“We were happy with Ron's and his family’s care for our dog, Deedee. We received regular updates, which was helpful during our time away. His kids really liked Deedee and played & walked with her which was really positive experience for us. Overall, Deedee appeared well-looked after.”


“Angela was so wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, gave frequent updates and pictures, and loved on our doggie while we were away. Our pup was so comfortable and happy during his stay there!”


“Diana is a lovely woman with a lovely home and yard that are very animal friendly. I left my senior girls with her- first time I've left them at anyone's house other than grandma's-and was never worried at all. I got updates and photos daily, as well as one video. She is very experienced with dogs and followed my 2-page "How to take care" document perfectly. Diana is warm and kind and your pups will be very well taken care of by her.”


“Mei, Andy and Mango were fabulous! They took care of Grizzly Bear so well! They were very caring and compassionate! They followed all instructions that suited my pet best. Highly Recommend!”


“Ann and Jim were absolutely wonderful!! We felt such peace of mind leaving our sweet dog in their care during our vacation. Ann was truly a pleasure to work with at each step; very responsive, accommodating, thoughtful, and kind. We are grateful to have found Ann on Rover, to have an excellent boarding option in the future.”


“Erica is a VERY thoughtful caretaker. Not only was our dog well-cared for, but she gave us helpful updates throughout his stay letting us know how happy and healthy our beloved pet was in Erica's home.”


“Thank you Annie and Ty (and your girls) for taking such great care of our boy Vinnie!! This is the first time we’ve done a Rover sit at someone’s house overnight and I was very comfortable leaving Vinnie for 4 nights. They provided daily updates and photos/videos. They contacted me right away when Vinnie’s eating was off which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Annie and Ty for any sitting needs you need for your pet! Thank you so much!! Vinnie can’t wait to come back hopefully soon!”



“Our favorite dog sitters! They take great care of our senior dog in their calm, dog-friendly home. They really pay attention to her and send daily updates.”


“Thank you Michelle & Steve for watching our Uni again! I’m glad he had sweet Daisy around with him while we were out of town! Until next time! 👌🏼”


“This was a last minute booking and it was the best. I got pictures daily and felt confident that my senior dog was well taken care of from his frequent potty breaks to his daily medication. I will really liked the fact the Marji only takes one dog at a time. I knew my dog had all the attention he needed. We will definitely be back on our next trip.”


“Gelare took such good care of my dog Nessa! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for pet care — she made drop off/pick up a breeze and sent helpful updates through the stay! When I came to pick up my dog at the end of my vacation, I could tell Ness was relaxed and chill and that she’d had a great couple days staying with Gelare. Thank you Gelare!! I would definitely book again.”


“Angela and her family cared for my dog with love and flexibility. Angela’s communication was excellent. I highly recommend her service!”


“My dog Benson had the best time with Jenny! She made everything easy to book, schedule, and drop off and pick up. She was quick with communication and sent fun pictures of Benson through his stay. He got lots of exercise and fun with her pup and looked so cozy and happy. He definitely was living his best life, I'm glad he even came back home with us :) We will definitely want Benson to stay with Jenny again!”


“I’m so glad that I found Hyun here on Rover. She’s very kind and super patient with my little Eevee who has a bit of separation anxiety. Hyun took her time to calm Eevee and very patient when Eevee barked at night in an unfamiliar environment. Highly recommend Hyun!”


“Nithya was great. My dog Cubby clearly had a good time and felt comfortable there. Nithya sent photos and updates and was great to work with. I’d recommend her to others for sure.”


“Cocoa Beans had a great stay! Norma was a great communicator and sent me lots of pics and updates. Cocoa is blind and I was a little worried but she was able to keep up with all the other dogs. I’ll def use Norma in the future.”


“We were so nervous about leaving Liam for the first time, but the second I left their driveway, we already got our first photo updates. He was having the best time. We were updated throughout his stay with videos and photos and training updates. We could not be happier. Booking again!!”


“Rachel was fantastic with my dog and was easy to work with when I had travel issues coming home. Definitely recommend.”


“Lisa was amazing with my dog Rudy! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than myself so I was a little anxious searching for someone who could give him the proper care. Lisa provided Rudy with a lot of love and attention, and was great at communication. Lisa gave Rudy his medication when needed, and even went above and beyond by getting him new food when he wouldn’t eat the kibble I brought! Lisa is great with reactive and energetic dogs, and her experience with other shepherds gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall I absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone, and I am very grateful that I have someone like her to watch my boy Rudy!”


“If you’re looking for dog loving sitter, look no further. Mae took away all my fears of leaving my beloved dog, Louis with just anyone. Louis got the best care from Mae and her boys. Mae made sure that Louis got walked, fed and received plenty of play time with the other doggies. Not to mention, Louis (he is very needy dog) got plenty of cuddles”
