1. Mariyana A.

“1st time using Mariyana, we were nervous bc Kobe is sometimes scared of ppl and dogs lol, but she sent us a video of him living his best life! She was great with communication & didn’t over communicate (our request). Thank you for taking care of Kobe, trust he’ll be back in April!”


2. Denah R.

“Denah was absolutely amazing. I reached out to her last minute, when my original sitter fell through, and she was so happy to help. She kept me updated daily and my pup had such a great time with her! I look forward to booking her again!”


3. Jocelyn T.


“Absolutely loved Jocelyn! She kept me constantly updated with pictures and made me feel super comfortable with leaving Kenzo with her for two days while I moved. He had an absolute blast and I will definitely be using her again for both boarding and daycare, she’s the best! Highly recommend! Thank you Jocelyn!”


4. Leslie G.

“Leslie was wonderful with my old girl! Super friendly, communicative, and clearly knows and loves dogs. She kept me updated with lots of wonderful photos and let me know how my pup was doing. This was my first time using a pet sitter on Rover and she made the entire experience great for both myself and Winnie! Would absolutely recommend!”


5. Erica R.

“I am EXTREMELY grateful to have found Erica! She's great with dogs and their humans too lol. I was able to leave my baby with her and there was not a moment I was worried about him or felt he was not getting the best love and care. I've already rebooked with her and recommended her to a family member of mine. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur baby.”

“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Daily photos and progress report were great and kept me at ease. I'm going to be a repeat customer. Thanks so much for watching Herc.”


11. Andrea L.

“I booked Andres services again after our first very positive experience! In all the photos Andrea sent, I could so clearly see how comfortable my senior wiener Peggy was at her house. I had not one worry about my dog when I was on my trip. Andrea will be our first choice for the next time we need a sitter!”


12. Maria B.

“Timmy felt like a star staying with Maria and her family! He looked so happy (and photogenic) in the numerous photos and videos she sent throughout his stay. They were very accommodating when we had to change our pickup time due to flight delays, and it was nice to be able to have one less thing to stress about knowing Timmy was in good hands. Timmy would definitely stay with Maria again in the future!”

16. Sidney B.

“Sidney looked after Eevee for a weekend and did a great job caring for her! Sidney was extremely flexible with our schedule and understood the care needs of an older dog, including frequent potty breaks and ear med administration for an ear infection. Sidney’s cat, Tiger, was also great with Eevee and she got to enjoy spending time with another animal :) Sidney was very responsive and prompt, and sent many updates throughout the weekend! We received Eevee back, happy and healthy, after a fun weekend with Sidney and Tiger!”

18. Carlos M.

“Carlos did a great job with our spunky little Chili dog, she had a great time. He went out of his way to help manage her anxiety and barking issues, and she clearly enjoyed cuddles and playing with the other dogs at his place. 10/10!”


19. Michael M.


“Michael took good care of Mia while I was out of the country. He even allowed me to pick up my girl after midnight. Great host and I will use him again for sure!”


20. Luke & Lee T.

“Luke and Lee did a great job at sitting my senior Yorkie. They took care to keep me updated during my Yorkies stay multiple times a day with text and pics. They were also very responsible in giving medications and letting me know that she had taken the meds. Made me feel at ease that my baby was being very well taken care of in my absence. I will be happy to leave my little one with them in the future.”
