“As this was our first time leaving our newly rescued dog, we were rather nervous. We chose Ivan because he offered consistent monitoring, freedom to explore outside and inside, and doggie playmates of similar size. The stay was even better than we could have hoped for and we were grateful for the daily pictures and regular communication. Our Sally was very well loved while we were gone.”
“We had a great experience with Kelly! She took excellent care of our two dogs for several days and kept us updated throughout the stay. We felt fully at ease while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“We boarded our pup with Kitty and we were nervous as it's our first time using Rover. After meeting Kitty, we could tell she is really experienced in taking care of all types of dogs. When we picked up our pup, he was wagging his tail next to Kitty so we know he had a great time and enjoys being with her. We'll be using Kitty for future boardings!”
“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”
“Felt very reassured during the entire booking. I received constant updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She always asked questions when unsure and was very flexible to make sure my dog got the care he needed. Very fast at responding. Overall great experience.”
“Leeun and her family were one of the best Rover experiences we have had. They are kind and very responsive, easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates on our dog. They were very attentive to his needs, probably giving him more attention and walks than we can at home . We would have them dog sit again in a heartbeat!”
“Cindy took such good care of my dog! She sent photos every day, along with an update of how my doggie was doing. Cindy made sure to give my dog her eye drops twice a day, which isn’t always easy. Between Cindy’s yard and walks, my dog got plenty of outside time and, from the photos, I’m sure she got lots of snuggle time, too. I will definitely book Cindy again to take care of my dog!”
“I’m a new user to Rover and these two have been outstanding for my first experience. They kept me updated with photos and videos on how my dog (Charlie) was doing and how much fun he was having interacting with their dogs. 10/10 would highly recommend again.”
“James and Jasmine are hands-down the best dog sitters we’ve ever used. They are incredibly professional and took the time to understand Toby’s specific routine and needs. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs and treated our Toby as their own. They were super reliable and kept us up to date with Toby's activities and sent us daily pix -- they truly went above and beyond to make sure Toby was comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking them again! Thanks again guys!”
“Nala was so happy to see Meghana when we dropped her off. Nala seems to have so much fun and Meghana sends great updates. We’re grateful to Meghana for being so flexible and communicative about delays in pick up due to unforeseen circumstances.”
“Leticia took such good care of our sweet old girl. We loved the pictures and communication. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Leticia again and will recommend her to friends. Thank you!”
“Michael was fantastic! This was the first time I had left Bojangles for more than an overnight and I had no cause to worry. His communication was constant, and when I picked up Bojangles, it was obvious he had been well cared for. Will definitely be using Michael again.”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Mario was great with our dog Chilli, he sent a lot photos and updates which we really appreciated. She came home very happy, we would definitely use Mario again, thank you!”
“Kiara was great and we would definitely board Ethel with her again. Both she and her kids clearly love dogs and Ethel gave her a nice goodbye on the way out. Kiara was great at communicating honestly how Ethel was doing as she settled in, and Ethel came back happy and relaxed. Thanks so much for taking great care of our old girl!”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Diana and Michael are so great! Our pup has really taken to them, loves playing with their dog and is excited when we drop him off at their place. It makes us feel at ease knowing he is in such good hands, and is enjoying his time while we are away. They both are very conscientious and prompt communicators, and are also flexible as we have been delayed in our travels before and they make it work with adjusted pick up times. We highly recommend them!”
“Anne is wonderful and patient with our senior dog. She really made him feel safe and comfortable as he has such separation anxiety. She sent us so many pictures and updates. She is also so observant with his behavior. Thank you Anne for being such a loving and kind sitter! We appreciate you do much!”

Brandon sends lots of great photos and frequent updates of our boy. We can tell our dog is excited to get dropped off with Brandon and that gives us a lot of confidence and peace of mind! We would definitely recommend Brandon to other owners looking for a dog sitter.
Kitty & Joyce are an absolute lifesaver for Maddie! I usually leave her with my mom-in-law every time my husband and I go on vacation but with a back problem, I ended up searching for a reliable dog sitter. Maddie is not use to stranger but for some reason, she felt at ease with Kitty. She took excellent care of my fur baby and very grateful! Kitty sent me daily pictures of Maddie with her new furry friends while walking in the park. I highly recommend and will book again! Thanks Kitty!
Lauri was really great and took excellent care of our 8 month old puppy Benji! It was very easy to trust her with Benjis care! She made sure he had a lot of both physical and mental exercise throughout the day and shared regular updates. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgable about pups. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect and is very flexible to accommodate their needs and development. She gave us a lot of tips and tricks after spending the weekend with Benji! Highly recommend Lauri! We are excited to keep working with her!

Our dog had the BEST time with Saul this weekend. (I’m surprised she even wanted to come home!) He took her on so many adventures and took such great care of her - and sent loads of pics / updates so we could see all the fun they were having! There was no doubt in my mind that she was in excellent hands, and I know she can’t wait to go back to visit sometime soon!
Leeeeun and her family was so wonderful to our Bonnie. I received updates everyday, multiple times a day, and tons of photos! Communication was great and fast. Above of all, Bonnie really likes her and her family! I definitely will book with her again. As a matter of the fact, my boyfriend wants her to be our regular dog sitter.
Kyle & Stephanie really know and understand dogs - our dog can be complicated, reactive, and slow to trust new people, but they handled him with incredible patience and confidence. It was clear they took the time to understand his personality, and because of that he was relaxed and comfortable very quickly. They also spent a lot of time and energy giving our dog great breed-specific engagement, which he absolutely loved and we could see how happy he was during his stay. Communication was also top-notch.
I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!
I just picked up my dog Marvin after being away for the first time for 3 days. Marvin was happy and so well taken care of! Hikes, walks and lots of play time with their dog who Marvin loves!!! So happy I found Kaitlyn to take care of Marvin! Lots of pictures and videos sent so I knew how happy Marvin was! Thank you again Kaitlyn!!!
Thank you for taking the best care of Rocket and Ruby! We never have to worry when we know our dogs are with you. They have the best time, and we can enjoy our vacation knowing we don't have to feel guilty leaving them behind. Your frequent pictures of them sweetly snuggled up at your place or on beautiful walks always help my children when they are missing Rocket and Ruby too. Thank you for helping us again and again!
