“They went above and beyond in taking care of our Tinkerbell, a senior german shepherd with hip problems. They updated us on how she was doing and sent us pictures daily.”
“Adrienne and her son Akiro were amazing!! They took great care of my cat Poppy. In fact, I'm kinda jealous cuz Poppy misses them! Overall, it was a very safe and welcoming environment for my cat and I could not be happier. Adrienne also sent updates with photos of Poppy, which i enjoyed a lot. Job well done for sure <3”
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little unsure about leaving my dogs for the day since my dogs can get very anxious when left alone or in unfamiliar situations. Darlene did an amazing job of making them feel right at home. She kept me updated through the day and sent tons of photos which helped put my mind at ease.”
“Being my first time utilizing a dog sitter, hours nervous and apprehensive Alexis made it so easy and the communication was great and she sent pictures while I was away and made the whole experience easy and beautiful. More importantly, my dog Maddie had a great time I think she was on vacation.”
“Kendra is the best! She is wonderful with our goldendoodle Jessie. I never have to worry about our girl while she is in Kendra's care. Shout out to Chico who is also great host and friend who always makes Jessie feel welcomed!”
“Angela was wonderful! She took such a good care of our dog. While we were away for so long she kept us updated everyday sending pictures & videos. We had a great experience with her and definitely will come back. Thank you, Angela for your service!”
“Mila has been such a good sitter for our pup Oona.. She never failed to communicate and gave us updates everyday which I really appreciate and gave a peace of mind while we are away. Oona was one happy dog when we picked her up which shows that she had such a good time during her stay. Will definitely recommend her and will book her again.”
“We are so grateful to Galady for taking such good care of our furry BFF! We know he was in very good hands, hanging out in a household that clearly loves and understands dogs. We appreciated the clear communication throughout his stay and throughout the booking process.”
“Ann is the BEST!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups for more than a day; I was sooo nervous!! But Ann made me and my pups feel so comfortable right from the intro meeting!! I have an older Chiweenie who was abused and doesn't do well with people and new situations...Ann showed me pictures daily and was very responsive each time I reached out. My baby was getting pets, and sitting right beside her!! She knew her medical issue the moment i mentioned it. My other baby, a teacup Pom is very clingy, and and needs walking every day. Had pictures daily of her sitting on the doggy bed or getting attention. Now, at home, she's a little less clingy!! Ann is 5 stars!!”
“Daniel and Huang are so patient with our two puppies while we are still working on training. They have a great set up for dogs and wonderful backyard for them to run around. Our dogs didn't seem to even care that we left lol the drop off and pick up was so seamless, it seemed to cause zero stress on our dogs, almost like they were on vacation too! I have peace of mind with them and they're now our go-to dog sitters. 10/10 recommend.”
“We could not say enough good things about Maryse and our dogs time with her. He is usually very anxious with new people and doesn’t normally have an appetite until he gets comfortable. I can tell he was happy and comfortable through out his stay from the pictures of him happily going on walks, relaxing, and eating every meal he was given. I was almost afraid he might not want to come home afterward! We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy dog sitter to leave their baby with!”
“Doh provided an amazing service for my dog. I normally hired her for house sitting at my home in the past. I decided to try out her boarding service at her house. I was so happy with the service she provided for my fur baby. Her home set up for dog is perfect for all size of dogs and it’s doggies safe house. I would recommend to anyone for her pet sitting services. Thank you Doh for taking great care of Rocky!!”
“Maddy was amazing! She sent frequent updates and pictures and took our Mollie girl on lots of walks! Mollie came home exhausted and happy! We will definitely use them in the future 🤍”
“I was very impressed with Wyne. She really has great customer service skills. She was very patient and gentle with our very shy dog, Luna. She sent me pictures throughout the evening of Luna and kept me apprised. Next time we need any type of dog services, I would not hesitate to contact Wyne again.”
“Victoria is so personable and puts you at ease the minute you meet her. Max stayed with Victoria for over a week and he received excellent care and came home very happy. We received updates with pictures and we were so happy to receive them while away. I highly recommend her to care for your pet whether it is daycare or boarding. Victoria is 10/10 and we will definitely use her again.”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
“Nadezhda (Nadia) and Alex are an awesome couple who welcomed Kenta as the newest member of their family. Kenta was loved, cared for, and pampered by the entire family. Alex and Nadia shared great pics and videos daily letting us see how content our big boy was with them. I recommend them highly.”
“If you’re looking for a safe, secure and fun place to board your dog, take them to Julia’s. We took our Lab Daisy for an overnight stay and I can honestly say that I had no worries whatsoever. Julia and her family are very sweet. Their home is very spacious and the outdoor areas are amazing. Lots of room for your pet to run and explore with great little areas for your pet to rest as well. I can tell Daisy had LOTS of playtime with playing fetch and running around the yard because she came home ready to nap! Julia kept me updated with pictures and assured me that Daisy was fitting in well with the other dogs, which I appreciate. We will definitely book with Julia again. She was wonderful! I give her 5 Stars!”
“Andrea took such good care of my cat while I was away. She cleaned her bowls and everything before I came to pick her up. I felt good about leaving knowing my kitty was in good hands.”
Gold River dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexis and her family have watched our Golden Retriever twice now. They take such great care and treat her as their own. Bella is so excited to see them and knows where we are headed when we are in their neighborhood. She comes home tired and I couldn’t ask for a better family to watch her.
Marian did an amazing job caring for my dog Charlotte for five nights in my home. She was professional and respectful throughout. Although it was my first time meeting someone through the Rover website, upon meeting her, she had my full trust. Charlotte is a very active dog and can be a handful. Marian took her to the dog park every day and kept her busy with play time in the evening. She communicated with me regularly and sent photos so I didn't have to worry. I am sure Charlotte missed us, but we came home to a happy dog. I feel lucky to have found a person to help us care for Charlotte who is as kind and knowledgeable as Marian. I hope to have her dog sit for me again in the future.
Jennifer was amazing with our puppy Juniper. She took such great care of her. You can tell she loves dogs and is great with them based on how well behaved her own are. We appreciate the extra care and attention she provided for our puppy and will most certainly book with her again. We also loved the photos and videos sent while we were away. Thank you Jennifer!
Natalie was warm, sweet, and took GREAT care of our girl. She is extremely competent and even watched our elderly dog who was in the middle of a gastroenteritis flair up requiring medication and close watching as she’s been super sick. I will DEFINITELY use Natalie again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Natalie for the peace of mind leaving Lila overnight with you while she has been so sick!! So grateful to have found you 💕
This was our dog’s second stay with Lin and Sebastian. This time our dog stayed 4 days/ 3 nights. They are very nice, great communicators and definitely put the dog first. Very accommodating and very knowledgeable about dogs. We appreciate even taking our dog out for walks, playing fetch and sending us updates and photos. Highly recommend these two very high quality sitters.
Maryse is a lovely lady who provided excellent care for our small dog. She took our dog on walks and sent pictures daily and kept us informed of her eating and drinking habits. At the end of our time away we went to Maryse's home to pick up our dog and Maryse met us at the door with our dog in her arms. Our dog looked so comfortable, happy, and calm. We most definitely recommend Maryse as a kind and patient person to care for your loved dog.
