1. Thavery B.


“Thavery and Dex are the sweetest! We loved all the photo and video updates and all the excursions she took my Lola and Bb on. 100% would continue to use her.”


2. Sara W.

“Sara and her family were amazing! They even initiated a meet and greet so that we all felt comfortable about having my dog stay with them. Sara was very communicative and even sent me updates and pictures during the day. Very sweet family! I will rebook again!”


3. Mika T.

“Mika was absolutely wonderful and we were so lucky that she was able to watch Mochi. She’s very communicative and sends the cutest photos. Mochi was extremely happy when we went to pick her up and didn’t want to leave!”


4. Cal & Susie D.

“I was in need of a last-minute dog sitting service to watch my dog, Sid… I luckily found Cal and his family through Rover. He sent pictures of Sid everyday to update how he was doing and he has a small dog that got along with my dog very well….happy with the service… Recommend him highly.”


5. Tina L.

“Tina was very accommodative of our last min boarding request and provided us with all the info we needed to get comfortable with boarding our fur baby. Tina made sure to send pics and videos of our baby and also communicated about his day consistently! Normally he is very anxious and gets separation anxiety and we can see that when he is picked up but for the first time we saw him happy and energetic and that shows he was well looked after! Will definitely book with Tina again and also highly recommend her for your fur baby!”


6. Bennie & Jennie D.


“Now, what do you do if you find out you need to evacuate your home for eight hours with a day's notice? I don't think most people plan for situations like this, and we tend to scramble for solutions when life introduces surprises like these smack dab in the middle of a normal week. I have two kittens that needed a place to stay while my apartment was suddenly worked on, and unsurprisingly, I had no idea where to start. It's not like I had much time either— only a handful of hours to plan something out. Thankfully, I stumbled onto Rover and eventually came across Jennie and Bennie. They responded to my inquiry within minutes and quickly scheduled an appointment for me to check out their cat suite the following evening. It was the best response time I've received from any service in recent history. The cat suite itself was incredibly impressive. Jennie and Bennie know exactly how to cater to cats of all types, from the overly sociable to those who prefer to keep to themselves. It didn't take long after meeting them I knew my kittens would be under great care here. Throughout the short stay, Jennie and Bennie provided me with pictures and videos of the kittens as they explored their new temporary home. There wasn't any reason to worry about how the kittens were adjusting because they sent me constant updates during the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jennie and Bennie are amazing people who know exactly how to care for cats. They've created a fantastic area for our feline friends, and I'd definitely book with them again.”


7. Kristina K.

“Kristina is an absolute gem, she took great care of Onion and we received timely updates during the entire stay. Onion had a blast which is not always true with other boarding options so I am very happy that I found Kristina. She also has a young daughter who plays with him and Onion is comfortable with children which I think made him happy and calm.”


8. Anna V.

“Anna was great! She sent me pictures every morning and took great care of her. Anna was referred to me by my neighbor and she was really flexible with her schedule. I'll be using her again!”


9. Estrella G.

“My pup came out looking so happy and arrived home tired from all the fun and cuddles he got from staying with Estrella. She is very communicative which makes me feel extremely reassured that my Unagi is being taken care of.”


10. Doug R.

“We felt safe and secure for my pooch under Doug’s care. He made sure my dog had a great time by taking her to walks and quick fun hikes. Highly recommendable to fam and friends.”


11. HONGTAO W.
“Dear Rover, I here recommend and testify that Hongtao is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. In the past, there has been many occasions where Hongtao had taken care of pet animals of his friends. Each time, I have been impressed by his dedication and commitment to ensure the wellbeing of the pets. Even when facing challenging tasks, such as the time when he took care of a young kitten around 6 months of age, he remains patient and continuously excels as a caretaker, treating it as his own. Overall, I would highly recommend him as a caretaker, considering his past experiences and abilities. Haohan Wu”


12. Joanna L.


“My dog had the best time with Joanna. She gave him so much love and attention; I didn’t have to worry about him at all while I was gone. She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated the whole time I was gone. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.”


13. Oxana S.

“Kona had a good stay and we received a few photos of her walks. She was happy when we arrived and Oxana was accommodating when our flight was delayed. Thank you!”


14. Jesslyn S.

“I booked overnight boarding for my 2 yo shiba baby. He had such a good time! Jesslyn and her husband are so nice, they took very good care of him. Highly recommended!”


15. Reena K.


“This is the second time Reena has taken care of my little girl. I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust to care for her when I am out of town. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a home away from home for their puppy.”


16. Reinaldo P.

“Reinaldo is as such a great dog sitter! He provided updates, gave my dog her medication, walked her, and shared sweet photos of Eiffel being taken care of. We highly recommend Reinaldo! Thank you so much for taking care of Eiffel!”


17. Katie N.


“Katie continues to be the most thoughtful dog sitter! She always makes sure Tilly is having a well rounded visit with lots of activities and good quiet time. Tilly really does love spending time with Katie!”




18. David W.


“David and Jennifer are amazing! Our Griffey loves this family and feels at home with them. Thank you for always providing the best care for him!”


19. Nika M.

“Nika is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of Viper and was very helpful and responsive. She also provides lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day which helped keep my mind at ease that my baby was being taken care of. Will definitely book with her again!”


20. Niloofar M.

“Niloofar was absolutely amazing with Cuddles. He had a blast playing with her and her dog and cat! She kept me posted about how he was doing. Took such great care of him! Will definitely book her again.”
