“Yuhan was great! She took great care of my dog over a 3-day weekend, took pictures for me and sent them regularly and my dog River was well taken care of! Will definitely book again”
“I'm so thankful to have found Bobby! My dog can be very anxious in new places but had a great day at Bobby's with his two pups, he made me feel so comfortable at our meet & greet and drop off and will definitely be taking my dog back!”
“Hands down the best Rover experience I’ve ever had! The meet and greet was incredibly thorough. I felt completely at ease leaving my two dogs in Brinyedi’s care. Throughout their stay, I received tons of updates and adorable photos that showed just how happy and well-cared-for they were. I’m officially a forever client. My dogs will always be staying with Brinyedi while my husband and I are away.”
“Christina did an absolute fantastic job with our boy Gizmo. She was super sweet, very responsive and punctual. She spoiled our boy and took great care of him. We have definitely found our permanent sitter! 🙂”
“Kanade and her husband were such amazing sitters for my 2.5 year old Pom mix, Marsha. They treated her like she was one of their own and were so communicative with me. I'll definitely asking Kanade to watch her again soon. Thank you again!”
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Shakira did so much more for our dogs than I ever expected. She took amazing care of them and showered them with love. Every day, she updated me with several photos and shared their daily activities. Even our dogs didn’t want to leave her when it was time to go. If I ever need someone to watch over my dogs again, I would absolutely choose Shakira. She is truly one of the most amazing sitters I’ve ever met.”
“Kaylee was so great with my anxious pup Daisy! very professional, kind and caring! Definitely would recommend to any pet owners looking for a sitter :)”

“100/10 stars! We were away for two weeks and Jasmine took such good care of our dog. Her dog sprinkles was the perfect playmate, Jasmine sent tons of pictures and updates, and he overall looked so happy the whole time. We will definitely be back!!!”
“Virginia was so sweet and took great care of Bogey! He can be nervous, and she went out of her way from the start to put him at ease. She took him for runs, played fetch in the backyard, and even let him sleep on the bed. I’m surprised he even wanted to come home after his stay. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Will was great with my high energy dog, made sure he had plenty of time outside and kept him comfortable throughout the stay. I appreciated the updates and pictures, highly recommend.”
“Brian was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Charlie. Couldn't leave your pet in better hands. Easy to work with, great communicator; Book him if he's available!”
“Great at communicating with me while I was out of the country; it’s how I knew he was in caring hands. John and Parker were great with my dog and his anxiety, getting him comfortable and working to make him feel welcome.”
“We had a great experience leaving our mini golden doodle, Tobi, with Purvina for an overnight stay. Purvina is communicative, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. This is our first time booking them through Rover, but Tobi has stayed with Purvina a few times before. Tobi always seems comfortable and happy in her care, and we really appreciated the updates she sent while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in a safe and caring environment. When we picked him up, he was his usual happy self, and initially didn't even want to leave, which reassured us that he was very well taken care of. We would definitely book with Purvina again!”
“Joy was such a wonderful sitter and provided a warm, safe and friendly home away from home for our dog. She would send frequent updates and pictures to let us know how our dog was doing and was always quick to respond if I messaged her first. Would highly recommend!”
“I would definitely book with them again! Tasha was so flexible and easy to work with. My dog came home very relaxed and happy. Thank you for your hospitality!”

Serena was amazing with Crunchie! She was super attentive and kept us updated with tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Crunchie had such a fun time and clearly felt right at home with her. We’ll definitely be booking with Serena again. Crunchie is already counting down the days!! 🐾
Mckenna took wonderful care of my pup. Mckenna listened to my concerns about Kandy's anxiety, made sure she was comfortable, and kept me updated the whole time, which I really appreciate. Mckenna was also super flexible with last minute booking and my schedule. 10/10 experience!
Julie was great and communicative. She took good care of Bailey and included her in a ton of activities (outings, running, etc) which Bailey loves. I appreciated the meet and greet before our formal booking too, I think that was nice for both parties and it gave Bailey a chance to become familiar with Julie beforehand. It’s very obvious when Bailey is sad to leave a friend and now that we’re back from our trip and Bailey is back home, she is clearly missing Julie.
I would highly tecommend leaving your pup with Cynthia. She did an amazing job at keeping me updated and keeping my dog entertained throughout the week when I was away I just can see how she truly loves and enjoys being around animals and she will take care of your babies like they are her own 💯🙌🏼
