11. Christina W.
“Christina was great! Our dogs seemed calm and content when we brought them home. She sent pictures all weekend of them on walks and her sons loving on our boys, which melted my heart. I like that even though she had a backyard and let them play in it she still took them on walks. I also like that they were allowed on her couch, as our pups are allowed on the couch at our house. She was able to accommodate changing the drop off time as well. Her house was clean and smelled really good when I dropped them off as well. I would definitely trust my pups with her again.”

“Omg where do I start. This was my very first time using Rover and last minute at 3am I was in desperate need of a sitter for my puppy. Less than 30 mins Destini responded and was willing to watch my baby. She kept me up dated with the cutest pictures and videos of my baby and I could see the excitement and happiness in his face in the pictures and videos. Communicating with her was also extremely good and pleasant. I would definitely recommend and hope to keep using her time after time.”

Thank you so much, Taylor, for a great experience!”

20. Marianne J.
“Is there a way to give 10 stars? This was my first ROVER experience and it was simply amazing. Marianne's home was welcoming and warm for my precious golden doodle, Remi. There were lots of pictures of the fun my pup was having without me. She was very happy and loved. Marianne and Her pup, Ginger provided lots of cuddles and comfort to Remi. I can't say enough about how happy and satisfied I was with Remi's stay. Most excellent. 10 out of 10!!!!”
