2. Hang Q.

“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Hang! He was the absolute sweetest, especially when my trip got unexpectedly extended by two nights. Hang was incredibly understanding and accepted to watch my dog without any hesitation. Throughout the entire stay, he was quick to respond to my messages and gave frequent updates on how my senior dog was doing, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

12. Maxine D.


“Maxine is THE BEST sitter you will find! She is reliable, professional, kind, flexible, and took WONDERFUL care of our dog! We couldn't have asked for more! She sent us daily pictures of our Ralphie and he looked like he was having the time of his life - smiling in every picture!! When we went to pick him up, he almost looked disappointed that it was time to leave Maxine and go home! We ran into some flight delays coming home, but Maxine was so understanding and worked with us. We appreciated it so much. We are so happy we found Maxine! She will be our sitter moving forward!”


13. Lindsey D.

“Lindsay and her family were INCREDIBLE! I’ve used a lot of Rover sitters and she was one of the best sitters I’ve ever used! My dog Honey was so well loved, got to go on multiple walks, played ball with her kids and I could trust that she was in the best care! Will definitely be using again and would 100% recommend! 🩷🐶”


14. Jose & Lygia F.

“Jose and Lygia were absolutely incredible!! They communicated multiple times daily and were so great to my boy Rip! I’d highly recommend them!”


15. Lisa S.

“As a first time Rover customer, I was so nervous about leaving Conor with anyone other than the 3 people who have ever watched any of my dogs. Lisa was calm and very kind, with her 4 years of Rover experience and countless dogs that have stayed at her home being of comfort to me. I received regular updates of photos so I knew he was quite content at her home. She was also very flexible on my quick turnaround request, and slightly unpredictable return schedule, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Conor said he had a great time with Lisa and even got to meet her boyfriend and also a puppy during his stay! A bonus is that Lisa makes and uses her own candles, which means Conor came back smelling really good.”


16. Kim S.


“Kim did a great job! She was very professional and sent great updates. She was so sweet and my pup came home very tired!! Will be requesting to book with Kim again!”

“Will has been a godsend. He loves all of his little charges as much as they love him. I am boarding my little girl in a time of upheaval in our lives, and having a responsible, caring sitter has made an enormous difference in mine and my soft pup's lives. Thanks for everything, Will!!!”
