1. Sky G.

“Sky was great! As a dog mom, my dog means the world to me and it can be nerve wracking leaving her. Sky took great care of her and sent daily video updates. Her communication is stellar and quick, which is extremely important to me. I would recommend Sky to everyone!”

“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”


6. Elizabeth M.

“Elizabeth is a true dog person through and through, I cannot recommend her more and I'm sure Nelly would rate her stay(s) as 15 out of 10. Elizabeth sends the best photos and anecdotes, and she is super responsive and flexible.”


7. Roshni D.

“Roshni was great with my dog Ziggy - she let me know how he was settling in after I dropped him off and provided regular updates in a scheduled, thoughtful way. When I picked Ziggy up, it was clear that he was very happy and a big fan of Roshni. I’d use her as a sitter for Ziggy again any time.”


8. Maria-Helena S.

“A fantastic experience with Maria! She is incredibly attentive and kept us updated with tons of pictures and even a video, which really put our minds at ease. Super responsive and clearly cared a lot about our pet’s well-being. Highly recommend!”


9. Andy G.


“Andy looked after my dog while I was on a work trip, and I couldn’t have been more at ease. He kept me updated, and my dog was clearly happy and well cared for. She was even reluctant to leave and wanted to say goodbye to him. Highly recommend!”


10. Brianne B.

“Brianne watched our dog for six days. She was very communicative and her dogs played well with our dog. Laika enjoyed playing with her daughters and the her dogs. She came back home very happy. We would want to board Laika again with Brianne if she is available.”


11. Morgan G.

“Morgan was fantastic!! This was actually my first time using rover as a customer. She was very understanding and was willing to meet my pup beforehand which made the transition much more comfortable for the both of us. My pup and hers had a wonderful time. Would recommend.”


12. Alli M.


“Alli was a great host to Tali, once again. Even after our dog had some dental work requiring some changes to her diet and some medications, Alli didn't bat an eye, and Tali came home happy and healthy.”

“Christine watched my dog, Teddy, for a week and was great. Got daily updates with pictures and Teddy always looked so happy. This is my second time with Christine and would definitely recommend.”


14. Luciana V.

“Can't say enough good things about Luciana. She was great with communication, pupdates, and giving my puppy so much care and attention he came home happier than when I left him. I was reluctant to leave Maverick with anyone and Luciana completely put me at ease. She is 100% my go to person for taking care of my pup.”


15. Zuleirys S.


“Zuleirys was fantastic - she provided regular updates with videos and photos and my dog was so happy with her. She is very responsive and kind and I would have to qualms about leaving my precious fur baby with her again.”


16. Gabriela P.

“Gabriela was a great dog sitter! She kept me informed about how my dog was doing every day, and made sure to send pics and videos frequently, which I really appreciated. Gabriela was also super responsive to any messages and made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would definitely recommend her services!”


17. Ashton M.

“We could not have had a better experience with Ashton! She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating as we planned a pre-boarding meet and greet and coordinated pick up and drop off times for the weekend. Wilson had a built in friend with her dog, Rui, and he came home happy and tuckered out! We’ll absolutely be using Ashton’s services again. Thank you so much, Ashton!”


18. Johanna B.

“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”


19. Leonard & Kathryn J.
“Leonard and Kathryn were amazing dog sitters for our dog, Sadie. After meeting Leonard and hearing about his experience watching dogs, we felt incredibly comfortable leaving Sadie with him for 10 days. Leonard and Kathryn were flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent daily pictures of Sadie having fun with their family. It was clear that Sadie had so much fun and was well-cared for during her stay. We'll definitely be reaching out to Leonard and Kathryn again in the future to watch Sadie!”


20. Austin & Majid M.

“Austin and Majid took great care of our dog, Maisie over the holiday. They were amazing at keeping us in the loop, and Maisie came home happy and healthy.”
