“We did a 1 night stay with April in preparation for a longer stay in a few months. April was very responsive and shared a lot of updates. It was great to get our frenchie familiar with her.”
“Lee did a great job from the very first meet and greet to the last pick up when we had her watch our 2 little chihuahua terrier mixes. She sent us daily photos so that we’d know they were doing well with her other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience boarding our pup with Karen. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with taking care of your pup where you will be comfortable they will make the right decisions if anything unexpected arises. We are glad we spent the time to find and board with Karen.”
“Finn had such a good time at Vanessa’s. He was safe and well cared for and we are very appreciative!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Kiko! Megan and Jenny were so flexible, thoughtful, and sent us lots of updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kiko was clearly in great hands — we’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“Alexandra was great at communicating and following instructions we left for our pup. We got daily updates and she answered any and all questions quickly and with care. Would definitely re-book!”
“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog Bennett! We’ve never had such a kind and caring pet sitter that we trusted so easily! We received frequent updates and never had any doubt about the level of care our dog was receiving! I 100% recommend Karen and will definitely book again whenever we need a reliable sitter!”
“Albina was great with our dog! He can be very particular about people but he loved her, & got lots of walks & outings! She was super patient with him & we got great updates while we were gone. We would love for our dog to hang with her again!”
“Mary is truly attentive to the needs of our pup, sending photos and updates often. I always feel very well-assured and comfortable knowing Xander is in Mary's care. I trust her 100% with our dog. 10/10, would definitely recommend!!”
“Beth and Jeff took amazing care of my dog Fatima. I was nervous leaving her because I have only left her once before. However, Beth and Jeff have an amazing house with a huge backyard and allow the dogs free range of the area. In addition they allow the dogs to choose their sleep place. It was important to me that Fatima would not be crated during her stay. Beth and Jeff sent many updates with pictures showing Fatima’s playtime and rest time and eating. They even provided her with a slow feeder when they noticed she ate too fast! Amazing care takers who clearly care about my dogs well being and health and who want to ensure your dog has the best experience while they stay with them. It is evident they love dogs, understand dog behavior, how to read dog communication, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and adjust to the environment while they stay there. I highly recommend Beth and Jeff and will use their services again in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me peace of mind while I was away! And thank you so much for giving Fatima a safe and amazing stay with you guys! I am so incredibly grateful. 🙏 ❤️”
“Booking was a smoothie and I received ongoing updates with pictures and videos of how good my baby boi Demi was doing. Jennifer and her partner was such a a breathe of fresh air having the comfort of knowing my dog was actually enjoying himself. As if he was on a doggy vacation”
“I’m so happy I found Eiko! I moved a lifetime of belongings from San Francisco to Oakland and had my dachshund stay with Eiko for a week. Eiko and her family provided me with the peace of mind I needed to get through the move. She sent regular photos and updates which conveyed a very happy dog. I highly recommend Eiko and won’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”
“Thanks so much Mariola, I really appreciate you watching Chica! I was very comforted by the time you took to ask nuanced questions about Chica’s needs and behavior. Normally I’m a little stressed when Chica is with a sitter, with Mariola I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!! ??”
“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”
“Alexandra took care of my dog during some really poor weather. Nevertheless, they still got out for walks and my dog received great care! Thanks, Alexandra!”

It was the first time in a while that I was leaving my ten year old pup with someone new, but it was clear from Lilly’s questions and updates that she was treating my dog as her own!! She paid incredible attention to my dog’s special needs 🙏and provided adorable photos and videos throughout the stay. My dog was in a great mood upon pick-up and definitely bonded with both Lilly and her husband. Can’t recommend her highly enough!! 🥰”
“Tiffany and Lauren took excellent care of our special needs Frenchie, Ruby! They provided frequent updates and cute photos! Ruby didn’t want to leave!”

Northgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandra is awesome! Our bear dog had a great time with her and was very well taken care of. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Alex is a very good communicator and we had great updates throughout the trip.
Grace was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Willie! She went above and beyond to make sure he had a great stay, taking him on beautiful hikes and playing with him in the yard. She kept me updated with photos throughout Willie’s entire visit, and Willie was definitely sad to leave. I highly recommend Grace as a very caring, responsive, and trustworthy dog-sitter!
Scarlet was great with Alfie! She sent updates and made sure to assure me he was safe and doing well. Alfie got along great with her dog to as he's a sweet one.
Excellent care for our Papillon. Lots of good feedback and pictures during the stay to keep us informed. Thoughtful. Kind.
Kylie and fam were great! Louie seemed to fit right into their wonderful lil pack. Kylie gave us regular updates on their adventures. Easy communication and we felt secure leaving our lil dude for two weeks in their trusted hands.
Vanclee took great care of my big goofy Labrador! He welcomed Jett outside, sent an update, and shared photos of Jett out on a hike, hanging out on the grass at the park with his dog, and enjoying the sun next to the windows along with a summary of their time together. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks Vanclee!
Our dog, Chewy, had another great stay with Danielle! Chewy is so content staying with Danelle and Joel and receives loving and attentive care, along with lots of pictures and videos during her stay. We will definitely book with Danielle again soon!
Mary was absolutely fantastic. Provided lots of love and great care for our anxious little dog! Will definitely use Mary’s services again.
Working with Lilly was great! She took amazing and attentive care of our dog. So grateful for the many updates, photos and videos throughout as well!
Todd was great with Hiro, my Shiba Inu. Hiro does not like other dogs so I am always nervous leaving him with sitters. Todd provided expert care, regular updates and my dog was really happy staying with him.
They took such good care of my sweet girl Dallaz. She came back with such a calm energy and I super appreciate that
Emily took great care of Rogue - especially over the July 4th holiday weekend (aka fireworks)! She went out of her way to make my pup feel comfortable despite the loud noises. I really appreciated the extra effort and Rogue appeared to have a great time.
Julie and Ankit were great! They were easy to communicate with, flexible, and took great care of my dog. They even gave her pumpkin when she had diarrhea which was very caring and sweet! I’d send Zola back to them any time!
I left my French bulldog, Saint, with Nemo while I was away for my sister’s wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care he provided. Saint can be a reactive pup, but Nemo was incredibly intentional, patient, attentive, and clearly experienced. I highly recommend Nemo to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about the dogs he boards.
Alexis was wonderful with our dog Waffle! Waffle stayed over the 4th of July weekend, and fireworks make her anxious, but Alexis was so kind and patient with her. Alexis sent lots of photos and updates, which was great. We'd gladly have her watch Waffle again!
the best of the best. excellent communication. outstanding care. And always goes above and beyond with my little guy.
Finn had such a good time at Vanessa’s. He was safe and well cared for and we are very appreciative!
Thanks for taking such great care of Tootsie! She told me she had such a fun time during her week with you and that she can’t wait to come back and visit again.
