2. Ariella L.


“This was our first experience with both Rover and Ariella L. We had an excellent experience with both. Ariella was very attentive to both our dogs and followed up virtually everyday with updates and pictures. Both dogs were also very comfortable with her and her dog. The environment was spacious and clean. We plan to use her to watch our dogs again in the near future. Mary”


3. Doris R.

“Doris is amazing! I almost don't want to give a review in case she will get booked up by other people and then Milo won't get to stay with her. Doris is very attentive and always sends pics and Milo comes home happy. I trust that Milo whi started going to Doris as a puppy, is in good hands with her and her daughter.”

“Nirvana is a really great and responsive sitter! She was watching my puppy for a day while we were away, and my puppy came back happy, relaxed and tired (obviously they had a really good time!). Would definitely book with her again :)”


11. Tiina V.

“Words don’t suffice for how incredibly grateful we are to Tiina for saving our baby’s life in a moment of crisis. While we were away for our wedding our dog had a seizure cluster and needed to be rushed to the emergency ER. Tiina administered her emergency medication, and was able to get her downstairs even though our dog had lost the ability to walk. She stayed with her at the ER and FaceTimed us during all the vet interactions. When Pepper needed to be hospitalized for 24 hour monitoring Tiina went unasked and out of her way to go back during visiting hours to comfort her and let us FaceTime with her. Tiina is hands down the best, most thoughtful, and caring dog sitter we have ever worked with. She was not only incredible at understanding our girl’s quirks but she also sent so many beautiful updates and pictures throughout our stay. We feel so incredibly lucky that Pepper was with Tiina during this episode, had she had another seizure before getting to the hospital we might not have our girl anymore, and Tiina is entirely to thank for that. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”


12. Syd S.


“Syd is amazing. She maintains a patient, peaceful, and professional demeanor. Grateful we found her to sit for our fur baby. Indie loves her.”


13. Samantha D.

“Million thanks Samantha for watching and spending time with Fendi. I know she was in good hands because you sent me pictures, texted me and kept me in the loop along the way; I appreciate that!”




14. Lindsay M.


“Our pup enjoyed a week with Lindsay (and all her dog friends!) while we were on our honeymoon, and as usual, Lindsay was awesome! Super easy to communicate with, flexible with drop off/pick up timing, and most of all takes great care of all the pups! Will definitely book with her again :)”


15. Aly U.

“My dog misses her already I think. She does a great job keeping you updated and asking any questions she needs clarity on. Will be rebooking again for my next trips.”


16. Jameeka G.

“Jameeka was great! She provided daily updates and pictures of my puppy! He looked very happy and comfortable. So happy we went with her. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and we will be using her service again! Thank you so much Jameeka!”


17. Ariel S.

“Ariel was great. Flexible with both pickup and drop off times, sent plenty of photos and seemed to genuinely enjoy having Kiara for the weekend. Would happily book her again.”


18. Kitty W.


“Kitty was friendly, responsive, and understanding towards us and our dog’s needs. We were feeling quite nervous leaving our anxious dog with someone from Rover for the first time, but our Hazel quickly warmed up to Kitty and her partner. It was clear that Hazel was comfortable and happy during her stay! Kitty kept us updated multiple times a day with photos and was easy to contact, which helped put our mind at ease. We were glad we chose Kitty to board our dog for a long weekend!”


19. Miracle & Larry G.

“I would definitely leave my babies again with Miracle and Larry. They made sure to update me every single day about how my dogs were genuinely enjoying the stay with them! “We loved them so much!” was the first thing my babies told me and I do believe them.”


20. ADRIANA R.

“Absolute confidence when I leave Ollie with Adriana!!! We are repeat clients and so happy with the level of care and communication she provides. I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
