“Linda provided great care for my mini poodle for 6 nights. I was out of town and Linda sent email updates daily sent one video of her playing. The messages were reassuring that she was happy and safe. When I travel again I will definitely have Linda take care of my dog.”


“Very responsive and easy to communicate. Our pet had a great time with Cristina and her family. She took him for walks and to the park. Sent pictures and was able to take care of him as requested. Even though Leo was troublesome the first night, she was very patient with him and got him through the first night's stay. Thank you Cristina.”


“Amazing family and an obvious love for dogs - a very well kept environment - plenty of vast play space - focused attentive care and one of the kindest person I’ve ever met”


“Katherine and her family are the best! My Abbi was cuddled and loved as if she was theirs! I received photos and a report every day on how she did. I highly recommend them for caring for your fur baby!!❤️”

“Robin & Rahn took such good care of our Charlie while we were away 💗 Robin was so accommodating when she allowed us to schedule a meet & greet the same day I reached out to see if they were available. When we showed up her energy was calm friendly and welcoming, our Charlie is normally a little sketchy with new people and he quickly fell in love with her! Their backyard is so cute and quaint with areas of nice grass for the doggies to play and lay in the sun, as well as an outdoor couches to cuddle with them on. We met Rahn the day we dropped Charlie off and he was so friendly and Charlie warmed right up to him! We knew our guy was in great hands. Throughout his stay we got lots of videos and photos of Charlie playing with toys, cuddling up with them, videos of his walks, and even him playing with their dog and one other dog they were watching which was so sweet! We instantly felt comfortable like Charlie fit in and was right at home with them and knew that he was calm comfortable and relaxed there. I will absolutely be bringing Charlie back to Robin & Rahn for our future trips! So grateful to have found them ☺️”

She was also very patient with puppy energy and took her to my local dog park so she can still be around her friends while I was gone (and let out some energy). Would definitely recommend!”

“Holly was truly amazing! I messaged her a couple days before I was leaving for a 6 day trip. I get very nervous whenever I have to leave Maui as I haven’t always had the best luck with sitters. Holly made me feel so comfortable and she attended to all of Mauis needs. She also sent a lot of pictures and videos while I was gone which I really appreciated. I would recommend Holly to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Maui had an amazing time with her dog Winter, who is also very loving and playful.”

I highly recommend Artie if you need a reliable and cautious sitter!”

City Heights West dog parents share their Rover experiences
I left my dog Jazzy with Celina for an extended stay and couldn't be happier. No complaints whatsoever, just praise. Jazzy returned better than when I left her. She was calm, happy and clean. I could tell she was well cared for. My experience was positive and I highly recommend Celina for your dog boarding.

Nancy has done a wonderful job with my pup. Plus she's been great at helping accommodate to my schedule! I would highly recommend her!

Cierra took awesome care of our pup while we were gone for a week! She sent daily updates, including videos (I’d never received video updates on Rover before!). It was so nice to see our pup playing and having fun. They really incorporated her into their lives and even accommodated her sleeping preferences by letting her sleep on their couch. I know our dog had a great vacation with them! We definitely hope she’s available next time we go out of town!

Another excellent experience with Holly taking care of our Shih Tzu. You know things went well when the doggy comes home happy!

Mashka was wonderful with my pup! She sent tons of pictures and updates, and I can tell Gidget had a wonderful time with her. Highly recommend!

Marica was wonderful with Carmela. She provided regular photo updates with captions and was professional from beginning to end. I would highly recommend her to anyone and appreciate her for giving Carmela a nice wash before returning her to me.

Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.

Popeye was so happy and comfortable. I can generally tell how he’s feeling by his body language even in photos, and every update I got was so reassuring. He got along great with her puppy too! Taruna was also super understanding and flexible when I had to adjust plans a bit. Thank you Taruna, hope to see you again sometime!

Highly recommend. Shaina did a great job with Bailey - consistent updates, great pictures of my dog playing / relaxing around Shaina's house. Shaina was flexible, very fast to respond, and easy to work with. Will definitely be using Shaina again - nice knowing my dog was in such great hands.

Muffins has made friends for life in Austin and his family! Muffins is normally very anxious when it comes to visiting new places and meeting new people, but it was immediately clear after his first day that he really enjoyed himself! Every morning for drop off, Muffins was always very excited to see Austin. And at pickup, Muffins was content from his day of play! Austin is also great at providing updates and pictures of our boy during his stay which put our own separation anxiety at ease! There is no question we will use Austin again when it comes to Muffins' care!

This is our third time using Mark for boarding and he is always great at watching our dog. He keeps us updated and sends pictures. Definitely recommend!

Would absolutely love to book with them again! Felt like my two dogs were well cared for. Both are very responsive via text and take care of your pets as if they were their own. Highly recommend.

If I could leave more than 5 stars I absolutely would. We have two fun but chaotic dogs that are at times a handful. Mairead was incredibly communicative and clearly had genuine care for our pups (bonus she has a large yard). We got pictures and videos each day- and even some funny stories. Completely put our anxiety at ease. It was our first time using Rover and she made the experience well worth the cost. Will be 100% booking again if we have the need. Thank you for caring after our dogs so well!

My older dog needed a nice relaxing atmosphere and she got it staying here. Will book with them again if available.

Nayra took great care of our dog! She provided frequent updates throughout his stay and he came home tired and happy!

Would give 10 stars if I could - Melina was an amazing dog sitter for my senior pup who required a lot of TLC with a torn ACL. I had quite a set of instructions for Melina to follow and she was so patient and detail oriented around the care she provided Penny. She also gave me a ton of updates throughout so I knew Penny was in good hands. Would highly recommend Melina to all the pup parents out there!

Audrey was amazing! Took great care of our corgi Lily, gave updates and sent pictures to make sure she was doing okay.

Brianne was amazing with my 11yo Husky! She was communicative, accommodating, and sent lots of pictures that put me at ease. She also administered his meds and let me know how he was reacting. It is hard to leave a senior dog with someone new but Brianne was a pro and Stark had a great time with her and Olive. I definitely recommend Brianne with high confidence!

He was communicative during my dog’s stay, sent photo updates, and very friendly! I’d trust him with my dogs again! Thanks Stephen!

Helen was an awesome sitter! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Romeo for his 5 day stay while we were out of town. Helen was very attentive to my dog’s needs and followed our schedule, structures and routines. I appreciated the check ins and loved the pictures! It was great to see how comfortable Romeo was in your care, and to see your kindness and passion for what you do. Thank you so much for your service, we highly recommend your sitting, and will definitely rebook again! 🤍
