“This was the first time that I used this service. It was the longest my dog has ever been separated from me and he was on a strict diet, so I was extremely selective in choosing a sitter. I appreciated the daily photos and I think my dog was able to adjust well since he is used to humans being with him most of the day. It appears that he learned to get along better with dogs while he was there. The hosts were patient, considerate, flexible and very good with dogs and their parents. I will definitely use them again when I am in the area.”
“My dog Boomba came back from her 9 day stay with Damacia a happy dog! Damacia was easy to stay in touch with and sent me photos and updates daily. I would def book with Damacia again!”
“Matt was great with our dog daisy! He sent frequent updates with lots of pictures - we could tell she was having so much fun! Will definitely book with him again.”
“Cyndi was AMAZING! She loves dogs and you can see it. She’s very communicative and makes sure you are aware of how your pet is settling in and doing throughout the day.”
“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”
“Sarah was so kind and patient with my sweet boy! She took great care of him and gave him so much one on one attention. He came home so tired and happy! I’ll definitely use her next time I go out of town, and might even book for days where I know I’ll be working late! Everything was so easy and she was truly the most kind and accommodating person.”
“Julie took such good care of my energetic girl Indi! She seemed to be right at home in all of the pictures and got some good run time in in their spacious backyard. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”
“Raye was absolutely great! She kept me informed about how he was doing, she sent photos, she was very accommodating and really created a nice environment for dogs to have fun and fellowship. I would definitely come back to her any day and recommend anyone for her service!”

“Hilary was incredible with our pup, Indo! This was our first time using the rover service and our first time leaving Indo with someone who wasn’t family. She sent me updates and pictures on how Indo was doing and it really put us at ease knowing we left him with a sitter that really treats your pups like family! 10/10 would recommend Hilary and we will definitely be returning if we ever need her again in the future!”
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”
“Nicole was a great sitter! She provided daily updates and answered right away when I had any questions. My dog had a great time staying there. She was in good hands and would definitely book with Nicole again!”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”
“Kat was fantastic while watching our dog, Hope. She was very communicative and gave us updates while we were away. Kat was very kind to give Hope all the cuddles, which is top important business for this very demanding dog.”
“Kyla is the perfect sitter — responsible, communicative, and incredibly caring! I truly appreciated how she went above and beyond to care for my pup, Jessi. I was away on a 5-day trip, and for the first time, I didn’t worry about Jessi’s care. Kyla paid close attention to all of Jessi’s needs and made sure she was comfortable throughout her stay. Her thoughtful daily updates meant so much to me. I had such a wonderful experience and can’t recommend Kyla enough!”

City Center dog parents share their Rover experiences
Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.
Tank really enjoyed being with Myrna. She filled me lots of photos and videos while I was on vacation and I will say Tank had a vacation of his own with her. She is really good at understanding a dog’s wants and needs. She was boarding other dogs for the week he was there Tank made lots of friends. I will definitely be rebooking with her.
Matt was such an amazing sitter. He gave me daily updates and sent pics of how much fun my little Odessa was doing. He knew that I haven't boarded her before so he was extra attentive and kind which immediately eased my worries. I can't wait to book with Matt again!
Ethel is our favorite dog sitter for our pup when we go on trips and can’t bring him along. She is very kind and attentive with him, giving him lots of love and pets and being sure to keep us updated with lots of pictures. Our dog enjoys getting to spend time with other dogs when he stays with Ethel. It’s great for his socialization and allows him lots of time to play and have fun while we are out of town. Ethel is great!! Highly recommend!
Joleya made Oreo feel so comfortable that I thought he wouldn’t want to come home! She was kind and responsive and flexible when we had to modify the pick up type. When I picked him up he was his usual happy go lucky self. I can tell he had an amazing time! I would absolutely love to utilize Joleya’s services again.
Michaela is an amazing and dedicated dog sitter! She’s very personable and professional as well. She provided us regular updates and photos of our two pups, Rodger and Bailey. She accommodated our dog who has known back/neck issues and was patient with our other dog who is reactive. We highly recommend her to anyone else! :)
Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!
We had a great experience with our recent pet sitter, who watched our two dogs, Griffin and Max, while we were away. From our first communication, they were responsive and kind. When we got back, the dogs were relaxed and content. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!
Lila was exceptional with care and communication for our older dog while we were away. She went above and beyond when he wasn't feeling well and was having extended issues, and we were relieved to come back to a happy, recovering doggo. Highly recommend Lila as a friendly, responsive, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!
