“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“Colleen and Joe were so wonderful to our little guy. He was with them for an extended stay while we were out of the country and they sent daily updates and photos, which really put us at ease. When we picked him up, we could tell he loved his stay with them and was right at home. We know Dezi can’t wait for future visits with his new friends.”
“Lauren and Michael were wonderful! They watched one of our dogs before and he had a great time with them, they are so attentive and send lots of updates with pictures! They were great with our new dog too, who is toothless and wears belly bands. I will definitely be booking them again!”
“Kiya is absolutely great! They took amazing care of our pup, Abby, sending daily updates with photos and ensuring they got plenty of exercise and cuddles. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Erin was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while we were gone. Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!”
“María was great, not only I felt confident that she was taking good care of Guapo but also I knew that he was in a loving home while we were away; she sent several pictures, kept us up to date and was very flexible to update our reservation when our flight got delayed. We will for sure be reaching out to Maria for future dog sitting requests. 🐾”
“Best dog sitter ever! My two dogs loved their time here. She took them to the dog park plenty of times, reached out with concerns and provided pictures and videos. I would love to leave them with her anytime I need to!”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“I highly recommend Betsy. She’s very communicative and responsive and in a great neighborhood. My dog is reactive and has a medication condition and Betsy took great care of her.”
“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“Lydia was great! We looked forward to our daily photos of Gal having fun in the yard or with friends. Gal looked happy to be at her own hotel while we were at ours. Lydia was also so kind to do a meet and greet before we accepted the Rover request. Thank you Lydia! We’ll be reaching out again for sure!”
“Martha and Eric are truly perfect Rover sitters. They have a fenced in yard, Eric works from home, and you can tell that they both love dogs. Our dog Ruby stayed with them for the first time for five nights. We received regular updates, photos, and videos and knew consistently that she was getting the best care. Ruby had so much fun here we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home with us.”
“Good communication and friendly. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. He also spent time with two kids in the house, and they were very respectful of him; playing and loving on him.”
“She was great. My dogs were well looked after and she kept me updated with pictures during their entire stay. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“My dogs had such a wonderful time with Tristan and his family. It is rare that I don’t worry about how my dogs are doing while away on travel. It was clear from the pictures of my dogs that they were having a great time and were very comfortable with Tristan! I will be booking again in the future!”
“Rachel was very gracious to accommodate us on short notice. She provided updates and pictures during our dog's stay. Our dog easily took to her, and it was clear they both had a good time.”
“I have never seen our dog so happy and relaxed picking her up after dog sitting. Alyson and her family were incredibly welcoming and from the moment we met her we could tell our dog just “clicked” with her. Highly recommend!”
“McKenzie took great care of our dog, Lulu! Our dog is shy and she alleviated any stress we had leaving her. She was accommodating to her medications and helped her make some new doggie friends. We will definitely use her again!”
Downtown East dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lefty stayed with Sabrina for 3 nights while we were out of state. She sent pictures and an update once or twice a day. Lefty was Sabrina’s priority while he was there. They took several walks a day, played ball in the fenced back yard, and went to the dog park. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ROVER PROVIDER!!
This was our first Rover experience, and Deneen did an outstanding job!! She and her husband took amazing care of our dog Stanley. He got lots of walks, and was cuddled and cared for everyday! Deneen also sent lots of photos, which was so reassuring while we were away. Can’t say enough what a great job she did, and how diligent she was about checking off all of Stanley’s needs to make sure she was prepared for a great week!
10/10 pet sitter. Celia keeps her place very clean and it smells good. You can tell she is a good person who cares for each animal under her care and she was very responsive through messaging, and gave consistent and great updates on my pets stay. I'd trust her with my dog again and again, who I care DEEPLY for - so if you're someone who wants the best for their pet and to be at ease while you're away, pick Celia.
Carmen was incredible with my puppy! She was so flexible in terms of the schedule to accommodate my travel times. Her communication was top notch throughout the boarding period. She sent great pics and I felt so comfortable knowing that he was in such great hands. I am so thankful for the outstanding care she provided. I will 100% reach out again to Carmen when I travel. A++++++
Dory had a great time with Al this weekend! We were hunting for a new Rover friend for our girl for a bit and it turned into a last minute request which Al accommodated easily - she's used to her own yard and space, but enjoyed her couch time and Loring Park walks with Al - so many things to sniff!! We'll definitely contact him again.
