“Our dog had a wonderful time. She sent us photos every day and let us know how our dog was doing. She even gave him a bath. Prior to picking him up. Christina was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely use her again”
“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our 10 year old GS. His dog, Izzy is so calm and sweet and our dogs did very well together. Kevin’s communication was very prompt and thorough. It is very clear that he genuinely loves dogs and takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. He sent us a pic of our dog every day along with a quick note on her wellbeing and what she was up to. We loved getting these updates that reassured us that she was settling in with him and Izzy. Kevin even went the extra mile for us and dropped off our dog and her things at our home to meet our daughter who needed to drive to Oro Valley after a long flight. We will not hesitate to book with Kevin again. He has a nice tidy home, is a great communicator, professional, caring and witty. Thank you so much!”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Amber was so sweet her and her family took care of my dog like if it was apart of her family. I got pictures and he looked happy and healthy. I got him back looking clean and healthy.”
“Coco had another wonderful vacation at Adriana and Kayla’s. When we pulled up to her house, he was very excited. He pulled me on the leash all the way up to her front door. That is not what he normally does and it made me laugh. It is such a blessing to know, that when we drop him off with Adriana that he is well taken care of his needs are met and exceeded. She sends great pictures and I get to see that he is having a great time and he’s also getting his rest and at his age he needs his rest. I highly recommend Adriana her home is beautiful, warm and caring.”
“Everything we could have hoped for and more. Our one-year old, high energy boy is worn out and very happy after spending 3 days with Carrie. She sent us pictures and updates regularly and has been nothing but pleasant and reliable. We feel so lucky to have found her. Game changer.”
“Such a sweet family. We broke down and we were a day late picking up. Without hesitation they offered to keep her an extra day. Will definitely ask them again if the occasion arrives we need a sitter.”
“A huge thank you to Celeste for accepting our booking at such short notice! Really great communication with pictures of our dog throughout the stay. If we are in the area again, we would definitely rebook!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our pups stay. He was well cared for and was loved on so well! I got plenty of pictures and communication!! We would definitely book her again!!”
“Anabelle was fantastic! She sent me pictures and an update everyday on how Zeke was doing. She has a nice, fenced, shaded backyard where he can get out and play. When I picked him up he seemed happy and had no problems adjusting when we got home. (Sometimes he likes to punish us with bad behavior when we return home) Thanks Anabelle”
“Heidi was exceptional. She really was so sweet and kind to our Hunter boy. If ever we find ourselves needing a sitter in PHX again we would definitely go back. Thank you! 🤍”
“Carolyn did a great job taking care of our puppy while we went out of town. She had excellent communication including pictures and videos too. Will use her again in the future.”
“Cheryl took great care of our two grown up dogs. She was very attentive to their needs, followed instructions and kept us updated with messages and pictures on a very regular basis. I would leave our dogs with her again for sure and recommend her.”
“Briana did a wonderful job taking care of our Zeus this weekend. This was his first sitter stay and she kept me updated on him. I highly recommend Briana and Brandon. Thank you again.”
“Richard is so awesome!! I have two dogs, one is super shy and he handled her so well. I am so excited i found a sweet reliable source. Will be using Richard again and highly recommend him for sitting!”
“Laurie was so great with Molly! Molly seemed comfortable from the very start and fit right into their “pack”. I’m so thankful we got all the photos to keep us updated all week too! Thank you Laurie & family!!”
“I feel really safe with Barry staying with Brandon’s family! I pay close attention to Barry’s behavior after he stays with a new sitter and he acts very normal and content which actually says a lot! Thanks Brandon for taking care of him”
“We’ve always had friends or family watch our girls, so I was naturally nervous to choose someone I didn’t know. However, from our initial meeting with Tea, I could see her kindness in her stories and the way she interacted with our dogs. Our Schnauzer takes a bit to warm up to people, and I could see with Tea’s experience she knew exactly how to be patient and win her trust over time, which meant the world to me. We were away for 10 days, and Tea kept us connected with regular pictures and notes on how they were doing. The biggest compliment I can give is that while the girls were happy to see us, they were so content with Tea that it was by no means a 'prison break' when it was time to leave. They were relaxed, happy, and I know they would be thrilled to return. We’ve found our new sitter.”
Fort McDowell dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly came highly recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. She communicated quickly, was friendly and professional, and sent pictures daily (some of the best photographs of any Rover pet sitter we've used). Our golden had an amazing time and was well taken care of... I swear he looked disappointed when we showed up and he realized he had to leave. Thank you, Kelly!
