“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”
“Laura has been great. I leave my dog, Buddy, with her every time I’m out of town, and it seems he has a great time. She’s super easy to work with too, and communicates well. I’m very thankful for Laura and her family.”
“Have left my dog with Marlo multiple times. She is kind and patient with him. Different pets have different needs and Marlo knows how to deal with all of them! would definitely recommend her!”
“Violet and her family are the best! Diesel loves staying with them so much. Great communication. Pictures and updates. Lots of love and fetch! I couldn’t ask for more in a pet sitter”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Bowie! She was great at communicating and sent us updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Bowie had so much fun playing with her dogs, and it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. Jennifer is wonderful with dogs, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves and cares for them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Bowie was in such good hands. We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again!”
“From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—she was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. My dog took to her right away. Diana kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Truly wonderful experience from start to finish!”
“Sarah took such good care of Ellie. Ellie is a rescue who has big trust issues. Sarah has such a calm and loving demeanor and I believe that Ellie felt safe right way. Sarah's little guy Max was so friendly and welcoming to Ellie. Thank you so very much Sarah! Bob and Linda Murphy”
“Elise was a wonderful sitter for Yogi and Booboo. This was their first time having an overnighter with Rover. She made me feel at ease that they were in good hands. She sent a lot of update videos and made them homemade treats. They were happy and I felt they were loved and very well taken care of.”
“Cheby is a godsend to the Rover community. I have a senior dog who has severe anxiety issues, and I happen to travel for work a few times a year. My dog is my child, and I'm always concerned about his well-being during my travels. Cheby had me at ease with her constant updates and communication. I can't recommend her enough to people that are searching for good dogsitters that go above and beyond our expectations. Buddy will go and visit Cheby again soon. ❤️?”

Julie and Maria were amazing ❤️. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. I was sent many images and videos that showed that Trixie was having the time of her life. They played ball with her and hung out with her by the pool. You can tell that they made sure to make Trixie feel comfortable. She was able to break out of her shell with them. Thank you so much Julie and Maria 😊 I will definitely be booking with you guys again 🫶 Thank you for all the updates and for giving Trixie a home away from home ❤️
Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She treated my dog like her own, took him to the beach for his first time, and gave me many updates with pictures. She was so good with communication I had zero anxiety of him being with her. I trust her completely and I look forward to booking her again!
She was actually wonderful. She fed my dog as instructed and exercised him with other dogs. He loved the green fenced backyard. He was so comfortable that he slept close to her while I was away. I was sent pictures and even videos of his activities. He was completely safe and comfortable while I was away for three days
She’s amazing! You can tell that she truly loves dogs. My dog has a lot of anxiety and as soon as I handed her my dog she tried to reassure my dog that it would be okay. She sent me pictures and videos of my dog throughout her stay. My dog looked very happy. I highly recommend her.
We were nervous to leave our near 1 yr old dog for vacation, as this would be her first time, but she meshed really well when we went to visit Asmita, and although still nervous she did really great. Asmita really made sure to make her feel at home and sent us tons of photos, showing her not only surviving, but seeming to enjoy herself. This is more than we could hope for. Would definitely recommend Asmita to others and use her services again.
The whole family truly loves and cares for animals. My dog usually has a hard time with other owners, but this time he seemed very comfortable and happy. It was also very encouraging to receive photos and updates while I was away. I strongly recommend entrusting your pet to them! 🐶✨️
My first time using rover and Stephanie was so wonderful! My pup stayed at her house and had so much fun with her pup and playing in the backyard. Drop off and pick up the as a breeze, She sent multiple updates every day and was so responsive. I would absolutely use her again!
Lindsay was awesome!! We had such a great experience with her! From the moment we met, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog, Valentina with her. Lindsay was very communicative, responsible, and professional. We loved receiving updates, photos, and knowing that she was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely return to Lindsay in the future!
