Karina did an excellent job looking after my dog while I was away for the weekend. This was my first time having someone watch him, and her regular updates and photos kept me from worrying. Her friendly dog was an added bonus, and it was clear from the moment I picked up Teddy that he had been well-loved and cared for the whole time. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Karina again for future trips.

I'm so overjoyed and relieved I found Gaileen and her family. I am new to using Rover. In the process of looking for a sitter, I ran into unreliable sitters and sitters who were not a match for my pet and I. From the meet and greet to after my dogs first overnight Gaileen and her family put me at ease. At the meet and greet, she was professional asking preferences for my dog's comfort. Once the stay occurred, she messaged me with updates and pictures throughout the day. By the second visit, my senior dog seemed comfortable and happy to be there. She is a responsible , caring and professional sitter. I'm truly happy to have found her.

Our first time leaving our basset hound Chester with Bruce was a very positive experience. He interacted with the dog and communicated with us often. After meeting Bruce, and especially after his first text, we knew we had no worries. We highly recommend Bruce for your pet. Thank you Bruce for keeping our dog safe, happy, and secure.

Stefanie was absolutely amazing with my dog! This was my first time using Rover and I was pretty anxious, but she was a fantastic communicator throughout my dog's stay. We got so many adorable pictures and video updates. Her cats are super dog-friendly, and my dog got along great with them. Stefanie is very knowledgable and understands the nuances of pet care. My dog had a wonderful experience, and usually my dog is pretty anxious in new situations! She got plenty of affection, attention, and exercise. I would definitely book Stefanie again!

We left our Bernese Mountain Dog with Kara for a week and a half and had so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved as much as we love him. Kara was great and sent us many pictures and updates throughout our time away. I have to say, our doggie looked like he was smiling in all of the pictures...I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home :) I highly recommend Kara to love your pets in your absence!

I couldn't be happier with the care Christina and her family provided for my dog during Thanksgiving week! They kept me updated with pictures and videos, which reassured me he was in great hands. I truly appreciated that they allowed him to sleep in their bedroom and were so understanding of his initial sadness and nervousness. Thanks to their love and attention, he returned home happy and relaxed—quite a difference from his previous experiences. I will definitely be booking with Christina again in the future!

Stephanie had a houseful of dogs when I dropped Kasha off for her first time there, and Kasha was a bit overwhelmed. But photos I received from Stephanie soon after showed Kasha looking calm and comfortable. Stephanie is obviously very experienced with dogs, and Kasha was well cared for. I would definitely use Stephanie again.

Siqing is a great sitter, she seems to genuinely care about our dog Molly as if she was her own, and she is incredibly communicative (pics and general updates during the stay), plus Molly came back with a festive bandana and a great desire to nap after all the fun she had with Siqing's others pets!

Esmeralda was amazing with my dog max. She made him apart of her family for the week he was with them. She sent me text with videos and pictures. There wasn’t one moment I felt unsure about her watching max. She kept me informed and reassured me that max was in safe hands. We would love to have her watch max again in the future.

Whenever Natalia watches Maya, I always feel completely at ease knowing Maya is in the best hands. Natalia is incredibly responsible and attentive, and her two dogs get along wonderfully with Maya—which is great since Maya is only 7 pounds! Despite her small size, I never worried for a second. Natalia is also wonderfully communicative in the best way possible. She sends frequent updates and lots of adorable photos, which always put my mind at ease and shows just how happy and well-cared-for Maya is while I’m away. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs. Knowing that Maya is not only safe but actually enjoying herself makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have found Natalia and will absolutely continue to trust her with Maya in the future!
