1. Pamela F.
“Pam and Jose were amazing with our Smokey. They are both super kind and caring and live in a very nice clean home. Pam kept in constant communication with us, full of photos and videos to ease any and all concerns, and it was clear to see how comfortable Smokey was. Pam even threw him an early birthday party! Highly recommend her services, and we’ll definitely be using her the next time we’re away”

“My dog seemed like he had an amazing time with Michael. Michael gave him all the attention and care that I really wanted with a sitter. Definitely recommend for your pooch!”
3. Victoria P.
“Victoria was great and professional. Coco took to her right away. Victoria took care of Coco as if he was her own and provided updates w/pic's, which the kids really appreciated, allowing them to enjoy their vacation worry free knowing that Coco was in great care....Thank you Victoria.”
4. Erica G.
“Erica was great with my dogs. They were well cared for and nurtured. She kept me up to date on their daily activities, which gave me lots of comfort. Erica is very friendly and personable. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
5. Judy G.
“Our dog Lolli is a rescue with lots of anxiety. She has come a long way but still has issues. Judy did an amazing job at meeting all of her needs.”
6. Vanessa S.
“Vanessa and her family were very professional and caring. I was very apprehensive at first because it was my first time taking my pup to a sitter from Rover. On top of everything, my dog is also an XL, 2 years old mastiff. Vanessa was able to provide me some peace of mind by texting me with videos, pictures, and updates throughout my dog's stay. The house was very inviting and well presented. The yard has a tall fence allowing the dogs to enjoy outside without any risks of getting out. Storm, the family dog, is very sweet and lovely. She got along with my dog very well. When I picked my dog up, he clearly had a great time because he didn't show any signs of depression or anxiety. He was happy, which in turn made me happy. I would definitely recommend Vanessa. If you're considering booking with Vanessa, don't hesitate, just do it. You won't regret!”
7. Natasha C.
“Natasha is a very compassionate and caring person and provided my pet the best care I could have ever asked for. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog was taken care of and all his needs were met. I highly recommend!”
8. Krissy D.
“Krissy is great! She’s very caring and understanding with Blu. Blu is a 50 lb lab mix, who is sweet but tugs on the leash at times. This doesn’t bother Krissy and she works with him. She sends pictures throughout the day. She gives updates as needed throughout the day and at pick up. She’s absolutely wonderful. Blu will spend more days with Krissy for sure. Highly recommend her.”
9. Vanessa M.
“This was my first time leaving my dog Molly with Vanessa. She was excellent and I felt that my dog was in good hands. She sent me messages, videos and pictures of Molly several times a day. If I messaged her she got back to me immediately. I will certainly be using her again and highly recommend her to watch your pet !”
10. Dilania O.
“My wife and I needed a last minute dog sitter, and we found dilania here on rover. Her response was quick. When we dropped our dogs off she gave updates and took great care of our pups.”
11. Helen C.
“Helen C is a loving mother of three successful children. She recently lost her own dog, Seamus. Seamus lived to the ripe old age of 18 years, not least because he was part of a loving, nurturing, family and household presided over by Helen C. Helen has had, and cared for, pets & in particular dogs, her whole life. She will be a great asset to Rover and all of your clients.”
12. Joanna M.
“Joanna took great care of Hank and was very accommodating. Routine updates and pics kept me up to date with how he was doing. Definitely recommend.”
13. Gloria & Jose A.
“Gloria is amazing. We left our oftentimes nervous pup with Gloria for 4 nights. Gloria made her feel right at home. She provided regular updates and sent pictures daily. We plan on boarding our pup with her in future.”
14. Sharon S.
“Sharon and her family were terrific to Shea. I received thoughtful emails with lots of pictures and Shea came back happy and healthy . I would recommend Sharon to any prospective Rover customer . Thanks Jim”

“So happy she was recommended ! I had the worst experiences in the past and was petrified! I explained to her my fears and she made me feel more at ease ! The dogs were so happy ! I would recommend her a million times over ! Best sitter !!!!!”
18. Karina L.
“When I left Hartley at Karina's she was definitely nervous, but I felt confident she would be okay. Over the next few days Harley had a really rough time, but Karina kept me appraised about everything that was going on, and worked with me to find solutions for her anxiety. I felt a thousand times better knowing even though she was super stressed, Karina spent every second keeping her as calm as possible and making the situation as good for her as possible. I would highly recommend leaving an animal in her loving care with no reservations. She was amazing for my dog and for me.”
19. Lorena F.
“I feel confident leaving Murray with Lorena, a woman who truly cares about him. Murray is calm and happy when I drop him off and when I pick him up. Staying with Lorena has probably boosted Murray’s confidence. He gets a little vacation and learns that I’ll return to get him. I also appreciate the photos that Lorena sends me.”
20. Veronica G.
“Veronica took exceptional care of my two dogs Molly and Oliver. She was very attentive to all their needs and provided a safe, fun environment for their entire stay. I will definitely be using Veronica again.”
