“So thankful for wonderful dog sitters like Liz. I knew our labrador retriever, Callie, was in great hands when we dropped her off. Liz has a lovely home with a large fenced in backyard. She sent me frequent picture updates, and looked like she was having a ton of fun running around in the backyard, going on walks, and playing inside with toys. We came home to a very happy and content dog. Thanks Liz!”

“Newt had a wonderful time staying with Yun-Chun & Ao-Chang! He got along so well with their Golden Retriever, Google, and came home happy and relaxed. They took great care of him and kept us updated throughout the stay. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave Newt—definitely recommend them!”

“Jan is great! I know she's taking great care of my dog, and she always sends pictures. She's got a great big yard, and my boy is particularly in love with her great dane, Pearl. He comes home happy and in good health!”

“Fiona is an AMAZING sitter! Our dog Leia loved her and was so excited to board with her, which never usually happens. Leia is normally a cautious, reserved dog who is hard to excite, but the day of her stay, she ran into . She sent tons of photos and kept us up to date the whole stay.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Ketaki. She’s caring, responsible, and took great care of Teddy. He was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”

“Robin and her family were great with our dog and super easy to coordinate with. The bottomline question always seems to be: would we board with Robin again? Yes! We plan to.”


“Xiaomeng was amazing sitter for my dog. Super flexible and understanding the situation. Most of all, she is truly enjoying spending time with dogs. Loving and trustworthy animal lover. Highly recommended!”

“McKenna was a wonderful sitter for my dog. She was flexible about drop off and pick up times, communicated right away, and offered my dog a fireworks-free stay on Mercer Island during 4th of July. I recommend her and would use her services again.”


“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”

“Sreymom took really good care of Bailey. We contacted her in last minute and she was available. She is always quick in response and shares multiple pictures of Bailey during the stay. I would definitely book again with her.”

“Our Sophie didn't have much experience staying with non-family members but Joyce was so good with her and very patient, I didn't worry. We really appreciated Joyce helping Sophie feel safe and secure at her house while we were away.”

“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”


“Charmaine is just the BEST. Our shy (but BIG) guy isn’t the easiest to win over, and can be intimidating for those who aren’t really comfortable with big dogs. Charmaine knew exactly how to treat him from day one, and Aggie LOVES her for it.”
“Thanks Garima for sitting Spud again! I appreciate you bringing me daily updates and pictures. I was super confident during my vacations that my dog was with the right people. Spud will miss you for sure but there will be a next time soon!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Rochelle caring for our Sylvia, for a full week. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. Rochelle kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear Sylvia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given plenty of love and attention.”

“Karina is an amazing sitter, she was clear and communicative while watching my golden retriever and always would reach out if anything. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Houghton
This was our first time using Rover and leaving our babies in someone else’s care, so we were a little nervous. Gouxin and Kiki made the experience so much easier for us. They assured us they would send pictures and updates every day, and they truly kept their promise! They sent us pictures, took our babies on daily walks, and treated them like their own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and caring hands. We highly recommend Gouxin and Kiki to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving, and responsible sitters for their fur babies. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of our babies. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾
This was Rue’s second overnight stay with Sandra and when we arrived on Friday evening for drop-off, Rue dragged me to the door in excitement to see her! It is such a relief to know Rue is happy and in safe hands with Sandra and we got lots of great photos + updates of her over the weekend too.

Elena was absolutely amazing with Bruno! From our initial conversation, she gave us great confidence leaving him in her care. She did a great job communicating throughout his stay and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear that Bruno was happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Elena again for future stays.

Thank you Melody for taking care of Lizzo! Melody was a great communicator and kept me up to date with Lizzo, noting when she vomited. Also was very good about phasing introducing her dog and making sure both dogs felt comfortable. Took time to review my detailed care instructions.

We had such a great experience with Panu and Bonnie! They took wonderful care of our dogs and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were attentive, reliable, communicative, and treated our dogs with so much care. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, which is all we could ask for. We would absolutely trust them with our dogs again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!

This is the second time We've asked Billy to look after Coco. Everyone in his family is very friendly and easy going! They took her for walks and sent us updates multiple times a day, we feel completely at ease leaving her with them. We would definitely ask them again!

Jenna did a wonderful job watching Pico for a few days! She was very responsive while watching him and constantly gave us picture and videos. Jenna was able to watch him on short notice and even took special care of his post-op needs. Pico also had a lot of fun playing with Jenna’s pup, Orca!

Great dog sitter! Very reliable, caring, and attentive. They took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated throughout with videos of Logan and how he was doing. Our dog was happy and comfortable, and we felt completely at ease. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

Alan was great with our senior chihuahua mix, even though our separation-anxious dog had an extra hard time adjusting to being boarded in an unfamiliar home. We appreciated all of the communication around this issue, and were reassured by the photos and videos Alan provided to show our dog eventually adjusted and was able to accept affection and relax a bit.

Cindy and her family were great sitters! Our dog had a good time, and there were many opportunities for her to interact with other dogs in safe environments. I received many informative updates that showed how well my dog was doing, and I could see she was content and having a good time. I can't recommend Cindy highly enough and I won't hesitate to look for her availability to care for my dog again the next time I travel.

Frankie had a wonderful time staying with Kellie while I was out of the country. I felt comfortable knowing she was safe and in good hands while I was gone. Knowing she had a friend to play with and a family to love on in my absence made leaving much easier. Thank you Kellie!
