“We left our energetic puppy for the first time with John. John was communicative throughout Link's full stay. He sent many pictures and videos to give us peace of mind as this was Link's first time away from home. Will definitely book with John again! Thank you, John, for taking care of our Link!”

“Allison was great about sending pics and keeping us updated on how our boy was doing during his stay. I would recommend her for your pet sitting/boarding needs!”

“Annie took great care of our 15 year old chihuahua! This was our first River experience and our first lowly dog requires medication so we were a little nervous. We appreciated the updates and pictures as well as the meet and greet ahead of boarding. I cannot recommend Annie enough.”

“Jenny was wonderful with Chilli! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Chilli looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re very grateful and would be happy to use Jenny again in the future. Thank you so much!”

“I cannot explain enough how amazing the care for our pets was our cat Stella and dog Bella were treated beyond exceptionally. This was a last-minute request, and Hui immediately responded and accepted without hesitation. From the moment we left, she kept us updated with pictures and videos, making sure both pets were comfortable, cared for, and loved. We are so grateful to have found her and to know we can travel without causing stress to our pets. Truly, don’t think twice and book with her! I will definitely be rebooking very soon.”

“We left our basset hound with Skylar for a few days, and she was fantastic! She was professional, kept us updated with frequent pictures, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our pup came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Skylar to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Patti is fantastic. My pup had such a great time! Patti sent pictures and updates everyday. Louie even came home with a report card and treats. Would definitely use Patti again!”

“Tamara & her dog are my dog’s Disney World! She has such a blast when she stays with Tamara and gets to play with Tamara’s pups. We will continue to go with Tamara because we know Willa will be well taken care of.”

“Excellent host to our dog Cooper. Very responsive and sent us lots of pictures of his well being over the stay. Would highly recommend and will use again in the future.”

“Sarah took great care of my pup. I would trust her anytime to care for her again. She updated me with pictures and re assured me that she was doing just fine. Mu dog even got spoiled with daily walks! If your thinking about considering Sarah to care for your pup, I promise your pup is in good hands.”

“Araceli was amazing. Our little chase was so comfortable with her from the Begining. And the pictures and updates she sent us helped us enjoy our trip knowing he was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using her for future trips.”
“This is Watusi’s second time staying with Karen and from all of our pup-dates it seemed like she had such a wonderful staycation! She had daily walks and playtime as well as some rest and relaxation. We love how responsive and organized Karen is. We loved getting our daily updates about what they were up to. It is never easy leaving your fur baby behind when you travel but Karen puts us at ease. We will definitely be booking again when it is time for our next adventure. Watusi is looking forward to it! Thanks Karen!”


“Our Christmas wish is always answered! If we leave our babies (two 13 yo dachshunds) behind, we want someone to care for them and cuddle with them — and that someone is Katy (and her sweet girls)! Look no further, Katy is who you are looking for :)”

“Thank you so much Jessica for taking great care of Max, it was a great experience for Max and me, she constantly shared videos and pics of Max and all the time she was in contact with me, no doubt we will be coming back when needed, thanks again!! 😊”

“Nashira was amazing!!! Easy to work with, excellent communication. With my permission she went hiking with our dogs, which was fantastic! Pups came home happy and tired. Will absolutely be looking to use Nashira again.”

“Lili and her 2 daughters were wonderful. They took care of our puppy and cat for 8 nights while we went to visit family. We are so thankful to have found them. They sent us updates every day along with pictures and videos. We had a delay in our returning flight due to weather and Lili gave us no hassle to keep them an extra 6 hours. We will definitely be giving 5 stars and would love to make Lili our sitter for any future trips. Highly recommend. Thank you again Lili and Selena!”

“This has to be the best family I have ever left my baby Husky Yoshi with. I was a bit nervous leaving her for the two nights as I have never left her more than a few hours using rover but Diana made this really easy sending photos during her walks, morning wake ups and throughout the day play times with her family. I was updated on her walks, feedings and naps, I never expected so much attention toward my Yoshi and know that if I need to take a few of days or even just a few hours away from Yoshi, I will be reaching out to Diana first every single time!!! Thank you Diana, you are the best!!!”

“We recently decided we didn’t want to leave our sweet Moose in a kennel when we had to be out of town any more, so we looked on Rover for a second home and a second family that would take him in and love him as their own. We found that in Cody and his family. This isn’t just a job to them—they truly love animals! It’s such a comfort knowing our Moose is being loved and cared for. We are so happy to have found them. And so is Moose!”


“Tambre, her daughter Emily and dog Duke were marvelous! My Briggie loved his stay and I don't believe wanted to come home. Tambre is very professional and has a deep understanding of pet caring. I will definitely use this wonderful team again! ”

Encino Bluff dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kimberly was amazing with our 8mo golden girl. Our pup came back in a great mood (and tired!) Kimberly gave updates throughout the week, which eased my anxious mind!! Our pup had a wonderful time at their home, lots of walks and care! I’m surprised she wanted to come back! Thanks again!!

Julianna is truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! We were away for 12 days, and from the moment we interviewed her, we knew she was the perfect match. She’s incredibly kind, responsible, experienced with animals, and 100% reliable. Every day, Julianna sent us detailed updates on our dogs — including their behavior, meals, potty habits (yes, even the runny ones!), fun highlights from their day, and lots of adorable photos. It was clear she genuinely cared for them and took her responsibilities seriously. She was also incredibly respectful and clean in our home, going above and beyond. On the 4th of July, knowing the fireworks would stress our dogs out, she made special accommodations by having her mom stay with them while she stepped out for a few hours. She even stayed later than planned when our flight was delayed—completely unprompted and so appreciated. We felt so at ease the entire time we were gone. Julianna is a rare gem, and we absolutely love her! If you’re lucky enough to book her, your pets and your home will be in the best hands possible.

Alex, was great! So much so, my Coco acted like he didn't want to leave when it was time to go, which warmed my heart. Her communication is awesome and she was very flexible, which I needed. I would highly recommend her if you want great care for your four legged family member!!!
