“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”

“Annie & Ty are amazing! Your dog will feel home with them. Their care for our dog was above and beyond. If they’re available, book them, don’t hesitate!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog at Scott & Lori’s house for 4 nights. They have a great backyard that my dog loved sunbathing in. I would definitely book with them again (:”

“Michelle and Steve are awesome, they took amazing care of our Husky puppy while we were away. He had the absolute best time staying with them and Daisy! We’d love it if he can stay again in the future and we’re so grateful for Michelle’s organization and experienced approach - even with large breeds. Thank you!”

“Maya was amazing! She sent pictures, communicated regularly, and calmed all nerves (both mine and my dog’s) for leaving my dog with her for a week. We’ve already rebooked with her!”

“Greg and Kat were so wonderful with my dog Mando! It was my first time using Rover for my dog and I was a bit nervous but they kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures. He always looked well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Diana was absolutely fabulous and wonderful host. Mimi had an amazing time with her and her furry pals. We got regular updates (pictures and videos ) and Diana kept us in loop at all times with her food intake , walks and how things were progressing. I would love to leave Mimi again with her if there any such opportunity, as I know and trust Diana.”

“We were happy with Ron's and his family’s care for our dog, Deedee. We received regular updates, which was helpful during our time away. His kids really liked Deedee and played & walked with her which was really positive experience for us. Overall, Deedee appeared well-looked after.”

“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”

“Sarah has a very calm demeanor and pleasant personality. Our Labrador Mojo loved his stay with her. Sarah ensured his well being and was on top of his schedule. She made sure that he got enough time to play at the park as well. She loves dog sitting and that did show with how lovingly she took care of our dog Mojo. If you are looking for someone who enjoys do sitting and takes care of your dog like her own Sarah is great!”

“Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.”

“Angela looked after our bernedoodle for few weeks with great care! She's intuitive and friendly. She exceeded our expectation! Under her care, our dog's hair got brushed every day, as well as brushing our dog's teeth every few days. Our dog's paws& butt got wiped after each walk and his face wiped after feeding time. Our dog came home with no eye boogers, not matted, our crate and his feeding bowls pretty clean! In fact, our dog's hair smelled like he got a quick wash (usually in other boarding place, he gets dirty real quick from outdoor playtime!) Angela was very good in communication (sending updates/pictures) Thank you Angela(as well as her daughter and her own dog) for being so good to our dog! We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Ting and Bob are the best dog sitters I have ever met in Rover. They love dogs so they took care my poodle just as their own dog. They walked my dog multiple times everyday and played with him at their beautiful backyard. They provided plenty of photos and videos. My dog looked very happy and relax staying with them. I will definitely book dog care with them next time without any hesitation.”

“This was our second time with Deepika and Oreo really had a blast with Biscuit. He is well taken care of . My dog is an anxious one. So at times he skips meals but Deepika took good care of him making his food more appetizing 😊. He is been busy playing around that he is still tired and snoozing as a when he can. Thanks Deepika for taking care of him.”
“Alicia was a great doggie sitter for my little girl, Gia. She welcomed her with open arms. She would send me periodic updates along with pictures which I really appreciated. I would recommend Alicia and will use her again in the future.”

“May and Marc were wonderful! They checked in every day with cute photo updates each morning, sometimes even featuring their adorable dog, Pepper. Communication was always clear and straightforward, and it was obvious our pup was well cared for. We really appreciated how easy they made everything and would happily book with them again!”

“Our two dogs stayed for the first time with Annette for 6 full days. We're a bit nervous about finding a dog sitter because one of our dogs is 16 year old. Annette was incredibly welcoming and warmhearted during our meet and greet and all our fears dissolved on the spot. We could tell that she genuinely loves and cares about animals! Our dogs felt immediately at home in Annette's comfortable house with a fully fenced, beautiful yard. She treated our dogs with such care, took them every day on three leash walks in her neighborhood and on top of that she took our younger dog on a daily 3-4 mile hike! We loved Annette's daily videos of our furry babies! We highly recommend her as a dog sitter. She's the best!”

Carmel Mountain dog parents share their Rover experiences
Wonderful experience with our 1 year old pup and an overnight stay! The communication was wonderful and we received many pictures throughout the day. We loved the fact that he went on so many walks, as an energetic dog, he definitely needs it! Also, our dog has some separation anxiety and what gave us peace of mind was that they were home the whole time with him. Our dog had the best time we will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our dog over the weekends!

Gelare is a wonderful sitter! She helped our dog who has separation anxiety ease into her home with her gentle and kind presence and made sure she wasn’t left alone throughout her stay. Winnie very quickly became her shadow. Gelare even prepared some scrambled egg to encourage our dog to eat better while we were away. We will definitely book again!

We asked Alexis to watch our two dogs, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her responses were very quick, she sent us photos every day, and kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. She also took them to the park, and we could tell how much our dogs enjoyed their time with her. She is a trustworthy and fantastic sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them and for everything you did!

Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.

Lisa took a great care of my 17 weeks old puppy. Even tho Mocha had a difficult time potting when it rained outside, Lisa was patient with her and tried everything to ensure she didn’t just potty anywhere in the house. When I picked up Mocha, I noticed she was even calmer than before and she was heeling better as well.
Diana has watched our elderly dog, Sampson many times while we are out of town. Sampson loves his time at Diana’s house, where he is treated like family. She takes such good care of him, and he always comes home looking and acting great. We are very lucky to have found Diana as we do not have to worry at all, while we are away, about Sampson’s care.
