“Thank you so much Summer for taking such good care of my baby! I loved seeing the photos and videos every day and she was so nice about letting us visit ahead of time which put my anxiety at ease. Will definitely book with Summer again next time I gotta go out of town !”

“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

“Stephanie was awesome with my puppy and was very flexible with pick up times! He had the best time with her dogs and she made she he was comfortable the entire stay. I would highly recommend!”

“Chelsea is amazing with responsiveness and attentiveness. I felt very sure that my dog was being taken care of appropriately and lovingly while away on vacation. She sends updates and makes sure your pet is also happy while you’re away.”

“We LOVE sending our little guy to Roselie & Kevin! He always has such a great time and I truly feel like he’s safe with them. He gets scared very easily and he always seems to happy with them! They send updates and constant pictures which makes me so happy. Would recommend them any day!”

“Karin took great care with my 5 month old puppy, sent photos and was great at communicating what Daisy was doing. It was nice that her dog got along with the puppy and she had a great backyard for the dog to run and play. You can tell that her and her husband love dogs. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. :)”

“We took our little dog to Mariia for the first time. She kept in touch to let us know how she was doing, and we were very happy with the way she cared for her. We will be using her again!”


“Alexandria was wonderful with Sophie. She clearly loves dogs. She gave Sophie lots of loving and sent pics daily. I will definitely be adding her to my list of favorites for watching my baby.”

“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”

“After meeting Michael and Regina, I had no doubt they were going to take care of my girl just like they would their own pups! They were so sweet with my pup and we will be rebooking with them. My dog had such a great time running around with her new friends she slept the whole next day! They even gave us a gift for her, so sweet. Thanks for giving me peace of mind she was in good hands!”

“Angel is my go to sitter for my cat. She is quick in responses when answering questions and is always providing updates to give that reassurance that my cat is doing well. I would recommend her for anyone looking to leave their pet with a trust worthy sitter.”

“Swetha and family take the best care of Toby. She sends pictures and updates frequently and responds immediately. This was Toby’s third stay and we will definitely board with Swetha again.”

“Roza and her family were so great with our dogs and showed them so much love. We got multiple daily updates with photos so we felt they were in great hands. Would rebook in a heartbeat!”

“Great stay for my senior dog. Christine paid attention to my senior dog and recognized when she needed to spend time alone. My dog is an only pet and I didnt know how she would do with other pets and christine made sure she had time alone to chew her bone in peace even though I didnt even know to ask her for that. Overall, great stay and I'm sure we'll be booking with christine again for our next trip.”

“Riya was the very best dog and house sitter! I felt so very at ease knowing she was there. She brought her wonderful dog too-at our request. And sent lots of pics of our smiling pup! Highly recommend! Thank you Riya!!”

Independence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jason was fantastic – it was clear when we first met him that he cares so much about animals! We lost our old sitter of 4 years, so we were worried about finding a new one. But Jason watched our pup for 9 days, and it was an amazing experience! He was always in communication, sent daily photos, and took such great care of our Jack Russel. Our little guy came home well rested (he had clearly had his own vacation staying with Jason)! We highly recommend him and will be using him in the future!

Dee was wonderful! She recently cared for our energetic hound in her home for a week while we were away. She asked great questions to get to know our dog before we booked with her, did a meet and greet with her dogs and our pup, and made sure our doggo was comfortable throughout his stay. She sent lots of photo and video updates so we knew our pup was well taken care of throughout the week. Would gladly book again and recommend her to others looking for a responsive, experienced, and responsible caregiver for their pets!
