fully recommend! Excellent experience!

Christine & AJ were great! They sent frequent updates and photos which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear Watson was treated as part of the family during his stay. We loved that Watson was their only guest since meeting a lot of new dogs at once can be overwhelming for him. They were very accommodating of how we introduced him to their dog Bodie and they did great together!

Not only was Anne able to accommodate my extremely late notice request for boarding, but she took great care of my senior dogs! Her home and fenced yard is also set up very thoughtfully for pet care with lots of space to roam outside or inside. Very quick & efficient communication, picture of my dog while I was away, I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience!

Lindsay is fantastic. She is warm, professional, and a wonderful listener. Communication was smooth, and she kept us up to date on how our dog Billie was doing with texts and photos. I could tell Billie took a liking to her really quickly. I’d definitely book with Lindsay again!

What a wonderful experience Cabot and I had with Dominique and Peter! Every communication was prompt, personal, and included a precious photo. It was easy to see that they were treating Cabot like their own puppy and making sure he was happy. It is a stretch to leave Cabot for such a long time , but Dominique’s style of communication made me know that he was in the right place! Now Cabot will want us to plan another trip so he can return to their house and be treated like the prince that he is! Many,many heartfelt thanks!! ❤️

I’d give ten stars if I could! Allison and her family treated our high-energy lab, Chip, as if he was a member of the family. They provided great care, lots of exercise and activity, and peace of mind for us knowing he was in such great care. Chip came home tired and already looking forward to his next visit!

We had such a wonderful experience with Rollie as our Rover sitter! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent—he kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Milo was having the best time—he looked happy, relaxed, and really enjoyed spending time with the other dogs. You can tell Rollie genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and creates a safe, fun environment for them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Rollie with Milo again in the future. Highly recommend!
