She treats Ace just like he was her own pup, I love getting the photo updates, and she’s just an overall amazingly sweet person!!!”
“Helen and Nathan watched Smokey for a week and were very responsive and sweet! They sent me multiple pictures and videos everyday and were very quick with responding to any of my messages. Their dog, Daphne was a perfect friend to Smokey and he seemed like he had a great time with them! I even left Smokey’s brush and they were kind enough to drop it off at my place. Highly recommend them!”
“Always always always happy when booking with David. My German Shepherd has been coming since he was a puppy and never met someone who takes such great care of dogs like David does. All the pictures I get while he is there, he is happy and having fun. Cannot express how lucky we are to have found David and been going through him for like 2/3 years now”

“Suzi took care of my dog, Bo, over the holidays, and I couldn't be happier! She provided exceptional care and attention to Bo, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay.

“Andrea was absolutely fabulous!! She kept my dog for a couple of days while we moved. My dog became immediately attached to her and she handled both my dog and hers so so well! My dog typically doesn’t like other dogs, however Andrea understood both of their personalities intuitively and was able to adjust to them to make each comfortable and even tolerable of each other. When I came to pick Josie up I saw they were even sharing toys!! ? 5/5 highly recommend! I will be rebooking Andrea in future.”

Jessica was an amazing sitter and recommended to anyone who needs to board their pets. I felt confident that Brody was in good hands and I received regular updates and pictures which was really nice. His living space was very pet-friendly, clean, and welcoming. It was so nice knowing he was so well cared for. Thanks again for putting my worries at ease.”

Ja was very communicative and sent me some great pictures while on an extended trip for work and vacation. My girls also seemed to enjoy Leo’s company. Ja also followed all of the instructions for the girls care and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Would definitely recommend.
This was our 4th time booking with Kimberly, and once again, we had a great experience! Yomi was recovering from some stomach problems before her stay, but I trusted Kimberly to take good care of her. Yomi came home happy and healthy, which gave me such peace of mind. We truly appreciate Kimberly’s great care! We will definitely be booking with her again!
We love Lilly and her family! They always take such great care of our dog. They have been watching her off and on for years, back when she was young and now that she’s older and has oral meds to take. She is always well cared for and it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of her stay!
I can't say enough great things about Debra! As a first-time Rover customer, I was a little nervous about leaving my two pups, but she quickly eased all my concerns. From the very beginning, she was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves animals. During the meet-and-greet, she treated my dogs like family! My travel plans included flying, and I ended up dealing with delays on my way home. Even with the unexpected schedule change, Debra remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Debra is the person to call. She has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again!
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.
Marcela was an amazing sitter for my senior dog, Coco, on all of the occasions that we booked with her! She was super accommodating and did a fantastic job with taking care of Coco and making sure he ate his medications and sticking to his diet. I can tell that Coco is really comfortable with Marcela and has a fun time when he is over!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. 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 .
