“Emily, Patrick, and Conan took wonderful care of our dog Bella while we were out of town. She was a part of their family for her stay, and I received regular updates (and adorable photos!). I would highly recommend trusting this family with your dog. I will be happy to book with them for future trips.”
“Appa had such a great time with Peter and Serena! He instantly became best friends with their sweet pup, Google. Peter and Serena kept me updated with pictures and were always quick to answer any questions, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave Appa. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for amazing dog sitters!”
“Rochelle and her husband took such good care of our senior dog. She kept us updated on his adventures while we were traveling. I know that he enjoyed him time with them! Thanks for taking such good care of him. It was a pleasure.”
“This was my first time using rover, I did not know what to expect. Ketaki did a great job taking care of 2.5 years old dachshund pup. We had a brief meeting before it started to making sure my dog gets along with her own dog. She also sent lot of pictures and videos daily to let me know my pup’s doing. She showed lots of affection and care to my pup, I really appreciate that. I would recommend Ketaki to any dog parents!”
“This was my second time with Kristen, and once again, it was a great experience! Lilah was extremely happy to see her n her kids again. I received plenty of photos, videos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Xumei is an excellent communicator providing updates each day. She was very attentive to Arthur who looked like he was very comfortable in her care. I highly recommend Xumei as a sitter.”
“My dog had a great time under Masumi's care. She is great communicator and her setup was ideal. My dog got everything he needed and more -- other dogs to play with, safe and comfortable environment to relax in, and kind, caring people. We got photos and videos everyday. Within a day or so, it was clear from his facial expression that my dog felt safe and loved.”
“Tunyi was awesome!!! Our pup loved her and her family. Sent us texts and videos the entire time while we were gone and we just knew Flo was being loved on❤️”
“We had a great experience with Zhiling! She is reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of our dog. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our baby was in such good hands.”
“Watched my senior dog (14.5 years old) for 11 days. She requires medication, is partially blind, and deaf. Fiona sent pictures and video updates while I was on vacation. I was nervous about leaving her, but relaxed after seeing the updates. I would book with Fiona again.”
“Sreymom was absolutely wonderful! She sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dogs were truly cared for, and I felt totally at ease. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
“Mckenna was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and we felt very safe leaving our little guy with her. Upon pickup, Diego seemed relaxed and refreshed...he said he had a great time! ;-)”
“Absolutely amazing! I've never felt so calm leaving my dog with anyone before! Lisa does a fantastic job communicating everything about our dog's day, and obviously takes sitting very seriously. She's knowledgeable, experienced, and a super sweet person to boot ! Piper was definitely living her best life with Lisa!”
“Dmytro, was punctual in responding to me needing a booking last minute. He carved out time to come meet my dog before accepting the booking. He communicated with me via pictures and messages when I was gone which is always a joy. Will definitely use again and recommend.”
“Cheng did an excellent job caring for our dog, Kuma, once again. He made sure Kuma got plenty of exercise and walks throughout his stay, and we really appreciated the frequent updates. It was clear Kuma was having a wonderful time. He came home happy, energetic, and clearly well cared for. (:”
“Absolutely great experience! Junnan was super responsive and sent me photos of my little guy all throughout the day. I could tell he was very comfortable and well attended to which made me feel so much better about being away. My flight was delayed twice and she was so understanding and accommodating. When I picked up my babe he was super relaxed and calm which he is usually high anxiety so that was great to see! I will definitely be rebooking next time, I highly recommend! :)”
Houghton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly went above and beyond with my little Mac, he is an anxious rescue dog who needs a lot of love and patience! She sent me so many updates during the stay, loved him like he was her own and took him on super fun adventures with Champ! Kelly and David are kind, caring and extremely attentive people who love dogs. Mac came back happy and so tired from all the playtime! She is a top tier sitter and I had zero worries while I was away. 10000/10 stars!
Christina was amazing and everything was super smooth! From meet and greet to drop off and pick up, everything was a breeze. I can tell Christina put a lot of care to Belli, and Kuma became an awesome buddy and host. Loved seeing two corgis hanging out! Christina provided plenty of pictures sent consistently everyday. Thanks Christina!
Alan was very caring and considerate for our aging dog Dorothy, and made sure she was comfortable at his home for 3 weeks. He also keenly observed Dorothy's behavior throughout the stay, and gave us good updates/pictures on how she was doing. I would recommend Alan for future stays.
Luisa was the perfect Rover for Winston. You can tell she really loves dogs and treats them like family. I felt very at ease knowing not only was he first and foremost safe, but he was also getting all the love and attention I could hope for. From the meet and greet to throughout the stay, Luisa was very responsive and communicative. We received lots of updates and pictures which were all greatly appreciated. I cannot recommend Luisa enough! Your pets are in great hands in her care.
Chalene and her family took such amazing care of our 1.5 year old Golden Retriever over the holidays! Our dog felt so at home with her and had so much fun playing with her dog, Ruca! We appreciated the daily photos and videos and the extra love she put in to caring for Poppy by giving her a Christmas stocking with a new favorite toy. We loved knowing that she was in such good hands going on walks, getting play time, and cuddles from her and her sweet family! We would definitely recommend Chalene as a dog sitter and would love to have Poppy stay in their care again.
Anzhelika was an awesome sitter. My fur baby is very anxious and scared of new people but he seemed to enjoy spending time with Anzhelika and her husband. He seemed relaxed and like he never left home. We appreciate her taking care of our baby and sending lots of updates!
Laura and her family were absolutely amazing while taking care of Kona for me over Christmas. Kona is 12 and it is always hard leaving her especially with her heart meds routine. Laura was just wonderful. She sent me photo updates of Kona settling in as well us messages on how she was doing. She and her family got Kona a Christmas present and allowed her to "steal" one of the family gifts while she was there. In all the pictures I could tell Kona was very relaxed and just blending with the family. I'm so grateful for Laura and family giving Kona such amazing care!!!
