“We were so happy with the care Erin provided for our labradoodle! Erin provided morning and evening updates and pictures each day, and was always upbeat and positive. Mocha can sometimes be little anxious, particularly in a new setting, but did great with Erin and her 2 sweet dogs. Thank you!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Timmothy was available for a last minute boarding for our puppy Phoebe. We’re grateful for his accommodations! He sent us photos and videos of her while we were away, which we appreciated!”
“Wow! My little Luna had the pleasure of staying with Betsy for a quick last minute overnight, and she had such a great time! Betsy sent me updates and made sure Luna felt right at home during her stay. Luna is a little shy and timid with people she doesn’t know, but warmed right up to Betsy. She was able to accommodate my last minute need for a dog sitter, and I truly appreciate that. Luna will be so excited to visit Betsy again! :)”
“Maria has watched my little pug Lester a few times now and I can’t recommend her enough. She sent a bunch of updates and was always quick to respond. I can tell the little guy got plenty of play and exercise because he was dead tired once we got home. I’ll be booking with Maria whenever I can and I’m sure the pup can’t wait to go back.”
“When my dog is with Kyle, I don't worry about him at all! Kyle always takes him on walks, sends pictures, and takes excellent care of him! He is always my first choice for dog care!”
“As a several times over repeat customer, I could not be more pleased with the care my dog gets from Colleen and Joe. I feel so comfortable leaving her with them, I can just fully focus on my trip. Many nice updates, great communication, friendly and kind people. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kira took great care of our dogs and sent lots of photos during the visit; they looked very happy! They took lots of daily walks and excursions to dog parks.”
“Martha and Eric are truly perfect Rover sitters. They have a fenced in yard, Eric works from home, and you can tell that they both love dogs. Our dog Ruby stayed with them for the first time for five nights. We received regular updates, photos, and videos and knew consistently that she was getting the best care. Ruby had so much fun here we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home with us.”
“Promise took amazing care of our dog for a week. We really appreciated the picture and video updates everyday. We had a delay coming home and she was more than flexible and accommodating. Thank you again, Promise!!”
“Did a great job with our dog, gave regular updates of how things were going, and sent pictures. Kyle was also quick and responsive with questions and communication. Overall, great stay for our dog!”
“Kevin was great! He was very friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him. He sent lots of pictures and updates, which eased my mind, especially being a first-time Rover user. He took my pup super-last minute and was really flexible with my hectic schedule. He was very prompt and clear in his communication to coordinate a visit, drop-off, and pick-up. His dog was very sweet and seemed to be a nice companion for mine. I would definitely recommend Kevin and would leave my dog with him again. Thanks, Kevin!”
“Lydia is a great sitter and lovely person! She is very wise about dogs and their well-being. We feel very lucky to have Lydia look after our dog. She sent great photos and daily updates. She was quickly responsive. Her home is terrific for pups.”
“My dogs has such an amazing experience, they really felt at home and had lots of space to play with their new friends. I loved receiving all the updates and how comforting and accommodating Bryan and his family were. Will definitely book again!”
“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”
“Susie was great! Hank had a wonderful time playing with her dog, and another dog she was sitting. He came home wiped out from all the running around in her backyard.”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“Arianna did an excellent job caring for Howie- she was incredibly thorough, communicative, gave timely updates, asked great questions, and kept thorough notes while watching my dog. I’d recommend her to anyone- even pets like mine with quite a bit of separation anxiety!”

Deneen took wonderful care of my dog for 5 days. He was pampered with many walks and snuggles. We received regular updates and communication before and throughout the visit. Deneen successfully administered medicine for an ear infection, which is easier said than done asy dog is incredibly particular and sensitive about his ears. We are very grateful for the care received!
Arianna did a great job taking care of my dog Chief in her home while I was out of town for several days. Chief has some anxiety around new people and places but felt right at home with her! She provided photos and updates of him, so I recommend her services to anyone needing help with their pets.
Carly took wonderful care of our dog Marty while we were away! We could tell he had a great time when we picked him up. She was quick to respond to messages throughout our booking process and during Marty's stay, and she sent us photos to let us know he was doing well. We will definitely book with Carly again, highly recommend!
Grace is awesome! We were going out of town for memorial day weekend for a wedding and totally forgot to book a dog sitter until the week before. Woody loved his time with Grace and it’s clear that he was very well taken care of. Grace is awesome at communicating before, during, and after the reservation. she took TONS of photos of Woody throughout the days that he was there and the constant updates from her were so nice and so needed since this was my first time using a dog sitter on rover. i’m such an anxious dog mom but Grace really eased my mind with her updates and photos which i appreciated so much.
Erika was so great with our pup! We loved getting updates and knowing he was living his best life (hanging in the yard, meeting new friends, getting lots of snuggles, etc!), and we appreciated Erika's communication, especially when some rainstorms were making him really anxious. 😭 We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.
