“We were going on vacation and this was the first time that we needed a sitter. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety and Jennifer was a total pro at keeping him calm and making him feel safe. She sent updates and photos every day and was quick to respond!”
“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog! Janice was amazing from start to finish. She stayed with him and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which made me feel calm and relaxed knowing he was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and I came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”

“Walter & Katherine watched my 15 yr old maltipoo for a few days when I was away for work. They took such good care of her, sent frequent updates and even washed her bed for me. I would not hesitate to book with them again! 10/10, highly recommend.”

She is responsive, responsible, and we would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a home away from home.”
“Koryn did such an amazinggg job watching Romina. This is my first time leaving my dog with someone ever she made the process very smooth and was very reassuring. She updated us with pictures and videos regularly showing Romina having a great time. Overall highly recommend her and her services 🤗. Got Romina back healthy and happy with the bonus of a goodbye treat.”

“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“Our dog, Savannah, had a great experience with Mateo!! She got along great with his other dogs, Casper and Mocha, and their cat, Gabriela!!

Lower Vailsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was Roscoe’s first time away from home and we were a little concerned about how he would adapt to a new environment. Te treated him so well, asked detailed questions about his habits and sent us updates and pictures. We will definitely reach out to Te for future appointments!
Doug and Luiz took great care of our girls while we were away. We were first time Rover users but they clearly know what they are doing. They have their house set up really well and have seen it all. They gave us lots of updates and are very safety focused. I especially appreciate them putting airtags on the dogs upon check in and every entry/exit point is double gated. Really conscientious dog lovers who set up towel pathways for my dog who gets scared of tile/wood floors. Will for sure use again!
I’m so thankful for Misty! She took such wonderful care of my dog, and I could tell right away that she was happy, comfortable, and well loved while with her. She came back cheerful, relaxed, and full of tail wags. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands, with much pictures . Misty is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!
Jullien was very communicative and provided a great home for our dog. She seemed very happy with him. He was clear and took instructions about feeding and safety seriously and even made sure I was sending enough food ahead of time. We will definitely have him take care of Izzie again!
Diana was absolutely amazing with my dog. Her care, attention, and love made all the difference — my dog came back happy, healthy, and wagging their tail like crazy! Thanks for the updates and going above and beyond. We’re so lucky to have found such a wonderful dog sitter!
Tiffany was a great dog sitter for my dog Max! He stayed with her over the weekend, and she kept me in the loop the whole time. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. Max looked so happy and comfortable while he was there. Her Rottweiler is gorgeous and such a sweet dog, Max and her got along really well. It was obvious Tiffany cares about the dogs she watches. I’m really thankful for how well she took care of Max. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!
I used Breanna to dog sit my pup Melo while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept in great communication the entire time and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When my flight got unexpectedly canceled, she was very understanding and accommodating, allowing Melo to stay an extra day without any issues.
This is Hunters 2nd stay and once again, everything was perfect! It’s such a relief knowing my he is in great hands when I’m away. Janice truly goes above and beyond—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure my dog feels right at home. I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It means so much to have someone I trust with my fur baby. Highly recommend and looking forward to booking again!
This was my first time booking with Angel, and I was a little nervous at first because I have a hard time booking with someone new, but he quickly put my mind at ease. I never once had to worry about whether Lola was being loved and cared for. He even gave her a bath, which I really appreciated since I wasn’t able to do it before her stay. Lola has stayed with other sitters and no one has ever done that. It really showed me that Angel is very caring of the pets he cares for and isn’t just doing this for the money, he genuinely loves animals. He also sent me plenty of photos daily and it was clear that Lola was happy, comfortable, and having the time of her life. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
She is an incredible sitter! She was so thoughtful and really paid attention to my dog's needs. I loved receiving daily updates, and it was heartwarming to see how she comforted him during the storm. Her home is lovely, and my dog instantly took a liking to her. Highly recommend!
Luz was FANTASTIC with our senior dog Nugget! He got so much love and outdoor time and attention while we were out of town, and we got so many videos and pictures of him having a great time! By far Nugget’s and my favorite person to watch Nugget while we’re gone!
Sarah was amazing with our senior dog, Tinkerbell! She was gentle, patient, and made Tinkerbell feel right at home. We got updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind that she was well taken care of. We absolutely use Sarah again the next time we need a sitter.
Noah was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs, and I would rate him a perfect 10! His patience and understanding were remarkable as he took care of them. Throughout their stay, he kept me updated with frequent phone calls and sent me numerous adorable pictures that showcased my dogs having a wonderful time. It was clear to me that he genuinely cares about the pets he boards. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my beloved furry friends. From now on, Noah will be my go-to choice for their boarding needs!
