“It was my first time using rover and I was very concerned before I met Karen, she did such a amazing job, I couldn’t be happier, everything was perfect, she also helped me out with the rover website, Hachi loved her and I was very impressed by her knowledge about dogs, thank you so much, on my next travel you will be the first person I’ll contact !!”

“Zachary was amazing! Norman had such a wonderful weekend and I got so many photos of him. I really appreciated that we were able to meet and greet beforehand so Norman could get to know him and his dogs, who were all sweethearts! We will totally be back!”

“Anely was great as always! She was able to accommodate us for a last minute trip and took great care of Ollie in her home. She made it work based on our availability/ timing, for which we are truly grateful. We appreciate her going above and beyond in every way, and for sending lots of updates so we are reassured our pup is doing okay!”

“This was our second time asking Ty to watch our dog, Ollie, for over a week, and it was just as great an experience as the first time! Ty and her entire family are incredibly caring and attentive- they do such a nice job sharing pictures and updates during the stay. They always give Ollie tons of walks, playtime, and love. He is always so happy to visit them and stay over. I could not ask for anything more from a dogsitter. Ty does a wonderful job and creates a perfect environment for pets, with the whole family involved!”

“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Winnie loved her stay with Leanne's and Michael's family. I was nervous at first leaving Miss W with people she had only just met, but when I saw just how much love and attention she was getting from the 2 boys, based on the photos Leanne sent daily, I sure she was getting the greatest of care! Thank you so much Leanne. And Winnie sends thanks to the boys! She can't wait until her next stay with you.”

He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”


“Rafael was incredible with our 14 year old beagle. We are very particular on who we leave our dog with and we felt great about leaving her with Rafael. His home is clean and safe.

I booked Kendra as a sitter for my 2 pups due to an emergency, super last minute. I can be a nervous dog mom, but from the moment we interacted, I knew for a fact she was THE one to care for them! She responded quickly and was flexible with my timeframe. My pups literally ran into her house (never happened before). They can be anxious, but not with her, they settled in immediately. Her house is set up perfectly for comfiness, they slept in her bed and chilled on her couch. One of my dogs can’t use stairs due to surgery and Kendra was on top of it, I truly felt so reassured the whole time. She sent constant updates. They even left her house with new toys and treats she said they enjoyed during their visit! I would recommend Kendra to anyone in the area, I am so lucky she was available and will use her again in the future. She’s a true dog lover and a gem on this app. Honestly I think my pups will just want to go over for a visit lol. 5 stars for sure, thank you!

We cannot recommend Anely enough! She watched our dog Sebastian for two weeks, and as it was Sebastian's first time with a sitter since we recently got him, we were a little nervous leaving him. Anely immediately put us at ease with her clear communication and obvious expertise. It was clear from the start that she truly understands dog behavior, and her attentiveness to detail was impressive. She even noticed Sebastian had a dry nose and addressed it right away. He came home happy and healthy, which honestly says it all. We will absolutely be booking Anely again!!

Isabel was so amazing!! She kept me updated and sent pics every day, and I could tell my pup was having a great time being loved in a safe environment by an awesome family. I’ll absolutely be booking her services in the future when I have to travel because the peace of mind was incredible.

Anne and Joe took wonderful care of our pup, Louie. They kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. They even sent us home with a polaroid photo of Louie, which was such a thoughtful touch! They were trustworthy, communicative, and clearly cared for Louie as if he were their own. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to others! Thank you, guys! (:

Katie took such great care of my pup while I was traveling for work! I greatly appreciated her proactive communication, responsiveness, and consideration. Her genuine love of animals and kindness shines through. She will treat your pup as her own. I highly recommend Katie’s services!

Hello, good afternoon! I would like to thank you for the way Malique took care of our dog Rocky. He is very dear to our family, and we are absolutely sure that he had an excellent stay. Thank you very much, and as soon as we need it again, we will definitely get in touch.

Connie was great with Eli and also very communicative with me, sending updates and photos of my big boy throughout the time that she was watching him. She also took the time to take him for a little walk as it was a beautiful day and overall, Eli seemed very content with spending his day with Connie and we’re looking forward to the next time!
