“Jonah took wonderful care of our old guy, Cooper, while we were away for over a week. He sent several photos of Cooper and updates during the stay which were appreciated. I highly recommend Jonah and his family!”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
“Once again he was amazing! Cobra was very happy and excited to see him again! He will definitely continue being my sitter! He treated him like a part of his on family! 🥰”

“I will absolutely be letting Tara watch Raz again. Like other reviewers mentioned, when I brought him home he could not stop sleeping, so I know he had a great time. She communicated wonderfully and sent so many pics which I loved. My pup felt right at home. Very kind and caring family as well, I’d highly recommend to anyone!”

“This was my first time using Rover. It was a last minute change of plans with my original dog sitting plans. Laura was quick to respond and very accommodating around my extremely hectic schedule. She made it a very simple and smooth process. I was very pleased with her home setup and yard during our meet & greet. I knew my puppy was going to be safe and well looked after. I received lots of pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Laura to watch your pet, you will be glad you did! I know I was!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone, so I was a bit nervous. But Kerri was excellent and took great care of my Ace. I could tell he was happy being with her. Kerri gave me a daily update with photos and I really appreciated that. I will definitely rebook and recommend her for future services. She was great 👍🏾 🐕”

“We’ve left our shepherd with Chris and Cassandra a handful of times this summer and every single time has been stellar. Very knowledgeable and keeps us very updated with our shepherd’s wellbeing. Having dogs of their own is also great since it gives our boy a chance to socialize and feel part of a pack. Can’t say enough good things about these two!”

“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”

“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”

“Hali was amazing with my dog! I felt very comfortable leaving him in great hands, and Hali was sure to provide lots of updates and pictures. My dog made fast friends with her pups and came home absolutely exhausted so I know he got in lots of playtime and will be excited to go back!”

“Great overall! She communicates (sometimes a bit often), but you can tell it’s in her caring nature. She was able to go to rescue my baby after a Rover sitter left him home alone while I was out of town due to an “emergency”. Beverly was there step by step and I wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without her stepping in to get a ride to my place, pack him and his things, and take him in for boarding. She sent me pics and videos to ensure he was well taken care of. I would book with her again!”

“Pearl spent ten days wirh Steven and the stay went pretty well. I received videos of Pearl having so much fun and she came home just as she went in. I’d definetley reccomend Steven to others and will be using him in the future!”

“Could not recommend Stephanie & Brenton more!! They took amazing care of our Golden Retriever, Max. We loved getting daily pictures and updates without even having to ask for them. We felt comfortable that he was being loved on and very well taken care of the whole week that we were gone. Would use them again in a heartbeat!”
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”

“Super easy and informed stay with Jess. Even on short notice, she was accommodating and very helpful with pre-visit communication. Will happily have Mitchell visit again!”

“Absolutely great. I was never worried once about my good boy Frankie. She constantly kept me updated, and more importantly he seemed happy and comfortable in her care. I will be back, and urge anyone to book with her!”

About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of my own dogs and my friends’ many pets. I love to take long walks or sit and hang with animals if that’s what your pets need. I have had dogs in the house since I was a baby, most of which have been large high-energy dogs, so I can handle the big loud pups. My most recent pet was a high-needs senior dog, so I understand the anxiety that comes along with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I am happy to take care of any special needs and send updates/pictures to ease your mind. I have a soft spot for seniors. In the summer I work from home on weekdays. I have some flexibility when it comes to being able to take longer breaks as long as I can get all my work time in. I have lots of flexibility during weeknights and weekends! My home: I have a great home for dogs, with lots of open space and a fenced back yard. Since I work from home, I would be able to keep an eye on your pets all day long. I have a partner who is home most weeknights and weekdays as well. We recently lost our senior dog and we would love to fill our house with wags and barks again. Clients home: I have lots of experience pet sitting at friends’ homes, so I can adapt to whatever you need at your home. I am very flexible so if you’re curious about how often I can come over or anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Riverdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Elisabeth did a great job making our little guy feel right at home. It’s clear she cares a lot about understanding every dog’s individual needs-she asked thoughtful questions during our meet & greet and jotted down notes. She went above & beyond and even had a Christmas present wrapped for our dog to open on Christmas Day while he was staying with her. It’s hard leaving your fur babies behind but having a sitter like Elisabeth make’s it a lot easier.

I used Rover the first time during the Thanksgiving Holiday. I’m so glad Krystal was available to watch my puppy after my initial plans fell through. Krystal sent daily pictures and videos of Ace while I was away. I would use Krystals services again and would definitely recommend.

Danielle is amazing! From the moment we met her, she welcomed my husband and I into her home to show us where Gizmo would be staying. Gizmo quickly felt at home and got along wonderfully with her dogs. Throughout his stay, Danielle sent us plenty of photo updates, which was so reassuring. We're just passing through town, but if we're ever back in the area, we’ll definitely have Danielle watch him again.
