“We are so lucky to have found Sam! Her professionalism and thoughtfulness made us feel confident leaving our pup with her for 2 weeks.

“Anna did a great job of taking care of our dog Charlie! She was nice enough to meet us ahead of time so he could get to know her, definitely spoiled him with lots of walks and kept us in the loop the whole time. The few problems that came up she handled like a pro. Thanks again Anna!”


6. Anne L.

“We booked with Anne last minute as our original pet-sitter fell through. Just after a quick meet-and-greet, we were able to go on our week long trip with peace of mind, knowing that our sassy corgi would be well taken care of. Anne sent daily pictures and videos which we loved! We would recommend Anne in a heartbeat. Thank you, Anne for taking such great care of our fur baby!”

11. Rodrigo R.

“I was hesitant to leave my baby with strangers, we had never done Rover before. Intensely. I scanned through the hundreds of profiles of Rovers out there. I needed someone who could be kind and patient. A person with no other dogs at home, but with dog experience, no cats or other pets, and for your safety no kids. Binks is a curious chocolate Labradoodle, about 95#. He is big as much as he's gentle. He can also be anxious, hence all the requests above. But once he is tired you can forget he's even around. I didn't want to blindside Rodrigo about Binks. I asked him to meet us at the Denny dog park. Everybody knows Binks over there, we found dogs and people who can vouch for him (lol) Once at the park, he could appreciate similar dog sizes or his behavior among big or small dogs. Once they met they hit it off with no problem. The next day, I brought Binks at night to his apartment building. After instructions, Binks, Rodrigo, and Lucía left without a finch, and nobody turned around to wave at me 😥. For the next four days and nights, I received a picture and updated messages with their activities, I think my dog was severely spoiled at this home😉”


12. Laila R.

“Laila has made my first experience with Rover the absolute best! Very communicative &sweet person! She will take really good care of your pup! Definitely will be booking again!”


13. Shu F.

“Shu watched our 8 month old puppy, Hefe for a week while we were traveling and we were totally at ease! She sent pictures and was attentive to any health issues. He seemed happy and his personality was unchanged when he got back home :) She was responsive and her dog Lady was most polite and in fact taught Hefe to share!”


14. Lauren S.

“Lauren and Kelvyn were amazing! Our pup is usually nervous and upset about boarding with a sitter, but they sent tons of pictures and updates, so we knew our Kirby and their Kota were getting along well and having fun while we were away. They were flexible to accommodate for shifts in plans, extremely communicative, and very caring. We’d definitely love for Kirby to stay with them again!”


15. Alexander R.

“My pup Otto had a great stay. I highly recommend Alex for his great communication and attentive care for my pup. I will certainly turn to Alex for help for my pup in the future.”




16. Kandice H.


“Kandice and her husband were great! They always kept us up to date with great pictures and updates about our dog Della. Our pup sometimes has seperation anxiety, however, with Kandice she slept through the night and had a blast running and sunbathing in their big back yard. It seemed she had no issues at all being way from us. Whew! We will certainly book with Kandice again! ”


17. Mckenna C.

“Mckenna was fantastic! She gave us constant updates and we felt very safe leaving our little guy with her. Upon pickup, Diego seemed relaxed and refreshed...he said he had a great time! ;-)”


18. Meagan L.

“So many pictures and constant communication. Lots of walks and very friendly. Was very detailed on introducing and preparing her dog to meet with mine. All this effort was greatly appreciated and would definitely book again.”


19. Cassie C.

“Cassie took good care of my dog Borkut while I was away. He also had a bit of cough (before boarding) and Cassie even offered to give him meds. I’d definitely book her again and recommend her.”


20. Rose V.

“She was lovely and flexible! My dog had never been boarded before and it went beautifully. Then, when my flight got canceled she was willing to extend his stay.”
