“Vivi was amazing with my girl! It was a last minute booking due to medical reasons and Vivi worked it out. I recorded pictures and updates, which were greatly appreciated.”


“Kath & Jordan were so great!! This was my first time booking with Rover and they made the process so easy with almost immediate responses and lots of pictures! They made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup with them, and she came home worn out after having the best time! I would definitely recommend them!!!”



“Great home for a dog! Family of dog lovers, and other dogs to play with in the house too. Easy communication, and great photo and video updates while we were away. We will definitely bring our dog back to Tania's house next time we need a sitter.”


“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”


“Visiting town and needed a last minute sitter. Amanda was excellent and Felix had the best time. Got cute photo updates the whole time. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Dana is awesome! Our pup loves spending time with her while we love knowing she is taken care of! Dana is quick to respond, flexible, and communicates well!”



“Casey is truly amazing and so glad to have found someone as caring and attentive as her and her family. Throughout the stay Casey always kept us at ease with constant communication and photos. This has been by far the best experience we have had on rover and over the years and in different cities Casey really sets herself apart from the other pet sitters we have used. Thank you so much Casey for being the amazing and kind person you are. Dani and Ronan”


“I could not be more pleased with Candice! Accommodating, caring, and sends tons of pictures! I never once worried about my dog’s wellbeing or care while I was away! A big relief! Will be using again!”


“Angelee is fantastic! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Charlie while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Because Charlie is diabetic and requires daily insulin shots we are always concerned about leaving him. But Angelee was great about sending us bright and happy messages “from Charlie” as well as multiple photos every day to reassure us he was doing well. Knowing he was in good hands was such a relief and made our vacation much more relaxing and enjoyable. We are so glad we found her!”


“Christina was AWESOME! The boys loved her- they were so happy and tired after. She took them on several walks too. Cal can be anxious and he seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”


“Dina was great to work with! She’s very nice and made the process as easy as possible. Her communication was top notch throughout, and she was great about sending us updates and pictures daily while we were away. She took our dog for walks and spent time outside playing with her. We will definitely use Dina again!”


“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate. She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”


“Alex and Martha are great! Communication is excellent. They spent a lot of time with our dog and she had a blast playing with their dog. We were worried about leaving her with a sitter for the first time but we had absolutely no issues at all. Will definitely use them again for our next trip!”


“Ava did a phenomenal job caring for my two pups, Trooper & Shaiya. We scheduled a meet and greet the evening before boarding and Ava kindly came to my residence to meet the dogs and ensure everything would work well with her dog as well. My dogs are young (8 and 6 months), and have a lot of play energy. Ava did a great job caring for them and provided me with pictures/videos along the way. Given her success with this challenge, I'm highly confident she will take excellent care of your dog as well! 10/10 recommend!”


“Nathan was great with Remy and she loved staying with him. He was a great communicator, sending videos and photos. I highly recommend him and will be booking him again!”



“Stacey took wonderful care of my two dogs even watching out for Mr Burt’s bad habit of eating poop! Both dogs were very comfortable there! Will definitely have Stacey care for them again!”


“Sarah is amazing! It was our first time using her and Ollie absolutely loved staying there. She'd take him on walks, send me updates, and pictures. She's such a great person! I'm looking forward to using her more often!”
