“Scarlett was so well taken care of and Brooke was very good about sending daily updates! I highly recommend and will most definitely be returning customers when we are in the area again.”

“Jackie was wonderful with both of our dogs. Sent pictures a couple times a day and always kept us in the loop. Would definitely recommend her care to friends & family. Thanks Jackie!!”

“Huaquig was truly the best! She took the best care of our pup Dante. She took him on walks, played fetch with him and sent updates and pictures. We’re happy to have found someone that takes care of our pup with the same care that we do. Dante will be back!”

“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Eric! The communication was incredible—updates everyday, along with adorable photos and videos. Oliver even had his very first modeling photoshoot with Eric. It just showed how much care and attention he was giving to Oliver! He truly went avice and beyond. Eric gave so much attention and patience to Oliver as a puppy. I am truly grateful! This was an incredible pet-sitting experience! Oliver was in the absolute best hands. I highly recommend Eric!!! THANK YOU for taking such great care of my boy!!!”


“Pamela is an amazing and caring dog sitter. We have had our furbaby stay with Pamela numerous times and have no hesitation in booking with her again.”

“Catherine was great. She gave extra attention to my pup, had excellent communication, and the walks were a bonus too. Look forward to Catherine boarding my dog again!”
“Tracy was fantastic with our pugs when we were out of town for the holidays! She was responsive, flexible, and our pups had a great time. She sent us pictures each day, was very understanding with all the flight delays we had, and was really good about answering all of our questions. I definitely recommend Tracy and we plan on using her in the future ? THANK YOU!!”

“Where do I start! From the very beginning Ezra was very communicative. Drop off/pick up was easy. The space is comfy for the pups with lots of outdoor area. The pups enjoyed their walks, meal times, and play time. We left our 3 dogs there for two weeks while we were out of the country and didn’t have a single concern. They’re my first choice for my next dog sitting need.”

“Anna was a super star and exceeded our expectations in every way! We were traveling for a week and were about to leave our dogs at a general boarding facility when we decided to check Rover one more time - we are so glad we did! Each day we looked forward to receiving updates and images from Anna. We couldn’t be more appreciative for Anna’s love and care for our doggos, it meant the world they got to stay at such an amazing home!”


“I am so very pleased with Kelly and Dahl! Everyday I received pictures and videos so it was great to see she was getting along nicely! I for sure will be booking again for all of my needs!”
“Briana is the ideal dog sitter! Big backyard, doesn’t take more than 1 or 2 dogs at a time, sends photos and videos, took our dog on daily walks, and such a good communicator. 100% will use again.”

“Rocky enjoyed his stay with Ash and I felt very comfortable with her services due to her communication throughout the stay. It was nice to know he was with other dogs to help keep him company. I’d recommend Ash to anyone looking for a pet sitter for your fur baby. Thanks, Ash, I really appreciate it.”
“Maria was super responsive and I really appreciated how much she cared for our boy's wellbeing, as well as making sure he didn't fall into any bad habits that we've been trying to curb at home. Our boy tends to have a bit of anxiety at new homes, but he seemed to have settled in relatively quickly thanks to Maria, and he came home a happy boy!”


“I left Whiskey for the first time with a dog-sitter and I could not have been happier with our experience with Kim. She was so kind with my boy, sent me the best updates and pictures, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. She watched out for his eating and played all his favorite games with him. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further, you’ve found the best there is. I will be reaching out to Kim any time I need to leave Whiskey in the future!”

“My pup loves being with Samantha and her kids! I don’t worry once about him as I knew he was well cared for and loved. She lives in a beautiful area and welcomed my dog in with open arms. She will define my go to for pet sitting!”

“Erica was great with Phoebe and did a great job updating me every day. And she was super accommodating to adjustments to my schedule. Definitely will book with her again!”

“We have booked with Gabriela many times and she has always been amazing. In addition to being great with our dog, she has been very communicative, managed giving our dog pills, and overall very easy to work with. A few times we have had to amend our pick up times due to flight changes and she has always been gracious and accommodating. We would highly recommend her.”

“Heather was so wonderful and patient with my dog, who can act out a little when I'm not there! She went above and beyond by giving my dog a bath, washing her bed, getting her a little kennel to stay in, and taking pictures everyday to let me know how my dog was doing! Heather was flexible with timing as well, which was necessary because my flight back into town kept getting delayed! She was an excellent resources to have in Scottsdale for when I needed someone to watch my dog and I would highly recommend!”

East Rio dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke and her family are so great! She was awesome communicating while I was gone. I could tell from the photos sent & they way my dogs were acting when I picked them up that they were very well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking with her if they're available next time

First experience using Rover! Best experience ever! Our worries and/or concerns were immediately removed after dropping Chief off, through Karen's extraordinary efforts keeping us informed via pictures, videos and messages beginning within 10 minutes of dropping Chief off with her. Normally Chief fails to eat during travel days/boarding, but easily ate two meals that day and one in the morning. His playful and very hyper spirit remained the entire time he stayed with Karen, and one could argue he was upset leaving, haha. Needless to say, we will definitely be requesting Karen the next time we are in the area! Thanks again Karen for your love and attention with our baby Chief!

Rebecca was great! I truly believe I picked the best person for my pup. He is older in age (not quite a senior, but it’s coming up!) and he is extremely timid and can come off a little aggressive - but I assure you he’s not. Rebecca learned that very quickly! He tries to be a big man when meeting new people, but she softened him up quick! My boy will barely eat anything while I’m gone, but she made sure he had snacks and treats during his hunger strike! She sent me photos and videos every day, giving me updates on how he was doing. Which I absolutely loved getting to see him warm up to her quickly! Once she began petting him, it was a done deal. There was no turning back from that, he was already set on her attention (because he’s already used to being spoiled with being pet constantly by me). She took videos of them going on walks together, showing how comfortable and excited he was. Photos of him picking “his spot” to lay. She even mentioned he snuggled with her which tells me A LOT about her! I did ask before hand if she wouldn’t mind brushing him out with a deshedder for a bit every day because he is a big, full bred German Shepard, so he SHEDS. She was more than happy to take on the task, which is a monster of a task, because I don’t even know where all the hair comes from every day that I brush him! When he came home, he looked happy and he definitely looked like he had been getting brushed out pretty well as he was silky smooth looking. She loved him! I was almost afraid I wouldn’t get my dog back because she was more than happy to offer to spend more time with him if I needed it (I’m kidding, she definitely gave my boy back lol) but I now know who I can take him to where he is comfortable and happy instead of constantly stressed. And I know I’ll get photos and updates because I never have been without him for too long, so that was a big relief. I can’t be happier with choosing Rebecca to take care of my special, timid boy. I felt like he was safe, loved, and taken care of. I would truly 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. Big dogs, older dogs, reactive dogs, timid dogs, or dogs that take comfort in being around their owner. Because that is exactly my boy and she did a wonderful job! Next time I need a sitter, I’ll definitely be returning! DO NOT MISS OUT ON A SITTER WHO WILL LOVE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABY! She’s worth it!

I can’t say enough good things about the Nancy (can I give her 10 stars?)! I had a last minute need for someone to watch my 6 month old Cavalier (Koda) and was so lucky to find her. She went above and beyond in every way. Koda didn’t just get taken care of—he had an actual vacation. She took him on walks, explored Old Town with him, brought him on a hike, and even to a brewery. Every day I’d get tons of updates and truly incredible photos—Koda looked like he was having the time of his life. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands made my week so much less stressful. When I picked him up, he was honestly sad to leave her (I don’t blame him!). If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and keep them entertained and loved, you’ve found her. I’m hoping she’ll be up for hanging with Koda again very soon—he already misses her!

Nothing but good things can be said about Gabriela! This is my second time booking her services and I could not feel more confident or content while I am out of town! She is very good about sending updates and keeping me at ease with my furbaby. 10/10 will be booming again!
