“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”


“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!”


“Andrea is amazing! We left our dog with her for about a week, and our dog was comfortable the entire time and had so much fun. She’s very sweet and attentive, and our dog gets along so well with her two dogs. We loved the daily updates and photos/videos.”


“Best pet sitter in the East Bay, Philly was walked and well-taken care of, updates were amazing and adorable, Kelly even gave me her harness and included dried sweet potato treat sticks for Philly, 10/10 recommend. Thank you Kelly!”


“Chad was great with our pups. It's such a relief to find a good sitter and Chad is one of those people! He has a great place with a big backyard and nice house for the dogs to romp around in. He was very communicative both during our meet and greet as well as during their first stay with him. One of our dogs is a bit skittish with people but warmed right up to Chad, which is a testament to him and his ability to make her feel at ease. We already have another date on the calendar with him. Highly recommended.”


“Janely was so sweet and kind. She sent multiple pictures everyday and even offered to buy food for my dog when he wasn't eating properly! I would definitely book again :)”


“Hy and Arlo are very warm people and they took excellent care of my dog Kushi. Being a senior dog, they followed all the care instructions and also offered to prepare meals for her. They were very prompt in communication and sent daily updates too. I highly recommend their services.”


“Alexis and her roommate very curious to learn about Puffy as I dropped him off which was nice. They were very communicative and kept me up to date with texts and pictures. Thanks alot!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Koko received from Miki. She helped me to pickup my rescue dog from the shelter. The situation it’s very difficult for me when I am living out of state. It was very clear how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while waiting for someone transport Koko back to AZ. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Highly highly recommend!”


“Benito was well cared for and happy during his stay. Isaac and Jordan followed the care guide we provided and sent frequent updates. Definitely rebooking when the need comes up Thanks again!”


“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”


“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”


“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”


“Valarie was accommodating and ready to customize care for our pet to make her feel at home. We were even able to make weird timing work since Valarie stays up late. Valarie also provided updates while we were away and I feel confident our pet was well taken care of. I will use her again!”


“Kit was great with our dog! He stayed with her over Xmas. We were constantly updated on his status and were sent photos of him playing. He didn’t want to leave when we came back to get him! Will definitely be rebooking with Kit again :)”


“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”

Patten dog parents share their Rover experiences
Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.

I decided to look for someone local to care for my fur baby, Meila, while I went away for the weekend. I realized it was a last minute request so I was not expecting to be as lucky as I was to find someone who lived close by and had availability. During Meila's stay Valarie kept me very informed and shared a number of photos which allowed me to feel I made a good choice.

I am grateful I found these two wonderful people. I am always nervous dropping off my dog at a boarders house especially considering I had no way of meeting them before hand due to travel. Walking through the double gates I felt better. The yard is well maintained and I did not observe any immediate dangers. Dizzy was a bit nervous but all of the pictures I was sent made me feel so much better. When I picked my boy up he was obviously excited to see me but there was no anxiety. I will always use their services when available Thank you both so much.

Lee was very hands on and helpful keeping us aware of daily routines, which was good with a former shelter pup and a nervous first time dog owner. Dogs in Lee's care are obviously a top priority, and her approach made me confident that my doggie was in good hands. We will definitely be back when we need help again!

Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.

I can’t say enough great things about Xiajun! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—keeping him well-fed, walked, and most importantly, happy. Their flexibility was a huge help with my unpredictable schedule, and they were incredibly considerate, always checking in and making sure my pup’s needs came first. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Xiajun to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

My dog Winston had a lovely stay with Tiffany & Lauren! Winston is a bit of a grumpy old man and a real couch potato, and he got along really well with their dog Guapa. I wanted him to have a mellow place to stay while I was away, and their place was the perfect getaway. They sent some pictures of him throughout the stay, which I really loved!
