4. David R.

“David is absolutely wonderful! This was the first time David watched Harley and it was for almost two weeks. Not a day went by that I didn’t receive several updates with lots of pictures of Harley about town. David took such great care of Harley and really helped ease any separation anxiety I had. I highly, highly recommend David - he’s incredible!!”


5. Tory J.

“11/10! First time using Rover and it could not have been a better experience. Tory has the perfect setup for taking care of dogs with plenty of indoor space and a private outdoor terrace that's like a private playground for the dogs. Was very easy to communicate with her and coordinate drop off/pick up. Will definitely look for her again next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Nirvana did great watching our dog for the weekend! She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating. We would definitely book with her again. Thanks!”


7. Anne A.

“Anne took great care of our dog Ruby! She was very attentive and patient with our girl. She sent us photos and checkins during her stay. We are so happy to have found such a caring sitter and will absolutely use her again!”


8. Natalie S.

“Natalie is awesome! We did a meet and greet before because our dog tends to be a little anxious with new people, but he warmed up to her so quick. She gave us updates throughout the entire weekend. Will be using her again for sure!”


9. Miruna B.

“I’m scared to give Miruna 5 stars because I feel like she’s rover’s best kept secret and now everyone’s gonna know! She was AMAZING. My pup had a blast with her, she was incredibly communicative and treated my dog as if she was her own. Couldn’t ask for a better rover experience”


10. Iman C.

“We had a wonderful experience with Iman. It was our first time using a rover and she made us feel comfortable and secure leaving our dog for a weekend. Iman sent lots of photos and took great care of our Murphy! Will use her again!”


11. Ellana G.


“Ellana was fantastic in taking care of our 14 year old beagle, Dexter. We'll definitely be entrusting her with the care of Dexy again in the future.”


12. Angie N.

“Tank absolutely LOVED his stay with Angie! He came back so calm and happy. We always get worried leaving our Frenchie with anyone but as soon as I met Angie, I knew she would be a great fit. She taught Tank tricks, took him on lots of walks, gave him cuddles, and sent many pictures to help us get through his absence! It helps knowing next time we are out of town, that Angie will be here taking care of our little boy! 🥰 Thanks so much!!”


13. Amy C.


“Amy and he partner were wonderful to Colin! He was very comfortable at her apartment. She provided me photos and updates throughout the day. I would use Any again!”


14. Kecia O.

“Could not have asked for a better sitting experience for our 8 year old Tina! Kecia was kind, communicative, and clearly cares about all the animals she watches. We met up a few days ahead so our dogs could meet and everything was totally seamless - we felt completely confident and comfortable out of town knowing Tina was with Kecia. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”


15. Eva & Tyler P.

“Eva and Tyler were so amazing with my pup. Constant pictures and communication, play time, and long walks. I have a very energetic dog and the did everything to tire him out for the day. They also helped with his allergy meds and even brought him back home to me after my long flight. Definitely felt comfortable 100% of the time my pup was with them! Will book again!”


16. Stephanie K.

“Highly recommended! Stephanie is a true dog lover and my dog Lulu felt her energy and got comfortable immediately. Great communications. Through the photos she sent me daily, it was beautiful to see they bonded and made me relieved to know Lulu was taken care.”


17. Danielle & Andres M.

“Danielle and Andres are wonderful with our dog Hank. We just left him with them for 9 days. Hank was happy to see us but I think a little disappointed he had to leave. I would highly recommend Danielle and Andres.”


18. Marissa F.

“I first met with Marissa for a meet and greet to introduce her to my 7-lb. Morkie named, Maggie. After meeting her, I felt like I could go on an international vacation and feel confident about leaving Maggie with her. I knew Maggie would be loved and well cared for. Marissa provided me with daily updates and photographs. She addressed all of my concerns thru regular text messages. I highly recommend her!”


19. Tsan Yin L.

“I shared with Tsan how Ruby struggles a bit the first day to get acclimated and she quickly made sure Ruby felt at home and comforted from the moment she arrived. I would get daily updates on how Ruby was doing and seeing her pictures and knowing she was eating and playing, I knew she was happy and comfortable. I will definitely ask Tsan to watch Ruby again in the future.”


20. Yao Y.

“Yao is very nice and communicative. Friendly and patient with our Teddy, who is still a very energetic puppy. Yao and his wife took great care, would recommend to our dog owner friends.”
