1. Reena K.

“I trust Reena with my dog more than anyone else at this point. When my dog runs to their house at drop off, that tells me a lot. She always sends pictures and videos, but not too much :) She keeps you posted and updates you at least twice a day. She is also very accommodating when I was running late or arriving early. Amazing person and a loving family.”
2. Alison W.

“I recently moved out to a different area and I was worried about finding a sitter who could take care of my reactive pup but my dog bloo really loves going to Alison. She’s great with communicating and providing videos/photos during boarding and I feel relieved knowing I can bring my dog to her whenever I need. She was flexible and watched my dog even when she was busy with work, she also let me know bloo was a pleasure to have around and that’s always nice to hear. I’ve never seen her so excited to see any other sitter and it’s nice to see how much she cares for bloo. I can tell my dog bloo really likes Alison, and I do too! i highly recommend her and will definitely bring bloo back whenever I need the help!”


3. Patricia D.


“Patricia was fantastic, it was our first time that our pooch visited and Rudy could not have been happier. She has an open home and went out of her way to make sure Rudy was comfortable. With her cats, Patricia knew how to introduce them so Rudy would make friends with all the animals there (the house is set up so they can keep separate if needed). We received pictures of Rudy, and I really could not have been happier with the care. Her high rating is well deserved, will book again, thanks Patricia!”


4. Bennie & Jennie D.


“Bennie & Jennie did such a wonderful job caring for my kitty, I couldn't have left her in better hands! I loved getting their updates throughout the day, I could tell they were very loving and attentive”


5. Candi G.


“My dog Liam enjoys staying at Candi’s place because he has other dogs to play with. Her place is spacious and clean so I feel confident that he is well cared for.”


6. Estrella G.

“Estrella and her family have been great with our puppy and our dog so far! I really appreciate the periodic photos of our pets being on their best behavior while she is watching them.”


7. Nancy & Richard B.

“Nancy and Richard are so accommodating and friendly! We have a 7 year old Lagotto with anxiety and is somewhat difficult but they were very understanding and patient. We are so grateful for them! Thank you!”


8. Aaron S.

“Aaron was amazing! We had never left our fur baby with a sitter before, so we weren't sure what to expect. Aaron was very welcoming and attentive with our puppy. He went above and beyond for Nuggie, even giving him a homemade, dog-safe Christmas dinner. He kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of walks and trips to the dog park. When we unexpectedly had to reschedule our return flight due to bad weather, Aaron kindly accommodated our request to keep Nuggie one more night. We are so happy that Aaron gave Nuggie a safe, fun place to stay while we were away.”


9. Holly S.

“So great! Felt comfortable leaving my two pups with Holly and her kids. Sent photos continuously so I knew they were in good hands. Would book again!”


10. Annalie C.

“Annalie was amazing! I reached out to her very last minute do to an emergency and she with no issues responded promptly to help me and my pup Moose. Her family was all polite and took Moose in with open arms and cared for my dog with excellent care. I would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her. Thank you again, Annalie.”

12. Natasha M.

“Natasha and Margarita were the best taking care of my crazy pup, Maya! They spoiled her rotten with friends, a backyard and of lots of attention. They truly put my mind at ease while traveling for work and always responded almost instantly. Will definitely book again when Im back in the area!”


13. Lisa H.

“Lisa is awesome! We needed a dog sitter for our miniature dachshund at the last minute and Lisa immediately responded and set up a meet and greet as well. She was very caring with our dog and sent us many updates. We were so lucky to find her- you won’t be disappointed with her?”


14. Desiree M.

“The best review of a Rover sitter is: "Would you use them again?". I would/will definitely look at Desiree's calendar next time we need someone to watch our dog. Desiree was kind and communicative and took our dog in as her own. We know our dog was well taken care of. Thank you!”


15. Derek K.

“Derek was amazing with our 8 mo puppy! It was our dog's first time away from home but we felt so at ease thanks to his great communication and constant photo and video updates. He has great knowledge of dog behavior and knew exactly how to socialize our anxious puppy so she was able to gain confidence and start playing with the other dogs quickly.”


16. Davina G.
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Davina! She took such great care of my dog, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and entertained the whole time. From walks to playtime, Davina was incredibly attentive and kept me updated with regular messages and photos. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals, and my dog was in excellent hands. When I came home, he was relaxed and content. I highly recommend Davina to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”


17. Cheryl V.

“Wonderful! I cannot express how happy I was and from the pictures Cheryl sent me of Belle if she could talk she would want to stay there. Cheryl was professional and immediately responded to any questions I had. I was so impressed with her care and service my Belle is staying this upcoming weekend while I’m on business.”
