“Starry and Gio were excellent communicators and flexible with a flight delay! They sent frequent updates about our dog and we knew she was well taken care of! highly recommend”
“If you're new to Rover or looking for a new dog sitter, Grace is the person to go to. I had an unexpected trip come up and needed to find someone quickly. There's always some unease leaving your dog with someone you haven't built a rapport with yet - but I'm so glad I found Grace. Her thoughtful questions about Ahri before the booking, and the confidence she gave me with her answers, made it easy to trust her with a 2 week stay. While I was away, she sent daily updates with photos and videos. Whenever anything came up - a light scuffle with another dog, an allergic reaction Ahri was having - she gave detailed updates along with how she handled each situation. Even when I wasn't able to respond right away, she kept the updates coming, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell within the first day that Ahri was comfortable - from the way she was running around with Grace to how relaxed she looked resting at her place. I would recommend Grace 1000% and would absolutely book with her 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!!”
“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! :)”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“Rochelle is such a kind and warm-hearted person! My cats are on the anxious side and they warmed up to her quickly. I definitely would recommend and book with her again soon!”
“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!”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”

“2nd time staying at Eduardo's! I was out of country for 7 days and my dog, Finn absolutely loved staying at Eduardo's and he took an extrememly nice care of him!!!!!!! Eduardo is very easy to communicate (responds to you within an hour) and very flexible with scheduling. He was flexible enough with my last minute change of schedules regarding pick up and drop off. Very reliable and I didn't have to worry about my dog while I was away because I knew he was in good hand. He also sent me couple pictures of Finn at his house! Thank you so much!!!!! I will book with Eduardo again for any upcoming trips!”
“I was very happy with Natalia. She is very flexible and took very good care of my pup. I would surely book with her the next time I am in the area.”
“Gabriela was great! My girls were very well taken care of and seemed to enjoy every minute. She kept me up to date on how they were doing and sent me pictures as well. We will definitely be using her again when we go out of town. Thanks for the great experience, I will be sure to recommend you!”
“Ivette and Gonzalo were amazing when they took care of my dog. They were very reactive to my messages, came to pick him up & drop him off, took great care of him and sent me lots of pictures. It was my second time with them, and both were very positive experiences.”
“Chi-Wing took great care of our dog and was very easy to communicate with! She sent lots of photos throughout the stay and ensured us that Rey was in good hands”
“Paige took wonderful care of Emmy while we were gone!! This was our first time leaving Emmy since she came home with us. She’s a larger high energy puppy, and we felt great about leaving her with Paige.”
“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”

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!
Christina was AMAZING! She took great care of our baby especially administering his medicine. She sent pictures and updates the entire time. She made sure he was loved and cuddled as well. I could tell Olly fell in love with her during his stay. Highly highly recommend Christina!! Will be using her again in the future ❤️
Nicolle and Ronaldo were AMAZING to work with. Melo was so happy and excited the entire time he was with them. They kept us well informed with countless videos and pictures throughout his stay. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of trusted care for your furry loved one!! I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with them.
