“Kazue took excellent care of our senior dogs. She sent pictures multiple times daily! Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we picked them up. We will be asking Kazue for her services again for our next trip!”
“Monica is a gem! It means so much to me as a pet mom, to have another person love my dog! Monica loves my dog. She didn't even have to say it, I knew! And my dog loves her. It seemed like a love fest! To those who are more left brain, Monica is professional, timely and accommodating. She does a great job. She kept me informed daily with texts and pictures. I felt comfortable leaving my baby with Monica. And this was my first time leaving her! Thank you, Monica!!!”
“Grisel was amazing! It was Bran’s first time being boarded through Rover so we had our initial worries about how he would do. Grisel’s updates and photos of him were something that we looked forward to everyday, she sent so many updates on his playing, feeding and walking time and was very understanding of his occasional shyness. We will definitely be booking her services again the next time we are out of town! I am so happy and relieved that we made a good choice for our first rover experience.”
“Achara was great and eased my mind about leaving my puppy for the first time. Responded very quickly every time! Send pictured and updated throughout his stay. My guy is very high energy and after I picked him up he slept for hours! He definitely enjoyed having his own backyard to tire himself out. Definitely recommend Achara for all your pet needs!”
“I wanted to send a big thank you to you for watching Moose. I am often hesitant about leaving him with someone else, but I truly feel I left him with the right person. I really appreciate how responsive, sweet, and respectful you were throughout the stay. Your knowledge about dogs is clear, and it was wonderful that you could take him on walks and spend time with him while working from home and sending daily updates. I would definitely like to book with you again for my next trip. You are a 10/10 for me :) Thanks again!”
“This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!”
“As a first time pet owner, sending Dubu to a boarding service was very nervous at best. My wife found Miya based on others recommendations and they are absolutely correct. From the initial meeting to introduce herself to Dubu and me to series of communications to prepare me for dropping Dubu off at her place made it easy and set up an expectation of what to expect. I could feel that Miya was very dedicated to the wellbeing of the dogs in her care. Taking Dubu out to walk 4 times in an one day stay just because Dubu wouldn’t go potty shows this. In addition to this, I’ve learned quite a bit more of what is like to raise a puppy from her experience. Experience was so great, I’ve booked next service with Miya already!”
“Swae was extremely happy with Davis. He is very communicative and he helped Swae out when he was having bathroom issues. Constantly providing updates and photos. I definitely recommend Davis to take care of your pets.”
“We are so grateful for the care XYZ provided to Mila. Just two days before her stay, Mila tore her ACL, and we triple-checked that XYZ was comfortable caring for her while we were out of town for a work meeting. Samea was absolutely wonderful! She made sure Mila took all of her medication, enforced rest, and kept her calm and safe (no rambunctious activity at all). It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mila was in such good hands during a stressful time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Aaron is the best. This is the first time I left my pup with a sitter and I knew he was in good hands. Aaron kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I fully trust him with my pup. Highly recommend !!!!”
“Matt gave outstanding care and attention to my dog. Thorough in his updates and careful to follow my requested care instructions. His pet dog was easy for mine to get along with.”
“Roy was incredible. 5 stars isn't enough! I panicked when our dog sitter cancelled the morning we were supposed to leave for our family vacation but luckily we found Roy. Our dog can be a bit of a handful. This was our first time going away and leaving our dog with someone so I was a little nervous but I would leave our dog with Roy any day. I can't even put into words our gratitude.”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Our experience with Erin has been wonderful! In the past, our dog Cinnamon hasn't liked being away from home. But she has been to Erin's multiple times now and is always super excited to go. Erin is an excellent communicator when coordinating dropoff/pickup times and sending photos/updates while Cinnamon is visiting. We are so happy we found her (and Cinnamon is too!)”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I love taking care of and interacting with cats and dogs. I truly have a soft spot for all animals and want to ensure they are getting the attention they deserve while their owners are away to know they are loved! Growing up, I had a pet husky and a Great Dane, and 2-4 cats at any time. My husky lived to be 17 years old, so I have experience and a special place in my heart for caring for senior dogs. I also spent over 10 years in the military where I would often be asked to pet sit for coworkers and friends when they would be required to travel for extended periods of time for work or when they’d travel far to visit their family. Many times it was last minute, but I always found a way to seamlessly help them out and their beloved pets! I currently work independently and am able to set my own schedule. I will adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. I can board pets in my home throughout the week. Walks or check-ins can be scheduled throughout the day. I have a fenced-in back yard and a doggy door. My 75-lb border collie mix, Jackson, is docile and loves to play with other dogs. He has lived with a corgi, 2 labradoodles, and a German shepherd in the past. I require meeting dogs in person before boarding them in my home to ensure they get along with Jackson. When I visit other homes, I like to spend quality time with the dogs in addition to regular care. This may include play time, walks, and giving them affection (if that is their personality).
“Melissa is a good Sitter For Faith.. She always send me pics of updating on how she doing and has Faith around other dogs.. Faith is not friendly with other dogs but when she stays with Melissa.. She is good around them.. In the future I will be booking with Melissa again..”
About: I have recently started sitting for a family friends dogs. I am very reliable with walking, feeding and naturing. I have worked with senior dogs as well. I currently work from home so I have more time to take care of pets. With free time during the weekends as well. I would be able to take the animals out 2-3 time during the week on breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a safe environment tailored to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and exercise requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“I was very comfortable leaving Pico with Lisa and Brent! Our initial meeting before booking them helped us get to know them and made me feel so much better about who I am leaving Pico with. During the stay, they were communicative and sent us tons of pictures which I appreciated. I would definitely book through them again in the future!”
Gateway West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Provided outstanding care for my two dogs. Brianna was great. She provided pictures of my dogs everyday and a message to let me know they were both doing well. Brianna also walked my two dogs, which is not to do because they each like to go in opposite directions. Brianna also provided their additional favorite dog food and needed pee pads when my supply ran short. I can’t say enough good things about Brianna. I will use her for all of my future dog care needs.
Denise was incredibly flexible and thoughtful before and during the sitting. Immediately and throughout the stay I received photos, videos, and updates. A few days in my pup had developed a limp (she is elderly and this has started happening on occasion). Denise was incredibly active in ensuring my dogs comfort while offering me options to help provide relief. Would absolutely book with Denise again and highly recommend her for anyone else.
I’m amazed at what a wonderful experience this was for me and my dog! I don’t really like letting anyone have my dog, but I trusted Chelsi instantly. She knows how to handle dogs, large dogs, very well. She is very sweet, my dog loved her instantly and I knew he was safe the whole time with continuous updates. Thank you Chelsi for loving my dog as I would.
Highly recommend Joyce for boarding! They watched my dogs for few days and did a fantastic job. The environment was clean and safe, and it was obvious that Joyce genuinely loves animals. My dogs came home relaxed rather than stressed, which is the best sign of a great sitter. Professional, Nice and trustworthy!" I’ll definitely be booking with Joyce again!
Davis is fantastic. I’m a repeat client and always book with confidence. Kobe gets plenty of walks, regular updates, and great care throughout the stay. Communication is solid, and Davis is flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which makes traveling much easier. I always know Kobe is in good hands when I’m on vacation. Highly recommend.
Sheng was absolutely wonderful. The entire process was smooth, and she was flexible, respectful, and genuinely kind. I trusted her completely with Chaco. After a few difficult experiences with sitters on Rover, I was hesitant to use the app again but Sheng immediately put me at ease. I’m truly grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.
This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!
Kirsten & Jake watched our gsd/husky pup for a week & half over thanksgiving and it went so well from meet & greet to pick up. They were responsive & easy to communicate with & gives clear instructions. Throughout the stay they send a lot of updates and photos (sometimes vids) which we appreciate, because u can tell they genuinely try to connect with our pup and make them feel comfortable! Their pup also played so well with ours. Thank you sm again for watching Summit and for treating her like your own! :)
