“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”

“Daniela took care of my dog Mia while I was in Europe, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mia clearly had an amazing time and was so well cared for. I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨”

“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”

“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”

“Robin & Rahn took such good care of our Charlie while we were away 💗 Robin was so accommodating when she allowed us to schedule a meet & greet the same day I reached out to see if they were available. When we showed up her energy was calm friendly and welcoming, our Charlie is normally a little sketchy with new people and he quickly fell in love with her! Their backyard is so cute and quaint with areas of nice grass for the doggies to play and lay in the sun, as well as an outdoor couches to cuddle with them on. We met Rahn the day we dropped Charlie off and he was so friendly and Charlie warmed right up to him! We knew our guy was in great hands. Throughout his stay we got lots of videos and photos of Charlie playing with toys, cuddling up with them, videos of his walks, and even him playing with their dog and one other dog they were watching which was so sweet! We instantly felt comfortable like Charlie fit in and was right at home with them and knew that he was calm comfortable and relaxed there. I will absolutely be bringing Charlie back to Robin & Rahn for our future trips! So grateful to have found them ☺️”


“Chau is such a great dog sitter! She is responsive, engaged and enthusiastic. I really appreciate Chau's excellent communication in person, via text and through photos. My dog was very well cared for over the weekend and came home happy and tired from all the fun. I will definitely use Chau again because of her obvious love for dogs and her enthusiasm to watch them.”

“Phillip is one of the best dog sitters I’ve found on Rover! He is very attentive, follows care instructions, and was super accommodating to our booking and requests. Thanks for taking such great care of maya and keeping her so active during her visit!!”

“Rylee had another great stay with her fave babysitter, Ken. She gets so many walks and all the cuddles she needs. Ken expertly handles all her puppy energy and early morning wake ups. Rylee is looking forward to her next stay:)”

“Madelyn was incredibly communicative and provided photo updates throughout our pup’s stay. It was our first time using Rover and she made it such a smooth experience from drop off to pick up. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”

“Vanessa & and her son took amazing care of Chumpie! He had a great time and misses them already! We will definitely use them again. Thank you Vanessa for treating our special boy like your own. :)”

“Ashely was super accommodating for our last minute trip after our sitter moved away, even with small modifications. Her space is quiet, perfect for senior dogs. Ashley sent photos of Doyle and Simba (her own doggo) together, two senior dogs walking slow, too cute!”

“highly recommend Zaira for your next trip! She is a very caring dog owner and sent lots of updates while watching Murphy and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Her dog Malik is very sweet!”

“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”

“Livy had a great stay with Carolina and her husband! We are so grateful they took our last minute boarding request and when we did the meet and greet our dog was immediately so comfortable around them. Thank you for taking such good care of our Livy!”

Elba was very sweet with our Luna. Our luna was having some tummy troubles and Elba was great with the instructions we provided. She took some great photos and videos of luna during her stay. We greatly appreciated them and their flexibility when our flight was delayed.

Serenity did an amazing job caring for Pip! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, with plenty of updates, photos, and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Pip was receiving lots of attention and great care. I really appreciated the effort put into keeping me informed and making sure Pip was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with Serenity again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Yael and her husband were very pleasant. I appreciate how adamant they were in ensuring that Kaleb would get along with their personal dog before accepting the request, it showed me that they really do care about animal wellness! Yael stayed in contact during Kaleb’s full stay and gave updates. Will definitely book again.

Denisse was great with Logan, being flexible and pivoting to make him happy when he decided to pout hard when we left on vacation. She was very communicative and I had an easy time with making contact with her throughout Logan’s stay. She had a sense of humor when it came to my quirky guy! All needs were met and Logan was very happy with his stay, giving Denisse kisses goodbye when we picked him up. I would absolutely use Denisse again if Logan needs a sitter.

Andrew was amazing! Benson had the best time there. I could tell Andrew and his home were the perfect fit, he really loved Benson and kept me updated with pictures. It's most important for me that someone loves being around Benson and that was my experience with Andrew. Benson couldn't wait to go with him and was so happy while there. Andrew was reliable and responded very quickly. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with Andrew!
