“We could not be more thankful for Jing and her family’s wonderful care of our pup! It was clear that Harper had a blast and was treated as a part of Jing’s family. While we were away, Jing’s intermittent photo updates with Harper let us know our puppy was enjoying her own vacation. Jing also went out of her way to help us coordinate pickup times when our travel plans changed. We hope Harper has a chance to stay with Jung again sometime in the future- we know she would love it.”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“A stay at Kevin’s is more than a safe place for your pet to be – it’s a vacation for them that is guaranteed to involve a lot of awesome exercise and dedicated attention. Grateful and couldn’t recommend more!”
“We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Jamie and her family. Our dog Jaxon had the best time and we never had to worry about him. While we were busy moving our college student, Jamie and her family made it so easy for us to focus on that, knowing Jaxon was cared for and happy.”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time and could not have been happier or better cared for. Stefan and his family really love and understand dogs! A+++++ would definitely recommend highly!”
“Gina was great! Winston seemed to love her and she was super helpful taking him last second! Would definitely consider using again and would recommend to others!”
“Sunny gave us the best wedding gift of all: peace of mind while we were away for a week! We were unable to bring our beloved pup to our venue, but she was well loved during our time away. We received routine photo updates and messages, and could tell that Pep was right at home with Sunny and Eric. They are the best!!”
“Eric is warm and caring and has a wonderful way with the dogs he cares for. Our dog Moose had trouble staying with another sitter but did great with Eric! We felt so comfortable leaving Moose with him.”
“Our dog Gus has stayed with Sue many times and he absolutely adores her! Almost as much as we do :) She is amazing with him and we always know he’s in great hands when he spends time at her house.”
“Tyler and Meichen were awesome with Milo! They kept sending us pictures, took him for multiple walks and it was clear he was super happy and having a great time. They really took great care of him, and we felt so at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d totally recommend them to anyone looking for dog sitters—they’re the best!”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Deirdre is amazing! She took wonderful care of my elderly dog while I was away for an extended period of time. Would recommend to others and definitely plan on returning! Thanks so much, Deirdre!”
“My dog had an excellent time with Kaisi. Kaisi sent lots of pictures of her dog and mine at the dog park, walking in fresh pond, looking so relaxed and happy. Thanks Kaisi!”
“Shuping is one of the best “nanas” Cookie has ever had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her through Rover. From the moment Cookie stayed with her, it was clear how much warmth, kindness, and genuine love she gives to the pets in her care. She treated Cookie as if she were her own, and that gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite things was receiving her sweet updates. She would send us adorable photos and videos and share little stories about Cookie’s day. The way she affectionately referred to Cookie as a “little rascal” always made us smile and showed just how much she cared for her. As pet parents, being away from your beloved pet can be difficult. Finding someone who loves, cares for, and cherishes your pet almost as much as you do is truly a blessing. That’s exactly what we found in Shuping. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would happily trust Cookie with her again anytime.”
“All went well with Buttercup’s stay with Michelle while we were away for 5 days, and Buttercup came home contented and well cared for. Michelle even made the extra effort to drive up some dog toys to is that gor left behind at her place the next day. Buttercup was beyond thrilled to see her show up at her house which tells me that she was well cared for. We would definitely use Michelle again!”
“Dana was able to help us out last minute and was great at communicating and keeping us updated regularly. Anytime I had a question or checked in he was very responsive. Our pup was in great spirits when we got back and seems like he had a great time with Dana.”
Newton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eddy has been doing an incredible job taking care of our 5mo old Vizsla! He has been able to be flexible in working around our schedule for pickup/dropoff on daycare days and for overnight boarding. He sends plenty of pictures throughout the days he has her to reassure us that our puppy was having fun and getting what she needs - we were honestly getting worried that she wasn't going to have missed us! When we get her back it's clear that she has gotten plenty of time to play and is usually out for the count most of the rest of the day. Definitely recommend going with Eddy if you have a dog that loves to play with other dogs!
My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!
I had a great experience boarding my cat for a last minute weekend away. They made sure my cat was comfortable with a separate room (since he has dietary restrictions), equipped with a cat tree, bed, bowls, and litter box. They were able to administer his medications easily. Communication was consistent & I got photo and video updates throughout. I was able to have an anxiety free weekend and my cat got a vacation too! I will definitely book next time I need a sitter.
Julia is amazing! She took such great care of my anxious pup and sent regular updates and pictures to put me at ease so that I could truly enjoy my vacation. Julia went above and beyond, meeting with us before hand to make sure it was a good fit and that I felt confident that my dog would feel comfortable while I was away. Thank you, Julia!!
Lee and her family did an amazing job taking care of Lugano! They treated him like he was part of their own happy family, and it was clear he was very loved and well cared for while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Alyssa takes such wonderful care of Bagel. He loves spending time with her and always comes home relaxed, happy, and well looked after. She’s also incredibly flexible when plans change and never gets stressed when I need to make last-minute adjustments. I really appreciate how reliable and easygoing she is. Highly recommend!
