“Akari & Alec were the perfect people for us to leave our sweet doggy with, especially for the first time leaving her. Multiple updates, walks, treats and affection. Basically treating her as their own. We could not ask for anything more. Thanks to these two for making our weekend just that much more relaxing!”
“I just adopted my dog a month ago and this was my first time leaving him since I brought him home. Until now we hadn’t been apart more than a day while I’m at work. I was super super nervous and nearly cried when I left him, but Yuhan made the process easy and positive. She sent me pictures of him every other day and gave me tons of updates on how he was doing. He got to play with a bunch of other dogs and looked super happy in all the pictures she sent me. I’m way more comfortable leaving him now and I’ll definitely be looking to rebook with Yuhan again. He got to go on a vacation of his own and seemed to have tons of fun while in her care.”
“Tracy and Ivy really hit it off - and sent me lots of photos and updates while I was away. I’ll definitely call them again when I’m traveling! 😊”
““Victoria and Chris were amazing sitters for Mabel! They took such great care of her, keeping me updated with pictures and making sure she was happy and comfortable. It’s clear they truly love dogs and treat them like family. I felt completely at ease knowing Mabel was in such good hands. Highly recommend them and will definitely book again!””
“She is amazing. Very knowledgeable about dogs and my dog adored her. She sent pictures of how my dog was doing and updates which really put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her.”
“Daniel was very comforting and super helpful in making this experience easy and smooth. I felt so comfortable sending my dog to his house for the weekend because of all his great reviews. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a sitter. He sent pictures all weekend of my dog playing with Waldo which made me feel like I made the right choice. Waldo was so playful with my dog and I wasn't nervous to leave my puppy with him. My dog is small and Waldo knew exactly how to play with her. He had a fenced in backyard which was super exciting because I live in an apartment, so my dog had tons of space to run around. I am so happy to find a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Daniel!”
“Midge was well taken care of and really enjoyed her stay with Jennifer. The fully fenced back yard was a big hit as Midge was able to be let off lease!!”
“Corinne is wonderful! My dog Ollie has a lot of energy, and Corinne and her dog Roxy were a perfect match for him. Corinne sent pictures every day and made me feel really comfortable with the whole experience. Her home and fenced yard felt safe and cozy! She is flexible with drop off/pick up and responded quickly to messages. Highly recommend!”

“Mary was an incredible dog watcher! I got multiple updates throughout the day with very cute pictures included. My dog needed to take medicine on a schedule and Mary made sure to communicate each time a dose was given. I could not have asked for a better host for my fur baby! 10/10 would recommend”
“I can’t recommend Erica as a dog sitter highly enough! She took amazing care of our dog, Lacie, while we were away. From our first meeting, it was clear that Erica is a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know Lacie's personality and needs, making sure to create a comfortable and fun environment. Throughout the stay, Erica kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Lacie returned home happy and well-exercised, clearly having enjoyed her time with Erica. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she and her family provided. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, Erica is the perfect choice!”

“Mel was a fantastic pet sitter and put me completely at ease for my first time using a Rover pet sitter. Mel sent us many photos of our pup Enzo during the duration and was very easy to communicate with to coordinate pickup and dropoff times. Couldn't ask for a better experience! Thank you Mel :)”
“Snoopy had a wonderful time on his vacay with Janet! Janet spoiled him with plenty of walks during the day, lots of playtime and extra love! We knew he was having fun because Janet sent us pictures of him playing, having fun and even getting in a good afternoon nap which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation too. He can't wait for us to go on vacation again!”
“Yulia was a great host to Jillian. We had a chance to meet before hand and I could tell how much Yulia cares for animals. We received detailed updates and Yulia made sure to take extra care of our senior pup. Our flight was delayed and Yulia was very accommodating to watch Jillian an extra night.”
“First of, LyLy was available to watch Jazzy at the last minute. I needed a sitter, reached out to LyLy and she was watching Jazzy in less then 24 hours. This was Jazzy's first time being away from me and I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous at first leaving her for the weekend, but LyLy quickly put my mind at ease. She made sure to send regular videos and photos, which made all the difference. Seeing Jazzy safe and well-cared-for allowed me to relax. I’m truly grateful for LyLy’s attentiveness and care—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!"”
“Carla and her family took very good care of Obi and Padawan. They came home happy and healthy. She was communicative and easy to work with. Some other people commented on language barrier issues but I did not find this to be the case at all. I had no issues communicating with her.”
“Thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Samar! Joseph was very responsive and sent us pictures and video updates of Samar. Thank you again!”
“Georgilin is amazing! This is the first time I can travel without worrying about gummy because I knew she was on great hands. Gave me constant updates and Gummy was so happy when I picked her up! Thanks Georgilin for everything :) will definitely be rebooking with her many times in the future”
