“My first experience using rover was great, all due to the care and attention given to my pet by Ana. The property is amazing. Plenty of fenced in yard for your dog to get exercise. She supervises your pet at all times and sends updates throughout the day through rover on your pups progress. My Furi started out the week as a shy pup. By the end of the week she had so many friends to play with. I look forward to continue using her daycare service. Highly recommend!!”

“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Mona. Her home and yard are very dog friendly, and there is plenty of space for play. We had daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

4. Darby E.

“We are first-time ROVER users and PEACH is a young rescued puppy who has not had a sitter besides ourselves. She was well cared for by Darby and very tired out (in a good way) by the attention she got from Darby and her dog wab and her cat. The socialization phase is well underway and we are looking forward to having Darby care for her for a 4 days period next month. Very pleased with the ROVER setup and Darby in particular👍”

“Paige was so flexible and very accommodating for a last minute booking. She let me see her place, where Dave would be staying for the day. And she asked all the questions to make the handoff seamless. Will book again!”

9. Britney H.
“There is no one I would recommend more for the care of your animal than Maliyah. She is the most responsible 11 year old I have met. Her love and passion for animals shines through her little spirit whenever she talks about becoming a veterinarian. Maliyah gives 110% to everything she sets her mind to and she takes pride in providing those around her with only her absolute best. You will not be disappointed entrusting Maliyah with the care of your animal. You and your family will be blessed to have such a responsible, respectful and pleasant young lady caring for your pet.”


10. Alexander & Josephine J.
“We have been using Alex for a few years now whenever we are out of town or need someone to let the dogs out on a long day. We have two dogs, 1 senior and 1 younger high energy pup and loves on both of them equally. We also have 2 cats, fish, & a gecko lizard and Alex has done it all! Including giving our senior his medication. Not only experienced, Alex is reliable and genuine about his love for animals. He’s even been able to come through on last minute request. He’s made house calls and have taken the pups over so they wouldn’t be alone and the pup could be out of the crate on my longer work days. Would recommend 10/10! Thank you Alex!”

“Kim was great! So caring of my boy and very nice about any delays on my part. Gave lovely updates and pictures that helped ease my mind when leaving my pup with a dog sitter for the first time. Keeper will definitely go back!”


14. Alex & Maria O.

“We were so nervous to have other people take care of our dogs, but we decided to try Rover.com and we came across Alexandre and Maria O's profile. We had a wonderful experience, our dogs were taken care of extremely well. They showed them love and kept us informed throughout the day with updates and photographs. We would love to have Alexandre and Maria take care of our dogs again and highly recommend you use their services.”

16. Gabriel D.
About: There’s nothing better in the world than having a pet. I grew up with three family dogs, a cat, and two budgies. I love to go for walks and play with my friends’ pets, and I currently dog sit for two friends when they go on vacation. I am looking for more opportunities, now that I work from home. I work from home, meaning I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I am usually indoors during regular work and school hours, and I live very close to some lovely parks. My apartment’s floor plan leaves plenty of space to play with, cuddle, and/or wash your dog. I also have a large, grassy courtyard in the center of my complex, so we can run around and play fetch in a safe area!


17. Nicole H.


“Nicole was amazing! She was extremely polite and wonderful with my dogs. I received updates and pictures the whole time; you can tell she has a genuine love of animals. I will not hesitate to use her in the future!”


18. Lauren H.

“Lauren is so great with our nervous dog and we are so happy to have found such a great dog handler and sitter. Our baby gets to play with other dogs and live her best. We’ve booked Lauren many times now and will continue to do so in the future - it is priceless knowing your baby is in great hands!”


19. Paloma P.
“Paloma is a fantastic dog walker. She checked in on my pup every two hours for the week that she watched him. It was awesome and she did a great job.”


20. Noah R.
“Noah is a top notch pet sitter! He knows how to have fun with pets and make them feel comfortable, while taking care of any serious issues that may arise. I cannot recommend him enough for all your pet sitting needs!”
