“My Henry loved spending time with Nataliia. I will definitely be utilizing her for all trips. I have had bad experiences in the past even where my Henry got bite while being at a sitters. Nataliia was the perfect person to just love on Henry! He immediately was comfortable when meeting her and when picked up wasn’t in a rush to leave. I am so thankful for Nataliia keeping me updated cause Henry means the world to me. If you need someone who truly will love on your baby. Nataliia is the one!”
“Kimberley was absolutely AMAZING. My puppy Mango seemed so happy the whole time she was with her and her sweet dog Donut, and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to give her the love and care that Kimberley gave her! I had only had my puppy for a couple weeks, and she has only had a little training so far. She is super high energy and such a cuddle bug and Kimberley was incredibly helpful with continuing with what Mango and I had been working on as well as giving her lots of enrichment, exercise, and cuddles!! I am so thankful to have found Kimberley and if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies, look no further!!! Kimberley is the BEST! 🥰”

“Wesley is an excellent pet sitter who has looked after my dog Sam. He is trustworthy, patient, and attentive to detail. Wesley’s property has a big back yard for dogs to play. Wesley did a great job of me several updates and photos of Sam during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Lisa is INCREDIBLE!! I am your classic overprotective dog mom and so I know my standards are often over the top BUT Lisa exceeded them all. I could go on and on but I would sum everything up to say I never worried for a moment that my dog Woody was safe - I actually really felt like he was being loved and cared for like I or my family would. I truly believe your dog would be lucky to get to stay with her!”

“Jill took incredible care of my pup! She was thoughtful, attentive, and asked plenty of questions to make sure she understood his needs. She’s kind, responsive, and clearly loves animals. She spent quality time with my pup, taking him for walks, giving him cuddles, and keeping him happy. Jill was also super understanding and flexible with some last-minute schedule changes. I’d absolutely trust her to care for him again.”

Gateway dog parents share their Rover experiences
Scarlett was great with our girl! She welcomed my laundry list of instructions for food, specialty collars, and behavioral triggers. We were not able to do a meet & greet beforehand but Scarlett worked to get Birdie comfortable and provided quick updates with progress and photos daily. Would definitely recommend!
Jill was awesome. I left Astro with her and I’m a very worried dog mom. Jill kept me updated with pictures and videos of Astro throughout his stay. She was quick to respond and easy to get a hold of. Astro loved being around her and her daughter and you could tell they took great care of him! Will definitely book again!
Sien did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is very anxious and shy around new people but he quickly warmed up to Sien and her pup. My dog had some digestive issues during the stay and Sien prepared some pumpkin and rice to help soothe his stomach and she was very communicative throughout his stay. I’d highly recommend Sien to anyone needing a sitter!
My dog stayed with them for a couple of nights. We had a great experience as the dog was picked up in a happy mood and also in a very clean condition. Donna was very communicative and sent updates everyday (and sometimes with pictures). We’ll reach out to them again when we need boarding for our dog.
Sloan was so sweet to my dogs! It was my first time leaving them with anyone for an extended period, and she gave me nothing to worry about. She made me feel completely safe and comfortable leaving them in her care. I have an elderly dog and another who gets anxious around new people, but they both warmed up to her right away. Sloan was very easy to contact and always responsive. She sent photos and videos whenever I asked throughout the day and even when I didn’t ask. It was a great first experience and I would definitely recommend her to watch your dogs!
Adriana did an amazing job caring for Rory! She provided frequent updates and put my mind at ease about leaving the cutie somewhere for a long vacation. Rory seemed happy with her new doggy (and cat!) friends :). Would recommend her whole heartedly and definitely rebook anytime!
After a mind meld with Leo, he was quite complimentary of Dylan. He gave him all the scratches and pets he could ask for and made him feel right at home. From a human perspective, Dylan communicated well and was very enthusiastic which put us at ease for our first Rover sit. Would definitely book with Dylan again!
