“10 out of 10 would recommend! She is very attentive to our anxiety filled puppies needs was familiar with dosing for cbd/hemp oil and calm treats. Her 2 doggies are amazing little ladies and welcomed my baby, my little girl even shared her most sacred toy with them! That speaks for itself. Loving home and lovely women all around! Will rebook!”
“It was wonderful having Alicia watch Snoop Dogg. He made friends with her dogs and loved having a big yard to run around in. She is a lovely lady and updates with cute videos and pictures.”
“It was my first time using rover so I was nervous but Dylan took care of my baby Kingston. He was nice enough to meet him first to see if it was a good fit and everything worked out. I was gone for a week and I got pictures sent to me everyday without asking. Kingston also is spoiled and has special feeding and they took care of it no problem! Definitely would use them again if needed.”
“Jocelyn is amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and she made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog, Charlie, was in great hands. Jocelyn and her family showered Charlie with so much love and care. I received multiple daily photo and text updates on her well-being and activities, which really put me at ease. She even handled Charlie’s occasional sensitive stomach with such care. There’s a reason she’s the top local sitter – highly recommend!”
“Selen did an outstanding job dog-sitting Jaya! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and kept me updated with regular photos and messages. Jaya was happy and well-cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Selen for any pet-sitting needs!”
“My German shepherd puppy loved boarding with Erica! She seems well versed with a lot of breeds, small or large. Her constant reassurance through unlimited photos/videos truly helped. Would rebook again :)”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Michelle! She took exceptional care of our labradoodle for an entire week. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and truly understands their needs. Not only did she spend quality time with our fur baby, but she also kept us updated every day with adorable pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Her genuine love and attention made all the difference. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Lindsey was an amazing doggie host and Lola absolutely enjoyed her time with Lindsey & family. She provided frequent updates and took special care of ensuring Lola’s comfort. Lindsey is absolutely recommended and you can be rest assured that your pet will be taken care of in the most loving manner.”
“Leslie was really great with our pups. She was super accommodating to any needs we had and always sent us pictures. We felt at ease leaving them with her and knew that they were in great hands. When we got the pups back they looked like they had an awesome time and were very happy. I can’t wait for them to stay with Leslie again and would highly recommend her :)”
“Darius looked after my pup and one of my friends pup for 5 days. I was nervous at first as this was my first time using rover but he was a gracious host. He provides daily updates multiple times a day and seems my pup enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so grateful for the excellent care my dog received! She was well taken care of the entire time, and I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. He also made sure to administer her eye drops exactly as prescribed, which was very important to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you again!”
“Cassandra and her kids loved watching g Bo & Parker—they are doing Rover to test different breeds of dogs to see what kind they want to get for the family. Very cheerful and response. Always enjoy pics getting pics of the pups. Will use her again.”
“Asha was amazing with my dog, Sir! I dropped him off at her house for 5 nights, and she made sure he felt right at home. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Sir looked happy and comfortable the whole time, and it was clear he was well cared for. I would absolutely book with Asha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
“This was our first time using this service, and we were initially so nervous about leaving Hiro for five days. Andrea and Izabella tag-teamed to care for him, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Hiro has a quirky eating routine—he gets fed by an automatic feeder at 2:30 a.m.—and when the system had to be reset, Andrea and Izabella even offered to set an alarm to feed him manually. That gesture alone meant so much to us, even though we later resolved it. We received daily photo updates, and it was heartwarming to see Hiro mingling for the first time—especially as they took great care in slowly introducing him to his “long-lost brothers.” Knowing he was so well looked after gave us true peace of mind. We’re already planning another longer trip in July and will definitely be booking their services again. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of Hiro!”
“Kathryn was phenomenal! She went out of her way to accommodate some car troubles I had, and Olive absolutely loved her. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Kelsey is our #1 sitter! She adores all dogs and Jake has so much fun with Franklin and other friends! She’s very responsive and always sends pictures. As a first time dog owner, she’s given me great advice about feeding him and some things to look for as he’s getting older. 10/10 - already booked again!”
“Ashely was wonderful with Remi! She sent me pictures every day and kept me in the know with what Remi was up to! Can’t wait to book again so her sweet dog Heidi and Remi can play again.”
“We had a fantastic stay with Arleatha! She is kind, responsive, and regularly sent photos and videos. I can tell she is an animal lover and I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Karlie was sooooo sweet for my Rocco during a weekend stay. Super friendly and updated us throughout the weekend with pics. To say he might’ve been spoiled would’ve been an understatement! Even with all the instructions I left, she was A+ — highly recommend!”
“I knew Oliver was going to be in good hands after I met Steven for our meet and greet. Steven was very kind and kept me updated about my dog. I highly recommend him.”
