“Carrie was "EXCELLENT"! She made us feel at ease when we dropped off Bella. She was very sweet and kind. She gave us a very good vibe and we felt confident our Bella was going to be okay with her. She sent us pics and videos of Bella while was under her care and we could see Bella being herself and that gave us peace of mind. We will definitely will be returning customers in the future. We were extremely satisfied with her service. Thank you! Eva”
“I cannot say enough good things about Irina. While I was on vacation, one of my dogs developed a ruptured cyst (from what I later realized was caused by a small nip from my other pup who got angry at him the day I dropped them off with Irina). This could have been an extremely stressful and scary situation but Irina handled it with absolute professionalism, compassion, and care. Not only did she notice it immediately, send pictures, and communicate every step of the way, she also took my dog to our veterinary hospital on a Sunday to make sure he was properly diagnosed and treated. With her veterinary degree, she clearly knew how to manage the situation, and assure me Ralphy was doing okay and it was treatable (which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of the Country). On top of this she kept me updated on both dogs, and sent lots of pictures and videos. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so caring, knowledgeable, and reliable to watch my 2 Senior Dogs. I recommend Irina wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a pet sitter who treats your pets as if they were their own.”
“My dog was very comfortable with Rekha. My dog is usually very nervous and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Rekha and her family are very nice people and I would recommend her dogsitting to anyone.”
“Briana did an amazing job caring for our 10 month old puppy on our wedding weekend! It was her first time away from us, and although we were initially anxious, those fears were soothed quickly with the many updates and photos we received! We will definitely be booking again whenever we need a sitter! ❤️”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“Annie is amazing. She was so good with Aries. I absolutely loved the daily updates about what he did for the day. We definitely will be boarding with her again and we highly recommend her services. She treated our puppy so well!!”
“Kirsten was absolutely wonderful and Archie had a great time exploring her home. She kept us informed and provided pictures of our boy so we knew he was okay. Archie can't wait to be back. Thank you, Kirsten!”
“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Sheri left me feeling reassured! I haven't used Rover as an owner but provider services as a sitter. Before I could even get home, she had sent a video update. She let us know how Fefe was doing and sent photos.”
“Kenia was great with our dog and took him to the park a couple times per day, which he loves. Kenia was very easy to communicate with on pick up and drop off.”
“This was my first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and Qiana was amazing. She gave us daily updates of the pups and made sure to have playtime with them as well. Would absolutely book her again in the future.”

“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“Cole M. gave our senior Chihuahua, Lily, exceptional care by providing adequate space to play/explore, feeding her, and keeping her safe while walking her. Lily seemed to feel at ease with Cole and the other 3 puppies/dog. Lily like her new friends, and we enjoyed trusting Cole with our dog. Lily stayed in Cole's loving care from Sat., 6/1 to Sun., 6/2. We plan on utilizing Rover.com to book some future dates with Cole as our dog sitter. Thanks again Cole M. ~Prof. Keith & Roz H.”
“We boarded our 9 month old pup for the first time with Denise. She is absolutely amazing! We were super nervous leaving her and wanted to try a more personal boarding experience. Denise did not disappoint. She sent frequent pics & videos of our girl. We could tell she was having a ball & getting so much love & attention from Denise & her family. We will definitely be using her for all of our future boarding needs!”
“Aki took care of our dog, Jack, very well. He got walk, sun bathing, and we got a lot of pictures from her. We tried the other sitter too, and I trust Aki more. Definitely would book her again next time.”
“My mother in-law passed away and we needed someone to take care of our fur babies on short notice while we were out of the country for the funeral and Davinderjit came to the rescue. We had a meet and greet before the day we have to leave and Baloo immediately felt at home. While we were gone, we were updated of how Baloo was doing and sent us photos of the silly baby. Being away from the country we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We have a planned trip in September and we have already considered Davinderjit to take care of Baloo while we are gone. We highly recommend Davinderjit for boarding services and we’ll definitely will use her again when the need arises.”

I cannot recommend Anais enough! I needed a pet sitter while I was out of the country for a wedding, and from the very beginning, Anais was absolutely amazing. Her communication was outstanding—she was always quick to respond, professional, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay. What truly impressed me was how accommodating she was. My travel plans ended up changing, and I needed to extend my dog’s stay and make adjustments to pickup times due to unexpected delays. Anais was incredibly flexible, understanding, and willing to work with me every step of the way. She also sent plenty of photos and updates, which meant so much to me while I was away. It was clear that my dog was being well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, professional, and genuinely caring, Anais is the person you want watching your pet. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and she will absolutely be my first choice for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Anais, for taking such wonderful care of my dog and for going above and beyond. Five stars isn’t enough!
We had a wonderful experience with Diane! She took excellent care of my dog and treated him like family. She was dependable, compassionate, and kept us informed, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dog was happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone seeking someone trustworthy and caring for their pets! Highly recommend her. ♥️
Ana took wonderful care of my dog! She made sure my dog was less anxious on his first night by keeping him company on the couch. And, she was very flexible when I had to add an extra day to the booking at the last minute. Ana went above & beyond and I highly recommend her!!
Irene and her family were beyond fabulous. First time using Rover and wow did we luck out by finding this family. Irene was a vet tech before becoming a stay at home mom which made me feel very comfortable since our dog is a diabetic and needs insulin injections twice a day. But after meeting her and her family, her experience didn’t even matter because I could see the love. She sent me texts every morning and evening with adorable pictures of their little one and my dog. I almost felt jealous!!! I absolutely recommend this family to watch your pet, whatever your needs may be. You’ll be lucky to have them!!!
I had my dog stayed with Rekha for a couple nights and I felt like they tried their best to make my dog as comfortable as possible. It was his first time staying with a sitter and she made the transition so easy and made my worries go away. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others!
Sherifat was absolutely amazing! Her communication was top-tier from start to finish. She was able to take my dog last minute right after his neutering surgery, which I truly appreciated. I had a trip already booked, and my dog had been waitlisted for months for this surgery—so when they finally reached out with an appointment, I didn’t want to miss it, but I also couldn’t cancel my trip. I found Sherifat on Rover and was immediately drawn to all her great reviews—and now I completely understand why! While I was away, she kept me updated with messages and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It made the whole experience stress-free and easy. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their fur baby—Jet loved her! Thanks Sherifat!
Excellent experience and highly recommended. I used Ms Maozhi's service on December 30, 2025 to January 3 2026. Our pet was well taken cared of. Ms Maozhi treated our Coco like her very own. We got daily updates and photos of Coco. Will definitely use her service in the future.
12/10 - I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone new after just moving to the area. Rachel took incredible care of my dog and helped her warm up a little more to her and dog each day. She’s also really easy to communicate with and gave my dog tons of love and attention and even sent pics. Absolutely my go to dog sitter moving forward.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with June! Our pup has a lot of anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving him. From the very beginning, June took our concerns to heart and made sure Ollie felt safe and cared for. She sent us daily updates with pictures and thoughtful notes that reassured us and helped us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she truly listened to what Ollie needed and adjusted her care with patience and compassion. Her attentiveness and calm presence gave us so much peace of mind, and we are so grateful to have found someone nearby who we can trust with Ollie. Thank you, June, for going above and beyond with your amazing dog-sitting abilities. We can’t recommend you highly enough!
Timothy is a good natured caregiver for your dogs. He has three large dogs of his own and keeps a close eye on the dynamics between the dogs in order to maximise their comfort. I left my dog 50-pound pit bull with Timothy for three days and I’m pretty sure Bruno had fun. He’s used to being mostly by himself in his own backyard. But Timothy has a doggie door that’s big enough for Bruno to have the freedom to be outside, plus the other dogs are there. I think it was never a dull moment for Bruno.
Again I have left Mochi with Wendy and AJ. They always spoil Mochi with attention and a LOT of cuddling. She LOVES going to their house!! I never worry about her and therefore I enjoy my time away!! I almost forget I have a dog!! lol Wendy and AJ have been very flexible with drop off/pick up times....I have decided to leave earlier and/or had flights delayed . They have been very accommodating with my time frames!! Definitely one of the BEST dog sitters!!
