“Sam was great. She sent lots of pictures of Ham. She has a dog Ham can play with. She was very kind and understanding when my flight got delayed and I couldn't pick up Ham at the exact scheduled time. This was my second time using her”


“Betty was a fantastic dog sitter and we recommend her highly. We were a little nervous to leave our dog for a long two week stay given our dog has a bit of stranger danger and it was their first time staying with a sitter in the sitter’s home. Thus, we wanted a sitter who was familiar with dog body language and had a lot of experience. Betty fit those criteria perfectly, was extremely communicative, and sent us frequent updates with pictures everyday. Our dog also really seemed to enjoy Betty’s dog Jacques’s company and they had a fun time playing together daily as well.”

“Michael was amazing with our rottie! Because she has some leash reactivity, we met him beforehand so he could meet her and go for a short walk. You could tell immediately that he loves dogs and was very comfortable with them (especially big dogs). He sent updates and pics/vids while she was with him and we picked up a very happy and tired pup. We will definitely be using Michael again in the future! Thanks Michael!!”

“Paul & Mimi were incredible dog sitters for Toffee! They gave her tons of outside time including walks around the neighborhood. I got daily photos of Toffee enjoying her time. I know Toffee is in good hands when I go out of town! :)”

“Sonia is the best pet sitter I could ever dream of for my precious boy! My miniature dachshund, Deuce, stayed with Sonia for 12 days- the longest I’ve ever left him alone. She put my anxious puppy mama heart at ease by sending SO many photos and updates- I cherished every single one! Most impressively, I let Sonia know that it was my baby’s first birthday mid-stay and to give him a squeeze for me. She HANDMADE a beautiful doggie birthday cake and threw him a puppy birthday party ?? It was so far above and beyond the call of duty but it really made me feel like she cares for my baby as much as I do. Deuce was sad to leave at the end of his stay and can’t wait to come back!”

“Ellen did a fantastic job watching our pup for the weekend. She sent updates and pictures throughout and was extremely responsive. Would absolutely recommend and trust Ellen!”

“Never seen our dog so comfortable and relaxed while boarding. Renee and Chris did an excellent job taking care of our senior dog Islay, who has serious mobility issues. We highly recommend Renee and Chris and we have already booked Islay for another stay with them for next month.”

“Erica was great, super responsive and easy to plan/communicate with. I had no worries while we were away, bonus - my dog got on well with hers! We will happily leave him with her again.”

“Jennifer is communicative and took great care of our pup! Robi enjoyed his stay. I would go back to Jennifer with future boarding needs- 100% recommend to others.”

“As a Rover myself, I'm discerning in choosing caregivers for my service animal, Angel. Samantha recently looked after Angel for the second time, and her care was outstanding. Her understanding and respect for the unique needs of Angel truly set her apart. Her genuine affection for animals is clear, and it's evident that Angel adores her. I highly recommend Samantha for any pet care needs due to her sense of responsibility and compassion. We definitely plan to use her services again!”

“This is the second time we left our mini weenie Marnie with Mark and his family and oh my gosh does she love it! Mark is so great at communicating and sending updates with pictures, usually Marnie lounging in the sun with Toby or going on a beach walk. Honestly, Marnie always seems a little sad to leave Mark’s. Mark and his family are absolutely wonderful and spoil Marnie just as much as we do!”

“Big thanks to Derek & Solip for showing such loving care to our corgi Bonnie. She had so much fun being a Marina girl for the weekend and seemed very comfortable with them. Derek made sure she got her allergy meds every day and even handled a case of giardia that popped up right before we left town. We got lovely pics of her walks on the green every day. I highly recommend and would definitely book them again.”

“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

“David was great! He clearly cared for dog and our needs to make us comfortable. His home was cozy and quiet which for our dog who is anxious was a blessing to keeping her happy and settled. Our dog is on medication and David took care of this for us with no concerns or issues. We also happened to have a very hectic schedule, David was flexible and easy to coordinate with which really made the process so much easier! Thanks, David!”

“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”

“The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.”

“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”

“This was Santana's 2nd stay with Allison, Gordon and Moses. He was very happy and excited to see Allison when we arrived and soon went looking for his BFF, Moses. He's obviously gotten attached to this loving family. Allison was ready to greet Santana when we arrived and had his belongings all packed and ready to go at our appointed pick up time. I feel very much at ease leaving him in Allison & Gordon's care. They show a lot of love and caring to my little guy and are very professional and conscientious. Thank you Allison and Gordon for another great experience. You're the best!”

“Cesar took such great care of our puppy and was super patient and flexible with our changing travel plans. Thank you for making our first trip away from the pup a lovely one.”

Inner Sunset dog parents share their Rover experiences
Had an amazing experience with Molly and Stephen and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They took such great care of my boy, and it was clear from the start that he was in loving, capable hands. Communication was excellent throughout. Timely updates, photos, and thoughtful check ins that gave me total peace of mind. Kobe was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got him back, which says everything. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like their own. Reliable, kind, attentive, and trustworthy. Exactly what you hope for when leaving your dog with someone else. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of Kobe 🤍🐾

Lauren is the most professional and enthusiastic rover we’ve been lucky enough to find in the city. Our golden retriever always has a great time, we get tons of pictures and updates, and we always have peace of mind whenever we leave our pup with her! Highly recommend!

Mikele did an amazing job taking care of Alfredo while I was at work and running errands. Alfredo has severe separation anxiety and Mikele really spent time with him, getting to know him and not leaving him alone. She took him on a couple long walks and was patient with him. Clearly has a love for dogs and cares. Looking forward to using her regularly.

Sara took great care of our pup Cooper! He came back home very tired and content. She sent lots of pictures each day which we appreciated and took time learn about him. It really helped us to relax to know Cooper was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Sara for anyone looking for a kind, knowledgable, and attentive sitter.
