“Maria and Nayibe were amazing with Copper. They send photos regularly and updated us on how he’s doing and were very flexible. Copper enjoyed his stay with them!”
“Yolanda is GREAT! She is very accommodating as my flight was delayed and I was two hours late picking my gremlins up. Her home is very clean and organized, and best of all my boys has bonded with her. I would definitely recommend to new and current clients. There is no doubt of future bookings with Yolanda, as she is now the boys home away from home.”
“Rebecca & her family are the best with my pup! He gets to be on vacation when I’m on vacation. I love getting updates - he is hanging out with the other pups, playing outside, or snuggly & resting in every one!”

“Lillian was so great with my Gus. I got lots of videos & photos during his stay to reassure me that my pup was doing well. She took him to dog parks & on a hike & I could tell he was having a blast! Lillian was a great communicator with me and I would definitely book again!”
“Go ahead and read the 200+ positive reviews and then feel confident booking Dan. All the reviews are spot on. Dan makes a real effort to learn about you and your dog so he can best accommodate your needs. He was helpful and communicative all the way through. Most importantly, my dog had a great time. I highly recommend booking Dan when you have the chance.”
“Poppy and Dudley had a great time at Kim’s house. Kim was so welcoming and reassuring. Updates and pictures made it a seamless and worry free experience. We will be back in just a few short weeks.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier! Dawn and her husband were wonderful sitters. My dog, Jax, was obviously comfortable within minutes of walking in the house. Through out his stay Dawn would send pictures so I could see for myself how ‘chilled’ Jax was. I highly recommend Dawn and would definitely leave Jax in her care again.”
“Was very accommodating with a same day request! Thank you, Rhonda! It was very much appreciated, so I could spend some time with my family after recently arriving in town.”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Overall Soni did a great job! She was super accessible, prompt, and our kitties did great with her. They are anxious and still getting used to each other after we moved in together. They both loved her (huge green flag for anxious kitties!). Bonus that she works remotely and was able to spend extra time here which helped them to not have the attachment issues like they have before. We also had to make a quick request for her to go by the apartment and she went over ASAP after she saw the message which we really appreciated! Big thank you to Soni!”
“Megan and Richard are Awesome with Sophie. I love how they communicate threw out the day letting you know how your little Fur baby is doing… 💯/10… Thank you guys so much”
“Auria took excellent care of our 4 month old puppy for his first overnights away from home! He got along well with her dog and I appreciated the updates she gave me. I’ll definitely use her again for dog care!”

Riverwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kim was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dog Summer while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. There was clear communication which is really important to—and Kim went above and beyond. She made sure I was always informed, sending thoughtful updates and lots of pictures that truly gave me peace of mind. Her attention to detail and genuine care for Summer really stood out. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much!
Erica does a great job with our slightly anxious husky, helping her meet other dogs and keeping her on her schedule so she settles back in well back at home. We have relied on her for short and long stays. With her experience and knowledge, she has given us quite a few helpful tips for working with our shelter dog.
Emily took great care of our puppy while we were on a trip. This was our first rover experience and we were nervous but Emily shared pictures everyday assuring us our dog was having a great time. Emily is active and has lots of dog friends and our dog loved meeting new dogs and being outside.
