“Camila and Omar are fantastic sitters. They opened up their home to my pup and he immediately became part of their family. This family is attentive, always gave updates and photos to ensure that we knew our pup was in great hands.”
“Jolanta was wonderful with my puppy! My pup loved her the very first time we met for a meet n greet. Jolanta is warm, friendly and welcoming. She is gentle with dogs and treats him like her own baby! Highly recommend Jolanta to anyone looking for a loving and caring home away from home for their dogs!”
“I appreciate Samantha’s diligence in dealing with our last minute dilemmas. Spencer seemed to have had a lovely visit with her & Coco. He appeared happy & at ease in the pics she shared. I would certainly recommend her as a sitter of the highest quality…”
“Rachel took great care of our 15 year old terrier mix Cookie. She sent photos and messages to us everyday we were away. She followed all our directions and I felt relaxed and at ease knowing Cookie was happy. How do I know? Rachel reported that Cookie didn’t want her to stop rubbing her belly. Cookie does not let most people rub her belly!! That said it all!”
“I highly recommend Anish and Aaheli for anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. From the time of booking and throughout the stay, Anish was prompt with his responses, provided timely updates and photos, keeping me fully informed and at ease while I was away. My pet instantly felt comfortable and welcomed in their. It was clear from the time we spoke, dropped of Brady and picked him up; they go above and beyond to create a safe, loving environment. I truly appreciated the attention to detail, open communication, and thoughtful approach to pet care. I will definitely trust Anish and Aaheli with my pet again!”
“Gerry is the best. We just left our puppy with her for his first overnight stay and he was received with lots of love and attention. Would definitely recommend Gerry to others.”
“Thanks Carly and family for taking care of Neo and Cleo ! Both my dog and cat seemed to have enjoyed their stay at your home. Nothing is better than seeing your furry friends happy, safe and comfortable on your return after 8 days !!!”
“Angela has been great in taking care of my Bichon. She has been kind and nice to make my dog very comfortable and my dog come home very happy been able to playing with other small dog. She gives my dog the extra diet requests that makes my dog feel comfortable as if at home. She has my trust in taking care of my Doodle.”
“Lauren was awesome. She took care of my rescue Rambo while I was away with my family and he loved his stay. Upon meeting her she clearly showed her professionalism from beginning to end. I could tell she has a sincere passion for dogs. She was very responsive through text message and I felt very comfortable and confident leaving him with her. I would most definitely recommend Lauren as a sitter to anybody.”
“Sam is truly was an angel on earth when we left our mini golden doodle Veer with her for 4 days. She was so loving and took care of Veer like her own. She asked questions, which eased our tensions, and sent us daily pictures of Veer doing a new kind of activity. Her daughter is so adorable and lovely and played with veer so well as well. We couldn’t have found a better person to take care of Veer and we will DEFINITELY be rebooking sam in the future. If I could give her 100 stars, even that would not be enough! <3”
“Kim was amazing! She gave willow lots of love and attention and sent us updates and pictures. She was reliable and quick to respond. Willow loved her fenced in back yard and she got taken on lots of walks and had play time. We will absolutely be coming back to Kim again in the future and can’t recommend her enough!”
“I had a great experience with Ivelisse! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel at ease while I was away. She was very responsive to communication and always quick to reply to any questions or check-ins. I especially appreciated the regular updates, including texts and pictures.”
“Jenny was wonderful with my dog Coco. This is the second time she’s taken care of him, and every time I pick him up, he’s happy and relaxed. She always sends me pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It really feels like Coco is at home with her, and that means everything to me. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gives him.”
“Kristen provided loving care for my 15 yr old Beagle, while also following instructions with his food plan and meds. Additionally, she provided lots of stimulating activities for this little sniffer, including her own little chihuahua, Cashew, and other little boarding doggies. (My little guy gets more stimulation in her apartment than he gets from me!) While Kristen is a great boarder, for my occasional trips away, I am now considering her as a day care provider too. And she is very accommodating and understanding of trip delays, as well. Will be sure to book with Kristen again soon. (Her own little baby boy loves dogs too).”
“Meena and her husband are very responsible dog sitter. They sent photos of Sunny although it was just 1 day stay. They accommodated my request as well. I definitely like to my dog stay Meena's place in the future.”
“Namrata is great in taking care of my Bichon. She sent me picture every day and updates me on my dog's status. My dog usually does not eat at stranger's place, but at her house, she ate everything and slept well. My dog was able to cuddle with them and play with them everyday. I feel that my dog had a vacation while I was one vacation. Namrata is the person to go to for dog sit while I am away. Thanks for the great service.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our dog Duncan! I cant say enough about how well Sarah and her family cared for our dog when we were away! She was terrific with communication before and during our booking for pet sitting. She sent us great pictures of Duncan while we were on vacation, making sure we knew he was being well cared for. I would definitely book with Sarah again without hesitation. Everything went smoothly with the entire booking process!”
“Megan is great. She’s very responsive and made the whole process extremely easy. She gave text and picture updates so we never worried how our Chase was doing. After we picked him up, he was exhausted the rest of the day from all the fun he had with the other dogs. We could tell he really enjoyed his time there. We’re so happy we found someone we trust with our dog. Thank you so much!”
“Sonia was very caring and loving towards my dog . My dog felt like she was at home . My dog had couple of accidents because she old. Sonia was very understanding. I will definitely recommend my friends and family. I will use Sonia again for my dog .”
Lawrence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sam is amazing! Our dog has the best time at her house, and we can always tell she is so well cared for and truly treated like part of the family. We get wonderful pictures every day showing our dog happy, exercised, and loved, which gives us so much confidence and peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have found Sam - I’m sure our dog Sophie is too!
Jolanta was wonderful with my puppy! My pup loved her the very first time we met for a meet n greet. Jolanta is warm, friendly and welcoming. She is gentle with dogs and treats him like her own baby! Highly recommend Jolanta to anyone looking for a loving and caring home away from home for their dogs!
I highly recommend Darin and McKenna as pet sitter! Our two dogs just spent a week at their place, and it truly felt like they were on their own luxury vacation. From the start, Darin and McKenna were incredibly attentive to every detail and specific need our pups had. They didn’t just "watch" our dogs; they genuinely befriended them and invested a lot of personalized time and affection into making them feel at home. What impressed us most was their dedication during a particularly tough week of heavy snow. Despite the weather challenges, they remained completely unfazed and stayed "up to the task," ensuring our dogs were safe, pampered, and happy throughout the storms. If you are looking for sitters who are responsible, caring, and go the extra mile, Darin and McKenna are the best choice. Our dogs can’t wait to go back!
On a last minute request, Jhonny took care of both my dog and my mom’s dog. He did not require a meet and greet which was extremely helpful as we were kind of in a bind. Ultimately, Jhonny came across as genuinely caring about the animals, and we couldn’t be happier with how our pups came home. It was like they never left. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Andrea! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog, and it was clear from the start that he felt comfortable and happy with her. She and her family treated him like he was truly part of the crew, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent pictures throughout the day, and in every single one he looked relaxed, loved, and having a great time. I couldn't have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in the area and can't wait to have my dog stay with her again! Thanks, Andrea!!! 🫶
We are SO happy that we found Abby to watch our sweet senior fur baby over a long weekend. Abby was very attentive to our instructions and sent lots of updates every day, which really put us at ease leaving our dog with a new person. Our dog can be a bit timid but she warmed right up to Abby right away — dogs really are an excellent judge of character! Abby was also very flexible when we were facing some unexpected flight delays coming back to town. I highly recommend her and we are looking forward to rebooking with her!
Lauren did a wonderful job with Kobe. He was a rescue as has some social problems. She took such great care of him. She was nice enough to watch him at our house which was a lot to ask of her especially since we needed her for 10 hours. I would recommend Lauren highly and I know if ever I need her again I would hire her. Thanks Lauren for your help.
