“Betsy took wonderful care of Apollo! I received multiple updates and photos daily of Apollo and he cozied up to Betsy just like he does with me. It was so nice to know Apollo was being so well taken care of! Thank you Betsy!!!”
“Thank you Eric and Martha for taking my pup in with such joy and enthusiasm! He wouldn’t stop talking on the car ride home about all the fun things he did with you, picking up sticks, recycling cardboard boxes, and getting extra treats. Keep up the great job!”
“Jacquie & Kyle were wonderful with our pup!! He got so much exercise and had a ton of fun every day! Always hard to leave our dog but we knew he was in good hands!”
“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. 🐾”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

“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.”

Maaya loved her time there with lots of walks and made herself right at home. We’d love to have Tracey watch Maaya again.”
“Alex was AMAZING. He was so gracious and able to watch Chuck last-minute for me. Chuck had a blast getting plenty of walks and spending time at the dog park with Alex. 100% would book again!”
Downtown West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kevin was absolutely amazing with Karma! She stayed with him for a full week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Kevin’s communication was excellent — consistent updates, responsiveness, and genuine care that gave me total peace of mind. Karma was welcomed into his home like part of the family. His dog and cat were incredibly friendly and got along wonderfully with her, which made the stay even better. It was clear that Kevin and his family truly love animals and treat them as their own. I’m extremely grateful for the care, attention, and kindness Kevin showed Karma. I will 100% be using his services again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter. Thank you so much, Kevin!
Kaitlin watched our Newfie and Bulldog in her home for about two weeks while we were on vacation. I felt very comfortable with them there and didn’t have to worry about them at all. Kaitlin is great with communication, updates, and pics/videos. Our bulldog has a skin/ear regimen and Kaitlin followed those instructions. She was very understanding on the first day when our bulldog had a reaction to her cleaning an ear that is sensitive. I feel like Kaitlin understands dog behavior and that really is another layer of reassurance. Highly recommend Kaitlin and would not hesitate to book with her again!
Brian is such a reliable, responsible, kind and caring dog sitter! Our dog absolutely loves both Brian and Brian's dog, and has so much fun playing with her (and we love getting lots of pictures and videos each day of them playing together! She is so patient with our energetic puppy.). The daily updates from Brian help us feel so comfortable and confident that our dog is not only well cared for and safe, but having tons of fun when we're gone! Can't recommend Brian highly enough!
