“Jacquelyn took great care of Josie. Really glad she was available during my long, long day out of town. She provided pictures and updates during the day and is kind and very easy to communicate with. Thank you, Jacquelyn!”

“Maren has been a godsend to us. We brought Luna home at 8 weeks and I was super nervous about finding someone to look after her while my partner and I are at work. We were in a tricky position because she's not crate trained yet, so she needs all-day care, but doggy day care's won't accept her because she doesn't have all her shots. When I asked Maren to look after our little rascal 2x a week for 2 months, she was incredibly accommodating. It's been 2 weeks now since Luna has started "camp Maren" and it's been great. Maren communicates well and sends multiple updates throughout the day. Luna loves Maren so much that she does a little happy dance (which involves jumping, wiggling, and lots of kissing) every time they meet and I can tell she's not quite ready to leave when we come pick her up. If you want someone who will love and take care of your dog as her own, look no further! Thanks, Maren!”


“My dog loves Raymond and his wife Monica! They send great pictures of her while she's there; she's happy to go in and tired (in a good way) when we pick her up.”


“We ABSOLUTELY love Courtney and her family! When we first started looking for a dog sitter, we were super nervous. Courtney and her family but as so at ease during our pups stay. He's become like a part of their family, as Courtney and her family has become ours. Rover, Courtney is THE BEST! New pup owners, if you're looking for someone honest, trustworthy, caring and more, don't wait! Book Courtney now! I promise you will not regret it.”

“Amazing!!!! Only five stars??? If it was more than 5 stars, Mia can have each & every last one, she is wonderful. The best decision was choosing Mia out of all the other sitters that were listed. Communication skills are top notch, fast replies, Mia stays in contact all throughout the day, plenty of photos and videos. I was 100% worry free while I was at work. Not once was I worried about my baby. And I know my baby can be a handful since he is a puppy, that did not stop Mia from taking my baby in and treating him like her own! I know for sure my baby had so much fun being with Mia. I can’t thank you enough!!! You’re truly a blessing! Thank you for taking such good care of Flash.”

“I needed a dog sitter in a pinch as I was going out of town for the weekend. Normally only my mom watches my furbaby, as she is the only one I trust but she was unavailable last minute. I found Bridget on Rover and could not be happier! She knew my anxiety about leaving my pup with anyone other than my mom and sent me updates/pictures throughout the weekend of him having the best time with her dog/kids! I would 1000% recommend Bridget and now know I have a back-up pup sitter if needed!”

“Jasmine took care of my two fairly temperamental pit bulls with excellent care, and I’d recommend her to anyone! She knew of Clouds allergies and did her best to follow suit with what was best for her. She took both my dogs in and walked them separately to avoid conflicts with any other animals because Reign is animal aggressive. I will have her watch them again!”
