“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”

“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Dustin was very flexible and my puppies loved him. He sent me daily updates and my dogs were very calm when i picked them up. We will definitely use Dustin again.”

“Abigail was amazing - Lucy (our corgi) had a wonderful time. I'm not sure she was ready to come home! I really appreciated Abigail's text and pics of their time together. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care.”
“Madigan had another great long weekend stay with Kelly and Zac! The updates are always fun and I know she is taken well care of, Madigan just zooms right in during drop off!”
“Stacey did an amazing job taking care of our beloved dog, Lady. We were initially nervous about leaving Lady with someone new, but Stacey quickly put our minds at ease with her professionalism and genuine love for animals. Throughout our time away, Stacey provided regular updates and even sent us adorable pictures of Lady, which made us feel connected and reassured that she was in good hands. It was evident that Stacey went above and beyond to ensure Lady's comfort and happiness while we were away. Stacey followed our instructions diligently, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and administering any necessary medications. Lady seemed incredibly content and well-cared for when we returned home, and we could tell she had formed a bond with Stacey. Not only did Stacey take care of Lady's basic needs, but she also provided her with extra attention and affection. She took the time to play with Lady and give her the exercise she needed, which was fantastic. We highly recommend Stacey as a pet sitter. Her dedication, reliability, and love for animals truly set her apart. It's such a relief to know we have someone like Stacey to trust with our furry family member when we're away. Thank you, Stacey, for taking such great care of Lady!”
“My little dog felt so comfortable there. As we were approaching the house, I could see he was happy to have the door open, and he immediately walked in and felt right at home. Kathryn has a house full of love and two little dogs that are both welcoming also thank you for taking care of my dog”
“Myria was a great dog sitter. She is very friendly/ communicates well. She watched my 9 month old puppy for 10 days and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Myria and her family. I highly recommend her.”
“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”
“Brenna welcomed our beagle on his first stay away from us. Her chill manner and gentle encouragement made me feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend to others and rebook again myself.”
“Patrick and his family were wonderful with our pup, Tucker. Patrick sent regular updates and took great care of Tucker. We appreciate you and your family very much!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with 👻! They sent regular updates and photos, which totally put me at ease while I was away. 👻 came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Emily genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. Will definitely be booking again—highly recommend!”

I cannot recommend Tracy highly enough! It is such a relief to find someone who truly understands dog behavior and treats every pup like their own. The facility is clean and secure, and I love receiving the photo updates throughout the day. My dog comes home happy, well-socialized, and ready for a long nap. Five stars isn't enough!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
