“Whitney took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the week. She provided consistent pictures and updates throughout the week and really did put our minds at ease. We will book her again!”
“Katherine saved me with my last minute booking! She was very responsive and settled my anxieties around having my senior dog with tummy issues. She gave me updates while in my trip and was flexible when my travel plans changed! Your dog is in great hands with Katherine!”
“Zack took extra great care of my dog Busy over the holidays and would definitely him for anyone who has a dog with special needs. He is super accommodating and communicative. I’ll have him dog sit for me anytime!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”
“We felt very fortunate that Patricia took care of our 2 dogs. I would recommend her to anyone. We felt that our animals were cared for, had great communication, and an overall great experience.”
“Ashley was amazing! She took care of my two untrained puppies for almost a week. She sent updates everyday and was super communicative. I highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs. Very professional and my puppies came back better trained than when I dropped them off! I am so lucky I found her <3”
“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”
“This is the place for your pet if you are looking for a worry free time away! Maggie loves her time with Christine and Steven and we know she's safe, loved and well cared for even when we are out of cell and internet service. Maggie gets pampered with walks and play time and maybe even treats she doesn't get at home. She shows she loves being with Christine and Stevem because when we take her to them and make the last turn to their house, she gets really excited!”
“My dog Copper had such a good time during his week of boarding with Sijie and Cameron! He took to them immediately during the meet and greet, and I could tell right away I would be leaving him in the most loving, capable hands (and laps!). While I was away, I received lots and lots of pictures of their daily adventures, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. It was obvious that Copper wasn’t just being taken care of, he was having a blast and loving every minute! I came back to a happy, relaxed dog who had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking Sijie again!”
“Beverly is an outstanding sitter! Her communication was top notch, she has a warm and welcoming energy, and our dog came home tired and happy. I hope she’ll be available the next time we leave town! 🤞🏼”
“Roger That had a wonderful time with Gabe and Greta! Gabe was extremely accommodating and communicative. I got lots of great pictures showing a very happy Roger That! On our walk today, Roger That saw Gabe and Greta, and ran to see them! Tonight he tried to enter Gabe's building to see them again! It's wonderful knowing Roger That has somewhere he enjoys staying when I can't be with him. Thank you Gabe and Greta and cat!”
“I highly recommend a doggie vacay with Holly. Rikki came home seeming just like she would any day we came home. Just happy to see us. Holly was quick to respond every time we contacted her, sent plenty of photos, and accommodated Rikki's complicated meal routine. She also got to ride in the car and go to the park! Yay! Thanks, Holly! Rikki says send Avery licks! ”
“Five stars..... Dan looked after our rather unruly, young Giant Schnauzer for 5 days. Dan was clear on all communications and asked pertinent questions about how Jack interacts and any behavior issues/history prior to our arrival. He welcomed Jack immediately into his home, asked more questions about him and his routine and clarified simple house rules, which I appreciate. Dan took Jack out on a walk immediately after we left and kept him busy for the extent of the stay. We received pictures nearly daily (though short videos would be great:) but I didn’t request them and the pics we looked forward to. Jack was his happy and usual unruly self when I picked him up... I’ve already planned our next stay for Jack in Dan’s home. Dan is an easy going guy, clear and quick to reply to texts, he works at home and tolerated my dog w/ ease:)! Enough said. Thanks Dan and great work!”
“I am grateful to Keelan for his empathetic and kind care of Rosie. He was so thoughtful in approaching her health challenges and encouraging in providing her social opportunities appropriate for her timid personality. She had a most positive experience on all levels.”
“Great experience with Stephanie. She did a great job communicating and taking care of our pooch over the weekend. Very happy with her care and stay! Thanks again!”
“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Catherine and Josh were so sweet! They watched our 5 month old shih tzu Moggy for 3 days while we were out of town. It was SO hard to leave our new baby but Catherine put our minds at ease with frequent communication and pics. Moggy came home very happy! Would definitely hire again!
Emiline was so great with our dogs. We travel fulltime around the country so we’ve used Rover sitters all over the USA and she sent us more photos than any other sitter. It was clear that our dogs were very happy and well taken care of. Mango Salsa was splayed out on the bed with his legs behind him like he owned the place in one of the photos. Haha. Loved seeing that! Banana Pig is our anxious pup and we really appreciated the way she made him feel safe. In one of the photos she sent we noticed he could see where our truck had been parked during drop off and taking a walk shortly after we left to show him we have left always helps him to settle in and relax. We will absolutely book again while we’re in the area.
Abby was amazing with our husky, Sitka, who can be quite needy! She gave her tons of attention and took her on plenty of outdoor adventures- loved seeing all the photo updates! We could tell Sitka truly enjoyed her time with Abby. I especially appreciated her attentiveness to Sitka’s daily routines and specific needs the attention to detail really shows. We’d absolutely love to have Abby care for Sitka again
Kellie is by far the best sitter for Ponzu! She gave our puppy so much love. She made sure that we get a daily update on how our puppy was doing plus some cute pictures and videos update. While we were away our puppy was on a lovely vacation staying with Kellie. Thank you so much!!
Sulema and her partner did a great job dog sitting Willow! They were communicative, easy to work with, and made sure Willow felt comfortable. She got along great with their dog, which was such a bonus. I felt confident knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!
Carly was SO good with my dog. She was excellent at communicating, sending updates, and making me feel confident that he was in good hands. He ended up developing some stress induced diarrhea (from missing his mom) and she handled it like a professional. I will definitely use Carly in the future!
Lucy was fantastic with my dog during his 5-day stay! She kept me updated every day with photos and little notes, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared for him and made sure he was happy and comfortable. I also really appreciated how proactive she was with communication. It made the whole experience stress-free. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
