“Laurie is the best! Ralphie remembered her right away. She always sends pics and updates which I truly appreciate. I’m never worried and know Ralphie is safe when Laurie is here. We look forward to seeing her again next week!”
“Sabrina was great! She took care of our little baby and gave us peace of mind while we were away from home. She sent us daily photo updates, and kept an eye on things at our house as well. We would definitely book her again.”

“This was our first time to use Rover for our Layla girl and we can’t say enough about Maya, she is AMAZING (so we booked her again already)! She is extremely organized, detailed, a great communicator and followed all the instructions we left for her. Of course the biggest judge of character is our LayLay and she approves 100%, THANK YOU Maya!”
“Nita was a wonderful sitter for our 2 young and active corgis! She stayed in our home over the weekend to take care of our pups. She was very clean and left the house better than when she came! We will 100% use her as a sitter again!”
“Kirsten was such a great pet sitter for my dogs. One of my dogs struggled with boundaries around potty habits for the first few days but Kirsten was able to turn that around very quickly. I came home to happy and healthy pups that were very well cared for. The house was clean as well when I returned. I’d definitely book Kirsten again. She communicated well and sent pictures of the dogs so I knew they were well. It was a great experience overall.”
“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
“Amber is great! Our dog needs someone who wants to play and be active. She also helped us with a few other things we needed. We will be using her to dog sit again.”
“Hannah was great with our girls arrived on time and was informative through her visit. I instantly felt at ease with her in our home as though we had been old friends. I would for sure use her in the near future. Thank you Hannah!!!”
“Corrina and Lucy bonded quickly which is amazing because being a rescue, she is always “on guard”. We felt very comfortable leaving our home and our fur baby in Corinna’s care! We will be requesting her services again!”
“Zaida provided excellent care for our dogs while we were out of country on vacation for five days. We have a dog who can be fear-reactive to new people, and she took the time to do a drop-in to ensure a positive first meeting before we even booked. We truly appreciated her patience! She was very professional and communicative throughout the entire process. The daily updates and photos were great, and we felt totally at ease. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Alexys did a Great job with my old chocolate lab, Bentley! I appreciate her spirit and compassion for how she cares. She was always on time and Bentley really enjoyed being with her!! Thanks for all of your hard work!!”
“This is our third time having Adriana watch our dogs, and she is amazing. She is thorough and puts us at ease. The dogs are excited to see her each time, and she gives a full recap of her stay. With her expertise and understanding of dogs, she has been able to provide the care and attention that each one needs and desires. I have been able to rest easy whenever she is there. Would highly recommend!”
“Ambar is responsive, responsible and attentive to detail. Out pups were happy as could be with her, and the pics she sent while she was with them were an added bonus!”

Angela was heaven sent. I just recently lost my pug, one week before she was due to take care of both of my babies. Her kindness to my Sheba knowing that she was sad she showed her so much love attention to the point when I got home Sheba was crying for her at door! Angela you’re apart of our pack now Sheba said so lol. She has great heart . Thank you for helping me .
Brooke watched our three dogs again, this time on New Year’s Eve. One of my dogs is very scared of fireworks and Brooke was able to give him his medication and was so amazing at keeping an eye on him and our other boys. She’s always communicative and gives us updates. LOVE HER!
Ivette was amazing! Our puppy came home happy as can be! She ran out of dog food while sitting and was kind enough to go pick some up to feed our puppy. She also worked with us when our flight got delayed, even keeping him an extra night! We are so grateful for Ivette and glad Rover connected us!
Amber is a wonderful person! She loves our sweet pup as much as we do. She feels like one of the family! She stayed at our home for two weeks and we had no worries. She always leaves things as good as, or better than, when we left. And she is a wonderful communicator in words and pictures.
Kyra was outstanding! She cared for our furry babies as if they were her own. She was highly communicative- shared photos and updates frequently so we had no concerns. Our pets immediately took to her and we couldn’t be more grateful or pleased. Thank you, Kyra!
Reagan was so good with our boy, Ricky Bobby!! Ricky Bobby has a few quirks like most dogs do, but one of his more notable ones is that he tends to anxiety chew on himself when we’re out of the house, and sometimes breaks skin if not stopped. Reagan did a fantastic job watching out for this behavior and kept him calm and content through her time in our home. Reagan was also very communicative throughout the visit and sent multiple pictures and updates of the goings on. Overall, we could tell that Ricky Bobby was very comfortable and happy to be hanging out with his newest bestie Reagan, and we’re glad to have found another trustworthy sitter that loves our dog as much as we do!
