“There is no one I would trust more with my dogs than Olivia M. I have two very senior dogs and need to leave the area for extended periods of time. I know that Olivia will keep them safe and lived while I’m away, and will give administrator the medication that they require. I usually reserve her services months before my trips to ensure that she is available. Thank you Olivia!!”

“Once again my cats had a great time at Mary’s. I especially like that she has a dedicated room for them with toys and lots of places to climb. Mary took time to send me updates and photos, which I really appreciate. I could tell my cat’s enjoyed themselves, they did not want to go home. Even my scaredy-cat, Warrior who spent most of his time hiding behind her couch seemed right at home when I went to pick them up. Thanks Mary!!!”

“I had a perfect experience with Gianina and her family. I felt 100% secure and confident with their care. Gianina sent photos daily and gave updates. They took care of my dog as if she were theirs. My dog is a 5lb, 4 yr. old yorkie, and she got along just fine with their dog. They made drop off and pick up easy and convenient, and the house is nicely tucked away from any main roads. I will 100% recommend and use Gianina in the future. This is my first Rover experience and it was perfect.”

“Our dogs had a great time with Izzy and his family. This was our second booking and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs were so happy during and after their stay. Izzy sent updates and pictures which was appreciated while I was out of town for work. Thanks again Izzy!!”

“Harper took absolutely the best care of our dog, Milo. She kept us updated about Milo's daily schedule and activities, making sure that he is getting enough exercises throughout the day, and treated him like her own pet during the 4-day boarding. I would recommend Harper to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter who can take great care of their fur baby!”

“Robin and Dan are so loving and caring with our nervous pup Blanca. Their level of care and attention is unmatched—we are so lucky to be their clients and can’t wait for Blanca’s next visit.”


“Lea is so awesome. She takes great care of my dog. My dog Yuki looked happy when she stayed with Lea. Lea also sends many updates throughout the day proactively. This is my first time using Rover, I believe Lea gave me a great experience. I would definitely rebook her in the future if her schedule allows.”

“Natalia is the best with my puppies. She sent pics everyday and spoiled them so much. I extended the stay of my pups and she did above and beyond to accommodate my request. We were so lucky to find her and my pups love her.”


“Robert was really great to work with, our German shepherd stayed with him the week over Thanksgiving. I felt at ease with his frequent updates and he was very communicative. 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than a family member, and I was nervous. Angelica quickly put our minds at ease and sent over updates and pictured daily. You could tell the dogs felt like they were also on a vacation for the weekend. She and her family went above and beyond for our furbabies.. You could tell from the pictures that our senior dog looked comfortable and safe, and our younger dog was living her best life with some new walking (and roller blading!) adventures. I'm relieved to have found her and to now have a backup option for my family.”

“Jenna and Kristen are wonderful dog sitters! I was able to leave my 3 year old miniature dachshund (she has a bit of separation anxiety and is medicated) with them somewhat last minute and they were super accommodating. My dog loved her time there! When my dog ran out of dog food, they let me know right away and asked if it was okay to feed her their dog food. I received pictures, updates, and at pick up my dog was limping a little bit, and Jenna and Kristen checked in with me immediately stating no incidents occurred but likely she was just exhausted and due to her small size and lack of exercise, this was common. Within a few days she was just fine. Already have my next stay booked! Thank you so much!”

“Shuvashna was wonderful! She sent the best pics of my dogs while they were in her care and she made sure to update me as much as possible. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Laura was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute event I needed to attend so when I found Laura was local and had availability for a last minute boarding appointment I read the other reviews and decided to book with her. Nala was very well taken care of. Laura sent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog also takes heart medication so it was important to find someone that was comfortable with an older dog as well as one that has to take medication. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who will treat your fur baby like family I would highly recommend Laura.”

“Awesome experience have our Coco with Winkie and Lai, we get updates daily so we don’t have to worry about him. They even provide extra treats for Coco with our permission. Whenever we have questions, they respond promptly. I would definitely recommend them as your dog sitter and we would love to have our Coco with them again!”

“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”

Johanna is wonderful. She helped take care of my dog for the weekend. My dog Mia is quite anxious when she’s away from us but I’m glad Mia got comfortable with Johanna for the weekend. Drop off and pick up went smoothly and I’m thankful for the great care that Johanna has provided.

Thank you for taking such good care of our Bob Dog. We very much appreciated the daily photos of Bob so we could see his cute face everyday!! Olivia has a great dog friendly house and a securely fenced front and back yard where the dogs can run around. There are doggie blankets and foam stairs all around the house, so I felt comfortable that Bob would be treated like part of the family. Would DEFINITELY use again. Thank you!!!

Although I boarded my pup for a short trip, Socorro took amazing care of him. Communication was great, I received multiple photos of my goofball, and I can tell he was really happy to be there. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much for watching JJ!

OMG, I cant say enough about Yorleth!! She was the Best! She took Hefner to the marina and sent pix, he looked so happy having fun :) I will definitely re book with Yorleth-She is a true doggie lover. I always get good sitters with Rover, but, Yorleth was by FAR the Best and My Favorite!!!

Lai was so good with my old English bulldog. She was instantly comfortable with him and had good control of him. She said he did really well and I was happy with her care. She sent me updates daily and videos. He really looked like he enjoyed himself there. I would definitely recommend her and will return.

Jocelyn was great with my dog. She knew we were nervous leaving him for the first time and gave us regular updates. She even gave him a mini photoshoot with better pictures I would've taken. He looked so comfortable when I picked him up as if he had known Jocelyn forever. Thank you Jocelyn!

Cassandra is simply the best dog sitter. With daily pictures and updates. I couldn’t give her enough applause!! My senior dog took some time to settle in and Cassandra handled him with the utmost care and compassion!! Thanks again for the fantastic care you gave to Teddy.

This was our first time using Rover, and wow did Anna & Jason set a high bar. We had a great meet & greet beforehand, and while we were away they sent updates and photos of Momo settling right in and having a great time. They were so responsive and communicative throughout the booking and the stay- we had complete peace of mind that she was in great hands. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Izzy is an excellent Rover sitter for a dog. He is very conscientious and caring with dogs. He seemed very in tune with Maki's strengths and needs. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in the care of a very responsible and compassionate sitter. He sent me daily updates about Maki's activities, her bonding with his dog Bella and photos from their walks. Maki had such a great time staying with Izzy's family.
I travel a lot and for some years Nathaly & Charo have been the "go to" sitters for my pup. They are super consistent. and they are consistently excellent in their care of my pup and in every way regarding logistics. It's always a smooth and pleasant ride! And the pup loves. them!

Ryan and Lena were awesome sitters with our Emma. They gave her affection and care that made her feel very happy, comfortable and right at home. Their dog Zoe is so sweet and friendly which is just the kind of companionship that Emma loves. The pictures and videos they sent of Emma's fun times on her walks with beautiful trails showed how much she enjoyed everyday with them. Ryan's and Lena's excellent care during our vacation was wonderful.
