“Excellent family to watch your dog. I left my one year old Aussie with them and she loved their yard to run around and the attention of the adults and children. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future. Daily photos helped my anxiety of not seeing my pup”

“Haru’s 3rd time with Albina and I can say she’s very comfortable with her! She’s very patient with Haru, very responsive and accommodating with us and just really nice and kind! We definitely recommend her and will surely see her again soon!”

“Yulia asked very thoughtful questions in preparation to Stella’s stay, she was also very communicative throughout the stay sending me constant updates and pictures.”

“Greg was amazing with my German Shepherd Luna! He really made the space comfortable for her, gave fantastic updates and no problems giving her her medication. Such a great experience! Appreciate him so much & will book again! 10/10”

“Irina and her family take such good care of my cat Max! It is such a comfort to know that my kitty is in such kind, loving hands when I am away. Irina’s family treats Max as if he was their own, which means the world to me! I cannot say enough amazing things about Irina! She is an angel!”

“Jenny is great. I am always very nervous about putting my pup in others care but I felt very comfortable with Jenny. Communication was great. My pup seemed to do very well. We hope to keep booking with Jenny in the future!”

“This is my second time booking with Daria, and once again, they exceeded my expectations! My dog absolutely loves them, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She provides regular updates, photos, and truly treats my dog like their own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pet makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you again for your outstanding care!””

“I would definitely recommend Angelica, took amazing care of my dog! She is easy to communicate with, making drop off/pick up a breeze! I will for sure use her again in the future!”

“Sevan was absolutely wonderful! I felt very confident leaving my dog with him as he is a true professional who speaks with dogs the same language. I highly recommend!”

“Bertha was wonderful! I am hesitant to leave my dog with new people but Eugene settled in so easily with Bertha P. She was incredibly thoughtful about pictures and updates, and that made my time away so much more relaxing!”

“My dog, Sophie, loves Frances. She was so excited to see Frances again, she didn't even care I was leaving. Frances provided lots of walks and lots of photos, and she made sure to take the details of Sophie's medicine and food routine. I highly recommend.”

“Magdalena is such a wonderful and nice sitter my dog Oreo loves her and her family…she treats Oreo like her own and I’m so grateful for her….I would recommend anyone to book her services!!! 👍🏽 she’s the best sitter 👌🏽”

“Daria was a great caretaker for my senior cat! She’s kind and has a clean home. Very communicative through the app and made me feel reassured my pet was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”

“Janice took care of our doggie for the weekend and was in constant contact with us during the time we we’re away. We felt comfortable leaving our doggie with her. Her constant love and care is great for doggies!”

“We love leaving Pebbles with them! They are kind, understanding, and communicative. We have now left Pebbles with them 4 times, and they are always our number one choice. 100% recommend!”

“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”

“Amanda and her husband are amazing!! Our dogs got so much love and attention while we were on vacation. Both are anxious wrecks, and in Amanda's care they were calm and happy. She sent photos everyday, I swear they came home better behaved then when we left! Will use her everytime we go out of town :)”

“Tamar was fantastic! She was very responsive and asked great questions before watching my dog Rus. She sent a ton of photos while Rus was with her, and I could tell he was super comfortable and having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Tamar!”

“Having a shy doggie can make it hard to find caretakers, but Eva had her for a week while we were out of town and did everything to make to make her feel comfortable and grew to trust her. Walks, meals, cuddles, she was super attentive to her needs and very communicative and flexible with us on dropping off and picking up!”

“Loretta was great! They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and responsible hands. My pup can be a little shy/anxious at first, but she warmed up so quickly thanks to their gentle and caring nature. I received regular updates, and photos which made me feel connected the whole time. When I picked her up, she was happy, and clearly well cared for. Truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy. Thank you, Loretta!”

Rancho San Rafael dog parents share their Rover experiences
As a first time Rover user, Yulia made me feel less stressed about Cooper’s 2 week stay. She sent picture and video updates almost immediately and throughout his stay, which I appreciated. She asked clarifying questions about his dos/dont’s and his schedule, and took him out on plenty of local adventures. He warmed up to her and that makes me happy! I would recommend Yulia’s services and rebook in the future.

Jadine was great! It was our first time using Rover and she was very reassuring, making us feel comfortable about the experience. She sent us periodic updates with photos to make sure we were aware of how things were going. She really seemed to understand how our doggo was feeling and treated him appropriately. She even gave us some teeth-brushing wipes because our toothbrush wasn’t working well! Would highly recommend and definitely book again.

Yuliia took such amazing care of our Midnight! 🐾 You can really tell how much love and attention he received during his stay with her and her family. He looked so happy and well cared for. I truly appreciated the photo updates she sent, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It means a lot to know your pup is in good hands. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Bianca was absolutely wonderful. We left Maple with her for 10 days while we were traveling, and she took such great care of her. She kept us updated every single day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much comfort while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing we have someone we completely trust to care for our dog whenever we travel. Highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Therese is such a kind person who really knows and loves dogs. She took care of our Labrador, Sundae, while we were out of town and our dog came back happy and well cared for. We appreciate that Therese offered to do a meet and greet before to make sure it was a good fit. Therese has a beautiful yard and definitely has a lot of experience caring for all kinds of dogs. We loved all the updates and attention she gave Sundae during her stay, always making she all her needs were met. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!
