“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”
“My Shih Tzu Toby had a great stay with Lindsey and her crew of Shih-Tzus! It was easy to book with Lindsey and we had a nice meet and greet with her before the the sitting. Lindsey made sure Toby was well cared for and had a nice experience! We definitely recommend her!”
“Beth was a perfect fit for us! Turq warmed right up to her and they really seemed to match each other's energy. We got plenty of updates which assured us he was comfortable and happy, which we loved. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Julia watched my Siberian Husky Apollo while I was out of town for a couple weeks. Julia made sure Apollo was comfortable in his new environment and he really enjoyed his stay.”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Andrea was incredible with my Zoey! She was accommodating and kind with a very last minute holiday request. Even more so, she was patient with my anxious girl during the fireworks and great at communicating with me! Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Tre'Ana is a great sitter and I will definitely use her services again. When I dropped him off her daughter wanted to play with soon as I got in the house lol. I appreciate when the family loves on Tyson just as much as I do. Thank you so much!”
“I am very impressed with how well the dog sitting went and how great of care she took care of my dog. The picture updates were wonderful and she did a great job communicating. I could tell my dog was very happy and didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend to others as I am very pleased.”

“Louie stayed for a week while we were on our honeymoon. We got pictures and videos daily to show how he was doing. It definitely eased my mind. He had a great time and Sascha was considerate and caring.”
“Shari provided a wonderful environment and loving care for our dog, Poppy. Poppy was relaxed at her home and excited to see Shari the second time we booked her. She sent us cute photos and updates and made us feel that Poppy was in the best hands. We will definitely book Shari again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkwood
Our dog loves to stay with Sarah and Brody. When we book with Sarah, we know she’ll get plenty of action and attention, and we’ll get the peace of mind that comes with that. Sarah is always flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups and is a great communicator. Highly recommend.!
I just retrieved my happy & healthy dog from a long weekend with Sue. This was the 2nd time she's watched him. Both times have been wonderful. I receive updates with photos, and he gets his favorite activities- sunbathing & walking. My dog is a trickster, but her yard is securely fenced in. 5⭐️!
I've asked Alycia to take Pixie many times and it's always a great experience. Pixie loves staying with her and comes back super tired from the boarding. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended. I think Alycia has boarded Pixie at least 5 or 6 times now with the same high level of care and communication.
Katie is absolutely wonderful with Abby! She takes such great care of her, and we never have to worry when Abby stays with Katie. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such caring and capable hands. We also really appreciate the daily pictures and updates. It’s always reassuring to see Abby happy, comfortable, and enjoying her time. Katie treats her like one of her own, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup!
Reema was lovely! She took care of our dog Chi Chi while we were on a long vacation and gave daily updates. Chic Chi also had a playmate as Reema has a small dog herself who’s was as welcoming and friendly as the owners. Chi Chi got plenty of love, affection and playtime and returned home a happy pup. Highly recommend!
Laura and Patrick were phenomenal dogsitters for us--they took such great care of Teddy and have a beautiful backyard. We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were out of town. They went above and beyond to get special dog food and a prescription from our vet when our dog dealt with "stress colitis" from being away from us and they handled it all in stride. We are so grateful we found them--it was our first time using Rover and we were really happy with the entire experience!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
