1. Zo H.
“Zo is not just a rover dog sitter; she's a canine whisperer! Her attention to detail is beyond remarkable, and the frequent updates she shared were like a heartwarming daily story of Spud's adventures. It's evident that Zo goes above and beyond, creating an environment where Spud not only feels loved but also thrives. The sheer joy on Spud's face when he's with Zo speaks volumes. I can't thank her enough for the exceptional care and the abundance of love and exercise she showers on Spud! Zo truly is a gem in the world of dog sitting.”
2. Suzanne E.
“Suzanne is amazing and has an incredible space for hosting dogs. My partner and I left our pup with Suzanne for several days, and it's very obvious Pinot had the time of her life. We received regular updates from Suzanne during the stay with photos and videos. I very much appreciate she specializes in smaller dogs, so I knew Pinot was going to be well taken care of and have the social time she needs. We would have Suzanne watch Pinot anytime- and recommend others to do the same!”
3. Chawntea P.
“There’s no place like home but this is the closest place to it. Wonderful, warm, loving and caring home by a wonderful, loving and caring person. And her dear sweet mother too! 5 stars all around. I had to find a sitter on extreme short notice and I was so thrilled that Chawntea was willing to accept my pup with less than 12 hours notice and for a 13 day stay while I was out of the country. My pampered pooch was treated like her own and I honestly think she may have came back more spoiled than when I left her and after that much time away it was a wonderful feeling knowing she was cared for so well. She even gave her a bath! Definitely will be a repeat customer and looking forward to future play dates w/ Bailey. Thank you so much!”
4. Chad A.
“Chad provided a great sit for my 2 dogs. They were clearly well cared for. Between the two of them, they need a lot of meds and Chad willingly dispensed them. They'll be back! Thanks, Chad.”
5. Lee J.
“Great communication and flexibility. Thanks for taking great care of Mia. I will be sure to reach out next time she needs a sitter. Thanks Jaime”
6. Golda M.
“Golda and her husband were AMAZING! We will book again. They are located right across from a field-so our dog got the exercise she needed. They gave us so many pics/videos/updates on how she was doing and how much they enjoyed having Luna Sky stay with them. They were very thoughtful in offering to purchase more of her daily supplement and even bought her more of her treats to take home. They really made our dog part of their family while we were away and honestly were wonderful to work with. Nothing but 5 stars for us :) !”
7. Melina B.
“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”
8. Kim T.
“Kim and Jeff did a wonderful job with my dog Charlie during his week stay at their place. He was welcomed into their dog pack, and the pictures they sent showed him having a fantastic time. I got frequent, funny updates and pictures, which put my mind at ease. Jeff trained Charlie with Charlie's reactiveness on the leash, and gave me some tips on how to help Charlie with this. Charlie came home happy and tired, a good sign! Would highly recommend Kim and Jeff and I will definitely be using their services again!”
9. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was incredibly sweet and communicative. She sent photos or videos everyday and was very patient with Valerie. I could tell Val had a great time while there.”
10. Megan K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Megan! She watched our pup for us while we’d were out of town for 4 nights. She was so amazing with updates and pictures. I could tell our pup had a great time and felt comfortable. Will definitely book again! :)”
11. Danielle M.
“Danielle was awesome! I would highly recommend. This was ours and Chili’s first Rover experience and it went exceptionally well. He loved Danielle and her dogs. He got comfortable very quickly and seemed so happy on hikes with the other dogs. We got tons of updates and photos of chili at doggy camp. Danielle is so experienced and even had recommendations for us on how to train his reactivity.”
12. Anthony A.
“Nikita & Anthony are amazing dog sitters. I trusted them completely to take care of my older dog while I was out of town. Really sweet people and excellent communication- clearly dog lovers. 10/10 would recommend.”
13. Sara B.
“Sara is seriously the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She has watched my dogs on many occasions and has truely treated them like her own. She’s very conscious of their needs and really goes the extra mile to make sure they're not just well cared for but happy.”
14. Jhoanna I.
“If you’re looking for a sitter in the east bay, you’ve found her! I’m very particular with my boys and have gone through so many different Rover sitter trials. Johanna was immediately warm, has great indoor and outdoor space and sends us so many photos and updates. I’ll definitely be contacting her again!”
15. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff and Beth are the best! They kept me updated all the time about my dog’s adventures and were kind enough to make sure Shiryu was always comfortable. Great experience. Peace of mind while I’m traveling. Would definitely like to take Shiryu back next time!”
16. Ching C.
“We couldn’t ask for a better family to leave our pet with. They treat him like he’s their own and send us videos throughout the day. We are very happy with Ching!”
17. Kelly L.
“Kelly took such good care of our little Buster. After initially meeting Kelly it was apparent that she was very experienced when it came to caring for dogs and that she pays attention to every detail. While we were gone she sent multiple updates a day where we could see that our little pup made himself at home very quickly (which is saying a lot because he is an anxious boy). Not only did she take good care of him but she also gave him all of the attention and affection that he’s used to ? I would be so happy to have Buster stay with her again and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of him.”
18. Erika P.
“Once again, Erika and The Pea were lovely hosts to our little one. They are like his aunties now! They are so loving and generous. One of my favorite things is receiving little updates from the crew in the form of letters authored by Champi hehe! As a new puppy mom, I also appreciate the opportunity to learn from Erika. She’s provided wonderful advice and training tips to help Champi’s journey to dog-hood. Staying with Erika not only means he is well taken care of, he also gets to continue to socialize the Pea and other pups and dogs that they care for. I’m so grateful they are in our lives! I will always recommend staying with Erika and The Pea.”
19. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She watched both of our dogs for a week and provided daily updates on what they were up to and included some amazing pictures. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling amazing a few of the days and Stephanie went above and beyond to notify us and even offered to take the dog to the vet. Both dogs are properly exhausted after an amazing visit with Stephanie, even teaching me a fun game to play with the dogs! I 100% trust Stephanie with my dogs and honestly can’t put into words how happy I am to have found her.”
20. Teetouch P.
“I recommend Tee to take care of anyone's dog! He is very professional and very responsive about my concerns to ensure Ollie was comfortable. Every day he would send wonderful pictures and videos of our dog playing with other pups and spending time with his family. The only issue we had was our dog did gain weight and was overfed more than the amount that was defined in the details we sent. We did discuss that the next time, he would feed the correct portions. Overall, I strongly recommend him for boarding. Tee and his family truly gave him lots of love and care making sure he kept up with his basic training. They cuddled with him, ran with him, bathed him, and gave him plenty of playtime with all his dog friends. No doubt, your dog will come back very happy because Tee will definitely take great care of your dog.”
