“We were very happy with the communication and attention to detail while watching bella. Not only did she take great care of our dog but also our house 🧡 we would definitely recommend her and use her in the future”




2. Ashley W.

“Ashley was GREAT! I had a last minute trip pop up this weekend and she immediately responded to help me out. She even dropped what she was doing to come meet her that night! She was super responsive while I was away, and Brooklyn is worn out tonight- which I know is because she had so much fun! Thanks again, Ashley!”


3. Melissa H.

“Melissa is a great overnight dogsitter. She followed all the instructions for my dog and bullies have a lot of instructions. Ha! She provided updates everyday and you can tell she enjoys dogsitting. I came back to happy dog.”


4. Jessica Z.

“Jessica Z stayed in my house with my 14 y/o blind Boston Terrier. She was wonderful. I received daily updates and photos, she clearly took excellent care of my pup. She left my place spotless and I would highly recommend her. She is excellent and I will definitely use her again.”


5. Joanne & Becky J.

“Joann and Becky stayed with our dog and cat for almost a week a d they were terrific! They sent lots of updates and pics, and I could see my pets were comfortable, happy and well cared for. I will book with them again in the future. Highly recommend!”


6. Adrienne N.

“Adrinne was incredible! She took great care of our dog, Rita, taking her on my walks, to dog-friendly coffee shops, and many snuggles. She sent photos and updates every day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her back!”




7. Carole & Shannon C.

“We were so happy to have Carole staying at our house and taking care of our puppy! We were sent many updates and assured that our dog had been well taken care of. Thank you!”


8. Lily S.

“Lily was a blessing for our family!! This was the very 1st time we have used rover. We ended up adopting a dog 2 weeks before a preplanned vacation. Lily was so patient and understanding with us as we had very little information about our new family member when we booked with her. We were able to leave her with notes on training our new dog had and we gave her the ability to address and immediate concerns with positive training as she saw fit to help her week go smoothly. Lily was able to help bridge the gap with consistent training while we were gone to ensure we didn’t lose precious training time. She was also able to pivot and help address any behavioral issues or quirks that arose that we were unaware of. She even sent us videos and a great description of how she addressed them. She sent updates everyday and didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions. She put away our grocery order before we arrived and made sure to have the house cleaned up and even washed the towels I left out for her. We definitely will be booking with her again.”


9. Lanaya O.

“Lanaya was great. She could handle our Great Dane with no problems for a whole day, even sending us pictures through the day without us asking for them which was really nice of her. First time using rover for us but it won’t be the last. Thanks Lanaya! We will see you soon.”


10. Liz P.

“Liz was wonderful to work with. I had her stay with my dog for 2 nights in my home since it was the first time I would be away and thought it would be less stressful than boarding him. I was really happy I made the choice to have her stay. She was very responsive and sent me daily updates! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking to do this for the first time and is unsure, and I will use her again in the future!”


11. Addoris D.

“Thanks for taking care of our dog and cat. They appeared well taken care of. The house was clean when we got home as well.”


12. Carrianne L.

“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”


13. Alyssa B.

“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”


14. Mikalanne T.

“Mikalanne was great with my senior pups who are definitely creatures of habit. Active communication is so reassuring when I have to be away from my pet family. Highly recommend.”


15. Lenys H.

“Lenys did a fantastic job watching my dog Miles. She was very attentive to him, and she provided transparent communication as well as pictures throughout the week. I would highly recommend her.”


16. Kathryn D.

“Kathryn has been amazing! She picked up a request super last minute and was so sweet to my pup. She really goes above and beyond what a typical dog watcher would do. Would definitely recommend!!”


17. Jackie C.

“Jackie is incredible! Great communication, she is punctual, sent so many pictures, and best part was my pup was so happy. I definitely recommend! Thanks again Jackie!!”


18. Rebekah F.

“Rebekah was very kind and gentle with our dog, Zoey. She kept her entertained and happy. She was very professional and communicated well, and also kept us updated with photos and texts. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her.”


19. Travis H.


“Travis was amazing and I would highly recommend! He sent daily pictures of the dogs and I know they were very well cared for. He had great communication and was very easy to work with. I was able to actually enjoy my vacation and not have to worry about my dogs being cared for properly as he did an amazing job.”


20. Riley N.

“Riley was great with our little anxious dogs. They immediately loved her and seemed very content when we got home! We’ll definitely book with her again!!”
