“Greta was so happy to see Achara when we dropped her off! Achara was very responsive and sent regular photos and updates. She was also very accommodating when our flight got delayed.”
“Roy was incredible. 5 stars isn't enough! I panicked when our dog sitter cancelled the morning we were supposed to leave for our family vacation but luckily we found Roy. Our dog can be a bit of a handful. This was our first time going away and leaving our dog with someone so I was a little nervous but I would leave our dog with Roy any day. I can't even put into words our gratitude.”
“We highly recommend Grisel to care for your dog. She took excellent care of our 15 year old dog Lexxie for 44 consecutive days while my husband under went a transplant at Stanford. Because of Lexxie’s age she is on medications for her kidneys & liver in addition to a special diet. Grisel followed instructions in all aspects of Lexxie’s care even taking her to have her monthly visit to have her nails trimmed and contacting us when she needed to see the Vet for a possible eye infection. Because of an old leg injury Lexxie could not take long walks with the other dogs Grisel cared for, so, Grisel borrowed a wagon to place her in to enjoy “walking “ with the other dogs. We plan to schedule some doggie day care days with Grisel so that Lexxie can maintain the friendships she made.”
“Martha made my dog feel super comfortable and at home. She also provided me with daily updates while I was out of the country, multiple times a day. I was very pleased and comfortable that my dog was in her care. Will definitely reach out to her the next time I go on vacation. She is the best sitter my dog has ever had!”
“Michael is great with our dog. Very easy to schedule with, sends really cute pictures and takes lots of walks. Happy to book his services again and will continue to use him.”
“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”
“Jennifer did an excellent job in taking care of my little girl! She provided me with updates and was accommodating of my schedule. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Zelda had a blast at Patty's house! As an over protective parent, We are very mindful of who we select to watch over such an important family member. And Patty fit the bill! She did an awesome job caring amd loving on our baby girl Zelda! Thanks Patty! ☺️”
“Bari and her family were amazing! They came highly recommended and I can tell why. Herbie had the best time, got tons of walks and play time, plus lots of snuggles. Would definitely recommend Bari to anyone and will be booking again.”
“Brandee is a dog whisperer! We’re so thankful to have found her. We needed a dog sitter two times in 10 days and our pup couldn’t have been at a better place.”
“Rebecca is amazing!! I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want to keep her all to myself! I have a senior dog who has some behavioral issues and she handled it all with grace. She is such a dog lover and it shows and she goes above and beyond for your fur baby. We’ll use her as much as she is available!”
“Thank you Demi! She was so flexible when our recent travel plans got complicated. We are so grateful! Demi kept me updated on Khrush’s stay. I’m so grateful to have found a Rover that is so communicative and attentive to our sweet boy. ❤️”
“Alexandra was great with my dog Lady. She kept me updated on how Lady was doing on a daily basis with photos and videos on occasions. I would definitely book Alexandra again.”
“Katherine and Brulee welcomed our dog Moxie with open arms. I was glad to leave my dog with an experienced dog owner and their well behaved dog. Katherine did a great job meeting Moxie's needs with the added benefit of having a spacious backyard. Moxie was in good hands and we appreciate the help. Will definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Megan and her husband gave my pup, Dewey, while I was away on business. From the start, they made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I could tell Dewey had the best time, when I came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! It’s clear they treated him like part of their family, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my Cavalier K, Finley, in Hana's care for a night. Hana is an outstanding sitter who is warmth, kindness, and energy. She entertained Finley with games and offered a variety of engaging toys, including a tunnel, walking zigzag toy, and bouncing animal toys. I appreciated the frequent updates she provided through photos and videos. Hana's exceptional service has earned my highest praise. Thank you, Hana. Finley and I are deeply grateful!”

We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!
Jordan was great with my dog, Nelli! She watched her overnight and took really good care of her. She kept us very updated and sent plenty of pictures. Nelli seemed happy and comfortable which is usually not like her. We have already booked Nelli’s next stay with Jordan!
Achara was such a blessing for us. We were literally leaving in 1 day, down to crunch time, and freaking out because our girls have never been away from home. She did a meet and greet that afternoon, and was so easy going, very friendly, and even suggested if we wanted to make the transition for our babies easier, that we could bring them that same evening, as an option too. She was friendly and welcoming, her down to earth demeanor spoke volumes. My son and I liked her right from the start. Once we received our first update text and picture, my husband felt reassured, more and at ease in our decision. She kept in communication with us, put us at ease with the whole process (clear communication, the payment process because it was our first time with Rover as well) and gave us both pictures and updates of how they were doing. She respected our dogs' boundaries, as well as gave them options with sleeping arrangements. We knew our dogs were in the perfect hands while we were gone. We definitely will be making plans in the near future, either for over night or even just for the day. While also having a family and pet herself, Achara did an amazing job balancing our family with hers, and we definitely with be using her services again. Thank you!
Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!
Mansi was absolutely amazing with my 8-year-old Rottweiler. From the start, her communication was quick and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly flexible when my flight was delayed an hour—something I really appreciated during a stressful travel day. Most importantly, she was so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring with my dog. She let my girl cuddle up with her and allowed her to sleep in her room with her! My dog is strong and large and this never seemed to intimidate Mansi one bit! You can tell she really takes the time to understand each pet’s needs and makes sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their human is away. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate.
