“Achara took care of my little man for a couple days when I went out of town. She sent me updates throughout his stay, with pictures. It seemed like he had a great stay with her family and their dogs. I appreciate everything Achara did for me and the little pup!”

“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!”

“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”

“Roy was incredible. 5 stars isn't enough! I panicked when our dog sitter cancelled the morning we were supposed to leave for our family vacation but luckily we found Roy. Our dog can be a bit of a handful. This was our first time going away and leaving our dog with someone so I was a little nervous but I would leave our dog with Roy any day. I can't even put into words our gratitude.”

“Amazing person and dog lover! Would highly recommend working with Alexandra, she took care of our dogs and made us/them feel comfortable. It’s very tough to leave your dogs with someone new, but she made the whole process easy!”

“I’ve booked with Joel over 5 times now and I have nothing but positive things to say about him and how he has taken care of my dog, Cleo. He is so communicative and responds in such a timely manner – and is so flexible! I work a full-time job and travel for work and even if I have to pick her up pretty late in the evening, he is so cool about this and all I have to do is shoot him a quick text. He sends pictures and videos and keeps me posted on how the pup is doing when she’s there which is so nice. He is so kind and I can tell he really cares about what he does for his dogs. He takes her out walking a lot and feeds her correctly and plays with her a lot! When I pick her up she’s always tired (which is good). That way I know he was really trying to keep her engaged. Joel is definitely the best sitter I’ve ever booked with on this app. He’s so accommodating! Would HIGHLY recommend booking with him. My dog gets so happy when she sees him too because she knows she’s going to have an awesome time. He also treats her things so well, whenever I pick her up he always folds her blanket and places the things in her bag neatly. He rocks! 100000/10.”
“We were so pleased with our experience working with Jennifer! Our dog came back so happy and we could tell she was definitely well taken care of and loved! We were nervous to leave our dog over NYE with all of the fireworks but Jennifer did an excellent job of helping her to feel comfortable. She also provided great daily updates. So happy to have found her and will definitely look to her again for future stays.”

“We highly recommend Grisel to care for your dog. She took excellent care of our 15 year old dog Lexxie for 44 consecutive days while my husband under went a transplant at Stanford. Because of Lexxie’s age she is on medications for her kidneys & liver in addition to a special diet. Grisel followed instructions in all aspects of Lexxie’s care even taking her to have her monthly visit to have her nails trimmed and contacting us when she needed to see the Vet for a possible eye infection. Because of an old leg injury Lexxie could not take long walks with the other dogs Grisel cared for, so, Grisel borrowed a wagon to place her in to enjoy “walking “ with the other dogs. We plan to schedule some doggie day care days with Grisel so that Lexxie can maintain the friendships she made.”


“Demetra and her husband were the BEST dog sitters. Our anxious dog fell in love with them and their two dogs. They were excellent at communication and sent daily updates with photos and video. We will definitely be asking them to pet-sit again and I enthusiastically recommend them.”

“Janessa took great care of my cat for two weeks! Really appreciated the photo updates she sent and included some of them cuddling which made me feel great about how comfortable she made my kitty 😸”

“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.”

“This was my first time using the Rover application, and was a little worried about how this was all going to go down. I am so grateful for Brandee being part of the Rover team, she did a great job introducing me to pet-care away from home. I was visiting the Sacremento area with my dog, and though I found a pet friendly hotel my last day of packing up and cleaning to go home I’m I thought to let Romeo enjoy some time away from that hustle/bustle. Brandee had a reasonable quote, was understanding of me being a bit motherly for being away from my dog for the first time and updated me about his stay in the process. I got everything I needed to cleaned up and picked him up on our way back home and I am so happy with the whole process! Thank you so much Brandee for taking such great care of my Romeo 🐾”

“My little dogs have always stayed with family or a trusted neighborhood sitter, but when no one was available for an overnight, we were happy to find Bari. My pups were happy with the combo of activities (walks, a dog park visit) and relaxing on Bari’s couch. My 10 year old mini schnauzer has a bit of separation anxiety, but she, as well as my schnoodle, had no problem making themselves at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with Bari again.”

“Diane was fantastic! She was super attentive and kept us updated throughout Milo’s stay. He clearly felt comfortable and came home happy and relaxed. We’re so glad to have found someone so reliable and caring. Would definitely book again!”

“Second stay with Danielle! Ruby loves her! Danielle and Gabe took great care of my Great Dane and they both were very flexible with drop off/pick up time. I feel lucky I found them. I always get picture updates and Ruby is always happy to stay with them and their fur kids ❤️”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Absolutely amazing dog sitter. I had trouble with my flights and she didn’t hesitate to rework the plan. No stress great communication and care. Not only did she walk my dogs she took them to the park and to the lake. While I was at a wedding my dogs had the vacation of a lifetime. Would highly recommend. Can’t say enough good things!!”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Patty was so sweet and you can tell she really loves animals, and has a lot of experience caring for them. She was very friendly to us and to Mitzi. Mitzi loved Patty immediately. Patty sent pics and updates throughout the week and was very responsive. Mitzi had a great vacation and made some new friends. I would absolutely recommend Patty for your pet sitting needs.
I give Christopher a 5 out of 5 Star Review. Rover is a new experience for myself and my pup. Christopher provided top notch care and service to my pup, throughout my pups stay by providing pictures, videos, and updates re-assuring me that my pup was in a caring and safe enviornment and much more. I couldn't of asked for better results from Chris, hands down. I would definitely choose Christopher again, your pup is in good hands! T

I was so happy with Pixie staying at Victoria and Melody's home, I received pictures daily of her with the other doggies and going on walks. Pixie usually is not very comfortable among other dogs but she got on so well with them and was very calm and relaxed. The hosts also loved my Pixie and gave her a lot of cuddles. I would definitely love to book Pixie with them again.

Allyson was absolutely amazing. We would trust her to take care of our little guy any day. We were away for almost a week and our dog ended up needing urgent medical attention while we were gone. Allyson went above and beyond to get him the care he needs, give his medications, take care of him while he recovered, and all the while keeping us informed with clear communication. It’s so clear how much our dog loves her and feels so comfortable with her. One of the best dog sitters we have ever had!

Kevin and Didi always return home happy relaxed, and so well taken care of. Time with Katherine is something they look forward to and they always get excited when they know that we’ve pulled up to her house. Thanks Katherine for always making it easy and wonderful for us and our fur babies.
