“Aleksandra is awesome! She totally bonded with our little dude Rylo & sent photos to keep us updated which put us at ease. She was prompt, responsive & loving on our little pup! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to see you again!”
“We were on a trip and decided to stay in an Airbnb. It turned out that we needed a dog sitter at the last minute, and that's when Darya came to our rescue! Let me tell you, she was absolutely amazing! I mean, I wish she could come back home with us and be Rosie's permanent sitter whenever we're away. Darya went above and beyond, sending us photos, videos, and updates throughout the day. And guess what? They even took our furry friend to the beach! We could see how happy it made Rosie, and it warmed our hearts. Darya really made an effort to spend quality time with our dog and even stayed late for us. I must say, we were truly impressed. The day couldn't have gone any better, thanks to Darya’s incredible care.”
“Sarah was fantastic. She accepted our last‑minute, early‑morning request and showed up full of positive enthusiasm. She handled our two high‑energy huskies with care, keeping them happy, engaged, and safe.”
“Halle was punctual, very communicative and thoughtful during her stay with our puppy. She left our home clean and bed sheets freshly washed, she took great care of our pup sending multiple updates per day and taking her on multiple walks. We would love to have Halle again next time.”
“What a great experience! I had Vanessa stay at my place for 5 nights with my 2 dogs and it was great. I got pictures of my girls and updates daily so communication was excellent! My girls were happy and healthy when I got home and my place was clean. Will absolutely be booking again! :)”
“Elijah was fantastic! I have a rescue pitbull who can sometimes get spooked by strangers coming into the house. I asked Elijah to meet us a day early so I could introduce them properly and he was happy to do so. While he was dog sitting he sent a ton of cute photos of the pups and updated me periodically so I knew everything was going smoothly. He’s the first dog sitter I’ve trusted outside of family members and everything went great! 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Jarrod was absolutely amazing! He followed all instructions perfectly, had great communication throughout the entire stay, and kept my dog safe and well cared for. He even went above and beyond by cleaning up afterward. Couldn’t recommend him more — 10/10!”
“Literally one of the best rovers I’ve ever had. He sent numerous pictures throughout the day, sent multiple updates, took care of the house and made sure to help my old pup be as comfortable as possible while I was gone. I will 100% be booking him again and as soon as I know I have plans. Thank you so much!”
“Rosa was simply the best to work with. She provided constant updates and photos and gave us the best of care. I was going thru a loss in my family and Rosa gave me peace of mind knowing Shaka was being well taken care of. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would book again.”
“Mara is incredible! She was a fantastic sitter for my pup, bringing him on adventures and taking great care of him! She was so patient with my nervous boy, which end in him giving her all of the snuggles. Mara kept me updated with photos and end of the day updates that made me feel so comfortable even though I was so far away. I will definitely utilize Mara’s services again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter :)”
“Kristin is amazing! She sent photos and communicated the entire time on my trip. I never had to worry that my dog and cat weren’t receiving the best care. I could tell she treated girls and home like her own. I also came home to a spotless house - so thankful!”

Valeria is fantastic. She’s a sweetheart! She is super responsive and gives great feedback on the status of our pets. I have a very high energy dog and she handles her great. I have zero worries when Valeria watches our pets. Our place was immaculate when we got back. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Sarah is truly a gem! She immediately hit it off with our 2-year old golden retriever Jackson. She took him on several walks throughout the day and we could see from the pictures she sent that our boy was having a great day while we were away. Sarah is warm, friendly, reliable and clearly loves caring for our furry companions. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely ask her to stay with Jackson again.
Our dogs loved Andrea the moment they met her. This was the first time we used the houses it option and Andrea did a great job. She sent many photos and kept us up to date on everything. The house was super clean when we got home and she even did laundry. We will definately use Andrea again. She was wonderful!
Claudia came to our rescue when we needed daytime sitting for a couple of days last minute. She made the effort to get acquainted with our dog before starting. Claudia was very caring and gentle with our fur baby, who is generally anxious with strangers, especially without us there with her. We got updates with photos throughout the day, which were very comforting and appreciated. We're really grateful for Claudia's service, and would absolutely go to her again.
Alan took such great care of our pups! He was responsive and provided updates and did really well with following care instructions. The dogs were very mellow and calm after we came back and usually they’re a lot more high energy, which goes to show that they really enjoyed their time with him and were comfortable with him. 100% would rebook with him!
As a nervous rover first timer, Nancy could not have done any better! She was amazing for two nights with our two fur babies, and I think we have found a dog sitter to add to our contact list. We have a senior dog on many medications and she kept all on schedule, and the babies both ate well for her. NANCY IS A GREAT FIND!!!
We are giving Janet 5/5. This was our first time using Rover and we are happy with who we picked. Her past reviews are true! She cares for your dog like if they were hers, and tries to be as helpful as possible. She asked questions when things were unclear and was able to make us(doggy parents) feel comfortable. We felt like our fluff child was in good hands. She communicated and made sure our special pomerenian was attended for. We will be booking with her again.
My wife recently passed away and I planned a trip with all my kids and grandkids to spread her ashes. I had two small dogs and one of them passed away the day before we left on the trip. Darya stayed with my other dog who I knew would be lonely and took such great care of her we were able to make our trip. We were gone for seven days and came home to a happy dog. I highly recommend her for watching your dog or cat and I will definitely be using her in the future any time I need to be away again.
Emily was great! She gave updates and pics regularly and made me feel like I could take the time away from home. My dog is a senior and has become a finicky eater…especially when I am gone. Emily had to hand feed him multiple times…she took the time to care for him and I’m sure it wasn’t easy.
Monica was truly wonderful. This was our first time leaving Benji with anyone else since adopting him, and because he is a rescue who can be a little skittish with new people, we were understandably nervous. But the moment Monica walked through the door, her sweet, gentle demeanor immediately put us at ease. Benji clearly felt safe with her too, because he settled down and stopped whining shortly after we left. Monica sent us photos and thoughtful updates throughout the evening without us ever having to ask, and showed so much genuine care for our little guy. We were visiting San Diego, and she came to our Airbnb to watch him, which made everything incredibly easy. We truly cannot recommend her enough, especially for rescues or dogs who need a little extra patience and gentleness. My husband and I only wish she lived in L.A. because we would book her again in a heartbeat!
The absolute best! Leah (Caitlin) took wonderful care of our home and two pups (a very high energy one and a brand new puppy!) while we were away. Communication was excellent, she sent regular updates and photos, and we came home to two very happy doggos. Already booked for future sittings :) highly recommend!
Kaitie was wonderful! She kept our puppy entertained with lots of activities while we were away for the weekend, which is no easy feat with how energetic he is. She sent frequent updates and made us feel at ease the entire time we were gone. We highly recommend!
