1. Christine J.
“Christine was great taking care of my dog and keeping me updated on how she was doing. I appreciated that she has a fenced in backyard so that my dog and her dogs could go out in the summer heat but for controlled periods.”
2. Alyce P.
“This weekend was our first experience using Rover for a sitter for our pup, Maisie, and we couldn’t have asked for better than Alyce and her family to watch her! Alyce hosted us for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure that Maisie and her dog would get along, which really put our minds at ease. Over the course of her stay, we received several photos and videos of Maisie playing with the other dogs and with Alyce’s sons, and you could just tell she was having a fantastic time. She really liked the variety toys that Alyce keeps for the dogs and roaming the nice, fenced backyard! We appreciated Alyce’s consistent communication and we had no doubt that our dog was in great, responsible hands and also enjoying herself! We would definitely recommend booking with Alyce and are confident we’ll be requesting her services again in the future!”

“Lauren took great care of our golden retriever! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. I felt comfortable knowing Warren was in great hands while we were away for the weekend! We will definitely use Lauren again!”
4. Vanessa G.
“My pup Leo stayed with Vanessa for a week and had such a great time. She kept me updated with photos and videos and we will definitely use her again next time we go away!”
5. Nelitza M.
“Nelitza treated my two boys like her own! Im so glad I found her last minute as my international trip got extended, so it was quite stressful that nothing was going as planned. However, Neliztza made everything so easy and smooth for me, I was so thankful for her! 🩷 I kept having to extend the drop off time and she was able to still take care of my boys, im so appreciative of her! On top of that, she sent me update pictures of my boys very constantly! We ran out of the dog food, and she was able to pickup some food for my boys too! I would definitely use her again in the near future!!”
6. Adi V.
“Adi was so great with Leo! She was flexible with the meet and greet and flexible about pick up/drop off. She sent amazing photos of Leo and I could tell he was loving it! Highly recommend!”
7. Patrice & Ricardo C.
“Patrice and Ricardo were great and took wonderful care of our little dog Cleo. They communicated with us several times a day and sent lots of photos and videos, which we loved. They had no problem handling tasks like administering her daily eye drops. They were very careful to ask questions and make sure they understood all of Cleo's daily routines. Cleo seemed very happy and well cared-for when we picked her up. We will definitely use Patrice and Ricardo again!”
8. Rafael M.
“Rafa is the best doggie sitter ever. He treated my Pittie as if Nico was his own dog. He took him on lots of walks/runs, gave him yummy and healthy treats. Rafa also sent many videos and pics which I love. Yay Rafael!”
9. Luciana V.
“Can't say enough good things about Luciana. She was great with communication, pupdates, and giving my puppy so much care and attention he came home happier than when I left him. I was reluctant to leave Maverick with anyone and Luciana completely put me at ease. She is 100% my go to person for taking care of my pup.”
10. Nyla & Corey M.
“Nyla was a fantastic host to Polly, my miniature schnauzer, for several days and evenings. She was caring, attentive, and offered a safe and loving home.
