“Mariah was amazing and my boys loved her. She updated us many times every day and also sent lots of photos. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”
“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”
“Elliot was absolutely amazing! They took tons of extra time with our dog who turned out to be more shy than we expected! They were great with communication and pictures. Will definitely book Elliot again!”
“Our first experience w/Rover: I chose Brigit after reading her numerous reviews; knew at our first meet & greet that I was lucky to find such an incredible young women w/the medical skill’s & compassion for a geriatric 10 yr young puppy I inherited from my only cousin, upon her passing. Brigit has also been an excellent teacher to a retired teacher who is a willing, lifelong learner. Proving any old dog: whether 2 legged, or 4 🐾 🐾 > can learn new ‘tricks’; taught skillfully! Hopefully, Brigit gives us more chances to improve our ‘score’ each time, when she is available to watch both our home & Maggie Rita 1️⃣ very contented pup❣️”

“Jeff is an exceptional pet sitter, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! After we moved to ABQ, we were anxious about finding a trustworthy overnight sitter for our two dogs, especially with one being a high-energy puppy. From the moment we met Jeff, we felt completely at ease, and our dogs instantly took to him. While we were away for the holidays, Jeff went above and beyond in caring for both our dogs and our home. He communicated regularly, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found Jeff and will definitely be relying on him again in the future!”

She followed all my requests perfectly and kept me updated the whole time. Coco can be picky with people, but she and Dana totally clicked it was clear they formed a special bond. Dana is super sweet, fun, and easy to communicate with. I felt 100% at ease knowing Coco was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares!”
La Mesa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brigit was great! I had to go out of town for a quick weekend trip and had less time to prepare than usual. She was available for animal care with a quick response time. Professional, clean, and paid attention to detail. My babies were well taken care of and happy when I returned!
Aarti did an amazing job caring for our pups. This was our first time leaving them with a dog sitter and we were nervous about finding someone we could trust. She helped us to feel comfortable and not worry while we were away. We got regular updates and pictures and was very communicative. She left our house exactly like we left it and even cared for our bearded dragon as well. We would definitely recommend Aarti and will be using her again!
This was the first time we used Rover and didn't know what to expect. Ethanee was fabulous and we highly recommend her!!! She warned us at first that she works (on the other side of town) and getting here during those days would be impossible until after work. We made arrangements with neighbor and family to come to let our aging pup out to pee during the day. I wanted to give her a try as she was the most positively response we received! Ethanee was so responsive to everything from the first contact, to our meet and greet and during her stay here. She sent photos and reports at least once every day, which was very re-assuring. I've already recommended her to a neighbor who might need a sitter someday. She took our dog on walks and played with him as much as he could do. (He's 14-1/2!).
Amani was amazing with my 10 week old puppy and took excellent care of her in my home all day! She has a high degree of professionalism and is friendly, responsible, punctual, and responsive. I came home to a very happy pup. Looking forward to booking Amani again in the future!
Sarah treated our pups like her own. She was able to manage our dogs’ medicine and one of our dogs’ physical therapy exercises. We got regular updates to make us feel assured the dogs were doing well. We came back from a long trip to happy and healthy pups! I would love to have Sarah watch the dogs again for our next trip, and would certainly recommend her to others!
LANI was excellent with Molly Bea. She gave her all she needed including play at the dog park. She dealt with an unexpected Molly health emergency, for which we are so very grateful. Lani communicated with us by phone and text, took excellent care of her, kept us updated. She took Molly to the emergency vet, picked her up again and stayed with Molly until we arrived home from our trip last night. I highly recommend Lani!
Samantha did a first-rate job with our two dogs and left the house in excellent shape, including washing her bedding and the bathroom. She came exactly on time for both the meet and greet and the actual sit period. Our plane was very late and she accommodated us.
