“I was recommended to E through a good friend. It felt like a huge win! The location was 0.3 miles from my home and her family was willing to take my miniature GoldenDoodle Ellie at the last minute to accommodate my complex work schedule. I couldn’t have been happier with how clean and pet friendly their home is. I got over 25 pictures and a video sharing Ellie’s adventures throughout the evening. It was so reassuring and comforting to know that my baby was with a family that was ? treating her like she was their own. I just picked her up and I’ve already scheduled her next stay. You won’t regret leaving your fur baby with E and her family! A special thank you to Neil and the boys for letting her cuddle and play with you. She is forever grateful! See you soon. Xoxo”
“They took excellent care of my dog. Picture and video were sent to let me know that my dog was doing fine. I will definitely use them again. Great service 👏”
“Ania was fantastic and our pup clearly loved spending the weekend with her! She took her to play fetch every day and was flexible with us on our return home. 10/10 would recommend!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“Bola was so kind to my dog Coco. I was worried she might be too much puppy to handle since she’s a big dog and gets easily excited but Bola was confident there would be no issue. Coco had a great day playing with the other doggies and came home nice and tired after her stay. Thanks Bola!”
“Ashley is amazing and was able to take my girls on short notice! They love spending time with Ashley and her daughter Marina and I know they are super well cared for! 🐾💜”
“Ksenia took great care of Lola while we were out of town! We were new to Rover and a bit anxious about the process but Ksenia made the process smooth and comfortable. We are grateful for the care and attention she gave Lola, so much so that we have already rebooked for another stay soon. Thanks again, Ksenia!”
“Tamara has been great! I had to make a last minute change in my stay and she was very accommodating. My pup is smiling and happy in all the pics she sends. I would book again!”
“Katrina is seriously the best!!! Truffles boarded with her over the weekend and she had the best time, cuddling and walking and playing. Katrina sent over multiple (adorably edited and captioned) pictures and videos throughout the day, complete with an end of day report card. I was totally at ease knowing Truffles was getting the best care :)”
“My Zoey had a great time with Cheyanne! Cheyanne was communicative and sent lots of pictures during Zoey's stay. She was incredibly patient with my flight delays that prevented me from picking up Zoey on time - very grateful for a kind and accommodating sitter!”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“I had a great experience with Sara. She communicated well and was really easy going. She sent pictures and videos. And our dog Boomer seemed to have a great time! I would happily book again!”
“Ann-Marie took great care of my fur baby while I was out of town. She sent pictures throughout the stay, maintained communication, and was flexible when we pushed our return to a later time. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to hiring her again in the future.”
“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”
“Andrea took great care of my dog for 5 days and I had a really positive experience. Communication was great the whole time, she was very sweet, and my dog seemed like she had a great time with her. She was also super thoughtful and flexible, she even offered to do drop-off for me, which I really appreciated. She also noticed my dog was running low on food and reached out right away to ask if it was okay to ration it, which I appreciated because it showed she was paying close attention and wanted to make sure everything was handled properly. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Katie was a great sitter. She frequently updated and let me know how my dog was. He seemed every happy at her place. Her dog is always very friendly and got along just fine with mine. Thanks again :)”
Oakland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Daphnay was amazing! Very professional and she sent a TON of pictures. I never felt like I had to worry about them, outside of my old girl being 15 soon. Lol. I have to make sure she's breathing at home. I highly recommend Daphnay, and I will definitely book with her in the future.
Anni took such amazing care of Bear on very short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bear wasn’t feeling his best when I dropped him off, and somehow he came back happy, comfortable, and healed from whatever he had going on that week. It was clear he was loved and well cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend Anni to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pet. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my little Bear! 🐻❤️
As a first-time Rover user, I'll admit I was a little hesitant to leave Ace with someone new — but Jane completely put those worries to rest. She was incredible with him from the start, keeping me updated with tons of photos and plenty of communication throughout. Ace got long walks and trips to the dog park, so I knew he was getting the interaction and exercise he needed. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience, and I'll absolutely be booking with Jane again!
Spencer took excellent care of my senior dog! He was accommodating and understanding of Mikey’s various quirks and health concerns, administered medications as instructed and sent frequent updates and cute pictures throughout the weekend. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!!
This was my first time using Rover and Kamiah was great. She made me feel so comfortable to leave my dog with her. She sent pictures and videos multiple times per day and it was clear my dog had a great stay. I highly recommend and will be using them again in the future!
