“Emily was so wonderful with my 5 y/o lab mix! She was super easy to communicate with, and Frankie loved staying with her - she didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be asking Emily to watch Frankie again soon.”
“EK was great and really made sure my Lavish was cared for and stayed active. She sent me check in pictures and I could tell by the photos he was happy, even away from me. I was relieved to know i found lavish a great sitter while my place gets renovated. Thank you so much”

“Lisette was awesome! I always felt confident that my pup was in good hands and she was great with communication & updates. She was also accommodating with pickup & dropoff times, which was a plus. Would definitely love to have Jax stay with her again! Thanks, Lisette 😌”
“Kamiah and Cassius are wonderful. Compassionate, prompt, and professional. My dog came home calm and happy. I look forward to booking with them again!”
“After a quick move to out of state move to Chicago with a vacation already planned, we had to scramble to find somewhere for our dogs go. Our dogs stayed with Ashley for a full week and it was such a relief to know they were well taken care of. We received frequent pictures and updates during the week. One of our dogs is having a hard time adjusting to city life and Ashley was very accommodating and gracious with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future!”
“Tamara is a very responsive and accommodating Rover. Her care for dogs is evident in the way she interacts with them. I will use her services again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
“Bola was absolutely amazing. She was accommodating and kept my fur baby feeling safe when he was not feeling the best. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Katherine is very attentive and bonds quickly with your pet. She has her own small dog who seems to welcome other pups. She offers an intimate setting with great yard space. I think the setting is great for medium to small dogs. She also offered daily updates and pictures that calmed our nerves. If she is available, I will bring my pup to her again. I think my dog learned a few things as well!”
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“Kyla (.. and Tebow) took incredible care of my dog (Kirby) while I was gone on a long vacation. I can tell he had a GREAT time and would love to stay there again. We got multiple pics and videos while we were gone so it kept my mind at ease he was doing well and being a good boy. I’d give more than 5 stars if the app let me. Thank you!! :)”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Sarah was very sweet with our older dog. She sends great updates and pictures, she's prompt to respond, and is flexible. All the things you hope for in a caregiver for your pet. Already booked again because of how well she cared for Zorra.”
“The BEST sitter we could’ve asked for! So attentive, with such a great attitude, constant communication and sweet updates throughout the day. Made us feel so calm about our little Yorkie staying with Katrina. Wonderful experience all around, would definitely be coming back! Thank you for taking such a great care if my baby :)”
“we were delighted with the reports we got from Sheredyn about our kitty and how well she was adapting to her short stay at home. Sheredyn was very tender with our finicky cat and it put our minds at complete ease.”
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Lydia was a fav from my dog and I! She made sure to keep me updated throughout the day with how my dog was doing. Due to my dog having separation anxiety, I was hesitant to leave her. But Lydia was very understanding and she understood what methods to use to help my dog acclimate better to her home. I absolutely recommend her for her effective communication with me and my dog.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat child with a sitter; and so, I was admittedly nervous but Xinwen was so kind!! I really appreciated the morning and evening updates and photos! It was also so nice to know that he was in a home, got to watch "cat tv," and have play time. She even gave him a little treat to make up for having to put him in his carrier when I came to pick him up (he is NOT a fan of the carrier). I'd highly recommend her pet sitting services!”
“Lan was absolutely amazing with our pup Goose for a last minute 10 day stay! He got lots of attention and we got a lot of pictures and updates! Lan followed all the care instructions perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for more! We highly recommend Lan for any pet care you might need!!”
“The best experience with perfect caregivers. Sisters, Yeju and Enye, could not have lavished better attention and love on Noodles. Highly recommend as conveniently located downtown and accommodating a flexible schedule. Only hesitant giving effusive praise as need Yeju and Enye to be available all the time for Noodles!”

“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

New City dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first dog sitter experience, and Andrew was nothing but amazing. We usually do dog boarding and Andrew surpassed everything we have ever experienced. The constant communication reassured us. We received multiple pictures a day with updates on how he was doing. Our dog was very well-taken care of and loved. He took care of our dog’s specific diet, gave him lots of attention and cuddles. We were worry-free and were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest knowing our dog was in great care. We will definitely book Andrew again. In fact, we’re reluctant to write a review for the fear of Andrew being too busy and booked up for our future vacations!
Christian was an awesome sitter for my beloved fur angel. I needed to find a sitter last minute as my usual sitter had a family emergency. Christian was within walking distance of my home. Took Oakley to her second favorite park (which he lives by) in the neighborhood regularly for catch. Sent me updates with photos and was very communicative when needed. I honestly cannot recommend him enough, I swear I think he might have even given her a bath before I picked her up. 10/10 experience, would absolutely recommend.
Xinwen has been the best sitter we’ve found on Rover so far. She’s attentive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. She sent us daily updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were traveling. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to use her services again.
Shantia was very very helpful. I went to check out the space before my vacation and her space was beautiful, lots of room, clean, and accommodating to my dog's needs. I sent very clear and specific instructions for my dog as he is extremely picky and an anxious dog and she took great care of him with no issues on either end. She sent plenty of pictures and videos of my dog while I was away, which eased my anxiety of leaving him with a new person. My dog also does not really vibe well with men and he was able to be around Shantia's boyfriend with no issues or complaints. I will definitely be using Shantia for my dog's care moving forward!
Thank you to both of you that cared for our 5 dogs. I know it wasn't easy to accommodate all of their crates and also to one of my dogs who likes to get out of places. I also appreciate the videos and pictures you all sent to show how they were doing. That put my heart at ease.
