“Roseli has become our got to sitter and also part of our little family! As alway she was amazing in keeping us updated and sending pictures/videos. She is just amazing!”

“This is the second time we leave our fur baby with Maria. She didn’t disappoint. She is caring and loving with our baby. Drop off and pick up are easy. We will be using her again.”

“Margarita, As usual, we thank you for taking such good care of Leiney. He is always happy when we return home and always eager to stay with you. We appreciate all your loving care you give him. And we appreciate the photos you send. We won't hesitate to contact you again to dog sit. J,J,V, and Leiney”

“Will definitely contact Maria for all future fur-sitting needs. I was skeptical of using Rover but was in a last minute pinch. Maria was so great! Fred looked happy upon pick up. He looks well taken care of and she also sent me daily pictures and updates throughout the week.”

“Our new puppy found a home away from home staying with Danielle! I can’t recommend her enough. The whole family (including pets!) is so welcoming, we received lots of pictures, videos, and updates while we were gone, and we could easily tell she was in good hands.”


“I highly recommend Kayla. She sticks to my dog’s feeding routine, keeps me updated with photos, and treats him like her own. It makes traveling so much less stressful.”

“Amazing experience! Our 8 month old dog was timid at first meeting new people and other dogs, so we were worried. Within an hour, Tia already sent us pictures and a video of her dogs playing with ours. She continuously sent us videos and photos multiple times a day during our trip. Our dog had a blast and was so worn out from playing with Tia's dogs, she literally slept the entire day after we picked her up. We couldn't be more grateful for our dogs wonderful experience and the surprise goodie bag that was slipped in with our dogs stuff was adorable. Thank you to Tia and her family for everything!”

“Vanessa was so great watching my dogs which so short notice, my gentle giants dogs took over her couch and they loved it!! Now are home are so exhausted from a full day of playing! Thank you Vanessa.”

“OMG WE LOVE JAMIEEEEEE!!!!! Jamie and her family were amazing in every way!! Jamie is a true dog mom so right from the start you could feel that instant connection!!.. Out little girl Pinky was happy and playing with their dog Evie and fit right in with the rest of the family. She took care of her as it f she was her own,,, It is a beauuutiful atmosphere, a beautiful family and a BEAUTIFUL mom who watched over our little girl with love. We look forward to having Pinky spend more time with Jamie and her family in the near future, Thank you JAMIE you are the BEST!!!!!!!!”

“Wil is the best. He watched Cody for 2.5 weeks while we were out of town. I can tell Cody was comfortable and got enough exercises. Wil kept us updated by sending pictures and videos for the first week. My kids missed Cody and seeing his pictures helped. I'm glad that I found Wil and I'll consider using his service again in the future”

“Ariana took wonderful care of my Poppy. She made her feel comfortable and happy. She also sent us pictures of her every day. I am extremely pleased with the care she took of Poppy and will definitely use her again if needed.”

“This review is 2 months late cuz we got so busy but we wanted to write this because our Daisy had a great time! We were traveling to FL to drop off our daughter to her college program. We originally didn’t plan on going to any of the Disney parks but when we found about Rover and read about Jerry we felt comfortable about leaving our Daisy with him. He took her in last minute and we were able to get tickets for Epcot AND Hollywood Studios (2 overnight stays with a day in between). He sent us pictures and made us feel at ease. She had a great time. I loved when he told me she slept with him on his bed. Thank you Jerry, we’ll definitely be back to visit when we’re in FL again!”

“Christopher took good care of Scout for almost 2 weeks while we were out of the country. He made sure she got along with his dogs, went outside in the yard, and had time to play. We really appreciated the photos, videos and updates he provided!”

“I will be using Marco & mara again such a nice couple and our lily was so happy 😊 she loved it there got her home and she just went to sleep they tired her out with all the excitement and playing they did highly recommend them”

Oakland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Connor was incredible with our babies! Our two chi-poos stayed with Connor for a week. He is easy going and very attentive to the dogs needs. He sent updates with pictures everyday. When we picked them up they were happy and well cared for!! We will definitely be using Connor again!
