1. Lauren & Michael H.


“Lauren and Michael are fantastic, they have watched Ringo a few times and he get so excited when we pull up to their home. They send lots of pictures and give him so much love, I always feel great leaving him with them!”


2. Lan C.

“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”


3. Rachel G.

“Rachel took such good loving care of Bronx! I was nervous and sad leaving him with a sitter as this was my first time using Rover but she sent me photos during my trip and gave me updates so it put me at ease. I can tell she treated him as if he was her own dog. I will definitely trust Rachel to babysit Bronx again in the future!”


4. Amanda M.

“Amanda was lovely! This was my first use of Rover for any service and it went great. My dog and Sage played a whole bunch, which he loved, but they were also able to chill together. Amanda was responsive, listened to my anxious-dog-mom-concerns, took great care of our 2 year old pittie, and sent lots of photos. Will absolutely book with her again!”


5. Sheryl R.

“Our dog Lenny had a wonderful time with Sheryl! She gives him all the attention and love - and then some! She sent us lots of updates along with photos and videos. Sheryl is the perfect fit for our dog and we’re very thankful for her.”

“Betsy was wonderful with Millie. She sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our pups stay. She came calmer and more content than she was when she left. I would definitely recommend Betsy as a sitter. Millie is looking forward to her next stay at Betsy’s home.”

“Julia and Dan were amazing hosts for my dog Bailey. Drop off, pick up were super easy and convenient.

Would use their services again and recommend them.”

14. Donna G.

“My Yorkie Maltese Hadley had an excellent time. Donna was beyond wonderful and exceeded my expectations. She provided me updates and pictures of Hadley while I was gone. Donna's check-ins made me feel at ease and I was able to relax knowing Hadley was in good hands. I would highly recommend Donna for your future furbabies needs.”

19. Lynnea F.

“I can’t recommend Lynnea enough! She took amazing care of my dog over the weekend, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate the care and kindness Lynnea showed to my boy. If you’re looking for someone reliable and loving to watch over your furry friend, Lynnea is the perfect choice!”


20. Amy P.

“Amy was a fantastic sitter for my reactive and shy pup! She was gentle with Bella and gave her a fabulous environment: sleeping in the bed (what Bella is used to!), tons of blankets and attention, and a comfy window chair where she could watch the outside world. I'll be re-booking with Amy again.”
