“Nicolle and Ronaldo were amazing! I can’t recommend them enough! I truly felt like my doggo was on his own vacation full of cuddles, play time, and safe socializing. Nicolle and Ronaldo provided updates daily that put my mind at ease. They are extremely caring, accommodating, communicative, and kind hearted dog people who truly understand the anxiety and worry that comes with traveling without your fur baby. They have extensive knowledge of proper dog care and treat your pup like their own. If you want your pet to have a home away from home with the absolute best care, I recommend them every day of the week! Incredible experience! :)”
“Starry and Gio were absolutely amazing! They took great care of our dog while we were away. They took many photos and videos of him. We will definitely be using Starry and Gio again!!!”
“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“I was anxious to leave my black cat with someone even just for the weekend but he’s such a social cat I didn’t have the heart to leave him alone. Rochelle was so sweet and indulged me when I asked how he was doing. She sent me pics and updates a few times a day. It made me rest easier during my work conference. Highly recommend.”
“Willow had the best time!!! They really were so communicative, and helpful and sent so many pictures and updates it was a relief for me! Willow has special needs and they really made sure she was comfortable and put at ease and I can’t wait to use them in the future!! Thank you!”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
“Grace was wonderful with Nigel. She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was always communicative. She took Nigel on walks and to the dog park, and he seemed super happy to be with her.”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Ahmed and Michael are absolutely the best and Rambo can't wait to see them again. The best part of our vacation was knowing that our dog was enjoying his vacation too. We got frequent updates through pictures and videos and they were very responsive in general. They have a large place that easily accommodated multiple dogs and their backyard made it easier for Rambo and his new friends to run around and play off leash in a safe environment. They also stuck our spoilt brats diet and made sure that he was always entertained. We are looking forward to using them again in the future for all our boarding purposes!”
“I absolutely loved knowing my dog was within a happy home and that Gabriela made sure she was comfortable. I really appreciated the picture updates. I like that she as given individual attention verses a boarding facility where she didn’t have personal attention. I felt very comfortable the moment I met her and I plan on using her services in the future. :))))))”
“Michael and his girlfriend took really good care of my dog, patiently attending to his needs. They kept me updated with many pictures. I would use them for boarding again without hesitation.”
“Ninoska is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our dog, Snow. Since it was our first time using Rover, we were a little worried leaving him with someone we didn’t know. Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was fantastic with Snow. She sends us amazing pics and videos of him having a great time. When we came home after our vacay, our Snow was relaxed and happy. Will definitely return to her for future stays.”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”
“Barna and Mokka (two active vizslas) stayed for the weekend with Eduardo and his family. It was a really nice experience, he kept us posted with pictures and videos. We will definitely leave our dogs with them!”
“Ivette and her husband took amazing care of Toby! She sent photos and updates every day and he came home to us so happy and well spent from his time with them 🤗 will absolutely use Ivette again!”
“Sabrina took wonderful care of my dog. I had to book the boarding last minite, but Sabrina was very accommodating. She responded to my messages quickly and also kept sending me photos of how my dog was doing which gave me peace of mind. When I was picking him up, Sabrina explained in detail how he ate, slept, walked and behaved during the stay. This proved to me that Sabrina paid a lot of attention to my dog. Most dog sitters in my experience didn't share this much detail. I highly recommend Sabrina!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup Gomi this week! Vera was very caring and attentive to Gomi’s needs. Communication was fantastic — frequent photos and videos gave us comfort knowing he was in great hands, and she kept us updated on everything from his eating to his bathroom habits. Gomi came home happy and relaxed, and we’d happily consider booking with her again. Highly recommend!
Christina is amazing! I can’t decide if she loves my dog more or he loves her more. We are so comfortable leaving him with her and know he’s getting the best care but also incredible love and attention. Kody has stayed with Christina twice and we will definitely use her again!
As the 1st time we’ve used Rover, Clara made it easy and put us at ease. We travel in an RV and need to leave our pup occasionally when we have long days out or a very busy few days. Clara communicated with us well before we left our dog and then sent great photos having a great time with her, which was so fun to receive. Thank you so much!
Our dog Brussel Sprout loved staying with Zoe! Zoe is so sweet and took such good care of him while we were away! He had so much fun playing, taking walks, and getting so much attention. We loved having Zoe as our Rover, she was so flexible when we had to change our dates and great with communication! We are very thankful!
Ziyao and her mom took wonderful care of Poke and treated him like family during his stay. They kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Poke received lots of love, attention, and care. Would highly recommend Ziyao to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Excellent service and beyond our expectations! Mr. Chi took amazing care of our dog for 11 days and made him feel completely at home. We loved receiving lots of picture updates throughout the day, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. What we appreciated most was how he kept our dog on his normal routine while also letting him enjoy the company of the other dogs. Mr. Chi gave him so much attention, care, and even extra healthy food choices. The space was very clean, spacious, and perfect for dogs. This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely worth coming back to. Highly recommended!
Grace was amazing with Joey! He was clearly happy and well cared for. We loved receiving lots of photos and videos of him having a great time. We also had to unexpectedly extend our booking, and Grace was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We’re very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her!
