4. Steffany & Juan S.

“This was the second time we had Steffany and Juan watch Lyric and they were great. They’re great at updating me and sending pictures of how she is doing. Lyric loves being around their dog and always has a good time. Definitely will continue using them for future bookings.”


5. Rosa A.

“I cannot express my gratitude enough for the genuine care that Rosa and her daughters gave to my sweet Nyla. Rosa sent me pictures and videos the entire stay. She went above and beyond, by giving my Nyla a bath per request and administering her meds and special diet as carefully requested as well.”


6. Kevin & Julie C.

“Highly recommend Kevin & Julie! It was our Labrador Retriever 's first time away and with a sitter outside of our home. They kept us informed, super easy to work with when our flight had an unexpected delay, and took amazing care of our boy. We appreciate them so much”


7. Anton S.

“That was my first time with Rover and Anton did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your pet. I got daily updates and pictures of Ernie, and he looked like he was well taken care of. Thank you so much for everything Anton!!!!”


8. Alayna W.

“Alayna took exceptional care of my 4 yo, very active, GSP. We will be using this service again in a couple weeks and we’re so happy to have found the perfect sitter.”




9. Dana & Jonathan M.

“My dog had a better vacation than I did! I received photos and a video showing him having a great time and we definitely found his second home. I know he's looking forward to my next vacation!”


10. Heather O.

“Heather was great at taking care of Milo. This is the first time he was ever boarded and Heather treated him like her own pet. Will definitely use her again!”


11. Lauren W.

“Lauren (and friends 🐾) were great! It was my first time using the app and leaving Echo with new people and she made it seamless. She was responsive from the time I initially inquired and throughout the stay. Echo can be timid around other dogs and she gave full attention to introducing her to the pack in a mindful way as to not be overwhelming. Lauren is definitely on the ‘friends list’ for future stays when needed ☺️”


12. Amanda V.

“Amanda was super responsive and excellent at communicating throughout the entire process. When I picked up Chloe, she was extremely content and not anxious at all, which made me confident she was in good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”


13. Pam & Michael A.

“Terrific environment for our French Spaniel 'Sanza' to stay over for play, exploring, and even chill. We intend to use Pam and Mike again for our short and long trips, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, clean, and attentive home.”


14. Kalonji B.

“We were very happy that Kalonji was able to take Tinker Bell on such short notice! Not only that but this was right before the 4th as well! Kalonji was very easy to work with, we brought our cage on request and was able to deal with feeding and walking instructions no problem. Highly recommended, would book again!”




15. Stephanie A.

“These two ladies are amazing! I am really particular about who I leave my Charlie with but I got a really good gut feeling about Stephanie and Lindsay right from the start. Having a video chat as a pre meet and greet and in person meet and greet with the dogs put my mind at ease right away! I could go away knowing my furbaby was in good hands and would have fun with Dax all weekend! They sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me updated! I just adore these two ladies and their pup! Highly recommend!”


16. Heather J.

“Excellent as always! Kept me posted with pictures and updates. Even walked my old pup before the fireworks so he wouldn’t get scared! Heather is ours and our dog’s favorite!”


17. Lorrie H.

“Lorrie has been taking care of my two German Shorthair Pointers for over a year. I consider myself very lucky to have found her. Simba and Gypsy just love her. Lorrie is very considerate and there have been times that something came up and she was very flexible and either spent extra time with my babies or stayed all night with them. Lorrie is truly a rare find. :)”


18. Phillip James & Maria L.

“If you want your dog truly loved & cared for, BOOK Phillip & Maria!!! Bodhi had THE BEST TIME: walks, cuddles, new dog friends. We got a video every day & Maria replied within 10 minutes any time I messaged. I can't say enough good things-- we've had some sketchy Rover sitters and Phillip & Maria restored our faith. Our boy was with them 5 days, he ate well, and slept like a rock. 10/10 highly recommend and we will be booking with them again!!!”


19. De’Andra & Robert W.

“De’Andra was amazing and sent pictures all throughout the day for this anxious dog mom! Super communicative and couldn’t have asked for a better person to look out and play. Walter enjoyed himself and made a new furry friend, Crosby, as well!”


20. Gabriella S.

“This was my first time using the Rover app and my friend recommended Gabriella. I am so thankful she watched my Jensen. He warmed up to her right away and she took beautiful photos of him and updated me on how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and kind pet sitter. :)”
