“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Kristen and the outstanding care she provided for our dog, Luna. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and professional—always quick to reply to messages and happy to answer any questions. While we were away, Kristen sent daily updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear Luna was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Knowing our dog was in such capable hands made all the difference. We will absolutely ask Kristen to watch Luna again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was great with my 3 dogs who have never been boarded at someone else’s house and two of them were a little nervous. They came around in no time, had the choice of sleeping with her if they wanted to, lots of room to play, and got along great with her dogs. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Paul was great to work with. I loved all the photos and updates he shared during our time away. Georgia immediately felt welcomed and was excited to be in Paul’s home.”
“Colleen is AMAZING I 100% recommend. I am always hesitant about leaving my golden retriever with someone, considering how hyperactive he can be… but Colleen reassured me that this was no problem and made me feel at ease with how much experience she has with dogs! She is also super kind and easy to get along with. She sent me updates while on my trip to Seattle and communicated extremely well!”
“KC’s home was tidy and she had a fenced yard. She sent daily updates and a photo on how our dog was doing. She was kind and genuinely enjoyed time with our dog. I will use her doggy sitting services again. Thanks KC for making us feel at ease while we were away 🤗”
“We had a wonderful experience with Emily. Coconut was comfortable very quickly, which was a relief. Emily also sent us immediate feedback so we could start our vacation worry-free. We got lots and lots of pictures - so fun to see Coconut zooming around the yard or crashed out on Bowie's bed. Also- I made a mistake on the booking dates, paying for one extra night, and Emily caught the mistake and fixed it immediately. This was my best experience with Rover yet. If she's available, I wouldn't use anyone else!”
“The absolute best Rover sitter experience ever! Angela stopped by prior to confirming the booking to meet with us and our pups. When it was dog sitting time, she picked up our pups in her car and her back seat had a dog bed type item that provided both safety and comfort. We received regular updates throughout our trip inclusive of both photos and videos! She gave our pups regular walks, individualized for their needs: a slow walk for our senior dog and a more training-focused walk for or two-year old dog who has serious focus issues, but he's so much better now!!!! On a personal level, Angela is a very pleasant person: elegant, calm demeanor, attentive to details, communicative, caring, and definitely a doggie lover. Needless to say, we look forward to becoming repeat clients :)”
“Kristopher and his partner are so nice and were very good to my dog! You can tell that they genuinely care about each pet they watch and will 100% rebook them in the future.”
“Emily and Erik have been wonderful with our dog Blitz. Blitz loves to come play with their dog Lennox and we get updates and are never concerned about leaving him in their care. Definitely recommend this family for your dogs care.”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“Jared’s experience being a vet tech really shows. He’s communicated daily throughout the stay, and our puppy (who’s usually destructive) was calm and entertained the entire time. Looking forward to the next stay with him”
“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Danielle made it so easy to make a last minute beach trip happen, and was so communicative and easy going the whole way. Amazing yard space that my dog just loved!!”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Gary and Carol. Our pup fit in with their household right away, it's so nice knowing she was in great hands while we were away. Drop off and pick up were a breeze, and we appreciated the photo updates! Ideal stay!”
Government Island dog parents share their Rover experiences
The best sitters we have had for our dogs. My golden retriever is getting palliative chemotherapy and has quite a few meds and other needs and I was nervous leaving him for 3 nights. They had no issues with providing the care that Arnie needed and gave me plenty of updates to reassure me. They went on walks, played with the sitters dog, and slept wherever they wanted. An added bonus-the pictures they took were amazing!!!

Michelle and her family were so lovely! They took such good care of our baby boy. He is such an anxious fella, and quite a character. Michelle gave updates on how he was doing, sent cute photos of him throughout our trip, and gave us some observations of how he does with his anxiety, since he was newly adopted and we weren’t sure of some of his behaviors yet. We would highly recommend Michelle and we will definitely have her watch Howie again in the future!
