I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
“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.”
“Tatyana, in a word...FABULOUS..!! Easy to reach...Flexible...Understand the needs of me and my dog. When I cam to. retrieve my dog...He didn't want to leave. Thank you, Tatyana Rich”
“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.”
“We’ve trusted Nadine's family with Mochi several times, and they are absolutely the best. They always take such great care of Mochi, and we’re truly grateful. Mochi loves staying with them every time. Highly recommend! Thank you always!!”
“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.”
“Noemi and David were absolute amazing hosts. They were able to accommodate me last minute and were very communicative during Teddys stay. They have a a sweet, friendly family who truly love the pets that stay here. I recommend these hosts. 10/10”
“Elizabeth was amazing. She took very good care of my baby while I was on vacation. She gave updates throughout the day which was very reassuring. Her home was nice and clean as well. She also has a great backyard. Would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“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!”
“Claudia is fabulous. She was wonderful and patient with our nervous dog, and so flexible when we accidentally booked the wrong dates!! Paisley will definitely be staying with Claudia again.”
“Kristin took such good car of our dog while we were away for over a week!! She sent pictures every day and kept us up to date on everything, excellent communication before, during and even after our stay to check in how he was settling back in at home. Will definitely use her again, thank you for making Otto feel so at home!”
“Mariana was so great with our pup! She was so responsive and updated us multiple times a day while we were away! Our pup was so well taken care of and had a blast playing with the other doggies! Thank you again Mariana for treating our pup like your own!”
“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.”
“Jen was absolutely magnificent as ever. Our Stella clearly had a great time and was very well taken care of. We received pictures of a very happy dog each and every day while we were gone! We will most certainly book again whenever we can - Jen is a truly 1st class sitter!”
“Laura did a great job of communicating throughout my dog’s stay and was very understanding when circumstances changed. Great experience overall and I could tell my dog was well cared for!”
“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!
