“Sydney was absolutely amazing house sitting for our dog and cat! We have a high energy, 65 lb cane corso, husky, German Shepard mix and a very social cat. She really took time to make sure our dog Alice got the attention and exercise she needed. Even extending her walks when Alice was being a little stubborn about heading back home! She sent many updates and pictures and videos while we were gone. Sydney stuck to the routine we have in place and made sure both animals got the attention they needed! Alice can be nervous with new people at first but Sydney was patient and made sure she was comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her for your rover needs!”


“Caroline is incredible. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat and apartment. She is so dedicated and communicates very well. Our cat immediately loved her. I would give her 6 stars if I could.”


“Hannah was wonderful! She delayed a trip departure to meet me and my pets and get the lay of my house. While I was gone, she clearly did a great job as the pets were calm and happy upon my return. She even dealt with a small ant infestation in my absence.”


“Alannah was fantastic! Our skiddish dog takes a long time to warm up to anyone, but Alannah was so patient and kind, agreeing to meet several time before our overnight so Hazel knew her well. She made sure she was loved, exercised and cared for. We even got picture updates. Would highly recommend her and will be using her for future overnights when we travel. Thank you.”


“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”


“Amazing! She took care of our dog and cat and they were really happy. She sent us a lot of photos and communicated often we are going to book again with her!”


“Billie was absolutely amazing with my cat, Sona! Sona loved her as soon as they met, and Billie was so great about asking lots of questions about Sona’s schedule, etc. She sent videos every day I was away, was so communicative and thoughtful, and took such good care of Sona. I was able to enjoy my time away much more, knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Would absolutely book Billie again for pet sitting!”


“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”


“HoChuen day-sat our dog for several hours while we were out. I would highly recommend him. He was conscientious and prompt and asked good questions before we signed him up. He was on time and engaged with our dog and followed up on our instructions. He communicated when he thought there was a problem and asked for our input. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again. I recommend him to other users.”

“Margot was so great with Milo and was so helpful for watching him through the whole day! She took him on 2 walks and was very kind! Milo seemed very happy when I got home and we would definitely book with her again 😊”


“Yara was great! She came a week early to do a meet and greet with Gizmo and followed all the detailed instructions! She also sent me daily photos of my dog which gave me that extra conditioner! She was very sweet and attentive while taking care of my pup! Plan to use her again for future overnight visits!! A++++”


“Torana is super responsive and patient with our 11 week old puppy that is still going through potty training and separation anxiety. Really appreciate she took our request last minute so we can run errands and have a breather as new pet parents. We will definitely work with Torana again!”


“Geraldine was house/dog sitting over the holiday while we were out of town and did an amazing job. House was well cared for and clean, dogs were happy and she maintained their schedules. Will absolutely be hiring her again!”

Nicole D.
“Our rambunctious, energetic and silly 4-year old boxer met her match in Nicole. My husband and I went on a 2-week long vacation and after an awful boarding experience felt like we needed to search for a trusted and loving caretaker for our dog. Nicole has a very natural and relaxed energy that put our dog at ease from first meet. She’s extremely loving and gentle in her approach that made us feel like our pup was being cared for by family. She was diligent with her feedings and medication as well as kept her entertained and stimulated with play and dog walks. If you’re looking for top notch dog care- look no further and just book Nicole.”




Akosua G.
“Our Baliey loves Akosua! And she loves Bailiey!! This is a great combo to have when leaving your fur baby with someone. We have gone on vacation several times, leaving Bailey in Akosua's total care at the house. Whatever works for you and your fur babies, Akosua can adjust. Whether she stays in the residence or just comes over to walk your pet, she is flexible, kind, caring, and responsible!!”

Marina Lagoon pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karina was AMAZING! This was our first time leaving Elka alone for two weeks. Karina gave us peace of mind from the minute. Elka saw her. Karina provided us updates and shared photos and videos of Elka. She was so wonderful with Elka and a complete professional. We are definitely going to use Karina again. We highly recommend her

Casey was so good with our dog Kylo. Kylo is a "special needs" dog; Casey understood this and took the right approach working with Kylo. He stayed at our place for 10 days taking care of Kylo; he took him on his regular walks, played ball with him and also started watching daily movies with him :) Casey kept the house very clean!! We are so happy to have come across Casey as is our baby Kylo. We will always use Casey in the future as and when required and of course based on his availability. There is NOTHING like knowing that your family member is being taken care of, such that you have one huge worry of your head when traveling.

I'm so grateful to have found Chris as a sitter for my dog Kinako. Chris showed incredible patience and really took the time to engage with him. It was clear Chris genuinely enjoyed spending time with Kinako - not just going through the motions, but actually playing and making sure he was comfortable and happy. What impressed me most was how patient Chris was with Kinako's personality and needs. Chris didn't rush the sitting session but instead focused on building a connection with him. Kinako seemed relaxed and content when I returned, which tells me everything I need to know about the quality of care he received. I would definitely book with Chris again and highly recommend his services to other dog owners!

Debora and Jorge were great with our senior dog, Biscuit! They sent us regular updates and photos. They were also really detail oriented and made sure they fully understood our dog's needs. They were also great house guests. We'd be happy to book with them again!

We were lucky to get Michelle when we had to be out of town but our cat was in a cone and recovering with stitches. I felt much better being away knowing my pet was with a trained vet tech - whew! Michelle kept me posted on details I needed, and my cat, who is normally elusive to strangers, warmed up to her quite well. I came home and found everything as it should be. Will use her again!

Sarina house / dog sat for us and was fantastic with our dog Roti!! She’s very detail oriented, considerate, and experienced with animals. She asked all the right questions and her calm demeanor also meant that Roti took to her very quickly and was perfectly at ease while we were away. She took great care of the home as well. Thank you so much Sarina! We would most definitely love to have Sarina as our house/dog sitter again!

This was my very first time using Rover so I was nervous. I’m so grateful I hired Barbara. My cat, Blue, liked her from the start and Barbara would send me photos and videos of Blue cuddling with her and regular updates. Barbara took very good care of Blue and I’m happy I found her.
