“It was our first Rover for our 8 month old pup and it went well! Kaile went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and receiving updates on how it was going. We highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again!”

“Mo did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog. Mo’s experience showed when asking for every possible detail on how best to care for both animals. Communicated very well, and kept everything nice and clean. Highly recommend.”

“Arantxa was such an amazing sitter! We were in ATX for a week & needed a sitter on NYE & the day after. She was extremely flexible & worked with our schedule as needed & just from how the dogs were with her, I could tell they REALLY bonded with her while in her care! That says so much coming from my 3 with only meeting someone for 2 days. I would HIGHLY recommend Arantxa to anyone in the ATX area who's looking for pet care! Thank you so so much for taking such amazing care of our babies! :) <3”

“We are incredibly grateful for Kimberly's outstanding service and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. Kimberly responded promptly to my request and setup a time to meet us and review the dogs' routines. I was impressed with how generous she was with her time and attention to details. She agreed to stay at our apartment for 4 days to care for our cavies that require a lot of love and attention. She communicated throughout the trip and sent pictures, which helped put us at ease when we saw how happy our dogs were in our absence. They were even snuggled up on the couch the same as if we were home, it was amazing. She left our apartment cleaner than she found it and left no trace of her stay. I highly recommend her exceptional service!”

“Caroline was great and Simba loved her. Super caring and communicative and would highly recommend for anyone requiring in-house sits along with any other services. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Jewel was an amazing caretaker for Bella. She was a clear communicator, showed great care for Bella, and left my home spotless at her departure. More importantly Bella loved her and was very happy to spend time with her.”

“Matt did the preview to ensure we had a good match and was on time and ready for my two dogs. Everything went smoothly and the dogs were happy to let me know it was a good sit!”

“Yuliia was so sweet and sent so many pictures of our babies while we were away! She truly took care of them like they were her own. We could truly enjoy ourselves knowing our girls were in great hands. Would absolutely book again next time we’re in town!”

“We love Candice so much. She takes care of my pups as her own. Our neighbors see them walking and say she just adores them when I’m traveling. She communicates and just is the best. Will continue to work with her as long as she’s doing this.”


“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“Jaydn was amazing for house sitting and watching Meatball over the weekend! This was our first time leaving him, and she kept us informed with texts and pictures, which definitely put us at ease :) I highly recommend her if you want your pup to be treated like her own!”

“We cannot recommend Woody enough! We’ve never felt fully comfortable leaving town and having someone stay overnight with our dogs—until Woody. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly loved our pups as much as we do. Our dogs adored them so much that I think they were actually a little sad when we got home! 😂 Woody went above and beyond, especially when the dogs decided to have a little adventure in the muddy backyard. They handled cleanup and care of our home perfectly—everything was spotless when we returned. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be booking with Woody again!”

“Misha was super great and even came a few days earlier to meet and greet with the dogs. Was super communicative throughout the time I was away from my girls and made my trip a lot easier! Thanks Misha!!”

“I hired Kelsy to dog sit / home stay for my 8 year old German Shepard mix, Ora. She did a great job and left my place as I left it. Would definitely ask her back.”

“Leeah took such great care of Augie! I loved that she sent updates with pictures on how she was doing, and also left notes before she left on the final day. Would highly recommend her!”

“Blair did a great job of taking care of our 2 dogs. She gave regular updates and made us feel so secure that they were in good hands while we were on our trip.”

Govalle pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was Mo’s second time watching Bonnie. He did an outstanding job with care, precision, and communication. I could tell Bonnie was acting like her playful and active self while I was away - which means I know Bonnie loves Mo too. Bonnie can’t wait until next time!

Jewel was great with my senior pup, Missy! She even found some creative ways to get her to eat, which I’m still doing because it worked so well. Jewel truly cared and I can’t recommend her enough! I was so nervous to leave Missy behind with someone other than family, but she was great and provided updates while I was away.

We were extremely pleased with Sarah’s care and attention she provided to our boys while we were out of town. The pictures she sent confirmed they were well loved and happy. She communicated with us daily on their well being. We were able to enjoy our time away from our boys knowing they were in great hands with Sarah. It was also a bonus coming home to a clean home. Will have her stay with the boys again!

Arantxa was so amazing with Marley ♥️ Marley can initially come off quite stand off ish but Arantxa was so patient and willing to work with and love her through it, we were so grateful! I also have to mention Arantxa’s communication is top tier and gave me SO much piece of mind while away from our girl. Fast replies and consistent updates makes the biggest difference for us dog parents and we were so grateful for that! ♥️

Jaydn was amazing for house sitting and watching Meatball over the weekend! This was our first time leaving him, and she kept us informed with texts and pictures, which definitely put us at ease :) I highly recommend her if you want your pup to be treated like her own!

Corinne did a fabulous job watching our house full of critters. She expertly managed the house, two dogs, and a cat that command a lot of attention, but are in desperate need of human supervision. She sent kindly updates and checked in regularly throughout the stay. She made sure our mischievous fur babies were well taken care of.

Jordan is the best! Always so flexible, great with her communication and updates.. she makes being away feel very comfortable knowing our baby is a great hands. She also went above and beyond to help take care of our home during the freeze while we were away this weekend. We appreciate her help so much and highly recommend!

Alice did such a wonderful job of watching our two pups. She braved a winter storm and kept them warm and comfortable the entire time. We were provided with multiple updates throughout the day and she was always prompt to reply if we had any questions. Alice will absolutely be our first call for our next pup sitting adventure!
