“10/10 stars! This was our second time having Carlos watch our pup and it was an amazing experience. I could clearly see how much Whiskey enjoyed his time as when we dropped him off the second time, he acted like we were not there. He immediately wanted to go on a walk with Carlos when he got there. On top of that Carlos sends frequent updates and almost professional like photos! Highly recommend Carlos for anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Marcela is reliable, kind, and compassionate. Our dog is always happy to go to her house, as he’s treated like family. Thank you, Marcela, for another great boarding experience!”

“I was concerned about leaving my dog with a sitter for anything more than a few days because he has issues with other dogs and can be a handful on walks. I was relieved to learn that Yolismal had experience with dogs like mine, and I felt that she understood my concerns. She sent me photos and updates, and I could tell that she took care to ensure he was well cared for. I loved that there is a yard and green space outside. I will absolutely use Yolismal again, She gave me the peace of mind I needed that my dog was going to be well-taken care of so I could enjoy my vacation.”

“Ada watched our 2 maltipoos for the first time for a week while we were on vacation. I was a little worried because one is only one years old and hasn’t been around a lot of dogs. Ada was so sweet and reassured me that he will be okay. She sent pictures each day of the dogs cuddling and having a great time. She was great with them and I will definitely use her again!”

“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”

“So happy we found you Megha and Irene! We can tell how much Trixie loves being with you and your family. She is tired and sad after she is back from your place. All of us are so happy!!”

“Jona was very easy to work with and took amazing care of our best friend! We felt comfortable knowing Phoebe was in great hands. At our meet and greet, it took Phoebe less than a minute before she was curled up next to Jona asking for a belly rub. During Phoebe's stay, Jona kept us updated throughout the day letting us know Phoebe was happy and well cared for. Phoebe followed Jona around the house and to bed each night - proving how quickly they bonded. Phoebe takes medication twice a day and that was no problem for Jona. Phoebe requires a lot of attention and love and Jona gave her that and more. We will absolutely plan to book again with Jona. I am very happy and Phoebe was so happy!”

“Does a great job giving updates when asked. Got some great pics. Treated Ilona like she was part of the family. They bonded with her so much they were sad to see her leave.”


“Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet baby! You provided daily updates and I could tell my sweet Piper was living her best life. I can’t wait to plan my next trip and when I do you will be my preferred pet sitter.”

“David and his family were the perfect stay for Peach. They treated peach as their own dog and had her feel at home. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures l. Highly recommend. Definitely will use them again!”

“As always, Kimberly is fantastic. She has very good communication and we trust her so so much! Our little guy can be difficult, so we are very thankful to have found her to watch him.”

“Chelsea-Jo and her family were great to Coco. We had a great first experience with Rover. She was available last minute when our original sitter cancelled on the night we were to leave town for a Funeral. Her house was clean and her and her husband were super friendly! She updated me many times, including pictures, on how Coco was doing. From the photos, they played with her and she was happy and treated as she was one of their own. I would highly recommend using Chelsea-Jo and will definitely see if she’s available in the future when we need a sitter.”

“Melissa was fantastic! She made Cooper feel like he had a second home and family while I was out of town for a few days. I will definitely make Melissa my first choice next time I need to take a trip.”

“Stacy was a wonderful choice for our dog Bella! She informed us when she was on the way, gave us updates with pictures of her at her home, and the communication was seamless! Her kids enjoyed the time with our dog as well! I highly recommend if you need a dog sitter! A+++++”

“Rebecca was great! She invited us for a meet and greet prior to booking. She communicated with me both via text and photos while I was away. She was willing to let my pick her up early and kept us up to date on how our puppy, Stormi, was doing during a very long extended stay as I was on an international trip for 2 weeks. She also had some other puppies who had the same energy level as our dog during her stay, so Stormi has someone to play with. Rebecca has a great fenced in back yard where the pups can run and play!”

“My dog had an excellent stay with Rosario! She kept me posted constantly with photos of breaks and walks, and responded very quickly to my messages. I appreciate that my dog had a big space to run around in and another dog to keep him company during his stay.”

“We love Telma! We can tell that our dog had a fantastic time with Telma. She also always sends us photos and is very communicative. We will definitely return for Telma’s service. Thank You once again!”


“Had a fantastic experience! From the very first message, they were responsive, friendly, and professional. They took excellent care of our dog Cubbie, sending regular updates and photos that put our minds at ease while we were away. Will definitely book again!”

Pohick dog parents share their Rover experiences
Teddy had the best time with Melissa and Clay! He felt like one of the pack with their two dogs - going on adventures together! They sent so many pictures that I knew he was having a fabulous time. We even debated if he missed us because he was having such a blast!! We will absolutely be sending him back.

Jennifer once again took great care of my pup. Even when Daisy's care at the last minute became more involved, she didn't hesitate to care for her. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind Jennifer gives me so I can enjoy vacation and not worry about the care of my pup.

As always Marcella goes above and beyond for our senior pup. He’s getting older and has been struggling with different foods. Marcella cooked him different foods just to make him comfortable. It’s hard having senior dogs but knowing he’s being cared for so we don’t worry is a blessing! Thank you so much Marcella!
Megha and Irene gave us the best Rover experience we’ve had so far! From the very beginning, we felt that Bärry was in wonderful hands. They sent us daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was easy to see how happy and relaxed Bärry was with them. He received so much love and attention and clearly had a great time during his stay. They are such a warm and caring family, and we truly couldn’t be happier with how everything went. We will absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!

Nicole was absolutely wonderful. She was so responsive to everything from our meet and greet to keeping me informed & sending updates often for how our pup was doing. I knew our pup was in good hands with her - gave me a sense of calm while on my trip that my pup was safe and with such a kind and caring person. 100% recommend Nicole!

John is great. My dog got along great with theirs. Maddy is 14 years old and has arthritis. He was very attentive and let me know she was limping one day and also kept an eye where I had cut her nail too short the day before dropping her off. He sent nice photos and gave frequent updates.

Stephanie was very responsive and receptive to a meet and greet before booking. I was nervous, as our dog was still recovering from surgery, but at the meet and greet, Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and was very accommodating to Sasha. She was very open to our weird schedules for drop off and pick up. We will definitely book her again!
Gabriela took great care of our 5 month old pup when we went on an extended vacation. She put us at ease and sent regular photos and updates, and was friendly and easy to communicate with. She was very attentive and understanding of our dog’s needs. Would highly recommend her as a sitter!

Cortney was an outstanding dog sitter! From start to finish she was an excellent communicator. She asked great questions and sought to understand our dog’s schedule and needs so that we felt 100% confident our dog would be in good hands during our trip. During the trip she provided updates that let us know our dog was doing well. It is obvious that Cortney and her family love caring for dogs and we know our dog had a great experience staying with her! She will be our go- to Rover contact next time we have a need. Highly recommend!

My experience with Azaria was fantastic. My dog can be a bit shy and suspicious with strangers but she worked her magic and had him feeling at ease. She was happy to accommodate for all of my instructions and his needs. She provided frequent updates so I never had to wonder how they were getting along. I wouldn't hesitate to book Azaria again!

Outstanding boarding experience. Andrew (and Bubby) took great care of my dog Nala during my 19-day work trip, which included a massive snowstorm. Great communication, lots of updates, pictures, and a great experience for my dog. Andrew's setup is great. He is very present with your dog (works from home), has a fenced yard which allows for outdoor playtime, and has a very friendly dog of his own. I could not recommend Andrew more strongly.
