“This is the first time we have used Rover, and were delightfully surprised by how easy and straightforward the process was. And, Goharik and her family were the best! My dog Bubba, can be a picky eater in strange situations, but Goharik even went so far as to spoon feed him, that is above and beyond indeed! He came out of that house two days later, absolutely exhausted from playing with her dogs, a happy camper for sure. Anytime I find myself in Sparks, NV, I'll happily turn Bubba over to her.”


“Christina and fam are wonderful! It's very clear that they deeply care for their own pets and did everything possible to make sure our two little old ladies were right at home. For me, one of the biggest ways to tell how things went is during pick up. When I got there, my dogs were of course excited to see me but clearly felt right at home with Christina, weren't stressed out or any of those other kinds of things you might look out for. We are so pleased with everything, we are booking again!”


“Leaving your pet with someone is never easy, but Susan made me feel entirely comfortable from when we did our meet & greet! During my dog's stay, she sent lots of pictures and I could tell my pup was having the best time. Susan was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely be using her again in the future, as my experience with her was absolutely amazing!”


“This was first time leaving my dog with Wendy and Dave and we had a great experience. They were so kind and loving with my baby while I was away. He had a great time and we would definitely use Wendy again. I highly recommend!”


“Aaron was great! He took Ollie for the first time while we were traveling through Reno for a concert. He was kind and had a nice home and nice area for Ollie to hang out and plenty of trails in the area for him to walk! Thanks!”



“Ron's care of our two senior dogs was wonderful. Ron sent us daily updates to include photos which made our vacation better knowing they were in great care. One of our pups had a minor medical condition that Ron was attentive to, and we could tell her care was his priority. We actually felt bad picking up our pups knowing that they were going to miss their time with Ron. We highly recommend leaving your pups with Ron!”


“Melissa is the best. We are so grateful we found her to take our pup. Tootsie always comes home happy and well taken care of. Melissa makes it so easy to leave her knowing she is in great hands.”


“Maggie was so happy when I picked her up. June was fabulous, sending pictures and updates frequently. I have no doubt Maggie felt right at gome. We will happily use June again!”


“Christie was great! She was responsive and accommodating and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog with her for a week! Will definitely be reaching out to her again for more dog sitting. Thank you Christie!”


About: I have an almost 3 year old White Swiss Shepherd dog who is very social and wants to come on walks with your dog! I love dogs and nothing makes me happier than getting social time for mine. I personally trained my dog to do many charming tricks (like play dead!) and would love to help teach yours too! My dog is great with other dogs of all sizes including puppies as long as they are not aggressive. I work part time and remotely so am flexible for last minute bookings. I’m often out on walks with my own dog and would love to take yours out with us. My dog loves to get a lot of exercise and I’m happy to give your high energy dog a lot of play and walk time with mine! I will come to your neighborhood or house where it’s most convenient to watch or walk your dog. My dog is very well behaved and social with other dogs.

“Hazelle and Ryan have been the best. My dog Daisy gets so excited every time she visits. She gets her exercise and love. They have also been very flexible with my schedule. I'm so glad I found them.”


“Sophia took excellent care of our pup, Murphy! She provided daily updates with photographs, took him on multiple walks per day, snuggled with him, and treated him like he was her own! She was always available by call or text if we needed her. We felt perfectly comfortable and safe leaving our baby in her capable hands. We highly recommend her care for any of your pets, and would definitely use her services again for our future needs.”


“Luke’s friendly and professional manner put us at ease, and we knew our dog was in good hands. Luke thoughtfully kept us updated through our dog’s stay. Luke provided substantial outdoor walking time and behavior tips that were greatly appreciated. We are booked for another stay. It is great working with a pro!”


“Johanna was so great with our dog. She made sure to do lots of fun things with her to make it a great weekend while we were away. She took her swimming, which is Rooney’s all time favorite thing, took lots of pictures, and I know Rooney was well loved while we were away!”



“Ashley was so good with Ripp! I never worried the minute I dropped him off. She was very welcoming and her dog Pilot was super good with Ripp! Would totally recommend her and would love to use her again!”


“Skyline, I can’t thank you enough for saving our butts last minute! We were so excited to take Tommy camping but once we saw how hot it was going to be, we knew we had to leave him behind. You were so responsive and shared so many fun videos and pictures. It was clear that Tommy was having a blast with you and your pups. I love how much time you spent outside and in the water. Two of his favorite things. Can’t wait to use your services again.”


“Brad was the best! He took such wonderful care of Scout and was super communicative. Scout had a great time there. She loved her walks and had a great time with the other dogs he was taking care of, too. We’ll definitely be back in touch with Brad next time we’re up in Truckee!”

“Kelsie took excellent care of Murphy while we were away from 8AM to 10PM for a wedding. Kelsie was prompt to arrive at the drop off and pick up location, easy to communicate with and sent pictures as requested. Murphy was happy when we picked him up, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Kelsie again.”

Ponderosa Palisades dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kathy and her husband, Dennis, took wonderful care of our dog, Kyah. It was her first time with them and she settled in with them quickly. She got lots of love, outside time, walks every day, and was treated like family. They live in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for dogs. Kathy provided many photos to keep us updated on Kyah’s activities and how she was doing, which we greatly appreciated.

Luke’s friendly and professional manner put us at ease, and we knew our dog was in good hands. Luke thoughtfully kept us updated through our dog’s stay. Luke provided substantial outdoor walking time and behavior tips that were greatly appreciated. We are booked for another stay. It is great working with a pro!

Scott was great. From the moment I dropped-off my dog, I knew he was in good hands. First off, my dog Leroy is 100-pounds of knuckle-walking muscle. Lots of people (inc. past sitters) are shocked & a little terrified by his appearance; Scott was NOT. He let Leroy run right into his home and let him sniff and explore to his heart's content. When I told Scott that Leroy usually sleeps in bed with me, he said "Great! Leroy will do the same here". And when Leroy let out an explosion of watery poop in Scott's garden, Scott was entirely unfazed. He said "rice & chicken for dinner? is that okay?" Of course it was okay. It was exactly what I would do. Ultimately, i told Scott to treat Leroy like he treats his own dog Brea & I'm pretty sure he did just that.

Mikoh had a great time with Ziggy & Meghan! Meghan was so communicative with us prior to meeting, and did a great job keeping us updated throughout the stay. I appreciated that Meghan also gave him exercise with nice trails & walks during the stay. I would look no further for a caring, responsible & communicative Rover in the Tahoe & Truckee area!

Karlee was a great companion for our dog while we were away. She treated him like her own, and sent updates and photos of their adventures! I would definitely hire her again in the future. It’s obvious that she is a true animal lover and knows how to take very good and attentive care of our pets.
