“Joanna is a very compassionate, kind and thoughtful dog sitter/care giver. She sent me pictures of my fur babies and communicated about their stay. One of my dogs was very anxious, and Joanna gave her extra attention to make her feel better. She even took our dogs on walks! She is amazing, and I definitely highly recommend her!”
“Chaz was completely fantastic! Very communicative during the stay. Provide updates daily and very flexible when I needed to change drop off and pick up times. Would absolutely use her again!!!”
“We were extremely pleased with Monica taking care of Walter. She did a wonderful job, and had no concerns the whole time we were gone. I would definately recommend her and would use her in the future.”
“Alice and Don took great care of our pug while we were out of town. We received daily pictures and an update on his day. He really enjoyed their big fenced back yard! Thank you Alice and Don for making Obi feel at home! We will definitely book with them again.”
“Molly and her family were awesome! I received so many pics and daily updates. Riley had several walks a day and tons of playtime. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew my sweet girl was in the best hands. I’m a crazy dog mom but would not hesitate to leave my girl with Holly again. Great experience!”
“Shalisha was amazing! We had to have her watch our sweet kitty Mia for the day, who is normally very shy and takes some time to warm up to new people. Shalisha created a calm, welcoming environment for her and treated her with care, and after a little while our girl warmed right up to her. We will definitely seek out her services in the future the next time we need someone to take care of Mia :)”
“Second time booking with Lauren. This time our shy dog went right up to her door like it was her second home. Really appreciate how easy communication is with Lauren throughout the whole process.”
“Sheila was truly amazing taking care of Layla! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and treated Layla like her own. She sent photos and updates that kept my mind at ease while I was on vacation, which meant so much to me. Layla seemed super happy being with her, and it was clear she was well cared for the entire time. Sheila is reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Liliana did an amazing job taking care of our pet while we were out of town. Our furry friend was calm and content at pickup, and we appreciate the extra love and attention she showed him.”
“Yevheniia did a great job watching our dog Foquito. She was very responsive and accommodating. Her communication was great and we appreciated the photos she sent of Foquito during his stay with her. We could tell he was having fun. She was also very attentive when he got a small cut on his paw, and we appreciate that she took time to clean it and put antiseptic. We plan to book with her again!”
“Blair was amazing! She was incredibly flexible with drop off and pickup times! I received daily updates about how Loki was doing. I could tell Loki felt right at home and loved his little vacation! Would 100% use Blair again for any future stays!”
“This is my second time using Morris C's sitting services. He and his family are terrific! They treated my dog like one of their own. I received videos, pictures and texts consistently during her stay. I am now a loyal customer.”
“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cami is a wonderful host. She took care of Bella really well. My dog loved playing with her dog and they became great friends. She knows her way to make the dog listen. She got a big fenced backyard for dogs to run around.”
“Cody was great and sent lots of photo/video updates. Rocky loved his kids and had lots of snuggles and ball time! Cody was also super flexible because of a flight cancellation and it was a relief to know Rocky was so well taken care of!”
“Gabriella did great with my dog! She noticed he wasn't eating all his dog food and asked if she could supplement it with some dog-friendly broth. He loved it so much, he would eat his food in a minute or two. I am grateful to her for taking such great care of him!!”
Matthews pet parents share their Rover experiences
Haley was fantastic for our 2 dogs while we went on vacation. This was my first time boarding them so was a bit nervous. Went for a meet and greet and was immediately impressed and at ease with Haley’s professionalism. She clearly has a passion for dogs and was beyond prepared and knowledgeable. Very thankful for her services and will definitely rebook!
Vladymyra is truly exceptional. She took care of our two dogs for several days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped them off, she made them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. Our pups can be a little sensitive when we’re away, but with her, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious she paid attention to every detail — their routines, their quirks, their comfort — and treated them as if they were her own. When we picked them up, they were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. That’s the greatest gift a dog parent can receive. We are so grateful for Vladymyra and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly outstanding dog sitter. She’s a gem.
Natalie and her family took such wonderful care of our S’mores!!! Our girl is older and needs some extra care and rest- Natalie made sure she had all of her special needs met and sent us wonderful updates on all she was doing with lots of happy photos! Her communication was excellent, and when I realized our travel plans were going to be getting us in later than we expected, she was very kind and accommodating about helping us out! Great stay- great family! Thank you!!
I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely caring toward my dog. They provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable pet sitter.
This was my first time using Rover for an extended boarding stay, and Taffy's first time staying with someone who wasn't a friend or family member, so I was a little nervous at first. But Bo took such great care of Taffy and made the whole experience stress-free. She sent daily photos, and I could tell Taffy was having a wonderful time and felt comfortable in her care. Bo is also organized and communicative, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely book with her again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Chasalen. Our dog had a nervous belly for most of our trip, and she was incredibly attentive, communicative, and compassionate the entire time. She went above and beyond - trying a different diet for the pooch, keeping us updated, and making sure our pooch felt loved and comforted. We are so grateful for the amazing care she provided and would absolutely trust her again!
This was our first experience with Rover. Our dog just turned one and we had boarded her at a commercial facility and a home atmosphere appealed to us as an alternative so we tried it out. Alyssa and Spencer are fantastic. We met with them beforehand just to ease our concerns and the weekend went so well that we rebooked for two more trips this summer. We highly recommend them!
5 stars isn’t enough - Madison is absolutely amazing! She watched our Jerry while we were on vacation and took such incredible care of him. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely so caring. Jerry is a very picky eater, and she went above and beyond to follow all of our little tricks and tips to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. I also really appreciated all the updates and sweet pictures she sent throughout his stay as it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she treats every dog like her own. Madison has become our go to sitter and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so reliable to watch our Jerry. I highly recommend her services!
Hillary was absolutely incredible. I have never booked with a pet sitter before, and she made this so easy. Not to mention, she was very accommodating and kind. She took very good care of Muffin and sent me constant updates and pictures. I was at peace of mind knowing my fur baby was with someone who loved her just like me. If you want someone to love your fur baby while you’re gone, def book Hillary; she’s amazing.
