“She was able to work with my reactive puppy (he can be a lot) and did some training even! He seemed calmer when I came back which was a good sign that he was comfortable with her while I was gone.”
“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Easy to book and wonderful with the dogs. Had good suggestions for how to help our newer dog with pulling on leash too. Daily pics and communication. She was also a conscientious house guest all around. Would gladly use again.”
“Jewel was great with my senior pup, Missy! She even found some creative ways to get her to eat, which I’m still doing because it worked so well. Jewel truly cared and I can’t recommend her enough! I was so nervous to leave Missy behind with someone other than family, but she was great and provided updates while I was away.”
“Arantxa was great! She sent amazing updates and also sent super great pictures of my dog. I know he was in the best of hands with her! I’d definitely reccomend Arantxa to anyone needing someone to watch over their pets because she did a fantastic job!! 10/10”
“We give her all the stars. ALL OF THEM ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! We simply cannot describe the level of service Jessica provided in taking care of our dogs, fish, home....and us! So genuine and conscientious. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!!”
“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”
“Barbara was so caring and kind to both our dog and our housw during our stay! I felt so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. We received multiple updates throughout the day and it was so very appreciated”
“We cannot recommend Woody enough! We’ve never felt fully comfortable leaving town and having someone stay overnight with our dogs—until Woody. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly loved our pups as much as we do. Our dogs adored them so much that I think they were actually a little sad when we got home! 😂 Woody went above and beyond, especially when the dogs decided to have a little adventure in the muddy backyard. They handled cleanup and care of our home perfectly—everything was spotless when we returned. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be booking with Woody again!”
“Khush took such good care of Harley. She was extremely responsive and sent through regular pictures. Harley was clearly very happy, relaxed and was in great spirits when I got home.”
“Sara was amazing! We hired her to house and pet sit while we were gone for 10 days. She took great care of our 2 dogs, cats, lizard, turtles, plants and home. She sent us pictures everyday and it was clear the dogs were happy and well cared for. She walked them twice a day and made sure all of their comforts were met. When we came home, the house was just as clean as when we left. She was very professional. She had a document for us to fill out before we left so she knew the routine and details. And she stopped by to meet the dogs and even went for a walk with us. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Brittany took great care of my two nervous pups. It was a last minute booking as my other sitter had to cancel. She was quick to respond and come meet us. She’s trustworthy and respected my dogs wanting their space.”
“Jillian was so amazing! She took great care of our anxious pup and our home. Everything was very clean and Zinnia was a very happy girl when I came home.”
“Jaydn was amazing for house sitting and watching Meatball over the weekend! This was our first time leaving him, and she kept us informed with texts and pictures, which definitely put us at ease :) I highly recommend her if you want your pup to be treated like her own!”
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“Luciana was amazing! She watched our two high-energy rescue dogs for the night, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Our pups can be a handful, but she handled them with such care and confidence! They absolutely loved her! When we got home, they were happy, well-exercised, and clearly well cared for. Luciana also sent us lots of great photos and updates. On top of that, the house looked great when we returned. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced petsitter!”
Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige was amazing with Eddy. She was super communicative the whole time which gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Eddy loved her! She was also incredibly trustworthy and left the house spotless, which was very nice to come home to. Would definitely recommend her and looking forward to booking her again!
Eve has cared for Tillman twice now and we couldn’t be more grateful for her! Both times were (coincidentally) just before TPLO surgery for our sweet boy. She clearly made sure he felt safe, comfy, happy, and received his medications while we had to be away. Eve also is super communicative with us and sends us fun pics of our baby, which we so appreciate! Will absolutely continue to request Eve for Tillman’s care in the future!!
Jewel is the best! She was so patient with my two dogs, both of whom are very nervous / flighty with new people. My boy shuts down the most and just wants to hide so he’s never let a sitter walk him which limits him to the yard anytime I’m gone. Jewel has such calm and grounded energy and she earned his trust and got him out walking on her first stay. Such a relief, as Kanoa lives for his walks. Communication was great - I got daily updates and photos for both dogs. My home was also immaculate upon return.
Yuliia did an amazing job watching our five-month-old puppy and housesitting for five days/four nights in our apartment. She left our place clean and tidy, and she kept us updated with pictures the entire trip, which really eased our anxiety about leaving. Before the trip, she asked good questions to ensure she knew everything prior to us leaving. Our pup is young and a handful, but Yuliia kept her entertained the whole time. She also takes great photos, which is a bonus :) Definitely recommend!
Ludo is the best dog sitter we have ever worked with. He goes above and beyond to make sure our 2 mini dachshunds are well taken care of. He gives us lots of updates and is very respectful and polite in our home. He’s extremely clean and always makes sure the house is better than when we left it. I cannot recommend Ludo enough!
