Portola Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
She’s one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! Alicyn provided a warm, cozy home for my dog while I was out of town—probably taking even better care of him than I do. She’s incredibly responsible, responsive, and caring. This has been one of my best experiences entrusting my dog to someone else. I highly recommend her!
Daria is an awesome sitter and I’ll be recommending her to our family and friends. She took such great care of our maltipoo, Gigi, and provided updates and photos for the 11 days we were on vacation. She was attentive to details and made our baby girl feel loved and cared for! I will definitely book with her again for future trips!
Nelson and Nancy continue to come through for us. We were really stretched thin when a family member unexpectedly ended up in the hospital. They were so wonderful, understanding, and flexible with our ever-changing schedule that happens in these cases. They removed so much stress from an already intense situation and we can't thank them enough!
Hector was an amazing pet sitter. He often reassured me on what my puppy, Tsuki, was doing each day. He would send multiple pictures and videos of her walks and when she would eat and drink, and even play. I would most definitely choose Hector in a heartbeat again for future stays.
Alison was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucas! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, and even let him sleep next to her for comfort. It was clear Lucas felt safe and loved the entire time. Alison was so kind, patient, and attentive, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’m beyond grateful and would 100% trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter!
We returned home to a happy and healthy dog. It's clear that Jazmin G. goes above and beyond to provide excellent care. We highly recommend Jazmin G. to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be rebooking for our next vacation!
