“Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.”

“I couldn't be happier with the service provided. They communicated with me daily for an entire month, sending me pictures and videos of my dog meeting new friends and going on fun long walks! I could tell my Greyson was extremely happy and comfortable and well taken care of every day. They had him for his birthday and they even sang him happy birthday. They are an excellent family with lots of love for animals.”

“Kaitlyn was incredible! Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!”

“Rebecca is a wonderful dog sitter. I have left Stella with her on more than one occasion as she always takes great care of my dog. All directions were followed and she was very accommodating when I had to change pick up due to upcoming bad weather. I highly recommend Rebecca for dog sitting.”

“We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.”
“Emily and Daniel were phenomenal watching my dog Ace! Very accommodating, excellent communication and updates, and could tell Ace genuinely had a fun time and was taken care of!”

“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”

“Isabella was great! She attended to my dog perfectly and was extremely communicative, updating with lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”


“Lyn was fantastic with Luka! It was the first time leaving Luka overnight while my boyfriend and I went away for the weekend. Lyn cared for Luka spectacularly with daily exercise, playtime, and treats. She sent regular updates of how he was doing, along with pictures of what they were up to. Thank you so much Lyn!”


“We boarded our dog Bentley for a week with Lissette who is a consummate professional. We couldn't be happier and are extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received. When you leave what your pet likes and enjoys doing in the profile section, she makes sure that she accommodates that request. We mentioned that Bentley likes to sit on top of a couch with a blanket and sure enough we received pictures of Bentley doing just that. In fact Lissette will send you photos of your pet twice a day by text which is great. Lissette is not only super nice, but also very friendly and down to earth. She has been doing this for a long time, and she cares a lot about your pet. Look no further. We are so glad we found such an enjoyable place for Bentley where he got to spend time outdoors, on walks, playing with other dogs and we felt he had a vacation as we did!”

“Rylee and roommate, Megan, did a great job caring for our dog, Scout. They are young women, very responsible, with a good space and ability to care for dogs while travelling. Walking paths and open areas for the dogs to walk and explore nearby. Thumbs up!!”

“Sunisa and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Chowder! He was so well taken care of while I was away and I loved receiving updates and photos the entire time. Sunisa was also so flexible with scheduling which helped me greatly during my travels. I highly recommend her for your pet’s care!”
“Sophia is fantastic, and Tucker loved her. I also need to mention that Sophie was very flexible, I had some issues coming back home, and she accommodated Tucker with kindness for my peace of mind. Thank you Sophia”

“Zwany and Leandro took absolutely fantastic care of our two dogs Cooper and Maddie! They provided us with daily updates and lots of great photos to show how great the two pups were doing. We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!”

Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.

Stella is an amazing dog sitter! She watched my husky overnight and shared tons of updates and adorable pictures. She took him on tons of long walks and adventures and he came back happy and sleepy :) I definitely recommend Stella if you’re looking for a fantastic dog sitter!!

Paige is amazing!!! I can not recommend her highly enough. She provided very frequent updates every day without us needing to ask for them, a huge relief while we were out of the country. We had initially left our dog with a rover we did not trust and Paige was so understanding and helped us switch. We felt so comfortable once our dog was with them and we know they showed our dog so much love. Thank you Paige & Joe!!

Mac and Maria were absolutely wonderful with Finn! I had a last-minute business trip come up and they were incredibly accommodating, taking him in for nearly a week with no hesitation. When I picked Finn up, it was obvious he’d had the best time. he didn’t want to leave! You can tell they genuinely love what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you both so much!

Charlotte was absolutely amazing with my 1 y/o lab! She watched him for two days and made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was extremely communicative, sent lots of updates, and made sure I always knew how he was doing. It was clear he was in great hands the whole time. I truly appreciated her attentiveness and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful petsitter.
