“When we needed a sitter last minute on vacation Emily came to the rescue and was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had. Emily sent pictures through the day, followed all our care instructions and loved our baby like we do.”

“Vivi was amazing with my girl! It was a last minute booking due to medical reasons and Vivi worked it out. I recorded pictures and updates, which were greatly appreciated.”


“My first foray into the world of dog boarding was a spectacular success. Casey’s daily messaging and photos kept me posted and thus less stressed. Casey kept me up to date with Lillie’s eating habits, behavior and walks. After a day or so, I realized Lillie was on a vacation too! Thank you, Casey for being the best! I would give you 6 stars if it was possible.”

“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”

“Dina was great to work with! She’s very nice and made the process as easy as possible. Her communication was top notch throughout, and she was great about sending us updates and pictures daily while we were away. She took our dog for walks and spent time outside playing with her. We will definitely use Dina again!”

“Valerie and Brian have a peaceful and clean home. They were kind and communicative. I appreciated the pics of our dog during his stay. He gets nervous around other dogs and did very well with their sweet dog Ollie! Wonderful sitters! Highly recommend!”


“We dropped the ball in finding a dog sitter and Stacey came to the rescue! She was super flexible with drop off/ pick up times and sent us multiple pictures each day she had our dogs. Definitely recommend Stacey for anyone looking for a worry-free Rover experience :)”
“She is now my first choice when choosing a sitter. My dog is friendly, but she really took to Aubreyanna right away. Every time I checked in she was immediately available and I didn't have to worry. Top notch service!”


“I’m so grateful Tania was able to accommodate us last minute. She sent us pictures and videos of Mia playing and enjoying her time over there! Mia looked so happy! 💜”

“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”

“Zephyr had such a great time staying with Dana, Dove, and Arrow! Great communication and updates. Most importantly, I had peace of mind while I was traveling. Will definitely rebook!”

“Megan was great!! She sent regular updates and sent lots of pictures. Bella fit right in with her crew of dogs. I highly recommend if needed a pet sitter!”

“Candice was an amazing sitter. From the start she was quick to respond and answer any questions we had to put us as ease. We did a meet and greet and immediately felt like she was a perfect fit. Our dogs warmed right up to her. Our entire trip she sent us photos and video updates without being asked to do so and we loved every second of it. We will definitely use Candice again anytime we need a sitter! Even as excited as our dogs were to see us, they still went over to say goodbye to Candice which is very indicative that she took great care of them and made such a strong connection with them.”

“11/10! Lei went above and beyond for our cat Biscuit! She provided us daily updates on how he was doing to help us feel comfortable about leaving him for the first time. She did everything in her power to help him feel okay about being in a strange place and went to purchase one or two things to try and help him come out of hiding and feel at home. After a couple days of him being shy, my cat really warmed up to her and never left her side and we got lots of happy updates of him lounging on her and even videos of him playing and getting lots of attention! We will be using Lei in the future any time we need to leave town because of her outstanding service and communication about how our boy was doing! We can’t thank her enough!”

“Shelby did a great job watching our dog! We left her for a full week while we were on vacation and she looked great when we got her back. Shelby sent lots of pictures and videos and was very responsive to any questions or messages we sent her.”

“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
