Lissette and Bernie were super communicative and sent us lots of photos of Pebbles playing, walking and relaxing on her stay! It was our first time leaving her with a sitter while we traveled, and we felt very at ease leaving her with them, especially with her being a puppy!

Nadia is amazing! She automatically made me feel comfortable with her knowledge of animals and her presence. Normally I would be worried to leave my dog to go out of the country, but Nadia made it such an easy and pleasant experience. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She respected all of the care instructions I left and made sure Moose was well taken care of. She and her husband treated him like family and made him feel welcome and spoiled with love, which I so appreciated. She truly is one of a kind and Moose really enjoyed his stay with her. I will definitely be booking with her again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our shy mini doxie! Danielle was incredibly responsive and sent us daily updates with photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Despite booking last minute, she was flexible and accommodating with our schedule. She handled our pup’s shy nature with patience and care, and we could tell our dog felt comfortable with her. We highly recommend Danielle’s services and will definitely book with her again!

Amy did an amazing job taking care of our Luna! She did a great job communicating updates with plenty of pictures and videos. Luna got to go on hikes and became best friends with Amy’s sweet dog, Sylvie too! Amy had great attention to detail- Luna is a poodle so we always pack a brush in case it’s needed, but have no specific expectations with it, since it’s definitely labor of love! Amy is the first Rover sitter to actually brush her! We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking to board their pup!

Paula took care of Kenny for six days. She did a wonderful job! He is recovering from CCL surgery and she was very attentive to his safety and comfort. He has some separation anxiety but was very comfortable staying with her. I would definitely use Paula again.

Svitlana really knows dogs. She walked my dog and sent pics and got to know her quirks quickly. Svitlana also continued with the same house rules we use at home. I will definitely have Pi stay with her again!

Basil was great with our 10 month old puppy! Very attentive and caring, and communicated with us when our dog seemed to not be doing well. Our dog returned home happy and healthy. We would definitely recommend Basil for pet sitting.

This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.

Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!
