“Emily was so great with my girls. I got regular updates and pics, and felt confident that my doggos were in good hands. My elderly pug has some health issues, and has some doggy-dementia issues. But Emily took great care of her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Jennifer was kind and flexible, keeping our dog for an extra night when our flight back home was delayed. I believe our dog was very well cared for. We will look forward to working with Jennifer again.”

“Great care of our active dog. She loved her evening cuddle times and sharing a people bed after a fun day of playing with new doggie friends. As a dog mom, I appreciated the timely updates and pics. Jared was considerate of my concerns of how our dog was adapting to the new temporary home.”

“Leah and Chris were amazing! It was so obvious our boys were having a blast with them and that they loved them as their own. We got daily updates with amazing photos of the dogs and saw they were being regularly walked and paid attention to. 100% will book with them again.”

“Daniel took great care of my high strung dog Koa Bear while we were on a 10 day vacation. He sent a some pics of Koa and after the second night he got one of Koa in his most comfortable belly up sprawl. At that point I knew Koa was living the good life and didn't worry about him. I highly recommend Daniel for your pet sitting needs.”

“Carolyn did a great job with Luna! They made fast friends and Luna had Carolyn giving her those favorite belly rubs. Luna normally has separation anxiety, but she was comfortable with Carolyn right away! We would love to have her take care of our fur baby again in the future!”

“I was so happy to get updates and photos every day! It made me feel like she was in good hands, and I liked the reminder she was doing well. It sounds like my cat had a great time and was entertained during her stay. Thank you!”

“Megan took amazing care of my dog Teddy while I was on vacation. She truly treated Teddy like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. From the love and attention to the thoughtful care, it was clear Teddy was happy and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Megan again and will absolutely come back to her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Genevieve cared for our sweet girl as if she was her own! We could tell our dog felt comfortable and loved the entire time we were gone, evidenced by her behavior when we returned (if she was uncomfortable she would have been way more anxious when we picked her up) and by all of the wonderful pics and videos Genevieve sent while we were away! We will DEFINITELY be using Genevieve’s services again and would recommend her to any family or friends in need.”

“We had an amazing experience with Steve! He is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about our dog, Ranger. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ranger was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Margaret was absolutely WONDERFUL! Jameson had such a great time spending the weekend with her and her family. She walked and played with him and was sure to send pictures of their great time together. We would highly recommend her.”

“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”

“I have two dogs, one of which has separation anxiety pretty bad. Hannah was able to make them feel safe and comfortable. She sent frequent updates and was flexible and communicative. She was by far the best pet sitter my boys have stayed with.”

“Ann has been my saving grace! I am a helicopter dog mom and have a lot of trust issues when it comes to my girl Birdie…. and luckily, Ann acknowledged my anxieties and assured such great care! She is a great communicator, loves my girl as if she was her own, and is always available! I have to mention that we did have a cancellation last minute but it was because she did not want Birdie to potentially get sick. I think that’s an important thing to consider with the review that Rover posted. No issues with Ann whatsoever, and i will continue to feel at ease when dropping Birdie off!”

“We love Debbie!! She is always dependable and takes great care of our dog. She also was so communicative and flexible when travel threw us curve balls and made sure we were able to reconnect with our dog after a long day.”

Ann was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Daisy. She responded to questions or inquiries for updates quickly. She provided text updates on her own as well. Was very communicative about any issues that were occuring with our pup in regards to anxiety and did her best to help our pup feel comfortable with her.

A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.

I am so happy to have found Valerie. She is friendly and my Oscar loves her. He came home smelling great and happy. I know he was well taken care of. I really loved the daily updates she sent and really appreciate the care she gave my pup. Thank you so much Valerie.
Jared was awesome! I was so nervous because this was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs for an extended period of time, but Jared always replied quickly and gave updates as well as pictures daily. My dogs are very timid and not well socialized, but they fit in well with Jared’s pack.

Kylie is amazing!!! Super quick to reply and really accommodating when we needed a last-minute booking. She kept us updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures. Honestly she deserves to charge more — we were really grateful and would definitely book with her again.

Michelle was an absolute angel and took the most fantastic care of my fur babies anyone possibly could! She’s communicative, thoughtful, and sweet, sent me lots of photos while I was gone of her kids playing with the puppies. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Where to begin? Genevieve was truly a blessing! Our dog had such a lovely time! Hikes and walks and love 24/7 while we were away. She sent updates of all the adventures she took our dog on. We truly could not have asked for a better sitter for our pup. If you want someone who will absolutely give 200% to your pet, book with Genevieve! We are so very grateful for her. Thank you!
Lisselle’s amazing and took great care of Olaf! Olaf loves her! It was clear to me that he was comfortable with her and being in her space just after our meet and greet. Love that she works from home and is able to give Olaf the attention he needs while I’m away at work 🫶🏽
