1. Lee J.

“Lee was amazing with our dog, Cleo! She gave great updates and Cleo came back happy and tired from having such a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend!”


2. Sara B.


“Sara was wonderful with Augie, my extremely shy rescue dog! She was very patient and attentive to Augie's needs and helped her feel comfortable being away from home, and I loved getting photos of Augie on walks with Sara's dog Soba. Sara was also great to communicate with -- all around, I highly recommend entrusting your dog to Sara's care!”




3. Kim T.


“My dog Snoopy have always great time with Kim!. She does a lot off funny things with her and her dogs. She can't wait for the next visit:)”


4. Danielle M.

“I can't thank Danielle enough for the incredible care she provided for my puppy while I was away for my wedding and honeymoon! For two weeks, she went above and beyond to ensure my furry friend was happy and healthy. Danielle sent frequent updates, which really put my mind at ease during such a busy time. She even took the extra step to care for my puppy when she developed ear mites, administering medication and keeping her comfortable. When I returned, my puppy looked absolutely adorable in a cozy hoodie and a festive Halloween scarf! I highly recommend Danielle for anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals truly shine through. Thank you, Danielle, for taking such wonderful care of my puppy!”


5. Alexandra O.

“Alexandra is a great sitter. She was very careful to gather information so she could personalize care for my dog. And she sent text and video updates. Would definitely take my dog here again!”




6. Jeff & Beth K.

“Jeff and Beth took great care of Riley. They spent a lot of time playing with her and treated her just like part of their family. Riley had a wonderful time and I felt very comfortable leaving her in such capable hands.”


7. Chad A.


“Chad was an excellent host. He has a welcoming house and yard. He keeps the number of dogs small so it's manageable for all involved. I got daily updates from him including pictures. Would recommend.”


8. Melina B.

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”


9. Teetouch P.

“I have so many good things to say about Tee and his family. They took amazing care of my boy and sent me several videos and photos everyday of him doing the things he loves. Playing ball. Hanging with the other dogs. I knew from the minute I met Tee That Ted would be in good hands. You can tell he really loves and enjoys hanging with the dogs! I am so happy and I would highly recommend him above anyone I’ve met on Rover!!!”


10. Nicola & Michael A.

“Both Nicola and Michael took such good care of my dog Lu. She was so happy when I picked her up. They understood very well, her needs and quirks. I appreciated that they were patient with her as new spaces can be a lot and she can be timid and scared. Will 100% book again!”


11. Suzanne E.

“Suzanne took care of our Coton-de-Tulear, Sandy, for 6 nights. All that time, I felt at ease that Sandy is safe and comfortable, and best of all, happy. I can tell from the pictures she sent me looking at Sandy’s eyes and posture. Sandy had a great time at Suzanne’s beautifully kept lawn and garden. When I picked up Sandy, she was brushed and kept “white” as nicely as when we dropped her off. Suzanne is also nice and friendly. She is organized and calm. That’s why I think her place is ideal for pets who can be uncomfortable when owners leave them for a days.”


12. Kelly L.


“Kelly was amazing! She sent pictures and videos of our precious baby being pampered every day we were gone! When we had a travel upset she was very understanding and accommodating to our change of plans. We picked our darling up to find that she'd been bathed and had her her harness and collar washed. Kelly even sent us home with a bag of treats. We had a much more relaxing vacation knowing that our darling was having such a great time with Kelly! One thousand stars!”


13. April L.

“April is by far one of the best rover sitters I have ever encountered. We decided to do a meet and greet beforehand. April was so very in kind in letting myself and little Kobi come into her home. This was a first for me as all of my previous meet and greets were done at a park, on a walk, etc. this allowed for me to see where Kobi would be staying and give some ups on his behaviors, etc. She was so very generous in answering all of my questions and I felt so much at ease knowing that I was able to give her a proper download well in advance. Kobi stay went swimmingly! I received a lot of photos and updates. April kept me up to date with the going’s on and made sure to run things by me as the days progressed. I feel so very fortunate to have found her and I can’t wait to book with her again! Do not hesitate to use April as she will take great care of your little one.”


14. Zo H.

“Zo made our pup Kobe’s first weekend away from us an enjoyable experience! He had tons of fun running around and playing with her super friendly frenchie Bruno! If your pup has a specific eating/sleep schedule or allergies, she will be sure to accommodate. We also got daily pictures and videos throughout the weekend! Kobe came back to us at the end of the weekend happy and tired, we will definitely be using her for daycare and boarding services in the future!”


15. Jennifer L.

“Jennifer was great; lots of pictures and updates. Looked like Pickles had a great time on her cat tree and playing with the cat toys. Will definitely be sending her back over when we're out of town again.”


16. Lauren V.

“Lauren did a great job watching our senior dog, we highly recommend her! Very appreciative of her communication skills and the updates/photos she shared.”


17. Chawntea P.


“Where do I even start? Chawntea’s reviews speak for themselves and after coming across her profile I knew that she would be a perfect fit for looking after my sweet boy. I received plenty updates and even came back to a freshly bathed pup which was so unexpected yet so appreciated. 100% recommend her and can’t wait for more fun times between Juice and Bailey!”


18. Kaylyn S.

“Kaylyn did such a great job with my trio of kitties. She kept in constant communication with so many pictures and updates. All of them loved to cuddle her so I know she was giving them so much love. We would love to have her watch them again anytime we are away. Thank you Kaylyn you are very much appreciated.”


19. Anthony A.

“Anthony and Nikita were great about keeping us posted. We were confident that B was in loving and attentive care, and the posts and photos proved that.”


20. Karen M.


“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”
