“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“My dog was happy in the moment she met Ninoska, very friendly environment and very nice people, I knew how Luna was doing every day, Ninoska was very kind and made Luna feel at home, would 100% recommend to my friends and return for next time 💯”
“Hands down, Angie is the best dog sitter! I had to be away from my dog Benji for 24 long days, which in general, it's hard to be away from our fur babies for any length of time, but I knew he would be in great hands with Angie and put any worries I had at ease. She kept me updated daily with videos and pictures (she is an amazing photographer btw) she gave him lots of cuddles, care and treats and even taught him some new really cool tricks! She walked him daily, followed my instructions of his everyday routines and took him to really cool places in the city and even the beach! She even helped me by taking him to his grooming appointment! He really had the best time with Angie and I know he felt super loved and got spoiled the whole time. I would highly recommend Angie to anyone that needs a sitter for their fur baby. She really cares about her client's and their dogs and it shows! I will definitely be using Angie for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Quang was absolutely amazing with our baby Mika! I can’t say enough great things about Quang and the care they provided for my dog. They took care of Mika for a full week, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. Quang kept me updated with daily photos, and detailed messages, which meant so much while I was away. Mika looked so happy in the photos I received daily. When I came home, my pup was relaxed, he brushed her and cleaned her eyes. She was obviously very well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book Quang again or recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for being amazing and treating Mika like your own!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Enrique took great care of Coco. He kept us updated with pictures and she looked comfortable and happy. He was also very flexible with our drop off and pick up times when we were running a bit behind. It was a great first experience with Rover.com. We'll definitely look to book with Enrique again for any future care needs.”
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”
“Koryn kept me updated my dog by sending pictures and videos and assuring me that she’s safe by the time my mom picked my dog up my said that my dog was happy to see her but sad she had to leave. I will definitely book with Koryn again”
“I have to say I was skeptical to book with rover as a first timer but Angela kept me informed of how my pup was doing with videos and comments, which had me at ease. I would definitely book again.”
“I was anxious to leave my black cat with someone even just for the weekend but he’s such a social cat I didn’t have the heart to leave him alone. Rochelle was so sweet and indulged me when I asked how he was doing. She sent me pics and updates a few times a day. It made me rest easier during my work conference. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! We have a 6 month old 50lb pup & he loved his stay! We were contacted throughout the day with pics and videos. We will for sure be rebooking! Highly recommend. Bernie loved it and we loved having him in a safe and friendly home”
“As a senior with health concerns, my Twinkles doesn't get a lot of playtime and other activities that I would like him to enjoy as a young dog. I am so happy when I leave him with Te. He has a great time. He is so happy. I can tell by all the pics she sends. Te is amazing and Twinkles loves her. This is Twinkles's 3rd stay with Te.”
“Nitasha's welcoming attitude when we met a few days prior set a positive tone for the entire experience. I'm delighted to share that not only did my dogs come home happy, but her daily videos, photos, and detailed walk recaps demonstrated her genuine care. I highly recommend Nitasha's dog sitting service for a warm, reliable, and joyful experience.”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”

Lifu is amazing! She took great care of our 11 month old golden retriever while we were out of the country for two weeks. She followed his routine instructions and also sent us multiple pictures and videos while he was in her care. It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter and we are so grateful we found someone like Lifu to take care of him. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Our pup also enjoyed staying with her, to the extent that he was sad to leave when we went to pick him up.
Brenda an her family was perfect in every way . She cared and provided love to Fredum like it was her dog . She followed all my instructions and brought him some toys to build trust . I tipped her directly . I didn’t know that Rover was an option. I will use Brenda every-time. She is family now . Brenda thank you 😊
We left Coco with Sri for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sri was incredibly communicative and responsive, sending daily photo and video updates that gave us so much peace of mind. They were very patient and understanding during Coco’s transition into a new home and handled all the adjustments with care. Coco was clearly very well taken care of—she absolutely loved them and even bonded with the cats! If we travel again, they will be our first choice for boarding. Highly recommend!
This review is for my last 3-night stay with sitter Jestine. She sent me 2-3 photos a day. Shots that I couldn’t possible get Ba$h to sit still for. He looked so overjoyed at all times. He’s very strong (pulls), happy and energetic as usual at handoffs but she took over with calmness making him take a liking to her. He came home clean with all of his belongings. This is my 2nd time booking with Jestine this year. She’s sweet, punctual and her home is open and homely for Sebastian. I’ll definitely continue booking with Jestine as long as she offers Rover, Sebastian, and I her services!
I recently had Omar take care of my dog, Oreo, while I was traveling, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Omar was professional, kind, and attentive. He took the time to learn Oreo’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Omar provided regular updates and photos, which made it clear that Oreo was in great hands and having a wonderful time. When I came home, Oreo was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that Omar genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. I highly recommend Omar to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter. Oreo and I are both so grateful — we’ll definitely be booking with him again! 🐶💛
