“Bella is a repeat guest with Crystal, mostly because I know she lives as good or better than at home! The whole family loves on her and make sure she is well taken care of. Will definitely continue to book! KC”
“Karen is very kind. I feel very comfortable leaving my small dog with her. I would definitely use her again. Kallie is a lap dog and I have not left her in over a year and a half because of Covid. Karen let Kallie sit in her lap and gave her the love and attention that she craves.”
“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly. Her animals are so sweet and so is Julie! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you to you and your family for taking such incredible care of our girl!!”
“Rajesh was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment I left my pup, I knew he was in great hands. He treated him like family and went above and beyond by sending daily updates with photos and videos. It meant so much to see how happy and well cared for my dog was. I would 100% book with him again!”
“Kara took care of my cats for several stays and she definitely treated them like they were her own pets. She is very kind and both of my cats loved her (they are very shy cats too). I highly recommend leaving your pet with Kara if you want peace of mind that they are well taken care of!”
“Sam and Rachel were wonderful! We appreciated the updates & photos and it was clear that our Lucy loved being with them for the weekend. Drop off and pickup were super quick and easy, we will definitely look forward to Lucy staying with their family again soon!”
“We absolutely loved having our Tucker stay with Marietta and Nanette! From our first meet-and-greet with Nanette and Erin Rose (their sweet beagle) to our pick up after our trip everything was wonderful! They are so calm and friendly and Tucker enjoyed playing with the other 2 dogs that came to stay as well. Nanette sent us photos and an update everyday, which I loved receiving! I will be booking another stay with them later this summer!”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Onyx had a great stay with Holli and Susan. They were very responsive throughout his entire stay and it seemed like Onyx had a good time. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Aricel was absolutely amazing! She loved our Cooper like family! She sent us pictures daily of their activities. Aricel even taught our fur baby a new trick during his week stay! Cooper felt right at home with Aricel and we had no worries while on vacation. Would absolutely recommend Aricel to anyone and will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“So happy to have found a place where I feel comfortable leaving Jeffrey while I travel. He had the best time! He will definitely be coming back to stay again!”
“Shalissa and her family were wonderful during Lucy's stay! Lucy was clearly was enjoying herself 🙂 They have a terrific home, an awesome fenced in back yard, and everyone was so friendly. Shalissa's communication was great and she was very accommodating when we were running a bit late for pickup. We appreciate her a lot and will definitely look forward to Lucy staying with them again in the future!”
“Amy and Caleb T. are a couple of rock stars in the pet care industry. I truly appreciate the clear communication they provided from the beginning. They were able to accommodate my dog and me on short notice. Even on a few days’ notice, we were able to have a quick meet-and-greet, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. I also appreciate the pictures they sent me during my trip, which made me feel at ease knowing that my dog was having a great time with them. I definitely plan to book with them in the future because of their exceptional service. From any concerns they may have had to the fun-loving pictures they sent me, everything was great. Thank you all so much for taking care of my boy.”

Carmel dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie was fantastic with my two, rather large pitties. Being a first time Rover user and really a first time pet sitter user in general, I was very apprehensive to what felt like giving up my dogs to a stranger. But any apprehension I had quickly went away with Stephanie. She gave constant updates and sent pictures on a daily basis of my pups playing in her beautiful fenced in backyard. She clearly has a love for dogs and maybe a soft spot for pitties. I would recommend her to anyone.
Karen was most attentive and a perfect match for my 15 year old Havanese, Juliet. Karen understood the cadence of Juliet and let my little pal find her own spot in Karen's care. The surroundings, yard and atmosphere was welcoming and soothing for the my tiny visitor. Thank you Karen for understanding the happy place for Juliet and tolerating her desire to alert you of outside squirrels and pedestrians on the sidewalk!
Briana was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in great communication the entire time I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved all the pictures and videos she sent of my fur baby, it really made being away a lot easier. You can tell she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. I would absolutely book with her again!
Archie adores this family. They take such great care of him that he thinks of them as part of his extended family. This is what you want in a sitter. A place where your dog can go and feel like he is on a vacation. They are great at sending photos, communicating, and our dog always looks very happy to be there.
