1. Nitasha & Neerav S.
“Nitasha and Neerav were great with Gabriel. They made sure to send me daily videos to reassure us that Gabriel was in good hands while we were away. Gabriel also has a very severe dry eye that needs cleaning and ointment twice a day and they made sure to take care of his eye nicely. I will definitely use Nitasha and Neerav again in the future.”

“David was exceptional! This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and David made sure we felt at ease the entire time. He sent many photos and updates throughout the day so we knew that Kevin was in great hands. We definitely plan to reach back out for any dog sitting needs we may have in the future! 10/10 would recommend! He even treated our puppy to new toys!”
10. Nicolle & Ronaldo S.
“Nicolle and Ray are incredible sitters! They kept me updated frequently with how my dog Maggie was doing, even sharing a daily schedule. They truly pampered Maggie, gifting her an adorable sweater, toys, and treats. Their dog, Luna, got along great with Maggie, too. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters!”

12. Alister & Lika C.
“Lika and alister are the great sitter. She responded imminently whenever I ask. My baby looks so happy with them. Mine is an active puppy and they did really good taking care of him. They took him walks more than I even asked for. They even played several time throughout the day. I received lots of videos and photos and by seeing them, I definitely believe that they are a good sitter. Thank you for taking care of my baby like your own. You will be my no 1 contact whenever I need a sitter. I really love your service.”

15. Melissa K.
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
16. Patrice & Alex C.
“Patrice and Alex took wonderful care of my dog! They provided lots of updates and cute pictures each day of the stay. Their dog Pepper seems very sweet and the dogs got along well. My dog got lots of love and attention from Alex and Patrice, and it was clear from the photos how comfortable she was in their home. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

19. Tory J.
“11/10! First time using Rover and it could not have been a better experience. Tory has the perfect setup for taking care of dogs with plenty of indoor space and a private outdoor terrace that's like a private playground for the dogs. Was very easy to communicate with her and coordinate drop off/pick up. Will definitely look for her again next time I need a dog sitter!”
20. Anne A.
“We have had Anne watch our Golden Retriever, Winnie, multiple times and couldn’t recommend enough! She takes the best care of her and truly cares about her. Her communication is great and is flexible when schedules changes. Thank you Anne!”
