1. Adriana P.
“Adriana and her family took such good care of Tippy! She sent a ton of photos and videos, and I could tell he was having a blast with them. She was also very communicative, asked questions to make sure she understood his care instructions, and did everything to make sure our dog was comfortable. I’m sure Tippy can’t wait to hang out with them again! :)”
2. Nalix T.
“Nalix was great with my boy Bentley, very understanding and a true dog person. I was provided pics, which I always appreciate and was glad to see my boy looked happy. My dog is a senior and Nalix was very patient and kind with him, I felt very assured while I was away for a couple of days.”
3. Gil O.
“Gil had great communication throughout the stay. Drop off and pickup were very smooth. We consistently received photos and believe our dog had a wonderful time! Thank you!”
4. Alan & Ying C.
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
5. Dana R.
“Dana was able to help us out last minute and was great at communicating and keeping us updated regularly. Anytime I had a question or checked in he was very responsive. Our pup was in great spirits when we got back and seems like he had a great time with Dana.”
6. Alexandra & Kayomars B.
“Alexandra and Kayi are a lovely couple and great sitters. They were really easy to communicate with and we're flexible with my schedule. I received consistent daily updates with photos from them and from what I can tell, my pup Sesame loved hanging out with them as well. Will definitely be booking with them again when possible!”
7. Anthony C.
“Ruby had a terrific stay with Anthony. He is very responsive throughout the booking process and sent me pictures during the stay to set my mind at ease. Anthony went above and beyond calming Ruby when the 4th of July fireworks spooked her. Thanks again! This was our 2nd time using Anthony and already have another visit booked.”
8. Princess & Maximillian S.
“Best dog sitter EVER. My dog loves people, but she truly fell in love with Princess and Max— to the point that whenever I brought my dog close to their apartment she was pulling on the leash to get to them faster. I can tell how warmly they treated my dog and I couldn’t be happier. They also took amazing pictures!”
9. Jieming C.
“Jieming and his wife Lauren were so wonderful with our pup! They sent lots of updates showcasing chester on fun outdoor adventures, they made sure their home was dog friendly and set up perfectly for chesters stay. Chester came home so happy!! Thanks Jeiming and Lauren!”
10. Alyson B.
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”
11. Louisa R.
“Louisa was great with my pup Mars. He isn't used to children so we had a meet and great with her boys and I could watch her manage their engagement with Mars while I could reward Mars for positive responses. I got lots of photos and updates and Mars came home from the weekend super happy and tired out!”
12. Winn C.
“When our normal boarding spot filled up for the holidays, we were rushing to figure out a sitting situation for Bella. Bella can be aggressive towards other dogs, so we were hesitant to leave her with someone new, however Winn seemed like the best sitter we could have asked for. Winn responded promptly, and we set up a time to meet beforehand; the whole thing effortless. Within seconds, Bella found a tennis ball and was sitting by Winn's side for pets. Winn sent us several photos during his time watching Bella, and it was clear that she was having a great doggie vacation! We'll be sure to reach out if we ever need a sitter again!”
13. Rebecca Y.
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
14. Claire L.
“Although my dog has had multiple sitters and has never had a problem, for some reason he did not do well with this sitter. It is not clear why. Claire notified me that she would like me to pick up my dog. I was in London and it took time to make arrangements for alternate care. Claire was very patient and kind about keeping Otto until I was able to get him picked up.”
15. Maryanne O.
“MaryAnne treated my dog SO well the week I was away. She took him on at least two long walks each day, and sent plenty of cute pictures along the way. You can tell when your dog has had a great week. And mine certainly did. Picked him up with a huge smile on his face. Highly recommend MaryAnne with her high level of experience.”
16. Annie J.
“Annie and the family were warm and inviting to Ellington and I. I didn’t get a chance to meet them before sitting for Ellington, but I felt comfortable leaving Ellington. They got us acclimated with no rush.”
17. Jo & Adam C.
“Jo & Adam were very responsive during booking and kept us updated with lots of pictures of our dog. Our dog certainly had a great time staying with them and trying out the best spots to take naps around their place.”
18. Kaitlyn D.
“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”
19. Suzanne T.
“Wonderful experience for both us and our dog. Suzanne was communicative and receptive to Oscar’s needs.”
20. Tyler S.
“excellent dog sitter! Flexible and patient with my schedule and Dog needs. I didn't have to worry at all. My dog had a blast at the dog park and going for various walks and making friends. Responsive, kind, considerate, responsible, caring, highly recommend.”
