1. Christina W.
“Christina and her family provided Tootsie with exceptional care. Despite being out of town with limited cell service, Christina still sent updates. Her patience and love was greatly appreciated. This has been our first successful rover experience with a honest host who only accepted one client at a time. Tootsie was happy and has been napping peacefully since returning home. THANK YOU!! Would highly recommend to others!”
2. Birol M.
“B was fantastic with Bali. He was super responsive and sent me adorable photos and videos of my baby throughout the stay to show all the fun he was having and put my mind at ease. He also offered suggestions to feed and care for my baby. Would recommend B for his loving and attentive care.”
3. Kathryn L.
“Our dog mochi has a great time during his stay with Kathryn. She sent tons of cute photos and took our dog to the park everyday and was able to get his energy out. He came home fully tired and content. Would highly recommend.”
4. Joy S.
“Joy was such a wonderful sitter and provided a warm, safe and friendly home away from home for our dog. She would send frequent updates and pictures to let us know how our dog was doing and was always quick to respond if I messaged her first. Would highly recommend!”
5. Yuhan Z.
“Yuhan was incredible with our 2.5-yr-old pup Jack. We were in a bind with finding someone to watch him on such short notice, and she was more than willing to help us out. She sent us a bunch of pictures throughout the weekend, so we felt very secure. We did not have any concerns with leaving Jack with Yuhan, her husband, her todler, and her pup Oreo. Jack and Oreo seemed to have become great friends very quickly. Thanks Yuhan! We hope to use you to watch Jack again in the future!”
6. Jacob M.
“Jacob went above and beyond while watching my bernedoodle, Finn. Finn just had intestinal surgery and required special care and medications. I could tell that Finn really bonded with Jacob. Communication was great while I was abroad. Finn was happy and in great shape when I picked him up. Thanks!”
7. Tasha & Sebastien D.
“I highly recommend Tasha & Sébastien for your pet needs! We had a family trip for 6 nights and our dog Zoey was on her own vacation with them at their home. Tasha communicated with us daily and sent us lots of pictures. They walked her twice daily and did great following our instructions with her prescription diet and medications. It was our first time leaving her and we had peace of mind leaving her with them. We will definitely be using them in the future.”
8. Hanna K.
“Hanna is the absolute BEST! She will be my go-to dog sitters now. She has a clean and welcoming home. She and her family are true dog lovers. I received many photos and updates. She’s a great communicator making drop off and pickup a breeze. Thank you!”
9. Christie & Drew C.
“Christie and Drew were great! They were able to accommodate my schedule with last minute booking and were responsive and friendly. My dog Seven warmed up to them quickly and I felt like he fit right into their family. Seven enjoyed playing and hanging out with their dog Margot as well as the other dogs that were there for pet sitting. I'm also glad that Seven was able to be a part of their pack walks! I will be recommending Christie and Drew and would book again with them!”

Her warm and caring nature, combined with her dedication to ensuring dogs are happy and well-exercised, makes her the perfect choice for anyone looking for top-notch care on Rover. Brittany will go above and beyond to ensure that every dog she works with feels loved, safe, and happy.”

18. Iliana M.
“Iliana was a great choice to sit my dog Breezy while I was away for a week! She brought her sweet dog, Luna, to the dog park for a meet and greet with Breezy before I left and was flexible in coordinating drop off and pick up. She was happy to feed supplements and make sure Breezy had what she needed at her house. I asked her to send at least one photo a day so I could see my pup and she sent me lots of photos and updates on what Breezy was doing every day! I felt super comfortable while I was away and knew that my dog was getting lots of play time and love. I will definitely book with her again!”
19. Annyah H.
“Wonderful first stay with Annyah and Roger. Max is a nervous dog, especially around new people and I was nervous to find a place for him to board overnight. Annyah truly understands dogs, and provides a safe and fun environment for them to stay. Max was nervous at first, but Annyah got him out of his shell quickly. Annyah sent lots of pictures, just enough to help calm my nerves, but not too many that I was distracted on my vacation. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to take a vacation, we cannot wait to use you again soon!!!”
20. Andie S.
“Andie is our go to for when we need care for our 2 year old Aussie Goldendoodle, Griffin. Griffin is shy and experiences separation anxiety, but was quick to warm up to Andie. She is one of G’s favorite humans. Griffin adores Andie as we do! She is reliable, trustworthy, and responsible. We have Andie do in-home care for Griffin. She has cared for Griffin for both our short (2 days) and long (7+) get aways. Andie is a good soul with lots of love for animals!”
