“Christine was very kind and Jolene seemed happy to be there! Her kids are very kind and clearly know how to interact with dogs, even more anxious ones. I would definitely board Jolene with Christine again in the future.”


“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”


“So grateful for Kerstyn to take our Charlie last minute. Our dog got along great with hers! I feel bad my she took such good care of her on walks and lots of snuggles. Will use again!”


“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

“Luciana was amazing! She took great care of our pup while we were away Thanksgiving week. She was very professional, communicative, and most importantly caring to our dog!”


“Lauren is fantastic and her pup Bentley is a sweetheart. Luna had a lovely stay and we will definitely be requesting Lauren for stays in the future!”


“Our dog loves her stays with Leonard and Kathryn! We love getting all the photo updates and our dog always comes home happy… which is saying a lot for our pup since she has separation anxiety.”


“Sky was amazing with my dog Ivy. In the three nights that my dog stayed with Sky, she sent updates and pictures regularly on how she was doing, and she seemed to have a great time with Sky and her dogs. I had never dripped my dog off to stay with someone at their house before, so I was a bit nervous but Sky was so nice and helpful, and was able to handle all of my dog's weird quirks and my worries.”


“Bridgid was phenomenal. Our dog is standoffish with new people, but by the end of two days with Bridgid he didn’t want to leaver her. Her years of dog ownership really show and she projects calm, confidence, and flexibility. She handled a complex med schedule like a champ and truly went above and beyond. She may be new to Rover, but don’t let that fool you - she is truly one of the best you will find.”


“Sush and her family were extremely accommodating and able to watch London overnight with only 2 days' notice, which we were super appreciative of. It's clear that London was well taken care of... thank you Sush!”


“Johanna was awesome! She was super communicative and easy going. I know Louis loved staying with her and Panda, and I would absolutely have her watch him again.”


“Emma was absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date with the cutest pictures and Malibu really enjoyed her time with her. I can’t wait to book with her again!”


“Zuleyris is amazing! From the moment I dropped off my 6 month chihuahua pup up until I picked her up. She sent me constant updates with pics and videos! I could just tell that they bonded and I knew Luna (my pup) was in really good hands. Would definitely recommend her.”


“Alyce took excellent care of our dog. She was great to have us over for a meet-up prior to the stay, was very interested in getting to know our older dog's specific needs and was easy to work with. She sent daily pics / videos and a full rundown when we picked up. Highly recommend.”


“Morgan was fantastic!! This was actually my first time using rover as a customer. She was very understanding and was willing to meet my pup beforehand which made the transition much more comfortable for the both of us. My pup and hers had a wonderful time. Would recommend.”


“Once again, Dana never ceases to amaze. This is my second time booking with Dana and my dog Luna always has a great time. Cannot stop thanking Dana. Will certainly book again!”


“Grateful again for Erin’s attention and loving care for my pupper. She is kind, positive in outlook, communicative, and reliable. There is no greater comfort than knowing my pup is in her very capable, thoughtful hands when I have to go out of town.”


“Nyla was a fantastic host to Polly, my miniature schnauzer, for several days and evenings. She was caring, attentive, and offered a safe and loving home. She communicated daily, sending pictures and updates on how Polly was doing. This is my first time boarding Polly, and I feel SO fortunate to have found Nyla. Will absolutely request her services in the future!”

Cherrydale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Claudia was great! It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel at ease while we were out of town. She was responsive and sent a picture once a day. When we returned our pup seemed happy and healthy! We couldn't ask for anything better! Thank you Claudia!

After submitting the booking request, Michel was very responsive and asked thoughtful questions to ensure our pet would be comfortable during the meet and greet and the sitting. Our boy is a rescue and struggles with anxiety, and it was clear Michel and her husband helped him feel right at home. We would love to book with them again in the future.

Emily did an amazing job with my dog Murphy! Always sent pictures and gave updates on him. She asked questions when she had them which we really appreciated! Murphy definitely enjoyed his stay with Emily and happy that I now have a trusted sitter for him where he’ll be looked after and enjoy his time there! Will be rebooking in the near future and highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter!

Amy was awesome! She took great care of Tofu over the weekend. Tofu loved playing with Amy's sweet doodle, Hazel. Amy also sent us a lot of pictures of them having fun and Tofu hanging out in their house. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog — couldn’t ask for more. Will leave Tofu again. Thanks, Amy!

Patricia is truly an incredible sitter. Our puppy loves quality time from people and it’s so clear that Patricia gave her the attention and care she needed. Ours is an English bulldog, which requires a bit more care than most breeds, and she was very well cared-for. Patricia also was proactive in her communication, sharing how our puppy was doing and sending lots of cute photos. I can’t recommend Patricia enough! It’s clear she truly is a pet person who cares for the pets she takes care of.

Madeline and her Staffordshire, Gus really took great care of Rusty over the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date with how things were going. Gus and Rusty seemed to be very happy playing together and hanging out. We will definitely be booking again.
