“Jess and her family were great! Our 11 pound Cavapoo (Molly) stayed with Jess for 7 nights while our family went on our first vacation without our beloved pup. I knew Molly was well cared for and happy (perhaps a bit too happy given her ambivalence to seeing me when I picked her up 🙂). I felt very comfortable leaving Molly with Jess and would certainly do so again. Jess was very responsive and sent me regular updates and pictures. I think Molly particularly enjoyed the freedom Jess allows the dogs in the house. For example, I sent Molly with her crate that she happily sleeps in at our home, but with Jess Molly just slept on the couch with the other dogs. Spoiled for sure!”

“Dana is Awesome! I have a purebred German Shepherd and within 24 hours my boy was eating out of his hand. Literally. My German Shepherd is very hesitant towards human men, but not when it comes to Dana. He really knows his stuff. I appreciate that he sends a quick pic or video of their little outings. My big boy always comes back home happy and loved.”

“Jing and her husband were great. They took great care of my dog for the week. Their house is in a great location and their fenced yard was great for my dog who is not always the best off leash. They clearly care for dogs. I would definitely find Jing again!”

“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”

“Just simply phenomenal!! Our flights were delayed several times and even canceled, at one time, but they were both so understanding and sent pictures of Bentley and Bentley was so relaxed. I wanna keep them permanently!”

“Kayla did an excellent job. She was very communicative and prepared and our dog was very happy staying with her. We will definitely have her sit again and highly recommend her!”


“It was totally comforting to have Lucy stay with Whitney and her husband. They were very nurturing, and very flexible with my timing. Lucy had a wonderful time there, and they treated Lucy like she was one of her own.”

“Tianyue was awesome every step of the way. This was our first time using Rover and we have never left Bailey with anybody before, so we were apprehensive. Tianyue was very sweet and sent lots of videos. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Tianyue for everything!”

“We have used many sitters for our dog, and Casey was at the top! She took excellent care of our boy while on vacation. Thank you Casey! We definitely recommend her and will dial her in the future.”
“Mokeisha was very responsive, she updates my dog's picture everyday with me and is very attentive. She def loves my puppy.. she is super caring and I would like to go back if I ever need to board my dog again!”


“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”

“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”

“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”

“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”


“Joseph was so great with watching our pups and keeping us updated with photos! It can be so hard finding a great sitter and I know we have with Joseph. If you are debating on whether to book or not, stop debating and do it!”

“We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Jamie and her family. Our dog Jaxon had the best time and we never had to worry about him. While we were busy moving our college student, Jamie and her family made it so easy for us to focus on that, knowing Jaxon was cared for and happy.”

“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

Garrett was great! He looked after our 55lb dog for a long weekend. When we picked her up she was happy, healthy, and tuckered out - she got lots of activity throughout the weekend with long walks and neighborhood adventures. He kept us apprised while we were away with updates and photos. Would definitely book with Garrett again and highly recommend him.

Fionna is absolutely Amazing at she does! Accepted my request last minute & allowed a Late night drop off All due to Personal family emergency; I cannot Thank Fiona Enough for being so Fast proactive flexible and responsible in my Time of Need! 5 Star Sitter - THANKYOUuuu! for watching my Toots!!

10/10 experience, highly recommend using Blair. She took great care of my puppy and adult dog for a week. Both of my dogs have very different personalities and different needs, she made them feel right at home. Blair includes great photos and updates while caring for your animals. Her attention to detail and love for animals goes a long way!
We’ve used Michaela a bunch and she’s always flexible, communicative, and super caring! My dog has high anxiety and can be nervous and unpredictable around strangers and other dogs but Michaela handles him like a professional and makes him feel comfortable and at home.

This was the first time I left Chloe with anyone other than my family and a close friend. Claire was so wonderful to Chloe. She made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe with her because she sent us pictures to show us the activities she was doing with Chloe. I highly recommend Claire!
We feel so much at ease when we leave our dog with Oscar and Gaelle. They always send us cutest video updates. We tried 3 other sitters on Rover when Oscar was not available , each time our dog had diarrhea after we picked her up (either stress related or elsa ate something she shouldn’t eat) . Never had a problem when Elsa stayed with Oscar. Looked always happy and healthy.
