“Elaine was stellar to work with. She is upbeat, communicative, and handless my little one very well. I just relocated to the desert, and my dog has recently been through a lot of changes. Elaine was able to take care of my dog who has separation anxiety issues just great. I’ve worked with other Rover’s in LA who often stressed out at my dogs behavior, and Elaine really met the challenge in a professional and caring way. I would absolutely suggest hiring Elaine and plan to do so again in the future.”

“April was a fantastic dog and cat sitter to our four pets and did a great job looking after our house and resident houseplants when we were away for a week and took in our mail and packages. She gave my dog Lady her heart medication as well. She is also very responsive! I would definitely seek out April again for future trips and would recommend her to others!”

“Ashurina did a stellar job caring for our pets during our 4-night getaway to Big Bear Lake. We met with her a couple of days before our trip, and it was immediately clear she was the perfect sitter — our pets went right up to her for love and attention! While we were away, we had total peace of mind knowing our pets were in the best hands. Ashurina kept us updated with adorable photos and sweet stories about what they were up to, which made being away from them so much easier. When we came home, our pets were happy and relaxed — and we were thrilled to know that we now have someone we trust completely. Ashurina will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”

“Tony was amazing with our Sheepadoodle Califern. We ran into a pinch over the Thanksgiving holiday and needed to find coverage quickly and Tony delivered. He was flexible with Cali's needs and sent me updates with pictures during the stay. We joke that our dog is like our child and we're not kidding that we would talk about her nightly if she were ok and missing us. Having communication and pictures helped us know she was in a good space. I'd highly recommend boarding your dogs with Tony. He was awesome. --Tom”

“This was the second time we had Jon watch our doberman Tyson while visiting Palm Springs. Tyson has severe separation anxiety and Jon great while watching Tyson when we went out for the evening. Jon's professionalism and 'dog skills' allowed us to have evenings out without a single worry. We highly recommend Jon, and will using him on our next visit to Palm Springs. Thanks Jon!”

“Matt was so wonderful with my 2 chihuahuas! They typically take quite awhile to warm up to new people, but were both instantly comfortable with Matt. He clearly understands how to communicate with and care for dogs. I came home to a well-cared for home and two very happy dogs!”

“Dazier took great care of my two big dogs and house while my wife and I were out of town for the week. He kept them excercised and happy and the house safe and clean for us. A+ would definitely use his services again in a heartbeat.”

“Very communicative and great with my dog. While on vacation Daved needed to take my dog to the vet and care for an unexpected eye issue. He was completely reliable and went above and beyond to assist. Not to mention he took amazing care of my dog.”

“Justin was great he watched our 2 pups while we were out of town. He was great about communicating and sending pics. & He made sure to leave the house nice and clean for us to return to! Definitely would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter”

“Barbara was fantastic with Brutus and Brighton. She sent lots of photos, was communicative, flexible when our schedules shifted, and a pleasure to trust in the home. Thanks, Barbara! We will book again soon.”

“Had a wonderful experience with Georgia. I left her with somewhat involved instructions for my pup with special health needs and she followed them with such care and was very communicative in the process!”

“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”

“Jay was just wonderful with our puppy. She took her for walks each time. We were on vacation and loved the care she provided. We look forward to our next visit to have her watch Lexy again.”

I had a work trip that needed a dog sitter for a few overnights. Mia, came early the day I left for the airport and stayed with my Pups for the duration of my trip. She walked them daily and sent updated pictures. I appreciate her willingness to keep my babies calm and on their normal routine. I highly recommend Mia for your dog sitter needs.

Mia is the BEST. I've never used Rover and was nervous allowing someone into my home that I didn't know. Mia came by for a drop in visit before I left town and she gave me the best vibes. She sent pictures and kept in great contact with me while I was away. I will definitely be using her again to watch my dog in the near future!
