“We have used Rover sitters several times now and Diahann has been by far the best we’ve used and we will definitely use her in the future for our two small dogs. Our dogs are picky when it comes to food and admittedly kind of spoiled and high maintenance but they did great at Diahann’s and she provided us with plenty of pics and videos so we didn’t worry about them. They eat special food (mainly human food) and when they ran out Diahann took it upon herself to cook them chicken and rice (which is one of the main dishes they eat). We highly recommend Diahann — her rates are a bargain considering she is by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover.”
“Sheena is absolutely AMAZING! She sent me so many pictures, videos and updates. My coco girl is anxious and unsure of everyone but loved Sheena and her family so much! Will definitely be using them again 🥰”
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of Luna even though Luna was not a very good girl there. Nicole and her family were very understanding of Luna‘s separation anxiety from me and gave her tons of love and attention. I would definitely recommend her to care for your Fur baby.”
“My dog Cookie was well taken care of. Nikkole listened to my concerns, vet's suggestions, and what works best for my dog, and goes above and beyond! Cookie was so well taken care of in my absence, and he came home so healthy and happy. I will definitely be taking him back and am thankful to her for treating my dog as one of her own.”
“Our experience with Katie and her family was nothing short of incredible. From the meet and greet where Katie listened to all the things that make Wrigley, Wrigley, to sharing what we could expect for him while in her care, to the drop off where they helped ease the goodbye (Wrigs has short-term separation anxiety), to the photos and texts during his stay, to the pickup where Wrigley clearly demonstrated that he was settled and comfortable (it took him a minute for him to even realize I was calling his name b/c he was engaging with Katie), we couldn't have asked for more. They adapted to Wrigley's needs and welcomed him right in. Wrigley came home happy (and wiped out) from his 4 day playdate, and we know where we'll try and send him whenever we need to know that he's getting the same kind of care and love we give him at home. Thank you, Katie and family!”
“We are so grateful to have found Dana to care for our dachshund puppies. She arranged for a meet and greet prior to their stay, which also helped to ensure that we knew our pups were going to do well while we were away from them for the first time. We loved that they were going to be cared for in a home rather than a kennel - where they were treated like family. They also enjoyed their doggie playmates and having room to roam outside. We were confident they would be safe as Dana also has a fully fenced yard with remote controlled gate access. We loved getting the photos while we were away which made us able to relax even more knowing they were in good hands!! We also greatly appreciated Dana’s flexibility in our return time when car trouble delayed us. Thanks so much for caring for our pups, Dana! We can’t wait for them to have another stay. ??”
“Jeanine did great with my tobi! She kept in constant communication through message and pictures. He absolutely loved being there. I will definitely be bringing him back whenever i need 😊”
“Roger was wonderful and our dog seemed very happy with him at pickup and with the daily photo updates. I accidentally selected the wrong pickup time and and Roger was very accommodating. A+!”
“Kathie’s home has become Ripley’s favorite home away from home! She is absolutely wonderful with him and treats him so well! I get regular updates with photos and he always looks so happy! Highly recommended!!!”
“Suzi is so thoughtful and creates a warm home away from home for the dogs in her care. A great mix of indoor and outdoor time, combined with plenty of heartfelt affection for each pup. I feel very safe and happy knowing that my dog is in her care.”
“Our dogs had an amazing time! They were treated like family! They returned home so happy and well exercised :) We received video and photo updates throughout their stay. We will definitely look to have them stay here in the future.”
“She was really nice during our meet and greet. Then my dogs needed an unexpected stay for two nights, she responded fast and we could continue on our trip. My dogs loved staying there and they fit in with the family. Looking forward to our next stay.”
“The most amazing doggy sitter on the planet i think. She loves animals so much you can see it and feel it when talking to her. My doggies seems so happy there. Plenty love and attention. I felt comfortable leaving them there. Good home. Excellent communication. Very kind person. Absolutely will recommend her to everyone and absolutely will use her again (if she will have us). Fantastic experience.”
“Would highly recommend!! Tiffany was beyond professional from start to finish! She provided daily updates as well as photos and videos. Her entire family gave my little one lots of attention and love. I have not felt more comfortable with a private sitter, than I did with Tiffany & Tremaine. I appreciate the great service and I will be a returning client.”
“Boarding with Kirsten was the perfect fit for Tucker! Pics she sent show him happy and smiling, and she's so loving with her fur babies! I want to schedule another time with her 7/17 to 7/20/25!”
“McKenzie took great care of our two doodles! It was the first time they stayed without us, so naturally i was nervous. But she sent pictures and took care of them. Thank you McKenzie!”
“This is our first time using Laurin as our dog sitter. She was very helpful accomodating our last minute booking because our dog sitter has canceled on us. Our dog was super happy, stayed active and feel loved by her and her wonderful family! Thank you so much! Totally recommend her 👌 ❤️”
