1. José S.

“Jose was recommended to us by one of our regulars who wasn't available, and we have been blown away. Cleo has had so many adventures while we were gone. Walking with other pups, joining him on drives, and just generally living life. His updates are incredible and consistent. He is also very kind and has gone above and beyond to help us out and extend his stay during a difficult time for our family. We will absolutely be booking with him again!”


2. Patricia S.

“Patricia is our #1 Rover because of the way our nervous dogs come out of their shells with her. She sends pictures of them all piled on the bed together with her - that's how we know that they feel comfortable and safe, and that means the world to us when we're away. She also makes the extra effort to make sure the house is clean and tidy when we come home (we clean before we leave but I swear it looks better when we come back), and that's just an added bonus.”


3. Victoria L.

“Victoria was very professional and polite! We did a meet and greet where she asked all of the important questions and then when the time come for her to watch our sweet pup, she was open and communicative. She provided multiple updates along with pictures. I would definitely have her look after our dog again!”


4. Jennifer T.

“Jennifer kept our dog Scout for 10 days over Christmas and New Years! We were happy to come home to a happy and healthy pup. Jennifer was communicative when we checked in and handled Scout’s dog-”


5. Sasha T.

“Sasha was literally incredible. This is the first time I've ever used Rover and I was scared; we've all heard the horror stories about this app, but I am so grateful for Sasha! My dog loves her and I fully trust her with him. If you need a dog sitter, I highly suggest Sasha! 🐾❤️”


6. Jennifer R.

“Jennifer was amazing with my 11-month-old puppy, Zima. They became friends, played a lot, and I knew Zima was in the best hands. It really gave me peace of mind knowing Zima was safe and well cared for. Zima even learned some new tricks during her time with Jennifer! Jennifer was always on time, super professional, and listened to any special requests I had. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”


7. Cynthia G.
“Cynthia did an amazing job watching our pets! She sent lots of pictures and updates which was awesome! She even took our pup to the dog park and gave him baths when he was dirty. We will definitely use her in the future!”


8. Mallory T.

“Mallory was a great dogsitter for my dog Chase. She made the extra effort to take care of the vet procedure he had just had, communicated and sent pictures. She also trained him to sit when people came to the door which I am very thankful for her efforts. Chase was well taken care of and the house was clean. I recommend Mallory and hope she will stay with Chase in the future.”


9. Mckinnley C.

“Mckinnley did a great job watching our dog Leo for 6 days while we went away on a trip. She communicated well and sent photos/updates often. Our dog is a scared and shy boy, and she was very patient with him and able to earn his trust. She also did a nice job of keeping our apt clean, which is always nice to see when coming back home. We will definitely reach out to Mckinnley again the next time we need a dog sitter 😊”


10. Amera M.
“Amera is an awesome pet caregiver. She is a responsible and caring pet owner. She extends open arms to fostering pets in need. I admire the patience she has with the most difficult pet behaviors she has been challenged with. She would be the first person I would turn to with any pet caregiving needs. Our pets were very excepting of her gentle nature.”


11. Brittanie S.

“We were SO happy with our dogsitting experience with Brittanie! She went above and beyond in caring for our dog in our home while we were away. Would definitely use her again!”


12. Sage O.
“Sage Ortiz is trustworthy, honest and kind. She loves animals and helps care for 3 dogs and 2 cats in her home. She has always loved animals and is gentle and kind when she encounters them. When she undertakes a job, she completes it in a timely manner, and she completes it with care. I believe that pets would appreciate being cared for by such a loving pet sitter. More than that, I believe that pet parents would feel confident in leaving their pets to be cared for by her.”


13. Raquel S.

“Raquel stayed with our pets for two weeks, and she was excellent. First, I loved how quickly she responded to our request and that she scheduled a meet and greet right away. Raquel was on time for the meeting and took notes while I showed her around. Secondly, I liked that she asked lots of questions and was very comfortable with the dogs/cat. She sent lots of pictures while we gone as well, which made me very happy. Lastly, when we got home, our house was spotless. Raquel also checked with us about our flight to make sure there were no delays or anything. I would highly recommend Raquel to anyone needing pet care.”


14. Suzanne M.

“Suzanne was wonderful! Available last minute and took good care of our dog and cats. We got detailed updates every time they checked in on our pets. Recommend!”


15. Madison S.


“Madison was absolutely fantastic!! This was my first time using Rover, and she did nothing but help ease my mind about it. She sent me constant pictures of how all my animals were doing, and she even got stuck with the maintenance man coming in and cutting holes in my wall to find a leak, and she kept my dog calm. I will absolutely book with her again, and she just had such a good vibe and such a good energy to her that my animals all loved and were automatically drawn to!”


16. Diana L.

“Diana is great! Communicative and reliable. She house and dog sat for a weekend and I knew everything was in good hands. Highly recommend.”
