“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”

“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Aya! We went on our longest family trip and left our pup with Aya. She had great reviews and knew she would take good care of Sianna, while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures, and in each photo, our dog looked happy and was having fun. If you need to find excellent care for your dog, we highly recommend Rover and Aya! We trusted her with our beloved dog and know she will take great care of your too!”

“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”

“Initially I felt bad dropping my dog off, he was super nervous when I left but Achara helped him get settled in and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. She provided regular pictures so I could see him enjoying his time with new puppy friends and enjoying laying in the yard in the sun! I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”

“Roy was great. We had a very last minute booking and it was nice that he made the time to meet Baxter beforehand and get to know us as well. He kept communication with me the whole weekend. Took my pup on many walks and cuddled up for movie time with him. Will definitely be using Roy for future stays!”

“Deanna did an amazing job taking care of my two pups, Nala and Mushu! She made sure they were comfortable, well taken care of, and treated them like her own. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Nala and Mushu both looked happy, relaxed, and well adjusted in her home. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. Thank you so much, Deanna! I would definitely book with you again.”

“Zariyah is terrific. My spoiled pup just left Zariyah’s place after a 6 day stay. (Big deal for my household.) Downright heartwarming how my pup just sat at Zariyah’s feet calmly while she and I chatted about the stay. Spoke volumes about how safe my pup felt around her. Zariyah is excellent about the mechanics of boarding four-legged children: thorough meet-and-greet, wants and shares details about food / temperament / meds / etc., “proof of life” pics and videos throughout the stay. Will def be back. Thanks again, Zariyah.”

“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”

“Love staying with Axel Stanley and Christine! They are such a caring and loving household and will continue to reach out to them whenever I need some help with Eros.”

“Irina was amazing with my Benson. I could tell Benson really liked her and her family. They were all lovely. Benson almost didn’t want to say bye to her. She gave regular updates and sent pics and videos of him so that I know that he was safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!!”


“Megan was great! She was available for a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable leaving Daisy there. She updated on Daisy and was easy to get ahold of. I would definitely recommend Megan.”

“Awesome experience! Finnegan is a crazy boxer with lots of energy. Robert was patient, understanding and had lots of fun with Finn on adventures. I had no anxiety which is rare for me. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!!!!”

“Alexandra was great with my dog Lady. She kept me updated on how Lady was doing on a daily basis with photos and videos on occasions. I would definitely book Alexandra again.”

“Laura took wonderful care of my pup, Sylvie! Laura sent lots of pictures and updates during Sylvie's stay which were wonderful to receive and know that all was well.”


“Justin provided excellent care and companionship to our dog, a 65 lb pit mix, for five nights/six days. He took her on daily walks, was meticulous about giving her her joint supplement, and gave her lots of affection. I always love when dog sitters seem to genuinely enjoy having my dog around, and this was the case with Justin. We will definitely book again.”

Pocket dog parents share their Rover experiences
We have had Zariyah watch our dog River on a few occasions. River is always excited to go there and she has fun interacting with the other dogs and kids. Zariyah does a good job caring for our dog and she sends us pictures and videos during the stay to let us know how everything is going. We will definitely be having her watch our dog again in the future.

Charity dealt perfectly with my sweet pup who has separation anxiety a lot. She was able to get her to eat, plus she kept in excellent contact with me to let me know how Holly was doing throughout the day, as well as sent pictures. I will definitely use her again!

Laura was amazing. She made us feel at ease on our two week vacation knowing that our husky Miley was in good hands. The updates from Laura were appreciated and you could see the glow in Miley’s face that she was very happy in all her photos. I know Miley had a great time running around Laura’s big back yard. Would definitely book again for future vacations if available.

I had the best experience with Coryn! She sent me at least one photo update every day (often multiple! ☺️) which I really appreciated during my 10 day trip. Communication was always super easy and I never had to worry for a moment. Luna looked very happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable in every update. It’s clear she was well cared for and having a great time. I would absolutely book with Coryn again!

Meredith and her family were a 5 * booking. She was incredibly responsive. My pup instantly loved her and her family. She kept me informed of their daily routines, how she ate, and any concerns. You can tell Meredith is a natural dog lover. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you!

Hannah was amazing with my senior disabled dog. She was very communicative and provided regular updates and photos. I really appreciated that my dog was the only boarder for the time she was with Hannah. She went above and beyond and my dog returned happy, clean, and unstressed! I would definitely rebook
