“Reginay was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Kobe and sent photos and videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Kobe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would definitely book with her again!”
“Achara was Phenomenal. I cannot express the amount of gratitude and relief I feel boarding my dog with her. I received constant updates and pictures while I was out of town and tips since her dog is the same breed. She socialized my dog and I cannot tell you the amount of peace I felt knowing he was in great hands. I would HIGHLY recommend Achara and she really does go above and beyond!”
“This was my 1st time booking care for my pet cat. We are having issues with our AC and when I have to be at work and it's 107°, cat needed safe place indoors. Grisel gave me peace of mind from the initial inquiry (daycare and potential overnight boarding) until the last moment saying our goodbyes. I was nervous being new, but she was completely professional, respectful and patient. her helpful relative was also so attentive to my shy babe. Communication was 100% as was the set up and the care. Obviously would return and would recommend!”
“We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone he'd never met. Now we're so happy we chose Kesson for his boarding services. We received regular updates with photos and video. Our dog had a great time and a way better experience than if he were in a kennel. I will definitely be referring Kesson and booking again!”
“Debra has been Buddy's sitter the last few times we've gone out of town and he LOVES being with her and her Buddy. He remembers as soon as we get to the door and forgets to even say goodbye! We are so glad we found her.”
“Alexandra was great with my dog. I needed a last minute boarding for Apollo and she was able to take him in. She is quick to respond. Very professional and knows how to handle my teenage boy, Apollo.”
“I'm 58 years old, no kids and Lucy is my first dog. We are inseparable and I'm probably overly protective but I had never left her with anyone until I left her overnight with Persia. Persia was so kind and understood my anxieties about leaving Lucy for the first time. She called me to ease my concerns. She lives in a charming, quiet neighborhood and also has a wonderful fenced backyard and a dog park nearby. She only had her own dog Thursday (so cute and sweet) and one other dog besides Lucy which gave me comfort as well. Further, without going into details Persia helped me with something after I dropped off Lucy that went above and beyond and I'm forever grateful to her. During Lucy's stay Persia sent pictures periodically to let me know my fur baby was happy and in good hands. Also, Persia has a very calming presence which sets the tone in her home for visitors (ie our dogs). I recommend Persia if you're seeking a sitter for your fur baby. Thank you Persia ?”
“Katherine and Brulee welcomed our dog Moxie with open arms. I was glad to leave my dog with an experienced dog owner and their well behaved dog. Katherine did a great job meeting Moxie's needs with the added benefit of having a spacious backyard. Moxie was in good hands and we appreciate the help. Will definitely book again!”
“Jennifer was awesome as always! I trust my pet baby with her. This is his 3rd visit with her. This was his second overnight stay, this stay was for two days. My boy is blind, takes insulin shots twice a day, a very old senior. I always worry about him when I’m away, but with Jennifer I can relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you Jennifer. 🥰”
“Bari and Sonny took incredible care of Pechey! I got the sweetest updates and photos while I was gone. Pechey was so happy and content when I got back. She had a blast and I felt so relaxed knowing how well cared for she was. Thank you!!!”
“Kashay was an incredible caregiver for our dog, Al. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt loved and cared for in our absence. Kashay recognized that I was nervous and made sure to send constant communications and cute pictures - by day two, my worries were gone and I was confident that our Al was in great hands. She even gave Al a bath, so he came home nice and shiny. I would definitely book with Kashay again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Martha as our dog sitter! She was incredibly flexible with the booking process, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Throughout our time away, she sent regular updates and photos of our puppy, which we really appreciated. Martha also took him on walks and gave him lots of attention and care. He came home happy and relaxed. We could tell she truly loves animals. Would I recommend her to others? Absolutely, without hesitation!”
“Kirsten & Jake were absolutely great with our 2 10-month old boxers! They sent lots of pictures helping this over-protective mom (me) to feel they were safe and secure. They went above and beyond and were very conscientious, checking in if there were any questions. Milo & Maggie are looking forward to staying with their new friends again, and I highly recommend them.”
“Thank you Demi! We had a last minute need for a sitter and Demi saved the day. She even fit in a meet and greet so we could make sure it was a good fit. This helped us feel so much more at ease. We got daily updates and photos and were so grateful to see Khrush was made to feel right at home. We will definitely book with Demi again! Also, our pup came home very tired… which any Aussie parent can appreciate. Ha!”
“Tarah is the Best!! Annie was very happy and comfortable. Tarah kept us updated on how Annie was doing thru out her stay. Annie has found a new friend and we are so happy with her love and care for animals. 🐶❤️”
“Michelle and James were absolutely incredible!! I am so so thankful to have found them to watch my sweet girl. I have never had to leave her by herself before but Michelle was so amazing at reassuring me and they both did so amazing at sending pictures and keeping me up to date with how things were going. I will ABSOLUTELY be rebooking with them any time I need to travel. Nessa seemed so relaxed, happy, and healthy when I picked her up. She seemed to have felt like part of the family and it made me so happy to know she was comfortable and safe.”
“Michael is an amazing sitter! He is very attentive to my energetic husky. They have lots of play time and go on walks throughout the day. I especially like that Michael sends me a lot of pictures throughout the stay. It helps put me at ease that my pup is well taken care of and comfortable in Michael’s home.”
“Sabrina was amazing & treated our dog like her own. She was very communicative and flexible as well. She went as far as giving our dog an epsom salt paw soak (omg so sweet that she took the time). We will be booking her again over and over again.”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Demetra was a lifesaver after a last-minute cancellation of another sitter. Demetra was prompt, thoughtful, and flexible, and even arranged a meet and greet on short notice, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, my pup seemed to have a great time playing with her dogs!
Stephen was absolutely amazing with Finn and Otis! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. He sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how they were doing, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It’s clear he genuinely loves and understands dogs—both Finn and Otis came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with Stephen again for future trips. Highly recommend!
This was my first time using Rover, I did a few meet & greets and felt right away that Michelle & James are very kind and great with animals. I had a wonderful experience dropping off and picking up. They sent me updates and pics daily. I felt peace of mind while on vacation that my two dogs were well cared for and got plenty of attention. I will definitely use them again!
Katherine and Brulee welcomed our dog Moxie with open arms. I was glad to leave my dog with an experienced dog owner and their well behaved dog. Katherine did a great job meeting Moxie's needs with the added benefit of having a spacious backyard. Moxie was in good hands and we appreciate the help. Will definitely book again!
Noelle had great communication the whole time Holly was staying. She sent cute pictures each day, and Holly seemed totally relaxed at her place. Holly was wagging her tail like crazy at pick-up time, and I wonder if she even wanted to come home with me. 😆 Will definitely use Noelle in the future for watching Holly.
Danielle is the best! She is friendly, kind & hospitable. We did a meet & greet a few days before my dog’s scheduled drop off. She welcomed us in her home with her dog and we got acquainted. Her home is cute and comfortable. Danielle was a great communicator and even sent me a couple of photos during my dogs stay with her which helped alleviate some of my kids apprehension about our dog being with a new sitter. I know my dog was under the best of care and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. 💕
