“Lee is incredible! We boarded our dog Mochi with her for two weeks while we traveled, and Lee took wonderful care of her. Mochi can be nervous around new people and dogs, and Lee made sure she was comfortable and safe in her care. Lee is also super communicative and responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Alexandra was great at communicating and following instructions we left for our pup. We got daily updates and she answered any and all questions quickly and with care. Would definitely re-book!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”

“Lily was super flexible and accommodating with our uncertain dates for care, communicative throughout the process and stay, and our little bichon came back happy, well fed and well exercised!”
“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”
“I was in desperate need of a dog sitter for my puppy Shelby before a work trip and Chad really came through. I instantly felt comfortable leaving Shelby with him and his family. Shelby and his Pom became instant friends as Chad sent me pictures of them snuggling together.”
“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
“I had an excellent experience with this dog sitter caring for my elderly dog. They ensured that all of my dog’s needs were met — from medication management to gentle exercise and plenty of love. Their regular updates gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, caring support for their senior pet.”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”
“Alexis provided excellent daycare for Roxer today. She kept him engaged and active, sent cute photo updates throughout the day, and he came home tired and happy. Roxer most definitely enjoyed his time and I will definitely use Alexis again for daycare needs!”
“Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!”
“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”
“Dvora was wonderful! My dog Ziva had a great 10 day stay with Dvora and her dog Shira. Dvora took her hiking a bunch, sent cute photos, and made sure that my picky dog was still eating enough. I came home to a happy, tired pup!”
“Albina is so amazing with Izzy. She loves it there. So greatful to Albina. It feels so good to be able to leave my puppy with someone I know will take such good care of her. They are besties by now ❤️.”

Rancho San Antonio dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandra was an exceptional sitter! My dog Ruth gets nervous in new environments and Alexandra was sensitive to her specific needs, allowing her space when she first arrived so Ruth had time to get comfortable. Alexandra sent pictures and videos of Ruth playing so I know Ruth had a great time. I highly recommend her!
My baby girl, Athena, had a blast with Rob! It was so nice knowing that she was enjoying her vacation while I was enjoying mine. Rob sent me updates and pictures and took Athena on walks and to the dog park every day. Rob was also very flexible when my trip did not go according to plan and I needed to extend the stay by 1 day. I will definitely be rebooking because Athena was well taken care of and loved!
Claudia was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pet and kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind the entire time. She was always quick to respond to any messages and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I truly appreciate her kindness and reliability. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
My mind was 100% at ease during Baxter’s stay with Andrea! As usual, she took excellent care of him, and he had a great time hanging with his bestie Bennett. Andrea sent updates and pics regularly, and she is always wonderful in communications. Thank you so much!!
Baxter had a great stay with Kim and her crew of pups! Kim provided regular updates with helpful details on how Baxter was doing, which put my mind at ease since it was his first stay there. He got lots of play time and enjoyed the backyard/garden. Kim is always friendly in her communications. I'd love for Baxter to stay with Kim again!
Alexis is top-notch. We left our two dogs for a week in very short notice. As others have said, she reliably sends updates, with pictures which provided us such peace of mind. She also gave one of our dogs a daily medication and a cream. Both dogs came back happy, healthy and clean. We couldn’t be more pleased with Alexis’s services.
I’m blown away! Our dog requires a bit of extra work due to some medical issues. We found it difficult to find a ‘rover’ willing to put in the extra effort to take care of our little guy and thankfully, it led us to Mariana & Julian. They put us to ease immediately. The organization, care, communication and love we received truly blew us away and Baxter simply thrived in their household.
The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Bobby. Every interaction, from our first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed warmth, canine knowledge, and professionalism. Puck is a rescue with some serious PTSD and social anxiety, so in our initial conversation with Bobby we discussed whether his rescue, River, would get along well with Puck. He assured us of River’s gentle nature in language that conveyed an excellent understanding of canine personalities and interactions, and we felt comfortable going ahead with a meet and greet. River was just as Bobby described, and Puck was shy as always but clearly not panicked or overly anxious . . . River’s easy vibe comforted him. My husband and I really liked Bobby, so we went ahead with scheduling the 5 day stay. We left in confidence when we dropped Puck off, and in the following days received regular updates and photos. I love that Bobby is so affectionate with the dogs; there is a lot of love there, and it shows in the demeanor of Puck and River. Puck seemed to quickly learn that he could curl up and snuggle with Bobby whenever he wanted, earning a “He’s a snugglebug” comment from Bobby . . . . yup, that’s what everyone calls him lol. When we picked up Puck, he was of course delirious with joy to see us, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. We could see that he had developed a relationship with Bobby, and that he felt safe and loved. When we arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Bobby, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home, and for the priceless experience of positive socializing with River . . . . we will be reaching out again in the future when we have travel plans.
