“Our dogs had an amazing time with Julie and her crew. I know this because we got multiple photo updates every day, and they have come back healthy and happy after a long stay (the kind of duration that makes a pet parent anxious about care). We are so thankful to have connected with Julie, and for the environment that she has built to care for dogs.”


“Yelena was very sweet with my dog she sent multiple pictures and gave updates daily. My dog can be very shy and I could see from the pictures my dog was comfortable being with Yelena and having fun with her and her dogs.”


“Jacklyn did a GREAT job with my Rhocky. She made me feel so at ease leaving her for a few days. I’m so grateful to Jacklyn for keeping my baby safe. She is truly a kind woman and great dogsitter. Rhocky loved her company and I appreciated daily photos.”


“Thank you so much for having Flynn this past weekend and for giving him the space to get to know and trust you! He is pretty stingy with his snuggles but I have no doubt he will settle in quickly for his upcoming week with you all!”


“Precious and Thomas took amazing care of my dog, Enzo while I was out of town. They were extremely welcoming during the meet and greet, I was sent updates daily with pictures and videos attached, and I knew Enzo was in great hands! Highly highly recommended for your dog watching needs, I will definitely be using them again!”


“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”


“Gabriel took such great care of my dogs. They were very happy when I picked them up. I think they were spoiled while there. He sent daily photos or videos. I will definitely keep him in mind next time we need a sitter.”


“I had a fabulous dog sitting experience with Courtney. I recommend her 💯 and will be using her again when I travel. My dogs were spoiled, given lots of love and attention, and enjoyed a huge fenced backyard. Plus she’s an experienced vet tech so was a pro with meds and trimming nails.”


“Hugo had another wonderful stay with Richard! Flexible drop off and pickup times, great communication with pictures and videos sent daily. Also love seeing Hugo’s report card on how he did during the visit. Thanks again Richard for the great care of Hugo!”


“We booked Rosie pretty last minute due to an emergency (leaving us pretty stressed out to find care for our Cavalier Cocoa) and it couldn’t have turned out any better! When we met Rosie we knew Cocoa would get the best possible 2nd home while we were away! Rosie asked all the right questions, sent us pictures and is just overal the sweetest person! I am so happy our Cocoa buddied up with Toby and it seemed like they were really enjoying each others company. Can not recommend her enough. Thanks again Rosie! Pretty sure Cocoa misses you guys.”


“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”



“We feel so fortunate to have found Karen. Our pup was well cared for, had a great yard to explore, and plenty of soft places to rest in Karen's home. Her drop-off and pick-up times are very flexible and her warmth and kindness are pretty evident when you meet her. Definitely would recommend.”


“I had travel plans all squared away and our usual sitter had an emergency and couldnt take care of our dog. Tammy was so fast in responding and took great care of our little one. I will definitly request Tammy's services for my next boarding. She is courteous, responsive and accomidating, and gets a five stars from me.”


“Christopher took great care of our cat. It was very easy to coordinate the schedule with him. He sent regular updates and shared photos with us. He also administered medicine to our cat in a timely manner. Overall, I felt very comfortable and at ease with my cat being in safe hands while I am away. Will definitely book with him again!”


“James was super accommodating and helpful throughout the booking process. When my pup saw him she loved him immediately! During her stay, he sent me updates and answered all my questions. My dog got along famously with his golden and I am looking forward to booking James again. Highly recommend!”

Lawrence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rashawnda was truly an amazing dog sitter for my baby boy, Bear! I was initially worried because Bear has anxiety and doesn’t usually do well in unfamiliar environments. But thanks to Rashawnda’s patience and loving care, he settled in quickly and felt right at home. She kept me updated and I could tell Bear was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my pup. I would highly recommend Rashawnda to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
