“We had a wonderful experience with Kate! Kate and her family took great care of our pup, her house is very dog friendly, and I would happily book with Kate again! Thanks for everything!”


“Steph takes excellent care of Neo every time and reinforces his training. She sends daily updates and is super communicative and ensures all dogs are well taken care of and loved. Neo absolutely loves her and Yogi.”


“Debra takes such great care of our dog, we always know she's in good hands with her. Debra's updates and attention to detail are incredible. Best pet sitter we've had!”


“So grateful to Megan for her amazing communication, accommodating my needs with drop off/pick up and of course, best of all, the amazing love and care that Gemma received!”


“Anna was really great and communicative, both in answering our questions and sharing requirements before the trip, and then sharing updates and asking any questions she had while we were away. The dogs came home very happy and relaxed, which with separation anxiety is a HUGE win. We would love to leave the dogs with Anna again if the opportunity arises!”

“We are so lucky to have found Sam! Her professionalism and thoughtfulness made us feel confident leaving our pup with her for 2 weeks. She sent cute photos, videos, and updates every day so we knew our dog was well-cared for, loved, and comfortable. We will definitely use Sam's services again and highly recommend her to others.”


“Danielle and Joy are outstanding sitters! Our little boy is nearly 15 and on various meds for cancer, Cushing's and other random ailments. On top of that he's been through a lot of change recently, including the loss of his brother of 14 years. Danielle and Joy not only cared for his needs, but were conscientious of what was required and brought him comfort and happiness during his stay. They sent us photos regularly confirming all was well and weren't afraid to ask clarification questions before and during the booking. It brought us such joy and peace during our trip knowing he was doing so well. We wholeheartedly recommend Danielle and Joy and already have Rupert scheduled for his next stay.”

“We couldn’t be happier. Danielle took amazing care of our little one. We requested pictures and videos and she sent plenty. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”


“Chuck was great with Loki. He shared plenty of updates and photos about their day and Loki seemed to have a great time. I would definitely book with Chuck again.”


“Anne was a wonderful caretaker of our Bindi girl. Bindi is not an easy dog and Anne put our mind at ease since she was so attentive, caring, and loving of our dog Bindi. She grew up with pitbulls so we were at ease. Bindi got plenty of walks and was so tuckered out by the end of their time together. Thank you so much Anne. Bindi’s looking forward to seeing you again!”


“Regina is such a sweet person! My Pomeranian is so precious to me and leaving him with her was such a great experience. She was connected all the time, keeping me updated on how he’s doing. I’m definitely going to pick her every time !”


“Michelle is absolutely incredible🤩 she was wonderful with my pup, Robby. He has a lot of playful energy, but has an activity restriction due to an injury… so it was a big ask for someone to watch him while I was away & honestly I couldn’t have been luckier with Michelle. She was very communicative, adjusted to Robby’s needs, and took excellent care of him. They are the best of buds now and we will definitely be rebooking. If anyone is looking for a dog sitter, I would highly recommend Michelle😊”


“Lauren was wonderful!!! Our pup was in good care and she sent updates and pictures. We loved that she had a sweet dog to play with our dog and she is great with communication!”


“Shu was very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. She boarded my older dog for 9 days and I am entirely grateful for the great care my dog received. She provided regular updates and several photos which helped me feel at ease while being several states away. She also updated me on his health and general state of well-being and ensured he was well taken care of. Shu went above and beyond in her care, and I'd recommend her services to anyone in the local area.”


“Ling really went out of her way to assure our little loaf Austin was cared for and his schedule was not disrupted! We were treated to daily updates with photos & videos on walks and off leash play time! Would absolutely recommend Ling to anyone without hesitation. She will be our first choice future forward when we’re not able to bring our pup on adventures.”


“Jessica was an amazing dogsitter for our pup who stayed with her for a full week. Jessica communicated with us often while our dog was with her and cared for him as if he was her own dog. It's clear she has a love for dogs and a lot of experience caring for them. Jessica's care gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. I would fully recommend Jessica without any reservations. ★★★★★”


“Danielle was amazing with my senior pup! She took the time to meet my dog before hand, and asked great questions to ensure that my dog would have a great stay and be as comfortable as possible. She was great at communicating during the stay as well, will happily book with Danielle again!”


“She was lovely and flexible! My dog had never been boarded before and it went beautifully. Then, when my flight got canceled she was willing to extend his stay.”


“We also appreciated Adam’s communication and flexibility, as well as his comfort with our sometimes nervous yet larger dog. He updated us and was very thorough and Greta was a happy and comfortable pup at pickup. Highly recommended!”


“The literal perfect sitter! Egor was incredibly communicative about our dog's stay with him, and provided tons of photos of our pup enjoying his time with him and his pup. Our dog can be an anxious buddy, but Egor took everything in stride and really understands anxious dogs on a deeper level and showed only compassion and kindness towards our dog. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter.”

Portage Bay dog parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Marazzano to anyone looking for a sitter. His love for animals is clear from the start. He took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the entire stay.

Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.

Ayesha was great! She responded quickly to my last-minute request, which I really appreciated. Ruby and her pup hit it off—both poodles and close in age, they were a perfect match. Everything went smoothly, and I’d definitely book with her again!

Dayana was so incredible with my dog Peanut. She kept me updated all the time and spent lots of time with her. Peanut was very well taken care of and I would absolutely recommend Dayana if you need someone to trust with your dog!

Wookiee stayed with Sara and Porter for 2 nights. Sara sent pictures everyday which was greatly appreciated. communication was easy - she was always quick to respond. Overall a good experience. will look at using Sara again in the future.

Arlo always has such a fun time boarding with Sally and co. He gets tons of playtime, cuddles, and socialization with new and familiar furry friends. The side adventure to Molly Moon's had Arlo feeling like a local celebrity for looking like the dang logo! He's been acting like a guest star on a very special episode ever since. 10/10 every time!

Emily was so great with watching my pup, Bella! She was communicative and flexible. I could tell Bella had a wonderful time with her 😊 I will definitely be reaching back out to Emily the next I need a dog sitter!

Christine and her partner are wonderful with my dog Sloan who she has boarded multiple times. My pup can be anxious in a new environment, but she is excited to see Christine when we arrive, and happy and tired when I pick her up. Christine is very communicative and has been flexible when I’ve had to have friends pick up/drop off Sloan. She also send pictures which is always appreciated.

She was amazing with our dog Daisy! Super attentive and caring the whole time. She even brought Daisy to our wedding venue so we could take some photos with her! A moment I’ll never forget. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs!

Jackson was great! He took great care of my little guy, sent a good number of updates, and was easy to communicate with about pickup/dropoff/etc. Definitely a go-to sitter
Always watches Jasper with the utmost care. He needs a lot of TLC with his medication regimen, and Jasmine did a great job

Daniel and Tiffany were so great with Poppy! She was well taken care of, taken on adventures, and I can tell she had a great time!

The absolute best! VERY flexible and sweet, my pup Annie adored them! I appreciate them for taking care of my pup for about 12days and accommodating her complex care needs. When my pup ran out of food, due to an extended stay, they offered to go and buy more without hesitation. 10/10 recommend, and my pup will always come back!

Lily loved staying with Ruslana. Very communicative and sent lots of pics. I had never used Rover but this was a great experience. I will book again next time I’m out of town. Thank you so much 💓

Kirsten was so wonderful and took great care of Baxter! He loved playing in the yard with Mia and had so much fun!

Rachel and her dogs are so sweet. My dog had the best time running around with her little pup all weekend. She was also amazingly flexible as my flight got delayed and we had to add another night last minute to our booking with her. Thanks so much for the great accommodation! We will definitely rebook in the future.

Kevin was very attentive and responsive. He was patient with our nervous boy and found lots of ways to get puppy energy expended for both pups. He sent updates and pics of the pups with big smiles on their faces!! He is in a busy part of the city so it was a good opportunity for our pups to get socialization too.

Christina and Bandit were amazing! Easy to communicate with and trustworthy. Will definitely choose her again.
