1. Robin & Rahn D.
“Ruby had a wonderful time with Robin and Rahn! They have a great space for dogs, and Robin obviously enjoys her time with dogs. She sent frequent video and photo updates and Ruby was obviously spoiled rotten with lots of walks, bellyrubs and playtime with other dogs. I hope Ruby gets a chance to visit again!”
2. Aaliyah K.
“We are so fortunate to have found Aaliyah for our dog. She made the effort to understand why our dog was “reserved” at first and slowly allowed our dog to get comfortable with her, and made her feel safe. With all the daily updates, we really got to see our dog play and be around Aaliyah, same as she is at home with us! We highly recommend Aaliyah—Because, she genuinely cares about your pet and truly treats them with love and kindness. She really loves what she does and is truly a good human being.”
3. Stephen T.
“Stephen was an amazing host for my pup Hoochie! Very attentive to my dog’s needs while I was a away and kept me up to date daily! Appreciated all the cute pictures he sent me of my dog while I was away. I was gone for 10 days and when I came back my dog was very happy, so I knew she was in great hands. Appreciated all the breaks he gave my dog too. Would 10/10 recommend Stephen to anyone and will definitely be booking with Stephen again when I need to travel. He came in super clutch to watch my dog last minute when I original plans had canceled on me. Glad to have found Stephen in a knick of time, worked out better than I imagined!”
4. Rosanna W.
“Rosanna was wonderful with my pup and I would highly recommend her! She took such great care of my dog...taking her on long walks, to the dog park, and even the beach. My pup loved her time with Rosanna, and I loved the pictures and detailed updates I received each day. Rosanna was also very flexible with drop off/pick up times. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
5. Isis M.
“Isis was great with my boys! She was very communicative and kept me up to date while I was away. The boys had such a great time. Thank you for watching them 😊”
6. Shauna & Pompilio H.
“They were both really great with Kobe! I was in need of someone to take care of Kobe very last minute and I’m glad I found them. They were super communicative and sent me updates throughout the day. I will for sure be booking with them when I’m in San Diego.”
7. Alex C.
“Alex took excellent care of my dog, Donna. He was very communicative and flexible. I would definitly book him again next time Im in the area. Thanks, Alex-you rock! Mark”
8. Della Y.
“I just had the best experience with Rover and Della! She made everything so easy for me and my pup Uzi. Della sent me adorable pictures and videos of him while I was away, and it was clear that he was having a blast. I'm definitely going to book with her again in the future!”
9. Zannah & Doug M.
“If you get nervous like me about leaving your pup with someone, look no further!!! Tuck stayed with Zannah, Doug and their foster pup Sonny for two nights and had the best time. Zannah frequently provided updates with photos and videos. If I could give more stars, I would!”
10. Daniel & Marina H.
“Kuma had the best time at Daniel and Marinas place! They took really good care of her, she loved playing with their dogs, and they sent fun updates that made me so happy to know she was well taken care of! Will definitely be coming back whenever Kuma needs a sitter! Their place is also perfect for dogs :)”
11. Alyssa K.
“Alyssa was AMAZING! Best rover sitter we’ve had yet. You can tell that Alyssa genuinely cares about the dogs she take care of, and is so attentive and understanding of their needs. We cannot thank Alyssa enough & feel very fortunate that we found her!”
12. Kasey B.
“Kasey was super flexible and accommodating during our last minute stay; especially with the schedule volatility of our holiday flights/schedule. She did amazing with our dog.”
13. Saeko T.
“If I could give Saeko more stars, I would! 10/10 would recommend! She is so loving and caring and will take care of your fur babies like her own. We just moved to the area and only had our puppy for a few months and we had to find someone to watch him so we could attend a wedding. Saeko updated us every single day with a very in-depth and thorough schedule about their day. She sent multiple photos and videos about their day every single day and put my mind at ease. We knew Bean was in good hands. If we ever need a dog sitter again, I would book her in a heartbeat. Thank you, Saeko for taking care of our Beanie boy!”
14. Blanca R.
“Alejandra is very patient with all kinds of dogs. She takes the time to get to know them and allows the dog to get to know her. She is gentle and kind. She takes care of my golden retriever while I’m on my vacations. She provides great care and hospitality. I definitely recommend her to be a pet caregiver.”
15. Melanie F.
“Melanie was fantastic and took great care of my dog. Will definitely use again the next time I’m in town!”
16. emmy M.
“OMG YOU GUYS!! Emmy provided the BEST care for Rocco. Every sitter on this app should be taking notes! Not only did she send me pics but literally obliged to every request I had to keep Rocco feeling his best. Our pets are our babies and needed to be treated as such. I’ve left Rocco with others on this app only to get him back with him feeling “out of it” or literally MAD at me for leaving him with someone who didn’t really care for his wellbeing, and only for themselves. Until now, I dreaded leaving Rocco with Rover sitters because of my lackluster experiences. But Emmy has renewed my faith. Emmy, thank you so much for taking such good care of Rocco. I’ve never seen him so happy coming out of a sitters house! ❤️”
17. Jen N.
“Repeat client here! Jen takes such wonderful care of our aussie and golden retriever. They always come home with clean bowls, which is an extra that shows Jen’s care and attention to detail. They get loved on while with her, and look so happy in her daily updates. Thank you Jen for being a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our fur babies.”
18. Melanie & Michael R.
“Would absolutely bring Thor to your family in the future! I appreciated the daily photos/updates. The love and care provided for Thor was perfect. It was an overall great experience and we are blessed for it! ❤️”
19. Quinton G.
“Quinton is my go to sitter for my two fluffy Pomeranians. He’s watched them numerous times, as long as two weeks at a time. He has worked his schedule around to accommodate care for them, and I couldn’t be more grateful! He’s given them baths, medication when needed, and has listened to feeding instructions. He’s taken them to parks and hikes with him as well and is happy to bring them along whenever he can. I trust very few people with my pups, as they are my fur children, and Quinton is one of them. I’m at peace and able to enjoy being away (as much as I can) without my pups knowing they’re in fantastic hands. You won’t be disappointed!”
20. Yasmine W.
“Yasmine was an amazing sitter for my fur babies. This is my first time having her watch them and it won’t be the last. She was very responsive and loving to both of my babies. If you’re looking for a sitter that takes care of your babies like your own, don’t look any further! She definitely helped make my trip stress free.”
