“Betsy was a great sitter - very thorough and careful in getting to know my dog’s preferences and letting him see her very nice home and yard! Easy to communicate with and my pup seemed super happy :)”
“Could not recommend Steven enough!! Sooty was well looked after during the Christmas period and she had a great time playing with Milo! Would definitely use again! Thanks again!”
“Yesika booked our 2 golden retrievers last minute and was SO great with them. She sent lots of photos and they looked so happy their entire stay. She was also super communicative so we knew our boys were in good hands. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Debbee is amazing. Bear felt at home immediately, I was kept in the loop at all times and I never felt nervous leaving my lovely big Berner with her. Such a relief to find such a kind home!”
“Oana and Ollie have been wonderful sitters for our havanese, Molly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! Naturally we are always sad and worried about leaving our fur baby with anyone else, but when you meet them I am sure you will find them to be warm, patient, and have a calm and comforting personality that is perfect for reassuring your pets. And we love receiving a daily set of pics to see what mischief Molly has been getting into.”
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“I am so happy that I found Carol on Rover! She took very good care of Mickey and kept me updated with pictures while I was on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Carol to watch Mickey again!”
“Nala was so obviously loved and well cared for when she spent time with Natasha and Johnathan. I was updated daily and they demonstrated care and understanding of her personality and needs. I had no worries about her while I was away!”

“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”
“Ana is simply amazing! She watched Lucy for almost two weeks while I was in Europe and I know Lucy was well taken care of. Her rates are reasonable and she loves Lucy as much as I do. Thank you Ana!”
“I’m sure all pets love her. Beebe had a wonderful day at Julia’s home- clime on the cat tree on the first sight! He was even friendlier than he is at home. It must be magic!”
“Luke was amazing taking care of Murphy. He updated us, and I could tell her really enjoyed spending time with Murphy. Luke also is very easy to talk to, kind and friendly person. My dog Murphy was so happy to be with him. Can’t wait for them to spend more time together! 1000% would recommend Luke with your furry friend!”
“Luci and her family took very good care of our Pomski, Bleu while my wife and I were on vacation. She was very responsive and accommodating to any requests we had regarding Bleu’s care. She provided us with photos and updates on a daily basis. Based on the photos, it was clear Bleu was having a great time and was well cared for. I highly recommend Luci”
“Victoria was great for boarding Winnie for a week. Communication was excellent, cute pictures every day, and no question Victoria is a caring and diligent dog sitter. 10/10, would hire Victoria again!”
“We are so grateful to March and his family for taking great care of Billie while we were away. March was extremely communicative and it was very clear from his messages and photos that Billie was very well cared for and happy. We’ve already booked him for our next trip!”
“What a wonderful experience I had on vacation knowing my Tuna was safe with a kind and loving person! I received daily photo messages, sometimes two. Always kept informed and in the loop with what his day to day was looking like, from watching movies to playing with this really gross toy he is obsessed with. We will definitely be back for future trips. Thanks Barbara!”
Melrose pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jen was an absolutely amazing sitter for Saffron while we were away for the week. From the moment we left, it was clear he was getting so much love, attention, and care—it honestly felt like a vacation for him too! Jen kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Saffron’s adventures, which we truly loved and appreciated. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. He came home relaxed, content, and clearly very well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our dog. We will absolutely be booking with Jen again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jen! 🐾💛
We recently used Michael to board our dog Tanner, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Tanner is a wonderful dog, but he has his challenges — he is reactive to other dogs, can get anxious, and needs a lot of activity. Michael was absolutely the right fit - he has tons of experience with "special needs" dogs (and dogs in general), and it shows. From the many pictures and videos we received during Tanner's stay, it was clear that Tanner was genuinely comfortable and relaxed. Michael's communication was excellent from start to finish. He was incredibly accommodating with pickup and drop-off, and when our flight got canceled and we couldn't make the original pickup time, he went above and beyond to help us. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and communicative dog sitter — especially for dogs that need a little extra patience and attention!
I cannot recommend Rob highly enough. Cody comes home happy and healthy and a little sad to be leaving. He is always quick to communicate, and was able to accommodate my rapidly changing travel plans over this last blizzard. Really really grateful to have someone to count on to take care of Cody when I can't
Benny had another great stay with Vanessa and Diana! They were able to watch him for the weekend on short notice, which was really appreciated. As always, they took wonderful care of him and kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages. He had a fun, happy weekend with them.
Carol is fantastic! Our pup stayed with her for February vacation week and had a blast. She was very quick and kind with her communications — and sent pictures and videos throughout our vacation. Our flight was delayed, and she was very accommodating about adding an extra night for us. Will definitely book again if she’ll have us!
