“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Castor had a great time with Sharon and Michael, and the other dogs. They are knowledgeable and trustworthy. Their availability is very helpful”
“Sunny really seemed to be enjoying himself at Ashely’s home. She was such a quick communicator and sent lots of great photos. Will be using her again for sure!”
“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Very loving and caring to my pup. Demonstrates professionalism and excellence in providing customers needs. She provides a comfortable second home to my fur child. I'd recommend to anyone who has a busy work life and out of town obligations.”
“Sarah was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates everyday of our pups. Her home was great with a nice fenced yard. We knew our boys were well taken care of. She was extra accommodating to us extending our trip by a few days. Thank you thank you Sarah!”
“Crystal was terrific. Plenty of room roam and friends for our pup to play with. Super communicative with updates and pictures. Highly recommended.”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“Kip always comes home happy and well-behaved after staying with Huw and Jolynne. I'm grateful I can drop him off and know he is taken care of and having a good time while we are away.”
“Most professional rover sitter we have experienced. She truly cares for the well-being of our fur baby and we would consider ourselves (and Chordae) lucky to continue working with her!”
“Julie was awesome again. Finn had a great time. She always provides lots of pictures and was able to help my puppy through a bought of diarrhea while I was out of town. When I went to open the car door to load Finn up and go home after his stay, he ran back to their front door, sat down, and looked at me wanting to get back to his friends :). I will definitely reserve time with them again when I need it.”
“Hawkin was amazing with OG!!! We received daily pictures/updates. Our flight back was delayed by two days and it wasn’t a problem for Hawkin at all. Hawkin made a stressful moment in our trip so much better knowing that OG would be taken care of and we didn’t need to worry. Thanks a million and I will absolutely be booking Hawkin again.”
“This is our first time using Rover, and we struck gold with Emily. It is difficult to leave a beloved dog with a stranger so we arranged a pre-travel meet & greet to ensure our pet’s need would be met—frequent walks, love, and attention. She brought her dogs and they made one big happy pack. Just before we left, our dog developed a limp. Emily was extra cautious with him and he was all better when we returned 5 days later. She was great about sending multiple daily photos and texts to keep us updated. We are very grateful to have found someone like her and will definitely ask her to watch him again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Danielle. She communicated very well with us. She sent us pictures and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She seems like she truly is an animal lover. I think our dog was a little nervous when we left him because it was with somebody new but when we came back, he didn’t wanna leave her !”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”

Nadia was awesome with our older pupper. This being the first time, in his over 10 years, that he has been watched by anyone not on our own home. She made him feel at home and a very happy pup. She sent us little updates and plenty of pics showing all the fun and engaging things our dog got to do. This was great and kept our mind at ease since this was his first time with a stranger. I would definitely entrust my dog with her again.
